before I get shit for this, I have to say their last CD is RADICALLY different from their first one and is pretty goddamn awesome, don't rag on them unless you've listened to them. I for one absolutely loathed Fever but love the new sound.
Shmeh. It's got a couple good tracks on it. Namely Mr. Carter and Dr. Carter. I was disappointed in the lack of intro outro and middle tracks like the last 2 carters. Flobots are pretty good though.
There are dozens of artists that are far better than Lil Wayne... Please youtube: Brother Ali - Picket Fence & Rain Water Sage Francis - Makeshift Patriot Lupe Fiasco - Intruder Alert, Streets on Fire & Little Weapon
And if you really want to experiment: Immortal Technique - You Never Know & Dance with the Devil

Da carter 3 was just addicting, It was hot. However , Wayne has had much hotter albums with less slow shit on them.
If you like Lupe, I strongly suggest you listen to those two songs by Immortal Technque...
"The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy Conservative political right wing, ideology Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave? Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism? Human rights violations, we continue the saga El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension And they refuse to even mention, European intervention Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams Media censorship, blocking out the video screens A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin' The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin' And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks You don't give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God Bitch n***** scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard" - The 4th Branch This song alone beats all of Lil Waynes' combined.
