C3 Leaks (The Drought Is Over) Effect on Wayne's career. Positive or Negative?

[BrewCityYM]

Yeah.

I just wish all the people that hate Wayne because of his radio songs, would listen to his C3 Sesh songs or even before that.

Wayne has so much good music that many don't know about.

Like if I ever have conversations about music with someone, they'll look at me crazy for saying Wayne is my favorite rapper lol.

But I never tell them why because they wouldn't understand lol

They have listened to it. They wish he would go back but he cant. So all they hear is this commercial bullshit........ Yaw so Wayne and sell out and its not about money nomore..... Well ima tell yaw what birdman told big sean "I Nothing More Important Than Tha Mula" so this tha Wayne that will stay cuz its bringing in revenue.

I know man! It's aalways just worth it dealing with haters but you know deep down Wayne is amazing!

I think it got him way more popular IMO. Having so many good songs to listen to all the time

obviously

and for the second part... well yeah.. but you wouldve had them were they on the album..

Do you guys think wayne wouldve been as successful with the C3 Sesh if it were an album?

The thing I think about this is that Wayne already made those songs, and then they got popular.
So I don't think it changed a lot. Otherwise they would probably just be on the next album or similar songs.
But I think the success of C3 influenced his carreer a lot, I don't think the C3 Sesh wouldve been as big as an CD (album)
and therefore wouldnt have set Wayne to a path creating those kind of songs

[RealLife]

It was a Negative he turned into a Positive. He captilized off the leaks... and it worked.

[Murk The Ace]

Does the song make the album or the album makes the song? If it's a leak, album or session song, IMO, I don't care. Just give me that flow

[KaneMarley]

Extremely negative. I had hopes for him, he was the MC that got me into hip hop. I was pissed for months when I heard EVERYONE singing Lollipop and it being played on the radio endlessly. If C3 wasn't leaked, Wayne would have less "OMG WAYNE DA BEST RAPPER EVER! YEUH NIGGUH!" fans and more "Wayne is a talented MC in the game, one of the greatest" fans. And he would have less people calling things like S4TW, C3, D4 or C4 great when in reality, they're mediocre. His "fans" wouldn't eat up everything he puts out.

THANK YOU. After he came out of jail he wasnt what he was before he went in but cause its got his name on it people just automatically say its good when in fact it is just average material.

The C3 leaks and the drought 3 is what made me know Wayne was dope so id say it was positive but at the same time that was his peak but it went unoticed because not everyone got to hear songs like C.O.L.O.U.R.S, What He Does, Did it Before, Scarface, Pussy MVP. However everything happens for a reason i guess and with tha C3 doing what it done he's a mega superstar now.

[Leaff]

Positive, alot of my fav songs are on those tapes and its what really made alot of other Wayne fans.

[YM Salute]

Negative, although it did help blow his name out of proportion with the second C3. The original wouldn't have done as much in sales in reality, the singles there wouldn't have been able to match how big Lollipop got, and that was a lot of spotlight on him worldwide and not just from the rap community. Not only that, but now he's a "superstar" like he said as opposed to a well-known rapper.

It's good and bad though. Who knows how C4 would've turned out... And nobody knows how his style of rapping would've been these days. I guess everything happens for a reason, and the C3 leaking was mainly negative for his rapping MC skills, but positive for his popularity. So it's good that his name got big because who knows if he would've still been as huge as he is now if it never leaked.
