Lil Wayne Fans Are Rewriting History

[H. Selassie]

I think the revisionist history is the idea that Wayne was always some superstar. I actually made a thread about how shocking his run was in 2008 when you look at his career prior. If you told people the summer of 2003 Wayne 5 years from now was gonna be the biggest rapper in the game they would laugh at you.

This.

Lil Wayne’s commercial viability/sales volume was actually decreasing with each album from the Block is Hot to 500 Degreez. And he never reputation as a “spitter” prior to the Sqad Up mixtapes.

I would say take his dikk from his lips but I think you’ll enjoy it

I’m just stating that Wayne said while you’re dismissing her and now changing your tone

Shut ya old broke ass up

DMX

X is one. I went to the Ruff Ryders/ Cash Money concert in 2000 (I was 13) and I wasn't checking for Wayne like that. He got love from ppl my age but we were influenced by older rappers.

Shut ya old broke ass up

Money longer than everyone in your country Abu

Wrong person.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Wrong person.

Nope it’s still longer

Wayne broke through cultural boundaries. I was never a fan of Wayne but hes definitely is not overrated.

His fan base fell off but he never did.

So what are y'all even talking about right now? Wayne was always thought of as good there is no re-envisioning or rewriting of history It's not like he was trash before 06. he just blew up after the carters.

These oldheads make this thread once a year. They’re just miserable.

He didn’t take his spot.

Baby was finessing them dudes and Wayne was the only one left there. Literally people act like the BG diss never happened, like
juvie never disse him.

Juvie sued them in 01 and left. BG was in rehab and left in 01 cause baby was helping with his addiction.

Juvie said this “
"I'm going to be honest with you. My dogs ain't getting treated right," he continued later. "Turk's not getting treated right. B.G.'s not getting treated right. Wayne, on the other hand, I don't know his situation 'cause Wayne is always over there and Wayne listen to 'em like they his father. Where if you get a little deeper into Turk and B.G., they beckoning for me. When Baby ain't around they like, 'Dog, take me with you. Sign me. Do what you can do.' And it hurt me to have a team like the Lakers break up. I worked hard. [Baby and Slim] didn't do the hard work. Us five, we did all the work and [Baby and Slim] got everything. This ain't a family. How's this family?" [It's worth noting at this point that a rep for Turk and B.G. disputed Juvenile's account when reached for comment at the time.]

Once again y’all proving OP right

Wayne was the only one left.

Y’all saying he was featured outside CMR are bullshytting


Before the Carter 1 push he wasn’t featured on any other artists singles outside of CMR. The destiny child’s soldier. He was featured on FIVE other albums outside CMR before that

Stop it

and juve went right back in 2003 shut the fukk up

 

[BEN23]

Man wanye wasnt taken serious until the carter....juve was the man and made cash money....
cash money was pretty much dead a till wayne came with carter 1.
nikkas make up they own history on here everyday.....

 

[Chip Skylark]

and juve went right back in 2003 shut the fukk up

Take Wayne dikk off your lips and get off your knees

shyt ain’t got nothing to do with me lol

 

[JustCKing]

i tried to ignore the thread but its getting to me

Wayne always been dope....he wasnt the star of CMR but he wasnt a scrub like yall acting

Block Is Hot had a better first week and outsold Chopper City In The Ghetto. THATS FACT...So fukk all that, Wayne was in the background shyt. HE WAS ON EVERY MAJOR CMR SINGLE

AND WAYNE WAS FEATURED OUTSIDE OF CMR

anybody that actually listened and payed attention to Wayne know his real progression was Lights Out era

CMR had a whole campaign saying "year 2000 is all about Wayne" cause they knew he was gone be that nikka

he stumbled on 500 Degreez...album was ass

but by Carter 1 he got it back....Carter 2 he became a factor..Carter 3 he was outta there

no he wasnt a superstar before that....but he was dope and progressing...nikkas act like he was wobbledy wobbledy...lets me know you never heard a song from Hot Boys era...im not posting shyt cause nikkas aint listening, lets be reality

but facts are facts...and facts is he did 200k first week on his debut and went PLAT

fact is he was on the hook to Bling Bling and its in the damn dictionary

HE BEEN DOPE...you nikkas caught on late

Wayne wasn't on every major CMR single. "Ha" didn't feature Wayne. "Get Your Roll On" didn't feature Wayne. "Cash Money Is An Army" doesn't feature Wayne.

Wayne was the youngest member. It would've been on him to continue the legacy. It was only natural. The revision is people saying they always knew pre- 2005-2007 Wayne would be the biggest rapper in the game.

Nobody's saying he was wack, but he wasn't a rapper that people were comparing with greats back then either.

I was there as well. I remember the shyt clearly.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Decent. Bro was decent, but he had some swag to him and he had lil quips here and there

He "had a career" since 95. Bro wasn't that nice

Nah. nikkas actually thought Turk was the best and wanted his album to come out SOOO BADD lol. And when his shyt finally dropped so did any of his buzz

Nah, not really. Those were like "Sqad Tapes" tier.

Nah. Wayne had already set shyt on fire w/ C1, and C2 w/ the subsequent features had him on top by 07. Lida was on the decline ever since after Red Light District, it was the same song and dance. He cut his shyt losing all his powers and gave us Release Therapy in 06.

No it don't breh. Keep it a bean. The Squad tapes only showed us his growth as it was happening. He didn't even have the "east coast rapping" label yet. I personally feel he held back a little cuz he knew he was gonna have us going crazy w/C1.

....and another thing...we don't talk down on Manny Fresh round these parts.. especially his production

Wayne “set shyt on fire” with C1 but Luda was still bigger in 2004. We compare the first week sales and singles performance from Red Light and C1 if you like
