If Tha Carter is the project that foreshadowed the career-defining run that Lil Wayne would go on during the mid-to-late 2000s, then its opening track, “Walk In,” is the moment he hit the launch button. Nevertheless, it’s fair to argue that “Bring It Back” is still superior, a true ode to New Orleans bounce music that rings out like pure Southern party rap.
After the former failed to make noise in the summer of 2004, the latter hit airwaves that October, giving Wayne his first hit, and in turn, making him a borderline pop star. In an alternate universe, “Bring It Back,” the first single released off Tha Carter, catapults Lil Wayne into the mainstream, making its second single, “Go DJ,” nothing but gravy. Alas, four years after the track was first teased, the two let loose on “Mona Lisa,” a standout from Tha Carter V, as the GOAT more than holds his own in the same ring as rap’s current king. Unfortunately, their peaks never overlapped-with Kendrick hitting his stride right as Wayne began his decline-and we were forced to accept the idea of an in-his-prime Lamar rapping circles around a washed Wayne. Kendrick Lamar ( Tha Carter V, 2018)Īs soon as he ascended into hip-hop’s upper echelon in the first half of the decade, rap fans labeled Kendrick Lamar the heir apparent to Lil Wayne, a lyrical genius worthy of capturing the throne once occupied by his idol. Batting clean-up, he wastes no time reminding us why he was the best rapper alive, wiping the floor with his guests before ending his verse with a picture-perfect mic-drop-“ Weezy, I’m at the top, foot up in your bottom / Huh, damn I mean, foot up in your ass / I kick that shit now gon’ put it in the trash.” 31. Exceptional, punch-line-laden verses from Fabolous and Juelz Santana leave Wayne no choice but to bring out the big guns. Carter,” “A Milli,” “Let the Beat Build,” and “Shoot Me Down.” But when the penultimate track, “You Ain’t Got Nuthin,” rolls around, Wayne flips a switch. You could argue that Lil Wayne is on cruise control for much of Tha Carter III, bringing his A-game to only a handful of songs, particularly, rappity-rap tracks “3 Peat,” “Mr. Fabulous & Juelz Santana ( Tha Carter III, 2008) Though Drizzy only handles the hook, “She Will” felt like the prophecy that laid out by Wayne on 2010’s “Money to Blow”-“ We gon’ be alright if we put Drake on every hook”-had been fulfilled.ģ2. The track served as a reminder that Young Money’s co-kings were moving in opposite directions, with Drake fixated on the throne and Wayne intent on proving he was still at his apex. The following year, the pair linked up on “She Will,” their first collaboration since Wayne’s return home, and the third single from Wayne’s post-prison release, C4. That all changed during Wayne’s prison stint, however, as Drake leveled up with a Platinum debut and established himself as the rap game’s top dog. Up until that point, their relationship followed an established hierarchy, with Wayne, the Best Rapper Alive, doubling as the clear alpha to his YMCMB protégé Drizzy.
In March 2010, Lil Wayne began serving an eight-month jail sentence at Rikers, leaving the fate of his Young Money empire to the label’s rising star, Drake. Note: When you embed the widget in your site, it will match your site's styles (CSS).36.
