I’m not saying he don’t do drugs. I’m saying no functioning addict going to have that much focus. Here’s what I think Cash Money done since 2000 bring in dudes to play the background write rhymes. Birdman pay them under the table Wayne get the writers credit.

Doesn't stop Jay from remembering them? he has been in the game for 30 years and still remembers his shyt.

Didn't stop Kendrick to perform his songs live even though he wrote 90% of his songs on his phone and lost it.

His songs are available on Genius if he wants to read the lyrics before a live performer...he doesn't remember them cuz he didn't compose them.

Punching in every 2-3 bars is way different than memorising a whole 16 before you go in the booth.

Your not actually committing anything to memory your just piecing lines together. Its easy to see why he would forget his lyrics, especially cause he just moves on a records 20 other songs and doesnt actually go back to the records until the exec producer puts together his projects from 100s of songs.

I don’t doubt he punched in on some of his stuff. But Carter 1 sound like Gillie



Then the nikka switched his style for Carter 2. Switch style each album= new writers soaking up energy

so many amazing rock bands put out their absolute best in the depths of addiction to heroin and cocaine, not even to mention the acid casualties of the 60s and 70s. drugs can inspire the hell out of people but they can ruin everything too.

i think in waynes case, he's been considered the 'golden child' for so long that it was almost some michael jackson/child actor type shyt. i think he did progress and grow up through the carter III/no ceilings days but that was his peak. dude has had people telling him hes the greatest for so long that he doesnt even try anymore... he just puts out whatever he comes up with

i do think he still has something in him, but without struggle hes not gonna reach those heights again. and i dont buy the ghostwriting stuff. wayne is very distinct with his rhymes. i dont think you can really write for wayne lol, wayne writes for YOU

just my 2 cents. im prolly wrong like usual lmao :yeshrug:

Plus being in CMR from since 11 and his Mother being around as a Shield could only Last so long:francis:
