Was "I Feel Like Dying" Ahead Of It's Time?

[Braman]

I don’t think that’s the right way to put it. ‘Before it’s time’ is for something people didn’t know what to do with it in real time and it went under the radar only to be used years later.

That wasn’t the case with this. As soon as this song dropped it sparked the change from admiring the seller to admiring the user

And at the same time ‘prostitute flange’ sparked the change from smashing n dashin hoes to fallin in love with em.

I say all the time , whoever is on top of the game has the power to influence a whole generation and Wayne was dope but man did so much damage it’s comical.

Listen to dedication 3 solo version and it sounds like it could have been realeased 10 years later and still sound fresh. People hated on that mixtape but when you take out the mid YM verses its actually really cohesive and ahead of its time.

Eminem has to be the least influental super star rapper. Outside of a few fringe white boys nobody was really influenced by him.

Like lil wayne is arguably the most influental rap artist outside of rakim if were talking about how many people bit off his flow/swag.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Alot of stuff Wayne did was ahead of its time. This to me was just as impactful as the song in OP

I love his verse here, he used the auto tune perfect here

 

[distinguishedNOW]

Probably never been more wrong about a song than this. I remember initially being like WTF is this?

I eventually came around - undeniable classic.

@Braman stated it more eloquently than I did

He singlehandedly made lyricism in rap look corny

Before him, rippity rap dudes weren't seen as corny

 

[MaxBundles]

Yooo i totally forgot about this song. Aint hear this in probably 8 years

 

[Cladyclad]

This was one of the first songs where I was like I see it now. I stop hating on Wayne as far to him not being good at this point

(Random Clady fact #1. “This is what I call her” is my favorite Wayne song)

 

[MaxBundles]

Yall remember this one?

I played the hell outta this song back in the day
This era Wayne was the goat for real

I thought Wayne's verse was super fresh hot & ready Garbage

And I was a huge wayne fan at that time.
