    His best work to date

    If Gillie didn't write it, his influence on it was dope. Tha Heat is my favorite Lil Wayne song.

    selling in the 90 ' s was way easier than it was in 2004... but it still did good numbers...


    cultural impact? just like ? and cronic... the carter helped influence the generation it was made in...

    You said it did things that the Chronic and ? did. It didn't sell more. What were the Carter's influences? How did it change the game?

    It help bring wayne to a dominate force from 04 till at least 2012... it also and because of the fact that wayne ran the game for those years that means he helped change the game...

    and also I'm sure he went Plat off that album... (sold 100k 1st week) so it's still comparable. ..

    The Chronic and ? created a new sound that for good or bad had been emulated for years by other west coast artists and even artists from other regions.

    The Carter was cool but did that album give 90% southern artists their sound? That album's sound was already established from years past.

    Yea regional when there was a bidding war for him after the carter dropped... also you can't deny the ? buzz around that time... carter 3 was commercial.. but he was a mega star before that... he could not have done the numbers he did if that wasn't the case...

    The Bidding War happen after Carter 2 not the First Carter. Buzz was relegated to Mainly the South and Part of Midwest. He was not a mega star as result of the Carter. Even if you throw in Carter 2 you can't say he was most popular rapper from the south.
