@@gigachad4782 lol 😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Illmatic Vs ready to die/reasonable doubt
Carter 2 vs get rich or die trying
Ant is better at debating but he’s defending an album that’s just so much worse
Both classic albums, but Graduation changed hip hop forever
Listen to lollipop and got money then go and listen to young thug or uzi and tell me they don’t sound like Wayne back then. He literally inspired a whole generation of rappers with that album, even they would admit that.
And so did the carter 3
Wayne change hip hop forever. Graduation had little impact compared to 808s
@@traplover6357 my exact thoughts . I’m pretty sure that a milli was the first mega song to not have a hook .
@@azma775 “Triumph” by the Wu tang was one of first to not have a hook/chorus and be a classic single
Someone put the We Cry Together behind this. All jokes but I really enjoy this. Keep it up guys!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
YES PLEASE LOL
Fr
They funny asl
Pls yes 😂
I love TC3, but man Kanye’s Graduation made HipHop so different. Those Samples are so unconventional 💯🐐
Both classics ofc but graduation is just on another level 🔥
Tha Carter 3 is literally the Blueprint of Pop Rap Graduation is a cool record but hasn't aged well
@@doodoocheeks420ballsac5 graduation defeated 50 and gangsta rap and paved the way for non gangsta rappers like Drake, Cudi, Wale, Sean, Cole
@@doodoocheeks420ballsac5 but you can argue that it has so many timeless songs such as flashing lights, i wonder, homecoming, etc…
@@user-qd6im2hp2e grad aint defeat shit imo. gangsta rap just aged horribly along the years and ppl were getting tired of it as it had less and less soul in it tbh
@@doodoocheeks420ballsac5 Graduation even inspired Ye's favourite rapper. Listen to The Blueprint 3. You'll see how.
I think that the Carter 3 is great but graduation literally gave you endless bangers and timeless music ! It’s hard to compete with Kanye he has changed the game so much 😂
Weezy definitely has too everyone wants to be Wayne now that’s why Carter 3 is greater
@@falcon4148 na i love weezy but grad aged 10000x better
@@shnye ngl idk what u have been smokin, but u need to drop that shit immediately
@@falcon4148 bro idk it’s just my opinion that’s also why graduation had more plays
@@shnye again drop that shit immediately
I applaud ant for trying his best against Lou, but its hard arguing for Carter 3 when Lou's favorite Kanye album is Graduation lol. It was rigged from the start
Fax and he would not let him speak
lou is speaking more factual to be fair.. Graduation is more impactful. Tha Carter 3 would win against any other album..
It's actually scary to argue with Lou lmao
this battle got personal 😂. but heated , had me questioning both albums
5:36 Ant’s face 😂
Yeah it was hilarious
Carter III is a rap album. Graduation is art.
Carter lll is art
Those aren’t mutually exclusive
Graduation is soft pop album, Carter lll is explicit hardcore rap
Ant’s “put that fucking phone away” towards the end had me dying 💀💀💀
Carter lll is a amazing album but graduation is just on another level
So much so that it sold less 🤦🏻
@@azma775 sales are not everything
@@oscarwitt7681 but you said it’s on another level . Sales aren’t Everything but they are def something
@@azma775 yo mama is def something
@@bucio2real yo daddy too if you had one
Carter 3. One of the most re-playable albums ever.
Free Smoke is finally back, you love to see it.
Hell yeah
5:52 This just confirms Luca just hates Wayne 💀
Fax he best be joking gooddammn
Takashi Murakami not only designed the graduation album cover, he also directed the Good Morning video. Now you’re seeing everyone in hip hop working with him. Ye introduced Takashi to the hip hop world. Graduation was about art, fashion, music and film.
5:35 Ants face made me laugh so hard 🤣 I cant even tell if he was disgusted or shocked or disappointed
💀
can't blame him with Lu yapping like that 💀💀💀
I was dead the whole way through , I can’t wait to see more free smokes like this
We needed this. Both monumental albums.
But its Graduation for me dawg. That album literally is on a different planet
Kendrick topped it multiple times
@@jaydenminthorn7322 😐
@@jaydenminthorn7322 Kendrick hasn’t topped it whatsoever.
