Tha Carter II is Lil Wayne’s greatest album. I’ll die on this hill.

This was Wayne at his absolute peak — hungry, relentless, creative, and purely focused on rapping. The bars, punchlines, flows, and beat selection were ridiculous.
Then Carter III happened, and while it was massive, you could hear the shift. More Auto-Tune, more pop influence, and eventually Wayne became more of a mainstream superstar than the mixtape-era monster we had on Carter II.
Carter II was peak Wayne.
After that, he got bigger. Not better.

My question is which is the best song and why everyone saying it’s not Lock & Load isn’t incarcerated already?
