wonder how he feels seeing Drake selling out NBA arenas in 30mins and in 2015 , Wayne cant sell more than 2,500 tickets in a 4,000 venue :wow:

62 Lil Wayne American Bank Center Corpus Christi, Texas Jan. 24, 2016 $165,476 2,287 Sold / 4,436 Capacity 1 / 0 $97, $37 Live Nation

Hold up...

This nicca did a $165k house. If that's a flop, let's say he flops 3 times = $495,000

Not bad for someone nearly 20 years in considering he's cold right now, no buzz or music out

Drake comparisons are cool, but let's see how many tickets Drake is selling in 15 years time before we stan anyone too hard guys?

Out here in my damn drawls
If he handled his business and put down his cup, he could have been in a position to exploit Aubrey's success for himself


Dude had the game on a least for arguable 5 years. He had a blank check to negotiate any kind of deals he wanted but now we're in 2016 with the man pouring champagne on smart-phones looking special-bus status.


You'll never see a legend like Jay Camel doing no demeaning shyt like that for some paper and getting outrapped by TittyBoi every song on a project :scust:

Thats not how it works, Lil Wayne's mainstream ascension came around 2004, before that he wasnt that guy.

As far as being at the top like a 50 Cent or Drake, then it would be around 2007-08 for Wayne

This was bound to happen tho. His career is built off mixtape freestyles that won't carry over to the next generation who are use to mix tapes being original songs wit original beats. I told y'all along time ago, dude can't really sell out a college arena in New Orleans

Never thought Wayne would fall off :mjlol:
Anybody can fall off. :dahell: It's happened too many times. Rap got dumber. Funny thing he started the whole dumb rap thing and fell off. :mjlol: Zero fukks given, you see how these cats act when they got money, when they fall off they all humble. Dude got like 5 kids. smh.

As an artist, athlete, or entertainer I can't see how in this day in age you don't put money aside. Even though some are getting ripped off and not getting paid what they should. They still make more money than the average cat.

he did seriously over saturate the market also dude had like 6346567342 records out at one time between albums features and mixtapes
I used to giggle like a school girl when nikkas would talk about his "work ethic"

Working a lot doesn't matter if the product is garbage. :weazle: dun run out of shyt to rap about

Its pretty ice cold how :heh: isn't throwing him any kind of bone whatsoever though. He gettin too cocky. Hearing a lot of mixed reviews on Views.... this mite be the last one :sas1:

he can re-find a lane. wayne is a talented dude

he should work to get a solid and creative team around him, and get those revenue streams back flowing again

the Samsung phone stuff is already a good look, he just gotta be clever and keep capitalizing on oppotunities

no resting on laurels
