Tha Carter III is regarded by many as Lil Wayne's best project. But is it a hip hop classic? Does it hold the test of time? Is it even Weezy's best project?

Queens rapper, Consequence, recently was on Drink Champs and brought up the topic of songwriting. There is an art to writing records, but does collabing with other writers discredit an MC? Many of today's top hits credit a long list of writers. In the early hip hop days, the ability to write your own songs was not only key to becoming a successful artist, but it was also like an unwritten rule. But should that be the case today?
