It's never been a question of work ethic for Wayne, I would argue he needs to make LESS songs and just focus on quality
Not much of a work ethic because he puts out garbage lyrics most of the time.
He had a prime?
Lil Wayne realizes how bad his music has become

really dont get the feeling he's making the proper adjustments to get back on top right now. -- seems like he just thinks he didnt put out ENOUGH stuff recently, not that he apologizes for how light it's been. he's gonna rush out another lazy half-assed mixtape with struggle punchlines. the "Dedication" brand has no significance or DEMAND for it after 3 & 4.
If he announced 'No Ceilings 2' then that might mean something.

That why it pays to have diverse subject matter that touches on all aspects of real life, as well as socially conscious shyt. Those type of rappers NEVER have material to run out of.
Heads don't know that shyt. This is the beginning of a beautiful era where lyrics and talent will go a long way. These record companies are running out of ways to market trash music to audiences that actually BUY their shyt.

I agree........hence why NaS is my favorite rapper. It's always new, fresh and interesting
but in the case of Lil Wayne......dude was on since he was like 10. lol he's a child prodigy who never really got to live life outside of the world of the music industry, hence his lack of subject matter.

It was all kinds of stuggle bars on Dedication 4
Wayne has made a mockery out of punchline rap...
Talking about yourself 24/ 7 and money/ bytches will hamper the quality of your music when you get older. Look at Jiggaman. He is struggling to keep up with trends instead of setting them when he nearly 45. Even Public Enemy still tours around the world making dope music with refreshing subject matter that makes them mature and developed artists.

If Weezy gets back on his shyt........
Duke uses a gw, and buys songs from a writing pool.
He does not have any shyt to get back on.

Jay only struggles because he is a skills morph.
Which means he really has no technical base as an artist.
The level of technical prowess he was able piggyback off of, is no longer available to him.
In the form of the jaz's, sauce money's, Chris, beanie.
shyt even, lupe's technical base is no longer available to him to piggyback of.
Which is why his loss of skill is so profound.
If you are a real elite emcee historically,...
Your skill base matures and is always present.
Since, jay's skillbase is that fu-schnick bs,...
Plus, he never really developed his own that fit the sonic landscape like he was supposed to do.
You get the fall off in skill that made him garner acclaim or get note.
The real goat candidates like the krs, ra, g rap's never lose their technical base.
The fraud goat candidates easily show they are no longer proficient with their skillbase that brought them acclaim.
Jay and weezy will never assail back to the level of rhyming and technical prowess they exhibited because they are skill morphs and biters. In the case of weezy,...
Weezy is a gw voice over talent.
So, he never had a technical base.
Plus, the technical base that brought him acclaim has to he paid for.
Or, was lost administratively and probably will never be re-acquired.
As ymcmb/cmr, is a cop&blow based label that has a track record of never really operating in good faith.
