50 Cent Speaks On People Comparing Lil Wayne’s New Songs To His Older Music
"XL magazine recently interviewed 50 Cent and during the interview, 50 spoke on how even though Lil Wayne is still one of the best rappers in hip-hop today, so many people are just comparing all of his new music to his older songs off his Tha Carter albums.
On your last verse from My Life you say, I havent been this fukking confused since I was a kid. What did you mean by that?
Its being in the position where youre the happiest person in the world, because the general public is deciding to support you as an artist, and its almost a dream sequence for you as an artist. Everythings going your way, right? And youre successful long enough for the artist community to put a shadow of doubt over you. Meaning the guy that wants next, that wants to be the next artist, he wants his turn. So, if you stay in a position where youre winning, he goes, Damn, I wont get a chance to be No. 1 as long as hes around, because hes No. 1. For some reason, they think they gotta get rid of the guy thats No. 1. Its like, you reach a certain point in your careerright now, I believe Wayne is at that point. Hes had so many successful records that I hear people go, Yeah, its cool, but it aint as good as it was when Tha Carter came out. And thats exactly what they did to me with Get Rich or Die Tryin. So it feels like a cycle of things that artists experience.
So you think that kind of feeling is more a reflection of other people than the music itself, whether its you or Wayne or whoever?
Exactly. When you get talent out there and they making good musicI mean, music marks time, so you never really get a second chance. Wayne came in as an artistwhen that Carter record worked, he had been working how long before he got to that point? That wasnt a new artist. He was established, so he was ready for the attention and for the run that he actually got."
I totally agree with what Fiddy is saying here. Too many people (minus the haters because they will always say Waynes music sucks) are saying Weezys latest tracks and features are bad and nothing like the tracks and features he was putting out during 2006 to 2009. If you are one of those people, you need think who else is doing what Weezy did during those years in todays game? No one.
Also, the new music Lil Wayne puts out aint even that bad like most people make it out to be. Weezy has been in this music game a long time and accomplished so much, which is why everyone should be appreciating that he still works hard for us all, and stop complaining or comparing his new music to his older music. In my opinion, Dedication 4 is one of the best projects to be released in 2012, but I still see a lot of people calling it bad just because they dont think its as good as Dedication 2. WTF!
So to the people who keep comparing Tunes music to his earlier music, you need to move on already its nearly 2013!
