fukk outta here.....you make a thread asking "where was the criticism when C3 dropped?"....multiple posters (not just me) come in here and tell you they didn't like that album either, and you come up with bullshyt reasons to ignore that info so you can continue with your faulty ass logic.

Wayne fell off, exactly when he fell off is semantics.

Fred.

Like there aren't people in my thread who see my point!


Stay classy Fredrick

I never thought Wayne was that special. Yeah he can rap and he ripped a couple tracks back in the day but his raps have always been random senseless babble. It's just now his metaphors are corny, but to me it's always been empty,forgettable music

I can respect you for keeping it 100

Its mad nikkas who are doing a 180 now and his music is still relatively the same as it was 4 years ago

C4>>>>>C3

Thats honestly how I feel. Let the critics tell it though, C3 is his greatest piece of work yet.

His punchlines and metaphors are what they are. The intro, interlude, outro, John, 6'7, She Will, How to Love were just as dope to anything on C3 to me.

I was born in the 70s and IMO at one point for a few years he was nice. The cracks started to show around "C3", which people jocked the hell out of....I was like :wtf:. It's like his promo team brainwashed everyone. That's around the time the GOAT talk started, ironically after he fell off. He's the first rapper in history to get a GOAT nod after he fell off.

Then "C4" dropped and it was terrible. And he's been terrible ever since.

This has probably been said ad nauseum in here but Wayne still showed a little bit of creativity, depth, and diversity to his bars on C3. By C4 era every track was one long punchline verse and it was effectively what people could point to to say "he fell off".

Wayne is one of the rare guys that's changed his style a good 2 or 3 times, and C3 was the culmination of his commercial success but also the end of his major comeup.

What probably happened is he felt like his commercial success came because he started being out there and imaginative, rode with that but now the wheels fell off that wagon and he's too big to care.

Once an imaginative/witty rapper falls out of that "zone" (ala Cam/50) they risk becoming boring caricatures. I can't think of a mixtapes worth of Wayne material since 2009 that could compare to the Dedication 2 or even the Drought 3 which is kind of overrated because of it's highlights
