After selling 1 million copies of "Tha Carter III" in its first week of release, Lil Wayne is unquestionably the most popular rapper around today. However, his self-proclamation of "best rapper alive" is up for debate, since the guest verse from Jay-Z on "Mr. Carter" ironically outshines both from Lil Wayne. That said, Wayne's unique delivery paired with Jay's strong presence make for a double whammy of star power, with the former eager to prove he's capable of living up to the hype alongside the former Def Jam president reminding everyone of his own rap legacy. It's actually refreshing to hear the two hugely successful, credible artists still sounding as hungry as unknown rappers trying to get their big break.—Shad Reed
