If he leans heavily on ‘Tha Carter II’ and ‘Tha Carter III,’ then I’m game.

Lil Wayne is taking his legacy on the road with the “20+ Years of Carter Classics” North America Tour. Running from June 30 to October 23, the tour kicks off in Bangor, Maine, before concluding in Knoxville, Tennessee. The routing stands out for its focus on smaller markets, offering a rare opportunity for fans outside major cities to experience a headlining performance from one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.

Wayne’s greatness has long been defined by his technical skill and originality. His dense wordplay, unpredictable rhyme schemes, melodic instincts, and ability to switch flows effortlessly have set him apart. Add his cultural impact and consistency, and it becomes clear why his name frequently comes up in conversations about the greatest rappers of all time.

Central to that legacy is the Tha Carter series, which spans from the original Tha Carter to Tha Carter VI. The albums not only showcase his evolution but also house some of his most iconic records, including “Lollipop,” “A Milli,” “How to Love,” and “6 Foot 7 Foot.” With over 10 million copies sold collectively (It’s probably closer to 20 million), the series represents a cornerstone of 2000s and 2010s hip-hop.

With 2 Chainz and The Game joining him on select dates, the tour adds even more OG star power. At this point, the only real question is whether there’s enough time in one night to fit all the classics.
