Wayne officially lost the top spot to Drake in 2012.

Drake took over after he dropped Take Care.

Weezy was still selling more than anyone in 2011.

C4 wasn't good musically so in my eyes that's when wayne fell off.

And he didn't lose it fast....he signed the 2 biggest artists with drake and nikki.

Wayne was that nikka from 2004 to 2012.

Wayne just got to stop tryna out out a lot of music and release every 2 or 3 and take that Hov backseat approach to music.
Wayne didn't sign them, Baby signed them...
Wayne isn't seeing the proceeds of Drake and Nikki...

Yes he is.

They both are eating off of them.

They signed to YMCMB via CM.

Wayne is suing for other reasons. Not because he doesn't get paid off nicki and drake.

Not a Wayne fan at all...

But dont dudes remember he was having seizures all the time and said he was going to retire? Then the label was like uhhh no you aint and he put out more material? He 'retired' long ago... he still putting stuff out so it can sell he just isnt really trying. The same way Jay-Z really retired as far as giving a fukk in like 2005 but still puts out an album every once in a while...

he got the crown under false pretenses. no competition and once the competition returned nikkas saw shyt for what it was. content stands the test of time and he never had any. and if staccs was more active he never would have been on the throne in the first place

It's all waynes fault when his legacy wasn't tarnished he said "i'm retiring from
Rap and im going to skateboard" then this dude keeps putting out music till everyone sick of hearing him is like :patrice:
"Ok wayne we just gonna blackball you then if you can't stay put"


Why didnt you just stop rapping like you said you would. Cash out and chill. Unless contractually speaking you were obligated to fulfill more projects with birdman/endorsements still

Wayne was that nikka from 07 until late 11 when Take Care dropped. That's a very good run and his output was prolific and his influence large as well so no Wayne didn't lose his spot fast at all.