@@mrmxyzptlk8906 Gkmc, tpab even damn. Is better than graduation
@@jaydenminthorn7322 nope, neither of those. TPAB is the closest. But Graduation is the far more successful and influential record. And has the better sounding songs. Nothing on TPAB touches Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Stronger or Flashing Lights.
Okay Kanye cannot and will never ever compete with Wayne’s rapping ability and Wayne cannot compete with Kanye’s hooks and artistry but Wayne better overall rapper and Kanye is better overall Artist
Well said
I’m convinced Lu hates Lil Wayne. 🤦🏽♂️
same
Who could blame him? Lil wayne is trash.
He said Wayne is top 15. He was trippin in this video tho
YESSSSS
SIR
For me this only cemented that Kanye is on a different level that Wayne. Kanye has ATLEAST four albums that are on the same level as the Carter 3.
same level? cmon bruh he has 7 albums way over carter 3 level
C3 isn’t even weezys best album lol
Kanye is on another level
2 of the most essential Albums of that Era! Glad this seried is back
i feel like people dont give tha carter 3 the appreciation it deserves, its a super close match up, both had decade defining songs
I think as pure rapping goes tha carter wins, but creativity wise graduation wins, overall I've got tha carter 3 but its insanely close, my pick would change just depending on the day you ask lmao
Love it! Both made great cases. Keep up the awesome work!
Love that this series is back. Lu seemed a lil more aggressive than usual lol like he was str8 disrespecting Wayne. Like tha carter 3 is legendary. Great video though!
You guys are fr one of the best channels when it comes to music 🙏🙏 can’t stress that enough 😭
I swear these 2 are closer and closer to throwing hands on camera 🤣🤣🤣
Bro y’all have to do these more, I fucking love the Free Smoke videos.
These free smoke debates are so fire. I wish you guys did more of these. I love the passion.
i love this matchup. these are right next to each other on my all time favorites list. this is incredibly close but im gonna go carter 3
This was wonderful. I like the new structure of Free Smoke.
Lil wayne absolutely innovated from C2 to C3 with the singles, the hooks, the features, and just being able to polish his mixtape sound and elevate with songs like Lollipop.
Carter 2 is a great rap album but Carter 3 is a classic album
Both are classics
“Put that fucking phone away” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ant funny as shit
Great video guys, I love watching y’all heated debates keep them coming
The Impact after both album came out is just amazing. Weezy & Ye forever Goated🐐
Great video but I liked the format where you gave each other a set amount of time to speak uninterrupted and then a chance to rebut. It’s a lot easier to follow and listen when it has a proper flow to it.
Lets go been waitin on this. W
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME
Graduation might be a more groundbreaking album for sure and I love it but PERSONALLY I got Tha Carter III by Weezy. Sorry not sorry! Rapping wise Lil Wayne bodies that shit.
do more of these verses album videos this is hilarious
Let’s Gooo been waiting for this one
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Man I miss mallory Bros, great video from nfr tho we love u guys
amazing video 💪🏿 regards from dominican republic keep killin it !!!!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Ant can't win this, graduation's just too good of an album. HOWEVER, I do see his arguments and TC3 is an absolute monster too. I respect Ant for still trying to defend TC3 and tbh I actually relistened to it and it completely changed my view on it. Wayne's just goated man
It’s the carter 3 idc, that shaped all of modern rap to this day.
Big facts🤝
Them guys crazy. I love it 😭😭
I'ma have to go for the Carter 3
Missed these videos so much!!! Graduations taking the W for me though
I am with Wayne.
loving the beef. good to see some passionate arguments
Free smoke might be the best series of this channel, we need more🔥🔥
OutKast was doing the electronic synthesizer / rap / soul shit that’s 10 years before Kanye
Carter 3 was basically the theme music my 08 09 senior year of high school at parties and everything. I remember getting really into Kanye around that time too. Graduation wins slightly because it’s more classic with replay value and that’s definitely when I was becoming more aware of Kanye and that album was revolutionary.
