I finally listened to IANAHB 2 in full lastnight and it occured to me that hip hop has just turned their back on Wayne at this point...Rap journalism, fans and the media are just tired of him..
He's spittin on the same level he was on Carter 3 when everyone was slobbin his knob...But now it's all "Wayne fell off, raps about the same thing and only uses punchlines"
But during C3 nobody cared that he had already disgressed from his C2/Dedication 2 level of spittin.. They were happy to ride the wave at the time...
Dude is still rapping 10x better than Future, French and 2 Chainz and has a huge presence on the radio and clubs.. His tours make millions and he's an advertising darling.. I don't even fukk with post 2008 Weezy like that, but the audacity of MTV to leave him off the Top 10 emcees list and pretend that he's "just now" not that great anymore..
Fickle as hell...
