i was a huge Jay stan. Still am

nowadays i realize that 05-06 wayne was probably the best rapper alive, he damn near put out 3 albums worth of his best material with Carter 2, Like Father Like Son and Dedication 2.

The song of the same name off of dedication 2 is one of my favorite Wayne songs ever he destroyed the Ground Zero beat

Crazy part is, this is when he was trying to leave Cash Money.

Wayne probably got a raise from his Daddy lol…



Dude was murdering many beats at a time.


I remember when Wayne had leaks coming out every week where the DJs would be keeping his name out there.


Remember when Wayne dissed the DJs and called out Mike Prat and The Empire??
