Lil' Wayne Is One Of Those Rappers Where It Takes You Getn Older To Realize How Wack He Is

[jwonder]

He's always been wack. It's just the quality of rap is so bad people accepted anything.

aint no rewriting history over here my lil wayne slander been consitent throughout coli history and I had every cash money album up to 01...I been old lolol

 

[Drip Bayless]

How could you compare Dr. Carter to I Gave You Power?

And Yes, if you were a hip hop head 12-13years ago, you probably like either the carter 1/2 and dedication 2 then thought wtf is this bullshyt for everything after that.

Two songs using metaphors as the whole concept of the song. What's wrong with comparing them?
And I don't like tha Carter 1 because Mannie Fresh beats age like milk. Carter 2 and dedication 1 and 2 are great tho.

 

[Carlton Banks]

It took me a looooong time to get into lil wayne cuz everyone was so hyped about him. I can't deny that he has some dope shyt like No Ceilings, Drought 3, Dedication 2 and Carter II... but was he ever my top 5 or top 10? Nah. I personally thought Carter 3 was shyt, but in '08 everyone thought it was the greatest thing since Get Rich Or Die Tryin' ... I just couldn't understand that

 

[ridedolo]

Waynes content is deplorable and straight genocide music, but to front on his skills/wit is disingenuous

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

I don't know what Gillie wrote or didn't but C1 & C2 are classics. Lowkey EVERYTHING ELSE is damn near wack afterwards. Once he lost his NOLA style it went to dirt. I'll always applaud his word play but it was just vulgar and filthy and didn't male any sense

 

[mag357]

This. I said he was trash back in 05

I thought I was the only 1... Hes had some good verses, and good songs at times. but for the most part them bars only seemed to be hot to nikkaz from the south who never listened to nikkaz really spittin bars. i used to be like

I haven't been a fan of Wayne since before he technically became "good".

I loved the HB's, I loved TBIH...then all of a sudden (Gillie) he started biting Jay Z and becomes this lyrical east coast darling...I got off the train right around C2.

Not to say he hasn't had good verses or songs since then but I just don't think it was a natural progression from shyt like this:



Like if Juvie all of a sudden started trying to rap like Nas I'd be like...

Maybe I'm just being too nostalgic but whatever....I still don't appreciate that bytch ass nikka throwing drinks at him at the concert. Disrespectful little fukk, you bought the ticket, enjoy the fukking show or leave, don't muck it up for everybody. They should have turned his punk ass upside down and emptied his pockets.

Dudes on here really kicking knowledge. Wayne didnt have a natural progression. And it showed because of what he sounded like early in his career. He went from regular non lyrical south dude, to kind of decent NY/Jersey/philly punchline rapper. But even then his punchlines and flow was lacking because he sounded like an east coast nikka using old flows and punchlines that other east coast rappers already used or would never use cause they were too simplistic.
I told people this day would come for Wayne, because if you dont have a natural progression as an artist, and you intentionally or unintentionally bite styles and flows you will not be able to keep up with the progression of the people ur biting off of. You're gonna be left behind.

The culture of hip hop drastically began to decline when lil wayne became the face of it

 

[JYoung24]

The Booth never fails. Now everybody is trying to say they were on board the Wayne hate train first.

"I thought he was trash back in 2011."

"Nah fam, I was telling nikkas on the block dude was garbage back in 2008."

"Son, dude been garbage since 1999, wobble dee wobble dee."

"nikka, I was in the hospital cleaning the toilets when Wayne was born and he came out the womb garbage and told his mother that."

"Me, Malcom and Martin had a discussion on how wack that nikka was in 1963. "

That's how some nikkas always felt aint nobody rewriting history

 

[Rekkapryde]

The overdoing on the punchline shyt was the last straw for me.

But I never looked at Wayne as some great rapper either so

He was "aite" as he got older, but not this special nikka some were making him out to be.

 

[Pazzy]

I heard that new DJ Khaled joint again today and Wayne is just.....awful


He's almost like a caricature. A joke. Its almost like he can get away with anything just because he's "Lil' Wayne".

Whatever he says, the masses are gonna , specifically the young masses who see themselves in Lil' Wayne.

