    Wayne got so much better from C1 to C2. Its like comparing 1017 Thug to Barter 6.

    Wonder why dre does crap like this… him and Wayne have almost 100 songs together (this was back in 2012). That alone could be a couple classic albums.

    I personally like C5 the best. C4 is explosive though

    Dude’s gotta have d--- near 1000 unreleased tracks out there at this point.
    …and 1000 is wildly not an unrealistic exaggeration.

    But why… I don’t understand . Unless he has some godly master plan to release it all. He could totally make a detox app. Have people pay monthly subscriptions and release it all that way.

    I mean what in the h--- is even the point over making all that music for it not to be heard.

    curiously condescending wording for a woke lib. and could you be any more socially awkward? how about just asking the dude, "how does 'woke' fit in this context?" what a jackass

    Nah man, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to put C2 over C1. I know a lot of people who say C1 is better too I don’t think it’s that obscure of an opinion. A big draw for C1 is the Mannie Fresh production which it sounds like you’re not a huuuuge fan of if you don’t like Go DJ.

    mannie production carries it THAT much tho? i mean i guess..it has a certain nostalgic feel to it but nah i can’t get with that, i’d put it below c3 as well

    I mean there's definitely something endearing about younger wayne's voice (kinda like with younger kendrick's voice which makes sense considering how influenced by wayne kendrick is). The Mannie Fresh production makes it feel much more regional cuz he's always incorporated elements of bounce into production (not necessarily on C1 just in general) which on its own doesn't automatically make it good but it def makes it stand out from the rest of the carters imo...plus the fact that all the production was handled by mannie besides 2-3 songs makes it feel very cohesive.

    I love C3 but it feels very packaged (because it was)—that's not necessarily a bad thing, there's tons of great hits on there that are more palatable to the crossover masses in addition to some genuine weird wayne moments like phone home and lala. And songs where he just goes off like let the beat build.

    I'm not mad at people putting C2 and even C3 above C1, but C4 or C5 above C1 is insane to me.
