I always appreciate Lil Wayne over the years for the cream of the crop releases he would give, but outside of that it gets SCARY.

I always wondered when people were putting him in a top 5 position, were they considering his catalogue as a whole or just a summary of its best parts?

I always felt he had the range to enter greatness, but the consistency lacked.

You just maturing and realizing that you need substance in music for it to be timeless
And this is what happens when artists make music for kids and adults who listen to shyt that kids do. Eventually children will get older and say, "I used to listen to that back in the day", but they aint buying shyt or even attending concerts decades later.

marketing and promotion is everything. KRS one was a fool saying he was relying on talent, not marketing and promotion. Marketing and promotion had everyone thinking Jeezy was this great rapper as well around that time.

Disagree.

Carters all aged beautifully.

Droughts and Dedications are still fire.

No Ceilings still fire.

I knew this shyt in real time listening to his music. No substance at all to anything he ever put out. Definition of getting on a track, getting high and just saying whatever comes to your mind. A lot of his fanbase was in denial about this.
