Has the mainstream finally turned on Wayne and Kanye? Will they be able to ever get back on top?

Nobody cares about the INAHB series from Wayne, shyts are like mixtapes.

If the Carter 5 does below a milly then you can talk.

Kanye went left field without any urban singles, if he stays traditional on his next one it'll be successful.

As long as there is white suburbia them lames will eat. Kanye just dropped a experimental bullshyt album, he'll bounce back. Wayne has drake, Nicki and those other sperm gulpers on his label, the kids will still luv em. The end.

Carter V will be what determines Wayne's staying power.

With Kanye, his experimentation needs execution. The critics riding with whatever he drops isn't enough anymore. Yes, his music is different, innovative, and experimental, but are the songs any good?
Carter V will be Wayne's last album though. And I agree about Ye.

As long as Wayne has Drake under his wing hes going to always be relevant, kind of like how Jay was dropping struggle songs like "Aint I" then let Rihanna and Kanye carry him back to relevance, if Wayne didnt have Drake he would be 2008-09 50 status going into C5 :wow:

All Kanye needs to do is make an actual good album and stop being an attention whore by setting up fake confrontations with the paparazzi and hes good, but if he continues the way hes been going for the last year its over

He also has another star in Nicki to keep him relevant. She has soared to Drake status as well with an incredibly huge fanbase. I don't really see him going anywhere for a minute though. He's been riding his young money wave for quite some time now.

That was a bit of a miscalculation on her part, yeah lol. But I think it might've helped her carve out her own lane. I haven't really paid any attention to her lately, except that video where she showed her ass in the pool.

Ahh, I should try to follow her a bit closer. There was one song I caught by accident where she I thought she was spittin like I hadn't heard from her before, save for the repeating of the lines but that worked in this instance. 1:46 to 2:20

nicki actually is seeing her star power fade quick she went from 1.7 mill first album to 875k second one. And now shes been quiet musically for a bit. i agree the carter series is waynes big seller but keep in mind the first ianahb sold a mill eventually. this one is way below that.As for kanye white suburbia can turn on you quick and never take you back the same. look at ja rule, nelly, 50

Kayne can if thats really what he wants to do but I honestly don't think he is overly concerned with Mainstream success but not of his albums sound alike and he is always doing something thing different so I think he may cme back around...

Lil Wayne :patrice:

I truly think Lil Wayne is just burnt out, he put out soo much music and we praised him fr his work ethic but now I truly think he has run out of stuff to rap about so now he is just on auto pilot. Truth be told, he still has like 5 sngs he is on that are getting radio play but I don't thin rap fans will ever regard him as higly as the did around the time that the Carter 3 dropped.

Yea she was overdoing it with the award show outfits, crazy wigs, annoying voices, and her music completely sucked so people got tired of her quickly, her second album was considered a disappointment performance wise so she lowkey tried to save face with the re-up and making actual rap music :lolbron:

i aint mad tho shes been spitting like she did when she first came out on the last few records i heard her on:ehh:
