The popularity of The Carta III does not prove that Lil Wayne is "the best rapper alive" or even a good rapper. It only proves that he succesfully sells himself to the moneyed suburban masses. In terms of better rappers or rap groups who are alive right now, here is a short list:
Aceyalone, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Jedi Mind Tricks, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, rest of the native tongues posse, El Da Sensei/Tame One (Artifacts), AZ, Big Daddy Kane, Common, Nas, Jay-Z, Company Flow, etc.
