No Ceilings 3 - Discussion Thread

[BRedd10815]

first alarm bell for me was that remix of drake x lil durk song and how wayne basically made a discount version of it but i thought it was no big deal probs just taking the piss out of drake like he did on hotline bling on nC2 or whatever

i never really listened to the originals myself when it came to the other songs but i was out and about and i heard "throat baby" come on and was interested how the original would sound first thing i noticed is that wayne basically made a cover of the original mimicking the flow to the letter which shocked me but i didn't think all that much about it

till i heard lowdown by lil baby and i was especially hurt because lowdown was my easy favourite of both side A + B and i found out myf av line "im tired of strippers im going at nurses" wasn't even original nor the flow and the hook so i went out my way to actually listen to lil baby album "my turn" and i caught so many of the original songs wayne went over and noticed wayne literally copied his flow to the letter on so many songs its actually disappointing af im going make a thread about this actually

Yo, I made an account so I could reply. Whats next? You gonna claim he ripped off the beats too?

I think you missed the whole point of the No Ceilings mixtapes. They are supposed to be homages to the original songs. Its actually incredibly how he can use each artists individual flow like that. You may think its lazy but I promise you its not easy to take a flow and then add the lyrics to fit. Its really fucking talented to be able to mimic all these different styles effectively.

Now I don't love every song on NC3. I think some are lazy like the drake x lil durk song you mentioned, its not good. But 'Lowdown' and 'Sum2prove' are fantastic homages to the original lil baby songs. Even using some of the OG lines I think is creative, because he rhymes them with different things, puts his own spin on it.

My point is that expecting original stuff on No Ceilings, and Dedication series to an extent, is off base, because he uses these projects to pay homage to the original songs. Go listen to Funeral and/or other studio albums for original stuff.

As a rapper, I jus wanna say that it is actually hard af to do this consistently and have it come out coherent with punchlines and double entendres and shit.

Welcome to the forum

Already broken this down before but wayne actually paid homage on earlier mixtapes but would then ride the beat in his own unique way and ofcourse add his flare in terms of wit and lyrical creativity Nc3 is simply not impressive at all sure he recaptures and repurposes the flow kf the OG artist but its underwhelming and not exciting at all its phoned in and you can tell take a song like comme de garcon or even beauth and the beat where he takes charge of the flow and does it his own way its some best songs on the project

nc3 was too dope

[KnockMeOut]

Didn't listen to it for a while apart from a couple of songs. Been listening again and I appreciate it so much more. I think I'm just never going to enjoy modern style beats as much.

the best thing for anyone to do is cut a few songs from each side and merge it all into 1 project