Ya see, Lil' Wayne is a man-child. This is why he'll never be respected and seen in the same light as a Jay and Nas. He doesn't have a manly vibe/energy about him at all. Everything about Lil Wayne screams "little boy". At 30+ he's still acting like a little kid:

This shyt appealed to us when we were younger but now those of us that grew up with Wayne are now in our 30s and we see through the BS.

Personally, I was never really into Wayne, but even the most die-hard Wayne fans I know are pretty much when it comes to Wayne now that we're older.

never took him seriously especially when Gillie exposed him.

 

[Pazzy]

That's how some nikkas always felt aint nobody rewriting history

Exactly.

"I'm so muddafukkin high, I could eat a star"

Dudes on here really kicking knowledge. Wayne didnt have a natural progression.

I try fam.



And like I said...I ain't been a fan of Wayne in a long time but I still love that nikka on the strenght of Hip Hop (not rap music)...If I had been at that concert where dude threw the cup I would have shined that nikkas head. I just know wtf I'm talmbout...Wayne's progression was inorganic as fukk, and so were lot of the people that all of a sudden championed him and started mentioning him with the likes of Pac.

But it's ok....I love this shyt, critique Wayne if you got the chops, but don't disrespect Hip Hop or the art of rap by buying a fukking ticket to a show just to fukk it up for everybody. shyt raised my blood pressure.

Yeah breh they were all trash. Something hard to believe about that?

Just trying to figure out why he singling out Wayne.

 

[Murkman]

He really is a martian and out of this world because his career is just like that.

The fact that when he dies he will be crowned the GOAT of the millennial generation says alot about the trash rappers my peers had in the 2000s. He is a singles rapper and none of his albums are on a high level at all. Dudes know this that is why every Wayne fan loves to bring up those Drought Mixtapes to justify how ill he is. Cause they know he is wack overall.

Look at this fool above me that just compared a song like Dr Carter" to I Gave You Power by Nasir Jones...you see this nonsense?

Yeah like personifying a gun is somehow more creative than conceptualizing Hip-Hop as a dying patient that needs to be saved due to a number of issues.

You would've thought Nas is the type of rapper to ironically do a song like that, logically since he wrote "Hip-Hop Is Dead". Can't believe of all the stupid shyt I read in here, Nas stans like you are the only ones who act like he has a monopoly on Rap songs with concepts.

Nas has way more actually creative songs than that, not to mention Organized Konfusion executed that way better 2 years before he did, besides doing it first.


Also, him being a "singles rapper" is retarded considering a huge part of his career wasn't even as popular as others excluding the C3. He was just as a creative as an emcee in his prime, like the others he was competing with.
But of course, once again you nikkas just focus on hit songs and not entire albums.
New Orleans wasn't as dikkrided as other Southern cities, until Birdman became a household name with CMB.

Southern Rap at the time lacked in being lyrically inclined in Braggadocious Rap (still does even more today), him and Luda upped the ante since then as previous rappers didn't bother trying to up their bars (Outkast were better as storytellers anyways) and usage of literary devices.

Other than Outkast, Luda, Scarface, he's the only Southern emcee in that decade who got sharper towards his prime ending, while the others quickly regressed as they began. He's meh in this decade, but to discount what he contributed as a rapper before the Auto-Tune craze, can't be forgotten or taken away from him.

As an example 50 did mixtapes before him, but Wayne revolutionized the method of how to use them to showcase an emcee's versatility to attract different kinds of Rap fans. Without him, Rap would've been one-dimensional as hell, and you wouldn't be seeing so many upcoming rappers constantly grinding.

Also, how is he not considered Hip-Hop, when he's the best rapper that ever made joints with DJ Drama?


@PhonZhi you be always making threads about the wrong rappers who you think "ruined Hip-Hop" when you have hundreds of nikkas who couldn't rap for shyt Hip-Hop dikkrided instead because they have better hits, they were from other cities, or they appeal to cacs like Em.

You nikkas love throwing certain Black rappers under the bus who gave their life to the game, and then you have the audacity to say HE is why this generation fukked up? Mind you, Kanye and T-Pain not only started those trends, but they were way more influential as commercial artists than he ever was - with that singer/rapper bullshyt.

Amazing, he does a mass appeal type of verse on a radio single from a Khaled project, but you're gonna use that for as much negative clickbait as possible to make it seem as if hundreds of rappers (you two also love) never used that formula to branch out.
