smh hell no I hope je never goes back to that. Dedication 3 and C3 were his weakest pooints lyrically

*Not trying to argue* You really think that? You're telling me his pre-prison (Features in early 2010 & IANAHB) are better than songs like Demolition Freestyle 1/2 and songs like that? Wayne was killing songs effortlessly in that era. And before that too. Now it just seems like hes trying to hard (Not always; Hustle Hard for example he goes in effortlessly).

You can't forget his C2, DD3, D2 flows..... Wayne was basically un-fuck-with-able back then (Besides Eminem. He was just too good back then.)

Dude the inconsitensy after C3 and before Dedication 3 is mind boggling.


I won't say better but he was inconsistent as hell. Back then he took that free form style and almost butchered it. His charisma got him thru alot..cuz some verses would have u like and ofcourse, autotune abuse. All that shit dulled his style during that time IMO. He still had flashes of a genius even on Dedication 3 but most of the time he was just outa control... I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. INHAB to me represented Wayne getting back to form. Even if not lyrically just yet. He's at a good place now to me.

smh that was a long ass rant lol

Reading this made me think of one specific Weezy song. I can't remember the name of it, but it was an unofficial mixtape song, literally full of autotune, indistinguishable gibberish, and him spelling "Young Money" for 2/3 of the song. So I definitely see where you're coming from.

But yeah, if anyone knows what song I'm talking about, feel free to lemme know. Lol.

Go listen to 'Tha Mobb' then go listen to '6 Foot 7 Foot'. It's two different kinds of rap. It's easy to see now that Wayne is a punchline rapper. He's always had sick punchlines, but now it seems like every other line is a punchline. Back during C2, Wayne could spit fire for bars on bars without dropping a punchline for a filler and it would all be meaningful rap lyrics.

That's the difference between C2 and C3. C2 gave Wayne respect by everyone for a reason - he was arguably the best rapper in the game when that album dropped. He was rapping at another level, basically without wasting a bar on any song. Every song on C2 was raw rap, even the singles (ala 'Fireman') and the jams (ala 'Receipt'). Compared to C3, Wayne was looking to top the whole music industry at that point - so he changed his style up to fit it. That's why C3 has a bunch of different styles, club bangers, and pop songs. 'Lollipop', 'Get Money', 'Mrs. Officer', ect. were pop songs - not raw rap that C2 was made of. It's not a bad thing, because it put Wayne on top of the music game. That was his plan and he played it perfectly with C3. But there are very few songs on C3 that would have made it on C2.

In a nutshell, C2 = raw rap to get respect as the best rapper alive / C3 = mainstream pop songs, creative raps, ect. to get on top of the music world. C2 Wayne didn't waste a bar with a punchline to fill it, every bar was full of lyrics that meant something to the song. C3 (and now) Wayne is full of punchlines that catch the eye, but aren't necessarily contributing to the theme of the song (but that appeals to the mainstream fan and gets sales, chart positions). It's all a chess match to keep up with the times.

The truth in these posts!
