Lil Wayne lands his fourth No. The set, which was released on Sept. That sum is the third-largest week for an album in Further, Tha Carter V also opens with the second-biggest streaming week ever for an album, with million on-demand audio streams logged for its songs in its first week.

The Billboard chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U. The new Oct. Third-Biggest Week for an Album in As Tha Carter V bows with , units earned, it registers the third-largest week for an album in Tha Carter V leads a busy top 10, which includes five debuts, with new arrivals filling out the top four spots.

Wayne has spent half of his career as an artist on the venerable rap label Cash Money Records. But after releasing 10 albums with the label, he parted ways after a long, drawn out legal battle with the CEO and mentor Bryan "Birdman" Williams. Out of his past projects, Weezy's most revered music series is Tha Carter albums. In varying album releases from to , Tha Carter series helped establish Wayne as a major pop star with street credibility. But not there yet. He was still so young.

Does it hold up for you guys or is that a roadblock? Dee: I …. Craig: Do you like his beat selection since parting ways with Mannie Fresh? I think my biggest issue with Wayne is what he chooses to rap over.

And the poop bars. Dee: Very rarely. Wayne has a terrible ear for beats. What happened there? We should probably be thinking about it more because if the two of you find the trajectory of the Carter albums to be a kind of downward slope, I wonder what that means for the new album. We have to see where the story goes, but expectations are just so low.

Maybe C4 is a gift in that respect. I also agree with Craig. Wayne got it in his head that he could do whatever he wanted after achieving peak cultural saturation. I also think Wayne burnt out. He also found an outside passion to invest more time in skateboarding and rap became the side hustle instead of the only hustle. I get the sense that Wayne has fallen out of love with rap.

Nothing wrong with that.
