How come hiphop doesn look at Wayne as a godfather like it does HOV and NAS

Weezy still got bars now tho fam

 

[SirBiatch]

Just like his successors Em Dot Minaj and 6 Fraud.. ZERO CLASSICS

agreed

Nas and Jay-z were never crossdressing drug addicts riding skateboards and kissing men in the mouth while claiming a gang after they were already millionaires, that's probably why. In short, he's a clown, Nas and Jayz are not.

His behavior doesn't really have to much to do with it, granted neither Nas or Jay did any egregious shyt like wayne did, they both have their fair share of lies on wax, and plenty of lame shyt they've done to go along with it. The only difference is Nas and Jay started making grown man rap eventually. Ion think anyone wants to hear Wayne rap about being a responsible father, I don't think he could really.

If Wayne started making music like this once he turned 30, he would have a lot more fans.

Because many still see him as a newer school artist. His age and peak in his career aides in this. When Hov and Nas start Wayne was what between 8-12 years old. If he is still relevant in entertainment or business in 10 years he will earn that spot.

 

[RandomDudeOnColi]

I think it's because he is from the south honestly.

Wayne is 33 years old and house been mainstream since the 90's

At 33 HOV had dropped the black album and was looked at as elite amongst his peers and already was a legend.

At 33 nas dropped hiphop was dead, he was also hiphop royalty and a legend amongst his peers.


Wayne has had just as much commercial success for about the same amount of time as them, so how come he doesn't he doesn't have that elite, legend, hiphop royalty aura around him like nas and HOV?

I got tree words for you. No classic album

Because he can't rap for shyt and never could. Why the fukk would I give props to someone whose style birthed garbage ass nikkas like Future, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, etc.

Wayne is the best rapper alive. I still never heard nobody rap better than Wayne in his prime, he got 3 classic albums in a row(Carter 1-3),he is the main influence of all of today's legends (Young Thug, Future, Kendrick, Drake), he changed the whole blueprint of the game,and if he decided to lose the auto tune and the whiney crying singing shyt he do now he could make atleast one more classic album that is guaranteed to go atleast 2x platinum.

Now that I think about it

It's kind of disrespectful for you dudes to even try to compare Wayne to Nas and Jay Z because Wayne on a whole nother level from them. Only person that comes close is Pac.

I will never understand the people who say this. We must have different ears or something. Seriously, I can't understand how anybody could say that Wayne was ever a good rapper - whether it's 2016 or 2007. Flow - garbage. Voice - garbage. Rhymes - simple as fukk and garbage. Bodied by every single rapper that he ever did a song with - check. I mean, I just don't get it. Keeping it a buck - Nicki Minaj is by far the best rapper to ever come out of the Young Money camp.

Wayne from the south..you know how that go

we got multiplatinum, landscape changing albums and songs down here that get called "regional" classics

we got rappers and labels with 5 year runs that get the

treatment when brought up in historical context next to labels and rappers from other places with similar and sometimes substantially less success/impact....

/


His day coming tho...He put in so much work mid 2000s, give it time...the next generation will speak on him like one of the heavyweights..they low key do already and the influence is clear as shyt for better or worse



but we also have to account for the fact that HOV especially controlled the narrative to make himself the big homie.. Nas aint as boisterous with it but his influence on the birthplace was going to etch his stone in hip hop regardless...Wayne's influence just wont be as respected cause other nikkas basically took the worst parts of him and made them even worse..so instead of being respected as a nikka that made "The Mobb"...they look at him as "Me and My Drank"


all the trash Hov and Nas dropped is swept under the rug cause their classics are more revered and aggrandized


and wayne's increasing lack of maturity doesnt help..like other brehs have said, he desperately needed a "grown man" era

Cause although people respect his hustle and potential,he made microwave music and is pretty corny.

 

[Still FloW]

wayne aint no boss, slave deal at cash money, whole business flaunted in the media, doped up lean fiend who has no asset to his name smh..

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Good question. Been in the game like 20 years. This niqqa birthed the whole Future/Young Thug/everybody else style with the sing songy auto tune shyt.

I read he has like 200+ features. Add in all the mixtapes and actual albums and there is enough Lil Wayne to play on a radio station for prolly a couple days solid.

And I don't really fukk wit Wayne like that, but I saw what happened.
