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

[BlackMajik]

nikkas used to come for my head when I told them T.I. would be remembered as the better rapper when it was all said and done. Now it's 2024 and it's pretty much universally agreed upon that T.I. was the better rapper. Rap would of been in a much different position if T.I. didn't go to prison and he got to birth the next generation and not Wayne.

This needs to be repeated!!!

Drought era stuff is all still amazing though.

Yea we're gonna have to have that convo about Tip being a better rapper/artist than Wayne pretty soon

Wayne was literally the definition of Flash over Substance

I been saying this shyt on here. He was better rapper and artist than Ludacris too. That beef got nikkas confused. https://www.thecoli.com/threads/if-...ere-with-wayne-in-terms-of-popularity.969935/ https://www.thecoli.com/threads/t-i-was-always-a-better-writer-than-luda.948620/

Can’t speak for nowhere else but Wayne had a chokehold on pg county and dc unlike any other rapper I ever seen from like drought 2 to Carter III so I’m not gonna say the music was ass

But now as an adult I understand that he say a lot of nothing in the coolest way possible.

It was dope when I was a teenager but don’t mean much today as an adult. Would love for him to show growth but the ship has sailed.

He benefited from hip hop being in the toilet right as his career peaked. Learned all the wrong lessons from the rappers he idolized, and all the rappers he fathered learned all the wrong lessons from him

It's why mainstream hip hop is dead, you got 3-4 dudes around 40 years old who been on top for around 15 years and nobody waiting in the wings to take over. All the little autotune clones careers already came and went.

idk I feel 2 diff ways about this


1 side is ive alway felt he was overrated and in real time his run was way overblown people calling him the goat it was insane


the other side tho is wayne can really rap and really spit and thats appriciated. spec today

This is the down fall of being a punchline rapper with no real substance

I actully think wayne had more substance than a lot of those who came after tho, he had a lot of serious music it was just mixed in with so much other shyt

TI way better than that nikka

 

[BK The Great]

All he raps about is being the p*ssy monster, being an alien and other retarded shyt. Dudes brain is fried from all that lean.

 

[maxamusa]

Waynes shyt was popping in the mixtape era; listening to his shyt now makes me feel immature AF

 

[King Sun]

TI way better than that nikka
