I think at this point in Wayne's Career, he's too old to produce music like he did in 04-09 era. I think it's obvious that Wayne's work ethic is starting to come back to hurt him mainly due to the fact he simply doesn't have that many bars left. At age 33, 20+ years in the game, you shouldn't be dropping 3 projects in a year. I love new Wayne music as much as the next guy, but the effort he's putting in his features need to start being put into his albums. We've received over 25 features from Wayne this year and 90% of them or him in his best form. Then when we get to his full projects, we don't get the kind of effort he put into the the feature throughout the whole song. Wayne simply doesn't have enough bars left to record over 70 songs a year like he did this year. He needs to focus all his energy into his full songs at this point as his features aren't enough anymore to gain the respect he deserves amongst the hip hop world and the media at this point. He needs to make a decision. Either step back like Andre 3000 did and only give dope features from time to time, or take the Kendrick, Kanye, J-Cole approach and go into hiding until your confident that every song you put out is at it's full strength and you drop a full cohesive project. We've all seen Wayne's greatness in 2015, mainly due to his features, but no one else is hearing his features except us. They are only hearing his full projects which are at a much lower quality than his features.
I think at this point in his career, he already has enough GOAT features, but needs 1 or maybe 2 more goat projects to solidify his legacy in rap. Therefore for him, he needs to take on the Kanye, Kendrick Approach and save all those bars, for his OWN projects. I think he's looked much better on other people's projects than his own this year. In addition, at this point in his career, he can't afford to have songs like I'm that Nigga come out anymore. At this point everything that shows up on his projects need to be him at his best because everyone is expecting to hear him at his best.
Just an Example of What a Wayne Project at Full Strength Would Look Like this Year had he Took Time to Put full effort in a Project with no fillers

Thats Album of the Year EASILY. As Wayne fans, our greed might be messing up his legacy. Our constant demand for Wayne music in reality might just be causing him to burn out. A prime example of that to me is his Jumpman remix. The whole song was wack except for his flow switch which flashed GOAT weezy. Back in the day he would've took on the whole jumpman beat with that aggression but he simply doesn't have enough left in the tank to make that kind of music at the rate we get it.
What do ya'll think?
