its perception. wayne is still seen as someone who hangs around with the youtes. from his antics, you know, codeine, skating, and his appearance, all the way down to his raps.
You can hear the Wayne influence in a lot of Kendricks work. Especially early stuff.Kendrick and j Coles favorite rappers are HOV and nas
You guys saying the younger generation gives Wayne his props and looks at him like a legend are mistaken, Wayne can't even sell out a small venue. It's like he's caught in a twighlight zone between both generations, and even though he influenced a lot of rappers it seems both the younger and older generation look at him as a joke.
If HOV and nas put out a commercial today that they have an album dropping next week HIP HOP would pause and that's would be the talk of town ( see MCHG) if Wayne did the samething no one would care older or younger
Jay and Nas don't drop mixtapes, also both of them have undeniable classics... Wayne doesn't have that Ilmatic or Blueprint in his catalog.
The new generation gives Wayne his props. Prolly the most out of all the older statesmen.
Only reason why the 30 and up crowd give Wayne a hard time is cause he is from the south, and his style of rap was very unorthodox at the time.
I say it all the time, if Wayne was from Brooklyn or something, just off his career alone, you motherfukkas would have him over BIGGIE n all these other East Coast legends like Slick Rick, Krs, etc.
His music wasn't awful until after the Carter 4. No Ceilings is a classicBecause he's the same artist who released..
