Re: Official Tha Carter IV Discussion Thread
I think wayne getting big kinda put the emphasis back on lyrics. it seemed to me for a while after illmatic...with the exception of a few records like college dropout and black album...that lyrics all throughout the game fell off. all you needed was a good beat and catchy hook and you could be a superstar for a period of time...Ex (soulja boy, dem franchize boys)...with waynes style being about punchlines and stuff people really started paying attention to what he was actually saying. even haters....they hated / and still do because they say he doesnt stay on topic...but at the end of the day they're paying attention to his lyrics. i think that was great for the game because that made all other rappers have to step up lyrically or else they would only have a hit every now and then. wayne saved hip hop because he put the attention back on lyrics. thats what i think.
