Carter 3 leak was the last time Wayne was Wayne.
Once he got too deep into drugs and doing that I'm A Martian shyt, he was done. The Barry Bonds verse was ground zero
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
Yea yall nikkas doing way too much now, Wayne's talent was solidified by the respect he received in the industry. Wayne legit might have the most peer respect in rap history but he's "mid"...yea that makes no sense. You're top 10 list has all hired wayne for features...damn near ALL OF THEM.....shyt was the twilight zone. It was like trying to convince MAGA that trump ain't shyt.
The drought mixtape he dropped right before the album might of been almost as good as the albumThe stuff that dropped leading up to the Carter 3 was better than the Carter 3
That’s my favorite full project from him. I loved the whole thing! Played TF out of it when it dropped and I’m not a huge Wayne fan like thatThe drought mixtape he dropped right before the album might of been almost as good as the album
