and I know going to jail was a big part of it but :manny: that aint on me. It must have been a year? You could say at a stretch maybe 08-10 but it was really just a year between 09 and 10

Drizzy rode his buzz and made his own lane in that time.

08?? Wayne started to get hot around the time tha carter came out (04-05)

this....I remember in like 2007 thats all the board on sohh was talking about and legit discussions of him being the G.O.A.T lmao

but his run maybe peaked at the time you were talking but he was bubbling for a while and it was really started to bubble in 06 and 07 where he was looked at as more than just the young kid in the hot boys videos

If you're trolling you're lame. If you're not trolling you're ignorant. And in either scenario you need to go to mass today and pray this away. Wayne's popularity began to rise in 05. The Carter III sales were just a reflection of that. He was scorching from 05-09.

Eh? He was the peoples champion around 05 and then he only really started peaking around 08.



It was after this Gossip performance that he was truly beginning to gain steam, then he went on that insane streak of jumping on every ones songs in 08.

Absolutely not. Between 08-11, biggest in the game and one of the biggest commercial stars overall.
On top like, consistently top 5 between 06-11.

And he probably still is tbh if he releases another album it has a good chance of going platinum.

Which is one of the longest streaks in hiphop, longer than people like DMX, 50 cent, Snoop Dogg and nearly anyone you can name. Only Em, Kanye and Jay could box with that.

And no I'm not no damn Lil Wayne stan.

Horrible horrible horrible thread...my fukking goodness this is a horrible thread.

You're in the TPC and I fukks with most of your kliq but come the fukk on dawg...this nikka Wayne had the greatest run of any artist ever besides maybe Jay-Z. Kanye may surpass both of their runs but until Wayne is done we will never know.

I'm not even a Wayne fan anymore but come on dawg...

i have never seen cacs push a rapper as much as they pushed lil wayne 06-09. not drake, not even em. em white fanbase is like dudes from missouri and south carolina. but that elistist hipster car? they pushed wayne more than anyone. i still would like someon to make a definitive wayne best 25 songs list. a lot of his ish doesnt hold up. even something like I Feel Like Dying, i mean, lil b took his weird ass rapper spot.
