We may never get Tha Carter V from Lil Wayne.

But he can debate Tha Carter III forever.

DJ Akademiks sparked an Internet wide discussion of the album this morning when he criticized it as less than a classic.

Carter 3 aint no f*cking classic. Carter 2 is. the 2 mixtapes he dropped right before Carter 3 were better than Carter 3.... https://t.co/Jg1kScNJmP

I cant call Carter 3 no classic when songs that got LEAKED or left Off the album were better than songs that ended up making the album. FOH

Carter 3 is just a pretty good album that was HELLA overhyped based on the body of work for Wayne for the 24 months preceeding it.

Thats the standard for a classic these days.... Over Half the album is good? https://t.co/PGpOZZxprB

Sales aint got nothing to do with Carter 3 being considered a classic. SALES = DEMAND... NOT QUALITY. https://t.co/mL3uRqMyHw

Many people disagreed with Ak's take:

THE CARTER 3 WAS THE LAST CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE 2000s FACTS

After all the bullshit artists you post about and champion for...there should not be a single fucking critique of wayne

Carter 3 is a classic because of what it did for the Hip Hop culture. Carter 3 birthed a lotta new rappers today

Ak had some responses to the criticism:

Im just a nigga with a opinion. Aint more right or wrong than anyone else. If ppl just happen 2 pay attention to me more than u not my fault
