The top songs are all from Tha Carter III. Most of Lil Wayne's fans actually need to listen to his music. Da Drought 3 is a million times better than Tha Carter III. Oh and if you call him the worst rapper alive you obviously forgot about most of Soulja Boy's music.

Wayne is killing anything. He's dope. I'm going to quote Hove on this one "You say I only talk about Jewels do you listen to music or do you just skip through it". I'll admit his concepts aren't that differnt but he does have quite a bit of songs focusing on different topics. Like when he complained about bush, or when he talks about what it's like for a hustler to survive down there in New Orleans.
