In retrospect Wayne was trash

[Fani Willis fan]

prime wayne

 

[Dolo]

Wayne can still outrap all these new nikkas tho

 

[Nobodyknows]

He has the WOAT rap voice. This is the main reason I dislike him as a rapper

 

[TXTrill1]

You talkin bout lollipop wayne or hot boy wayne

 

[Suspicions]

Carter 2, 3, and mixtape catalog 05-09 is fire
top 5DOA

 

[LOOPY]

Which east coast rapper was making shyt like this huh?!??!?







You fukking losers, I admit tune took the aesthetic of dipset for a min. But then he grew on to become his own beast. With absolute no ties to NY rap. You fukking bum ass backpackers have been irrelevant since. Go bump some Joey badass and Troy Ave and suck a dikk


Lame ass New Yorkers always wanna take credit for some shyt

 

[TransJenner]

A image that about 95% of the rap game uses now

 

[SirBiatch]

The way he got washed by Fab, Juelz, Jay, Cassidy etc on damn near every feature but still managed to somehow maintain the best rapper alive image

it's a testament to how trash the game was 06-011 & the souths dominance in that period that he managed to ride the ny mixtape rapper style to superstardom

12 albums and only about 2/3 of them shyts are even listenable now

Mixtape catalog has aged really badly too

Relative to his peak acclaim/hype he's easily the most overrated rapper of all time

but somehow Duckworth, who based a significant part of his rhyme style after Wayne, is genius.

It's always funny watching people realize what was obvious decades ago. By then, the industry has been paid and they're propping up some new mediocrity

Wayne was really dope from 2004-2007, that's it though. He's been trash since 2009 too.

 

[B-Mint94]

I was listening to some of the songs off of Cater 3 a little bit ago and they sounded so dated. No idea why people consider that album a classic.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

fukk outta here, I haven't seen a rapper better than Wayne in his prime. nikkas still tryna catch up to shyt Wayne was doin 10+ years ago

What was he doing that people are still trying to catch up?

 

[Prince Cairo]

The quality of his work varied greatly over the course of his career.

I'd say post C4, there are claims that his shyt was generally trash.

But like a few people have already stated, the C1-C3, Dedication / Drought Wayne was a fukking beast.

This nikka said 06-11 was trash

As if Wayne, Gucci and Ross weren't putting out consistent heat during that period.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

'02-'07 Wayne top 5 rapper prime era rapper

Random wayne freestyle...like say for instance Ambitionz from dedication 2 or Some random sqad freestyle > Kendricks control verse

In retrospect he's colder than originally thought considering his influence and current standards

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Wayne can still outrap all these new nikkas tho

a great achievement

I made an Alchemist produced playlist of all his mid 00's - present day stuff and came across a song he produced on Carter 3 featuring Fab & Juelz. It was one of the most appalling displays of rapping I've heard recently. All 3 were shameful and the beat is even trash.
