It's Underestimated how much Wayne Influenced Rappers

[Scoop]

How you forget carter 1?
No ceilings?

Dedication 1 dropped before carter 2
Plus we got the suffix and the like father like son album (and mixtape)

And you forgot C3 sessions....smh.

Wayne was the GOAT from 2004 to 2011 .... C4 was his official decline

Cater 1 and No Ceilings were "good not great." Like I can see what you're saying how they were notable releases but they weren't what made Wayne a legend.

I only looked at release month and year and Dedication and Carter 2 dropped the same month.

That collab album with Birdman was really just a cash grab. Not really notable at all except it's sales and a few singles.

I should've put C3 sessions in instead of The Leak I guess.

Look at Wayne in this video. Tell me ASAP Rocky, Future, Thug, and virtually every rapper in the game today didn't bite his swag and style heavily. Hip hop today is a game full of Lil Wayne's children.The lean, the tattoos, the way he dresses, everything '08 Wayne is rappers today. Dig up any Kendrick Lamar song before 2012 where dude flows exactly like Wayne.

Wayne had a melody to his flow on a lot of songs to where it was like he was rapping and singing at the same time, which is a lot of what we hear today. Plus he was a guy who would play with words a lot and pronounce them differently to make them sound different. Difference is, in his day Wayne was able to spit some pretty phenomenal lyrics. Sure everyone thought he was borderline retarded because he would slur his words when he was leaned out, but the guy is actually pretty intelligent and spit some of the most clever bars in hip hop.

Hate on the guy all you want but I'd argue he had the biggest impact on the way people rap since Rakim

Purely off skills Wayne is probably one of the best 2-3 rappers the planet has ever seen. If you're talking freestyles it's either him or Em at #1.

I swear brehs on here are on that delusional shyt

How fukking old are you? How much hip hop have you listened to in order to say this shyt??!

I said I was done with hip hop talk on this forum...I don't even know why I opened this thread

Wayne is a more skilled rapper then most rappers from the so called "golden era." Sorry if that hurts your nostalgia

And BTW the three rappers you named are some of the artists most heavily influenced by Wayne ever. And they admit it. You lost if you think that didn't prove even more so Wayne's influence.

But that's the point about being a disposable rapper: there's always someone new who can do what you do and be just as disposable.

I'm telling you what a former Wayne stan now Drake/Thugga stan told me. He said straight up that he doesn't care for Wayne anymore. I know a girl who used to fukk with Wayne heavy in high school and didn't even remember he did A Milli until I played the song

ASAP had the shortest run ever and his fanbase already moved on

Rocky had one hit and that's only cause he had the most popular rappers at the time on that shyt -- drake, kdot, 2 chainz

thanks for the deflection. It makes me know what I said was accurate

That demolition freestyle is future's whole style as a blueprint

Eh.

I could go back and forth with this but really there is no point. If you guys really think Wayne is too 3 rappers ever then I'll let you breath.

No point in arguing with delusional people

 

[OG Talk]

Wayne and Gucci are really what the media claim that Kanye is when it comes to generational influence..

 

[MufasaChoppa]

For people who were in middle school/high school/college from 2005-2009, it's going to be an event for those people when Wayne passes. I'm not sure we've ever seen a 5 years span so dominant.

its gonna be like when mike died

even when he had his seizure it was too much for me

 

[Tunez]

Ya have to be trolling

 

[DrexlersFade]

forreal there's a whole certain way of rapping that basically everyone does now that Wayne really started. don't know how to explain what it is, someone who knows what i'm talking about chime in.

but i don't think there's arapper who came out in last 5 years who wasn't influenced by what Wayne did.

his flow, similies etc. there was a different way people freestyled before Wayne in 08

If you don't know why would you make the thread Wayne ain't inspired shyt and this thread....last 5 years really

Who the fukk freestyles anymore let me get some of that you token on leave the Pcp out though

Man. C1 had the hood on fire.
Go DJ was Wayne's first big hit on billboard.
BMJR had the hoods heart.

Then sunning like my daddy also started Wayne's billboard run.

No ceilings was amazing. nikkas had thought wayne fell off and was a drug FYI autotune rapper but no ceilings dropped and everyone and their mom was bumping that shyt......swag surfing freestyle, wasted

I don't think you nikkas lived thru it. I've seen Wayne's run from beginning to end.

nikkas didn't stop fukking with wayne until AFTER C4 dominated.

I can't with yall. Lol.

I know rap fans who were in middle school high school those years, were massive Wayne fans and don't give a fukk about Wayne's entire discography now. And it's not like they become backpackers. They're on that Drake/Future/Young Thug movement.

trust me when I say that Wayne is already becoming irrelevant

Why he just give Wayne credit for being the one to inspire a growth in the writing of punchlines though? Dudes from NY had been doing that.

Wayne just had people, including me wearing bape that's it

 

[jaguar paw]

You probably should add Detail and T-Pain in that blender as well.

 

[Professor Polo]

"Drake, Young Thug, and Future are descendants of Wayne."

Like that's something to be proud of.
