Dude been a solo artist since 2003, it's 2016 which it's been a 13 year career so far. Not a 'flash in the pan' by any means like cats say he is. 'Go DJ' was 13 years ago, that's a significant stretch worthy of being labeled a legend, like it or not.

From 2007-2010 this guy was on everything too. Only toned down once Drake took the torch, but even at that point didn't fall off. I'd say his run was as good as any.

That said, I still think dude has earned respect and fandom enough to drop something in 5 years and get people interested again. Wayne is just as established as Jay is.
Agreed

He's too established to fall off

shyt....Drake and Wayne the only rappers with super bowl commercials this year lol

It always felt like he was about to go in with some classic poignant shyt, but he just stayed making the same meaningless punchline tracks. Like a plane barrelling down the runway that refused to take off. What a waste of fukking talent.
You read my mind! This is exactly how I felt about Wayne by the Carter 4 era, like when's he gonna say something of substance and impact? I remember watching the first 30 seconds of this video and saying to my friend "This is Wayne's chance to say something real"


And then the beat drops and he's just speaking a bunch of bullshyt:snoop:

If Wayne would have went a Pac-like route it would have cemented him as a real legend. Too bad :to:

Were all active during Wayne's reign..his competition was 100x what Drake is dealing with. He's outshined or held his own against the likes of Jada, Kast and Nas. Not to mention taking Jays instrumentals and making them his own.

Prime Weezy is a much better rapper than Cole Kendrick and anybody else in this weak ass era. His fall off has been horrible but from 04-08 this guy was in the top 3 discussion..the hate is disgusting.

the generation that loved Wayne grew up.
Once you get in your mid 20's youre not out there looking for new music like that.
The music industry is about capturing the preteen to early 20's demo.

Thats it!
it happens to every artist
Not sure why yall get so surprised by this when it happens.
