But he consistently has lyrics about murdering families, kidnapping babies, sending body parts of dead parents to their children. Are these songs that much more controversial? lol

nope

[lilwayne-carter]

could it be sample issues?

[mania983]

Oh shit, that’s a great point! And what better way to exact your revenge when your hands are tied? Rap like trash.

That probably annoyed the fuck outta Birdman and crew. Lol.

The one hole in that theory tho... the mixtapes. D4 was better than IANAHB2 but it was very much headed in that direction and Wayne seemed excited to be rapping in his new Meek influenced style.

Hmm maybe it’s a bit of everything

"Meek influenced style" - you mean energetic double time flow where he shouts rapping?

[Shake]

Kidnap Cupid deserves an official release, I dont care.

That tweet. Lol. I remember that. There’s no way he wasn’t trolling. Remember when C4 came out and the general consensus about the production was like huh??? There were aight beats but a lot of it was garbage by lesser known or even then- unknown producers (megaman , intro, etc)

Anyway, IANAHB2 Actuallg has better production than C4, but the lyrics were just embarrassing. Best Wayne test for me to this day is whether or not I could confidently bump it in public or show it to someone who doesn’t know Wayne to be like “this is what Wayne all about”

C5 is one of the few things since prison I could confidently do that with. C5 leaks (some of them) and these new leaks would be ok too.

LMAO I second this 100%

I remember telling a friend I was a wayne fan and the first thing she did was show me a song from IANAHB II and said, "How can you like him after this??"

Show them Glory from FWA, I think that song truly shows what Wayne is about...

[no_tom&jerry]

Yeah Glory was dope. FWA was low key his best post prison work until C5. I guess D6 could be part of that convo too. Parts of it anyway.

FWA I remember bumping that all summer long when it came out. Always reminds me of it. Such a great summer. My favorite tracks were glory, London streets, psycho, post bail ballin, living right, White girl, pull up. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

FIRST of all, the production isn't better or worse on C4 or IANAHB2. They're totally different styles. You're conflating your personal taste with QUALITY.

Second, lyrics were GREAT on IANAHB2. Almost everything he said was a double entendre or metaphor or simile. Rhyme schemes and flows were on point. It's got classic songs on it like "No Worries," "Back to You," "Rich as Fuck," "Love Me," "God Bless Amerika"

Had some of Wayne's best bars such as:

"I am the best thing since wet pussy, on my private jet with my chef cookin, so big headed my neck crooked, my niggas foul when the ref lookin"

"Man I'm on some other shit. I want another bitch that want another bitch and I don't cuddle, bitch. I hit her with that shovel dick, I got in that pussy & dug a ditch. Some people gotta punch the clock, man I'd rather punch a brick"

"On my private jet and my stewardess is yo bitch, nigga, bitch nigga. I know gold diggers and ditch diggers, you don't get dissed you get disfigured"

"My mind's filled with minefields"

"And granted we do it for vanity not humanity, but what's appealing to me is under banana trees"

"It's like soon as I cum, I come to my senses"

"I'm a straight rider with a get away driver. Hit you dead on the money now you dead on arrival"

"I just can't see myself..living in a house of mirrors. I bought me a double 'R' cuz I went from rags to riches."

Actually every bar on "Trigger Finger" is CRAZY. Every bar on "Rich as Fuck" is CRAZY too.

IANAHB2 is a SOUTHERN classic and is criminally underrated. I think what y'all really don't like about it just how different it is compared to his more universal hits. He really leaned into the southern thing hard on it.