TC3 was a better album overall imo but the impact has to go to graduation, and I think Wayne is more impactful in rap in general but graduation still more impactful than TC3 but TC3 is better by a little
I still to this day revisit both these classic albums... bought them both on the release days I'm going with C3 🔥 🔥🔥
I remember when both of these came out I was 7 years old but I definitely remember hearing the teenagers and adults in the hood and riding around playing carter 3 way more than graduation. Both are classics but carter 3 outshines graduation slightly for me💯
This is facts. I was a little annoyed listening to the guy saying that Kanye was rapping better on graduation. I love Kanye but shoot me down, let the beat build, Mr. Carter, don’t get it, and comfortable, all had similar themes that Kanye had on his album but lil Wayne rapped about those topics in a more compelling way.
Made my day🙏
I love this channel😭🤣 this video was amazing
Yo I fw wit this heavy y’all should do these vs more 💪🏾
I usually disagree with Lou on these debates but I'm with him on this one
facts
Both incredible albums, I don’t think a single song off either album are bad and the beats on each song are hard af from both, impossible to pick a favourite
Lu is such a lame and his arguments make me laugh 😭😭
They got so heated in this debate I love it ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Both are some of my favorite albums ever. If it came down to it I would choose Graduation but Tha Carter 3 is phenomenal. Hopefully one day we will be blessed with a Kanye and Lil Wayne collab project.
I’m sorry but Carter 3 for me all day every day. Fuck my bias ass take 😂😂
Love these vids!
I feel like they’re both overlooking ‘tie my hands’, underrated af
LETS GO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Like the vid, but nobody tops a album verses series like the Mallory Bros
NFR BACK WITH ANOTHERRRR BANGERRR
This was hilarious 😂 but I love both albums I don't which one is better
Both of these albums got me into hip-hop, but I'm going with Graduation.
The carter 3 is a really good album but Graduation is a whole other dimension. One of the best rap albums of all time.
Great video, illmatic vs reasonable doubt or get rich vs the documentary?
Aaarh, this vid reminds me of my childhood when my dad came home from work. Good times
VERY hard to pick but Tha Carter III in my opinion
MBDTF imo
@@bailey3276 Kanye’s Ghostwriters in my opinion!
I fucking love you guys lol. We need this energy more 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks Jaeed🤝
@@NFRPodcast listening to both albums now and I was all for TC3 buttttt man the Graduation got me in my feels right now lol
I’m only 3 mins into this video and It’s getting heated, I love it😭
Lu has been cooking Ant for the past few videos now
prefer graduation over cartier 3
graduation feels more futuristic and ye production was from another world
IVE. BEEN. WAITIN. ON. THIS. MY. WHOLE. LIFE! (LIFE LIFE LIFE)
This is a follow up to when their debate of Ye vs Weezy in the brackets
😏
Graduation is just timeless
soundscape is unmatched
replay value is ridiculous
Lollipop was the most innovative record in Wayne career. He went from a rapper, to full on pop over night. Same with a record like Phone home. He introduced a new side of himself. Also tie my hands was possibly the most introspective mainstream album of that decade. I can agree graduation was more put together. But that doesn’t make it better especially when comparing it to a album with 5 hits not including Lollipop.
The Kanye Stan needs to stop taking the argument personally. He sounds like he’s about to cry whenever the other guy makes good points.
Also forgot to mention lil Wayne’s original Carter 3 was leaked….. and how good it was lmao so he had to re create the whole album
If you putt on this We cry together beat it would work so well
Let Ant talk bro damn 😂 always cutting him off mid sentence
Graduation is what hip hop does best at its best, which is getting you motivated and hyped.
I was 14 when Graduation dropped and 15 when Carter 3 dropped 🤧
I was 16 when graduation dropped 17 when c3 dropped both classics
Gotta side with my man Lu but to each their own, great albums
One thing that could be fun to add is taking the top 5-10 songs of each and going head to head in some way
Bro u can hear c3 Wayne in most hip hop rappers nowadays in uzi,thug,baby and others
Definitely taking Carter 3. Just off the basics off remembering how huge the release was. It was the biggest album release through my school career. And it’s not close
Heated like a housewarming on this one
More Free Smoke les goooo 🔥🔥🔥
Two of my most iconic albums as a preteen. At the time I would’ve picked Carter 3, but Graduation is now my favorite Kanye album and I listen to it way more now than Carter 3. It’s a hairs length apart choosing either one.
