If C4 sessions made C4 it'd be a classic album as well

I want a legit answer on how Carter 3 isnt a classic. It's honestly mind blowing that I can go outside ask a random person off the street if they think Carter 3 is a classic album and classic time in hip hop and they will agree. Hell most people who aren't Wayne stans like us say Carter 3 is his best album without thinking about Carter 2 or 1 first. So please tell me how it isn't classic because many people who are not even fans agree it is classic and so many rappers in the music business agree it is a classic album as well. I mean there isn't a bad fuckin song on the album what is the issue..? Just because it wasn't as good as C2 or C3 sessions? Like I don't get it. Even the really commercial songs like Lollipop, Ms. Officer & Got Money were great and classic songs. If your gonna sit here and tell me just because ya didn't like Phone Home or something and that didn't make you like the album or disregard it as a classic then idk what to tell you. That album is great, and yes it is easily a top 30 hip hop album of all time.

"FOR ME" the Wayne STAN that I am, I truly believe I am a ultimate WAYNE STAN. As a Stan, I believe Tha Carter III DID NOT live up to the hype.

Random people off the street know little about Wayne except for his singles. They rarely know any album tracks so I never pay them any mind. Ask them to spit "Feel Me" off Tha Carter II and they wouldn't know not one word. And I would have to disagree with you. I don't believe that a random Hip-Hop purist believes Tha Carter III is his best album. I never hear that & I definitely never heard that from people in the streets.

Mrs. Officer & Got Money Aren't classic songs IMO I personally can do without them, it's cool to hear them every blue moon but they aren't in my top 100 Wayne songs and not in my top 15 Wayne singles.

Yes The Leak & Tha Carter III Sessions also put a damper on the album for me because I was expecting that type of quality on the Album and I didn't find that. When I make my list of favorite Wayne songs I find more of the Leak and the Sessions in my top 50 than I do of the songs that were actually on Tha Carter III. The Hype was SOOOOO Big. I never seen anything like that in my life. I belive that album was the most anticipated Hip-Hop albums of all-time. That's the only thing classic about Tha Carter III IMO because when I listened to it, I was just like "Oh,ok" and me wishing he would have put such and such songs on the album instead of the ones he had on there.

Classic albums I expect to be amazed from start to finish and maybe skip 1 and minimum 2 songs. And me personally I can do without "Got Money", "playin with fire", "La La", "Phone home" (although I don't dislike it as much as some people do) "Dr. Carter" is so much of an reach it annoys me sometimes I can go without that it. I don't even count that trash ass "pussy monster" song that's an embarrassment to even be on the album. Out of all the songs they could have put on there they put that bullshit on there. I don't believe I've listened to that song since 2008 and I'm dead ass serious. Lollipop only was what it was because of the anticipation of the first single of Tha Cater III it wasn't all that great or spectacular but I'll still label it a classic for doing what it did. Damn and to be honest I didn't like "Let the Beat Build" until I saw him perform it live. That shit was hella dope! I didn't think "comfortable" was all that until later as well.

After awhile Carter III grew on me. I absolutely love "Shoot me down", "A Milli" one of my all time favorites, "3 Peat" Classic, "Mr. Carter" Dope "Tie my hands" nice, "You aint got Nuthin" my shit, "Misunderstood" dope besides the skit.

So for me, like you said. its a GREAT ALBUM but compared to other classic it's not on that level and to me its not in his TOP 3 best projects.

No reason, "Gossip", "I'm Me", "Hate Me or Love It", "La La La" & "Something You Forgot" shouldn't be on Tha Carter III. No excuse what so ever that should have been mandatory. Ain't nobody care about no damn leak. Hell and Idk how old you were at the time but "I'm A Beast & "Prostitute Flange" was fucking up the streets and parties back in the day so I even feel they should have been on there.

So That's Why "I" Feel Tha Carter III Isn't A Hip-Hop Classic, But The More People Who Feel It Is More Power To Them & To Wayne. It's A Good Look On His Legacy

Yea I don't get it... what's even crazier is we have people on here saying FWA is better then C3 like wtf are y'all on... only on lilwaynehq will you ever hear someone say something so ignorant like that. I loved FWA probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite release that year behind Dirty Sprite 2 & If You're Reading This It's Too Late, but never out of all times of listening to it did it ever cross my mind maybe this is better then C3. Never, and it's not even close. People say "he rapped better on it" okay tell me a song on FWA that is better lyrically then Let The Beat Build, Dr. Carter or even the intro 3 Peat.? People be buggin.

That's A Force I'll Never Say That Shit
