I ain't gon lie alot of Wayne's shyt aged horribly

[DaHNIC82]

I always appreciate Lil Wayne over the years for the cream of the crop releases he would give, but outside of that it gets SCARY.

I always wondered when people were putting him in a top 5 position, were they considering his catalogue as a whole or just a summary of its best parts?

I always felt he had the range to enter greatness, but the consistency lacked.

That marketing machine... Same way Puffy had people believing Biggie was the greatest from 97-2000

 

[King Sun]

Is it just me but I thought wayne was that dude after his first album and it seemed like he was on the decline to me for years even in the carter era. I feel like the drugs really did fukk wayne over for being a GOAT

 

[Ineedmoney504]

I think it hurts him that his best stuff came from mixtapes.

But those peaks are some of the highest peaks Hip hop has ever seen. if not the absolute peaks of the genre.

 

[Finesse]

Thug
Future
Trav
Uzi
Carti
Juice


All birthed off one freestyle ,All multi platnium superstar rappers. And there is so much more I can name.

 

[Reptile]

I'm sure a lot of people silently had this realization when they actually tested out that magical Superbowl setlist Wayne was supposed to have for Superbowl 2025 I ain't tryna hear that shyt there no matter how much I rock wit him

Thats your fault for liking that assy nikka in the first place

 

[Rn.]

That's you nikka.

Dedication 2, The Prefix, The Suffix, No Ceilings, Carter 1 and II and a bunch of other shyt stay in rotation

cant forget those droughts and some of the dedications. thecoli.com is the only place I ever seen get revisionist with wayne like this. Top 5 OAT to me personally

But those peaks are some of the highest peaks Hip hop has ever seen. if not the absolute peaks of the genre.

There's a reason why most of the most successful rappers of the past decade are all offspring of his style.

These two statements have nothing to do with each other. Lil Wayne is a bytch.

 

[UnQuantized]

Felt like that in the moment and I was a kid during his peak

 

[Rn.]

The way he rap now wasn't how he was rapping then. He tapped into some wordplay that he just didn't have early in his career. Being around drake.

are you high

 

[DaSk8D00D]

He put out so much music over the course of his career that you could easily pick out 50 dope, amazing songs and another 50 of the worst shyt you ever heard. There's definitely a lot of filler you could remove from his catalog

That being said peak Wayne (Mixtape era just before C3) is an all-time S-Tier rapper tho

 

[Ku$h Parker]

04-09,Album & Mixtape Wise Jeezy & TI>>>Wayne

Peak wayne was an A-Tier rapper at best

[Reptile]
