Super Bowl Fiasco aside, Wayne had one of the highest peaks ever for a rapper, why is his legend status questionable?

Humble
DNA
Alright
Rich Spirit
Maad City
Count Me Out
Collard Greens
King Kunta
Money Trees
Not Like Us

And he could easily swap one of these out with something like All of the Stars, Swimming Pools, or Like That and still go off

Breh has plenty of songs to choose from. I don't know why yall keep fronting on his catalog

Those songs are all trash

 

[Alvin]

some of his best songs were on mixtapes. Most of his albums are basura and people were just buying the NAME of lil wayne. He's just overrated tbh.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Wayne is a gang banging drug addict with not one uplifting or positive song in his catalog. Super Bowl ain’t for him

 

[RennisDeynolds]

They couldn’t even do the hot Boyz reunion right at the Essence festival, I wouldn’t bank on them doing it at the Super Bowl.

Essence festival doesn't need rap music . Strictly r&b



Birdman doing the hand rub on the 50 yard line is necessary

shyt you let some of these owners and fans tell, that's exactly the description of the players

You need to seek help. Every thread involving Kendrick you are posting multiple times, butthurt like a side bytch that just got pumped and dump

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

fukk a Koonechi
He gonna bring out Jay Z and Juvie to perform "Ha" Remix

I really wish SOHH threads were accessible still. Wayne’s rapping skill and status all time was always questioned and debated in real time during his peak in the hip hop space

This.

I saw that first hand too. Wayne was shytted on heavily on rap forums and super divisive with one side claiming he was the "best rapper alive" and saving hip hop and the other side saying he was WOAT and destroying rap.

And there were memes about him that were negative too, albeit a good portion of them were posted by racist Eminem stans.

Wayne getting screwed over by Baby and going on that hiatus before dropping C5 arguably saved his reputation. Prior to that situation, Wayne was experiencing tons of hate akin to Drake today. People were saying he was falling off, dropping trash, oversaturating himself, and he ticked people off with that "Emmitt Till" bar.

The Baby situation gave him more sympathy, C5 kept him relevant for a bit after the break, and his 2020's feature run reminded people that can still spit at a very high level.

But 2009-2013 era Wayne was one of the most polarizing rappers ever not named Drake.

This y'all goat

 

[Sk3ptical]

These are dope songs but ya'll can't shyt on Wayne's hits and name some of these records. You think the cacs watching the Super Bowl heard of half of these joints?

Nobody wanna hear Wayne rap about bytches,hoes,p*ssy,coke,lean on the super bowl

 

[Ozymandeas]

I have literally never purchased a Lil Wayne album or listened to any of his albums from start to finish.

He was always overrated.

I like some of his songs though (Hustler Muzik to name one).

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Waynes time has passed, people really shocked/mad the hotter rapper got the spot? Plus Kendrick is a waaay better performer than Wayne. Waynes greater overall but he's regressed so much.

I wanted him to perform too when i first heard the SB was gonna be in NO but honestly most of his mainstream songs aren't his best and i don't think alot of them aged well.

But if he started the SB with from nostalgia alone



This is his best performance

 

[Formerly known as...]

Remember Jay has never done the SB and he is also deserving more so than Wayne. What about people like LL Cool J if we talking Rap and hitting heights?

Eminem solo?

 

[the cac mamba]

asking dudes to actually name wayne's set, is the indictment of this "wayne deserves the superbowl" bullshyt. havent seen a list of songs that wasnt laughable

lollipop at the superbowl

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Wayne can perform 'i feel like dying' while going thru withdrawls on stage
