Why Has Lil Wayne’s Music Aged So Poorly

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Because no matter the subject matter Wayne is really just a punchline rapper

he’s the best punchline rapper of all time, but most of his bars are set up to puns/analogies of some sort. That shyt gets tiresome

Never the dude who said “I beat that p*ssy up like Emitt Till”

and a whole lot of other corny punchlines

there are like 100 other better punchline rappers

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I was a big fan of Hot Boyz Wayne up into 2007

Hot boyz was a no limit movie

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Not this song,thats for damn sure

 

[FeverPitch2]

Because it wasn't that good to begin with.

 

[CoryMack]

Because it was never anything special to begin with. He came in at a very low point in rap and that tricked the fools into thinking he was something special.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Hot boyz was a no limit movie

meant the Hot Boyz era Lil Wayne

 

[Tetris v2.0]

He didn't pick great production after Carter 1 IMO, that aged a lot of his music. And his emphasis on "hot lines" over actual songwriting. But I won't hate, that shyt was popular as hell when it was

 

[Monoblock]

Was just listening to this yesterday. I think his earlier music primarily up to The Carter 1 is still listenable. Most of it afterwards aged a bity but nowhere near as horrible as some of the other shyt yall hype

 

[Finesse]

Funny I was just bumping this




The thing about Wayne was that he was very experimental so alot of his shyt was hit or miss.

Sometimes the songs didnt hit. But what it did was put the thought out there. Which other rappers picked up and made careers off of.

IE: Future, Thug, Uzi, Trippie Redd, Juice Wrld, Chief Keef etc.

And thats just musicality, aesthetic and image wise there is no contest no point in even talking about that.

 

[Marc Spector]

Tha Carter II is his best album which is no coincidence as he was using East Coast producers

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Because he's a Trump supporting c00n.

 

[Cladyclad]

Tha Block is Hot aged better than Tha Carter tbh

I know opinions are a thing

but are u fukking high lol

I’m a casual Wayne fan but hell naw at this opinion

 

[Womb Raider]

OP wylin


Only thing that aged poorly about Wayne is his c00ning and Trump support

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Go DJ, Fireman, I feel like dying still go

And what's that old song where Wayne is rapping about becoming a father?

 

[Estarossa]

I still have the Carter I & II in rotation…



This is my favorite Wayne song of all time…
