Breh being on the credits mean nothing in 2017, you can be in the same room & be credited on a album.
Does Lil Wayne Use Ghostwriters? If So... How Can That Be Possible?

If you really know your Wayne history he became a punchline rapper from C1, not around the C3. And his real decline began around D4 mixtape, not the C3 (yeah he has a couple bad songs on it.).
There was a time where he had great stories, interesting concepts, real themes in bars and not endless non-seqitur bullshyt. Wayne has to be the least creative in tropes however, every rapper has them but god damn, they're incantations at his point.
Maybe that's his way of practiting that New Orleans voodoo?

Not true at all that's a myth. You have to contribute to the song to get credit or at least be able to leverage your fame & finances in order to get credit for something you didn't do

Those aren't even in his prime, like really?nikka has 100's of songs and those 2 only standout?
Ain't judging just saying damn, doesn't seem you like him at all.

On C1 he wasn't relying on punchlines at all. Dude was really rapping to tell a story and get his point across. C1 is my favorite wayne project of all and that's including his mixtapes and is what I consider his best work.
Every few months I go back and listen to his discography and everything drought 3 til now has been punchline heavy and I realize how subpar a lot of it was but I was young and wayne was hot so I didn't notice it.

Then what was the C4? Not overhyped bullshyt? Yeah C3 has some awful shyt "Lollipop", "Mrs. Officer" and "p*ssy Monster", but he still rapped his ass off on most of it. Admittedly, C2 is my favorite, but he doesn't have a song this creative on either one of that or the C1.

The Carter II is my personal favorite. Tunechi spittin them New York esque rhymes with a southern flair
And the combo of him paired with TMix and Batman was dope as f*ck, the live instrumentation
Plus the video for Hustler Musik single handedly made A Bathing Ape the most sought after streetwear brand in the world

C1 mostly had stories, C2 had stories and bars, C3 had both and memorable songwriting, way more concepts than C1 (again excluding those cringe hit songs).
He was barely creative on the C1, figuring out his style. C4 was so half-assed, still had some good Rap songs though.

Dr. Carter is dope as well as Mr. Carter and Dontgetit (Misunderstood) but the album for the most part was underwhelming especially when you consider the year prior he had the whole world bumping Da Drought 3 like it was a retail album and was rapping circles, squares and triangles around everyone in the rap game on it. He scaled back the lyricism big time on Tha Carter III.

Man "Fly In" is so epic..... Didn't occur to me how part of his style was NY-influenced until I began analyzing Rap styles as a fan and music theorist.
I specifically hear Cam (Crass and slapstick humor), Jay (Never ending flow changes) and some Ghostface (Wayne constantly using that stream-of-consciousness style of lyrical expression, mostly for bars.)

Yeah, I guess that was his "Blueprint" so to speak, makes sense. And he was competing with Hov and Kanye at the time too in Mainstream markets.

this explains why these albums are trash
C1 didn't have bars?! Memorable concepts. Go back and listen to Birdman Jr, This the Carter, and I miss my dawgs. The entire cd was a concept. Wayne was SPITTING from beginning to end on C1. Even the singles was fire.
"Got a bytch in the back got a hoe in the front/One cooking the crack one rolling the blunt" "I'm a motherfukkin cash money millionaire" and he was styling and swagging the entire song. Killing it.
Wayne was on 1 on that album.
