I'm chuckling reading your post, because if you replaced "Wayne" with "Wu-Tang" or "Rakim" it would be a classic post from a

rap head. Literally word for word, exactly the same.
Wayne is probably special to you, which is why you're framing your posts like this. But the fact of the matter is, he's washed, and the new gen don't give a fukk about him, any more than you did Wu-Tang. Him being one of the greatest, or how much he sold, or how long his run was, or how many hits he had....is now completely irrelevant.
Time is the great equalizer.
