You know them nikkas you used to run with? Red and Bubba?
They BEGGED me to tell you "fukk ya", so fukk ya!

crazy how they put in all that effort and brought in all those mentors & ghostwriter(s) to make dude hot. wayne should never leave cash money, no matter how much they rob him.
yall remember the ORIGINAL carter 1? they had the album ready to go. flopped single out, video in rotation and everything. then they just scrapped it and nobody cared. then the following summer, hes back rapping like gillie.

....shyt had a nikka amped...^^^^^

This shyt was ill......^^^^^^^^
The buzz wasnt there though as you said....
When i heard the drought though,I was like....shyt had a nikka amped...
That nikka went and took his ass on the road,did mixtapes/features and got himself bubbling again...
Even bring it back didnt really pop,but by that time,his fan base was re-energized...
then go dj dropped and the rest was history...I didnt hear the carter files until recently..It wasnt bad,but the drought had some shyt on there
The Carter 1 might be the most personal album to me..Being a lil wayne stan and just witnessing the evolution of a rapper you supported with summer youth money as a teenager because you really wanted a nikka to win..These ny nikkas up here gave me grief about this nikka..now they fans and im not
I Never saw this video

Link that
@Homeboy Runny-Ray always coming in Wayne threads and overstating Gillie's impact. He so garbage why put so much energy?
I dont think Gillie is wack{jmo},but you cant deny the fact that Gillie indirectly saved Cash Money Records...
Wayne was at a crossroads and if he didnt pick up on the game/swag that gillie was giving him in the studio,there is no way in hell the Carter 1 would have turned out the way it did...Which basically saved Cash Money and actually revived the label...
Im not taking nothing from Wayne because he worked hard to get where he was.but that nikka needed a gillie to expand...
And Large Pro did the same for Nas
Supreme was helping out Ghost
Jay Z vamped so many people
Why do certain people with agendas always bring this shyt up?
Its only an agenda imo,when people downplay wayne like he wasnt working hard on his craft....He was working on his craft,but he needed coaching..
It just history breh...And any real CMR fan knows and understand that Wayne's career was on life support after 500 Degreez....
From after 500 Degreez to basically like 2k3-4,the nikka was technically in artist development...Under Gillie..
They will always be attached at the hip in some form in any hip hop convo about a Carter album...
I'm not denying that but that's literally any artist. Certain people with agendas bring it up in every thread regardless for whatever reason.
If you mention Carter 1..Gillie's name will be mentioned in some way...lol
Its just mental programming at this point
Not outside of the Internet.
