Yeah I still remember being out in LA and every other song was a Wayne song being played. Had like five different tracks off C3 in rotation plus a few features. I didn't think it was as good as C1 or C2 but that album was getting hyped like crazy.

Played everywhere!

People bought into the hype of Lil' Wayne being this GOAT level MC. C3 dropped and people called it wack, underwhelming, and mid because it wasn't the mixtape Wayne they were used to. Me personally, I never thought Wayne was great. He was good, but nothing he was putting out was nowhere as good as what it was hyped to be. It was fun seeing him put out so much material, but when people actually gassed the most basic punchlines, it was funny.

Houston, by way of Pittsburgh.
seeing wayne fans grow up and realize he was always ass will always be hilarious to me

Bro, I vividly remember the summers of '07 and '08 getting into full blown arguments with nikkas about how mid Wayne was. Idk if nikkas realize how much of a minority you were back then if you felt that way, and I got called a hater so many times because I just didn't see the hype. Mind you, I was a MAJOR Carter 2 fan and spent A LOT of mornings walking to school listening to that album. I loved Wayne around that time, so it had nothing to with me not being a fan.

Something about those Dedication mixtapes really fried nikkas brains and made them believe he was better than he was, when he wasn't even spitting as hard as he was on the Carter albums. He was just saying shyt lol. I was breaking them shyts down in real time, pointing out how ass they were and nikkas couldn't take it.

The Wayne phenomenon was peak group thinking in Hip Hop lol

It was literal cult shyt back then, and the thing is, you couldn’t even say it was a youth thing, cause I was college age Wayne’s peak/prime years and adults were going nuts over him. I always thought in order to be impressed by his goofy bars, there’s no way you could be older than elementary or middle school age, cause the shyt was straight up wack. These garbage bars that fanbase is suddenly frowning at on C6 are the same types of bars he was spitting back then, particularly the 09-14 version of him. Goad I never considered him my goat :mjlol: :mjlol:

I never understood why people hyped this album up or tried to call it an instant classic. And this isn’t revisionist history either.

Not as good as the first two but still a very dope album.

1-2 skippable joints and like 10 very memorable, stop it breh. Not everything has to be overrated, underrated etc. It was rated well a great solid album with smash hits that almost everyone loves, can’t ask for much more than that

Honestly most of Waynes albums were bad. His mixtapes kept people lying about his albums
