Many felt Lil Wayne reached the peak of his career with Tha Carter II. At the time, he proclaimed to be the “best rapper alive.” Jay-Z coined the phrase, right before his retirement. Looking up to Jay-Z, Lil Wayne dubbed himself the heir apparent.
After making such a proclamation, many felt Lil Wayne would continue releasing new albums. Instead, Lil Wayne stopped releasing albums in favor of mixtapes. Though unorthodox, the method worked and Lil Wayne built a large underground fanbase.
