He was cool from 97 to about 2005 with me. After that, he lost me, big time.

Young Wayne had to really grow cause if not, he would be behind Juvenile and BG (always better than Wayne) on Cash Money.

Current Wayne don't have to do nothin cause he somehow can release anything and it will top the charts. SO he doesn't even try because he's already at the top (like it or not.)

Yea I love partying and do it to much, need to chill a bit this semester coming up . Every music has its place.. I get down at the club to some Wayne, Rihanna, Usher, Wale, hell even some Beyawnce but no I dont think it should be recognized in serious artistic regards because its not that great, its just fun music to shake your ass to

I probably wouldnt find them as annoying, if they werent so massively overrated

People get a little to hype though when a Wayne song comes on.. its like some are possessed, I make sure to get out of the way

But at the gay club i go to he gets the black & asian guys on the floor. So i can fucks wit that

greedy ..

As long as the fellas arent standing on the damn walls the whole time making us ladies do all the work, dont care what they play

Bad girl Miss Carousal.

I bought the Carter II but that was it.

Other than that, since he became popular, I find him annoying. I despise him actually. He looks like he smells and half the time his lyrics don't even make sense. I feel like he's become less popular since the Carter III came out and I can deal with that.

He's a talented dude got a few excellent songs tbh. Cats on here acting like he's the anti-christ of rap music or some ish. Gets waaaayyy too much hate at times.

Don't pretend that you aint to his shit at the club either too, we see ya.

My personal feelings are that Lil Wayne's a so-so rapper at best. Also i think he's irresponsible, overrated, overexposed, Misogynist, a fake gangster, and is addicted to drugs.

Having said that; some of his songs are catchy so i can see why people listen to his music.

The Carter 3 was the best album he released, nice beats and his best work to date. There are some good stuff from his other albums (before the carter 3) but his best era is from 98-08. He did good on The Carter 3 because of the production and because we know he got help with writing it, there's a decline in his rapping because prior he had ghostwriters and afterwards he probably believed the hype and started writing his own verses and that's why it sucks!

If he disappeared tonight............I would never say, "I wonder what happened 2 Lil Wayne".

You make a good point!

i don't GET him. (I guess i'd have to listen to get him to begin with though right....but i digress) i'm baffled by his success. the era of hip hop i grew up on was such you don't GET a second chance. he was wack when he came out with Cash $ and ppl clowned on him/them and I'm surprised he's become this generation's Tupac of sorts. i'm like REALLY!!?? I'm glad to say the only song i've actually heard of his that i can point out is Lollipop because i avoid the radio and places that would have him in heavy rotation like the plague. (i remember being on the treadmill in the gym when that song was out and thinking so THIS is Lil Wayne... i'm not missing anything...) so i've never danced to his stuff or had a chance to hear any wit, etc. i THINK i could only recognize his voice because he sounds like he has a frog in his throat. i feel sad for this generation of hip hop fans who've made him as huge as he is, just indicative of how far the bar has been lowered. maybe i'm guilty of hating what i haven't heard but oh well, convince me otherwise. (well on 2nd thought, don't, better things to do with my listening time)

When he first came out he had potential. I don't know if it was his drug abuse (he does that "Lean" stuff) or what, but sometime after the first or second Carter album or maybe during his mix tape where he was promoting the Sqad Up group, he decided "fuck logic" and rant like a banshee and he's been lost since. He seems smart though, he actually was a straight-A student before he dropped out and I think he got a college degree or is inching close to one.

@Timmy, LRC, & Cinnie.....Whatever happen to THIS^ Lil'Wayne from the late 1990's?

I don't know. SOMETHING happened because he ain't been right since 2004 or didn't start acting right around then.

I can't stand Tha Block Is Hot.

The Block Is Hot was the shit when it dropped. But he still was a 2nd tier Cash Money artist behind Juve and BG. BG's Chopper City In The Ghetto is a classis southern hip-hop album.

Wayne got his style from another Cash Money artist Lil Slim.

Man, early Cash Money was the shit, and I mean early ...

(this song is about Mystikal, not yet signed to No Limit Records but a local label Big Boy. Big Boy and Cash Money had some real beef.)

BG

Ah before Cash Money went all pop...

Imma have to check that out. Some of the songs sound nice.

Timmy84 said:

I knew Cash Money changed the moment they got rid of the Hot Boyz, but once they signed Teena Marie (and to a lesser Mack 10) I knew it was different.

This was like 2004. CMB use to be nothin' but New Orleans cats. Once they started goin other places, they left that hardcore gangsta rap alone.

My cousin from Louisiana put me on to them. They began in 1992. The other labels in New Orleans was Big Boy and Parkway Music. No Limit was still in Richmond until 1994. Most of No Limit's talent came from Big Boy and Parkway. I remember he had a bunch of early BG albums. BG was the main dude in Cash Money from around 95-99. They had a huge fued with Big Boy which included Mystikal, Fiend, and some others. Parkway had Soulja Slim, and a few lesser known No Limit guys like Full Blooded.

I dug this track & some of the album. But they trying so hard to look... ''hard'' on the cover

I am sure they feel very "hard" together on that cover.

Is cough syrup still his 'drank'? Did I get that right?

Never was a fan. Even when 'the block is not' came out, I hated that damn song.

I honestly don't get his appeal.

The only thing he's good at is making babies.

I Sometimes wish rappers knew how stupid they look in pics

That pic wit birdman & Wayne with all that damn gold on. WHO WEARS SHIT LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC?, Wayne is not a real gangster so he would get jacked quick! But really it seems like Wayne & Birdman are about to go down for the chocolate sunday in that pic

Gunsnhalen said:

0k, so dude gets almost all hate on here. And hell i have hated on him to...

But i always knew he had some witty lyrics, and sometimes his fans are just

BUT

I Have to admit 6 fot 7 is a dam jam when they play that at frat parties or the club people go ape shit. Carter III was meh, Carter IV was meh meh meh.

But i listened to some of his mixtape stuff & i dig some of it. I think Wayne is a good rapper but with some disturbingly awful lyrics at times Dude is for sure overrated by a lot of people but he is also a bit of a clever(NOT GENIUS) Lyricist at times.

This is my attempt to see what people really dislike about modern artists, i mean i can go to listening to epic 13 minute prog songs & smooth jazz with weird time signatures & insane solos But i realize especially being back in college sometimes i do like fun music to just chill to.

Even artists that used to annoy me like GaGa her stuff isn't so bad once it's not crazy overplayed which she hasn't been as overplayed ocmpared to a year or 2 ago.

So yes... opinions on Wayne? do you think he has no talent, is he a hack? is he a clever artist?

6 foot 7 is my jam! Stuntin like my daddy is also a good track. I'm not a fan of his but he has his moments i suppose.
