Lil Wayne is the highest rank and the best rapper in the world today by far he has been killing the other rappers in sales and records sold for the last few years. Because his music is real, it’s about the hard ship he grew up in and how his family and friends growing up in the gang world have died and the things they had to do to survive. Wayne has taken the task of album-making seriously: This isn't a mixtape; it's a suite of songs, paced and sequenced for maxaqimum impact. He's collected sleek, powerful beats from top producers (Kanye West, Swizz Beatz), enlisted A-list guest stars (Jay-Z, T-Pain) and served up a range of textures and moods, from the elegiac Hurricane Katrina protest "Tie My Hands" to the bubblegum bumper "Lollipop," in which Weezy has a laugh at selling out by creating the most outrageously pumped-up sellout single in history. Thematically, Carter III is a victory lap. In the hilarious "Dr Carter," he boasts about resuscitating hip-hop: "As I put the light down his throat/I can only see flow/His blood's starting to flow/His lungs starting to grow." A good song with great lyrics is the song that’s how u let the beat build. Is about how he so good he doesn’t need a beat to rime the raps he makes. Then it leads up to a hot ad sick beat that makes everyone that listens to it say now he is the best rapper alive. The other good song is called Mr. Carter. It’s about his road to the rapping world how he became so big. A lot of people have respect for him and it also tells a little bit about his past life in gangs and drugs. So in my opinion Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive in the game to this day.
