Lil Wayne Fans Are Rewriting History

[Sad Bunny]

All of Luda’s single as in his whole career? You didn’t like stand up

Weren't we talking about Red Light?....but we can compare the whole career too.

Stand Up is a good song.

Every single on Red Light is bad in 2023 IMO.

I loved Saturday as a single though

False

It's actually true.

Ludacris had like two albums that were triple platinum and two others that were double platinum from 2000-2005. Wayne wasn't multi-platinum until Carter 3. Wayne wasn't even double platinum. Platinum was his ceiling.

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.

Wayne wasnt even the biggest artist in cash money, it was
-juve
-bg
then wayne….

Wayne was the second, why y’all keep saying bg?

 

[JustCKing]

Wayne was the second, why y’all keep saying bg?

Because B.G. is the reason CMR got the deal with Universal. B.G. was like the second most sought after member of the group after Juve.

Chop City In The Ghetto put CMR on the map.

Chop City In The Ghetto put CMR on the map.

B.G - 1996 & 1997 It's All on You Vol 1 and Vol 2 was their bread and butter. He put them on the Map for sure. B.G carried CMR like Dame Lillard carries the Blazers.

Wayne always stood out here and always different from traditional Louisiana. He was animated! He made track fun.

Big Tymers dropped Their Debut in 1997 and Wayne shined all over it.

Especially here This is when Louisiana started believing Wayne was special.




The First Hotboy Dropped in 1997. And Wayne held his own. He was outshined the Big dogs at times.



Of course In 1998, Juvenile smashed the game.

Personally, I didn't Wayne could carry a whole album. I thought he was a great group member and feature artist. The Block It Hot made me a believer. Especially these one.

It really depends on the year.

Wayne was a favorite with the real young and the women. B.G was so street, a lot of women wasn't jamming B.G.

I'll have to say Wayne had the most Memorable Verses and Lines on the first Big Tymers and Hotboy albums. B.G made great solo song and albums. But didn't really outshine Wayne or Juvie on the group tracks.

B.G really is more like Scarface. Nothing flashy, all real. Wayne was more Jay-Z. Women don't jam Scarface.

Ludacris had like two albums that were triple platinum and two others that were double platinum from 2000-2005. Wayne wasn't multi-platinum until Carter 3. Wayne wasn't even double platinum. Platinum was his ceiling. Wayne lapped Cris in that '05/'06 window. By the time he and Baby dropped Like Father, Like Son in late '06 he was already bigger than Luda...

When Wayne dropped Tha Carter in Summer '04 Luda was still the bigger artist...

So in the two years between those two albums, as already has been mentioned, Wayne dropped an album (C2) and like four tapes, and with each drop after C1 he was building his reach and exposure. Luda peaked in 2003 with Chicken N'Beer. So while he was still the bigger brand in calendar year 2004, Wayne was beginning his climb while Luda was plateauing...

Dropping C1, D1, C2, D2 in succession showed a consistent improvement in everything about Wayne and by the time D2 dropped he'd reached a level of street popularity that Luda never had...

Also can't forget about UNLV they put in major work too. Drag Em In The River is probably their biggest song before the Universal deal. Uptown 4 Life did numbers underground

i've learned not to fight about people over music opinions, but nikkas saying lil wayne top 10 is

From every metric he' a top 10 rapper, cope

Exactly, Drag Em in the River got them out of Louisiana a little bit. But BG kept that going with 2 back to back Classics. in 96 and 97.

CMR wouldve went under without B.G.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Wayne's debut outsold BG's album, and Bling Bling was big because of the hook from Wayne

Oh yeah definitely. Chopper City was a game changer for them. Big Boy was on their neck

Dog…have you ever listened to “Its All on U vol 1 & 2”??

its sad BG got hooked on crack…if not, he might have been a bigger lwgend. Nikka peaked at 18 as a rapper…wild
