370 - Tha Carter II
On Tha Carter II, Lil Wayne anointed himself the “best rapper alive,” and drove himself insane trying to make good on his declaration. He demolishes the same beat three ways (“Fly In,” “Carter II,” “Fly Out”), like a Michelin-starred chef using every part of the animal, and drops 106 and Park jams (“Fireman,” “Shooter”) with ease. “I deserve the throne,” he raps on “Hustler Musik.” “And if the kid ain’t right, then let me die on this song.” Two years later, Wayne was alive and well, and the throne was firmly secured.
208 - Tha Carter III
By 2008, Lil Wayne contained multitudes: Best Rapper Alive, Pussy Monster, Martian, Weezy F. Baby (and the “F” is for,
well, pretty much any word starting with “F”). Tha Carter III was a monument to this multiple-personality menagerie. “A Milli,” a glorified freestyle, fully crossed over to the mainstream, while “Lollipop,” a robotic R&B jam, rightly bet that an audience was ready to invest in Wayne’s croaky, syrup-addled singing voice. More than a decade later, even Wayne’s most outré personalities are still birthing musical descendants.
How many placements other rappers got:
Kanye 6
Jay 3
Outkast 3
Kendrick 3
Wayne 2
Drake 2
BIG 2
Eminem 2
Snoop 1
50 1
2Pac 1
Juvenile 1
Lauryn Hill 1
Nas 1

Wayne could have reached out and got great production but settles for dated producers and randoms. Same goes for a better team. I'm not a fan of if's. This the reality. And Wayne isn't even doing bad - 2 top 500 projects is great and on par with people on this list such as Eminem and Drake.
