Do you ever get tired of Wayne's subject matter?

[Raw Tune Not A Cartoon]

it’s wild how “stuck” he has gotten these last few years isn’t it??? i listen to glory off fwa & it just blows my mind the amount of subject matter & creativity he was spewing within a 5 minute period. that’s when i thought the actual weezy comeback was going to happen but here we are. now not only does every song he drops sound exactly the same but the subject matter is exactly the same too. i’m telling you he is BORED and he’s bored because the current beats floating around suck, he’s trying to figure out how to fit into this new shit genre of “rap” & it’s obviously not working, & his flows are so messy and sporadic now how can he stay on one subject for more than 2 seconds when he’s saying 1638027 words within a .5 millisecond period. all of it is a mess & he needs to go back to what he was good at. i listened to original silence last night & it’s just baffling to me that that’s the same person we hear today.

Yeah the comeback def started with the OG C5/FWA era, he was spitting like crazy at that point and it's like he entered a 2nd prime. Crazy thing is it continued to get better and better and by the time we hit D6/R and C5, it peaked to a point above his 2007 prime IMO. And then after all that it's just faltered off and not quite recovered. The back-to-back recycled bars about brutal murder, doing coke, and having threesomes has gotten so old because it's all we've heard feature after feature and song after song the last year or so. I'm 100% down for an oversaturation of Wayne songs/mixtapes/albums/features/etc. constantly being released, but Wayne himself needs broaden his lyrical horizon like he did on D6:R. For instance, so many times on NC3 alone (ex. Sum 2 Prove and Low Down), there were moments where Wayne was spitting his ass off and suddenly decided to go on a random 8-bar detour about how many different ways he has sex. It brings the energy of the track to a halt completely. But then again... I guess when you've been spitting as long as he has, you're bound to hit some walls eventually so I'm not stressing over it.

you said it perfectly. And i definitely agree about OG C5/FWA, D'usse, Scottie Pippen, Moment, Life Of Mr. Carter, Gotti, Mona Lisa, Glory, He's Dead, London Roads, Street Chains, HollyWeezy are all classic songs and Wayne sounds hungry on them

i can agree with about half of this and i appreciate you not shitting on my opinion like everyone else does on here lmao. for me personally, the only song i enjoyed from d6/d6r was abracadabra. i literally cannot tolerate a single other song from either mixtape other than that one. & i just can’t listen to c5 cuz i just found it lackluster & boring & to me didn’t fit in the carter series at all. but dude i just wish he would slow shit down, dump the autotune, get some fucking BANGER beats like john gunwalk original silence etc. that shit like doesn’t exist anymore but that’s what he excels at. i just wish he woulda stuck with what he was doing on FWA that was absolutely perfect to me. dreams off of funeral (only song i like on that tape) could have been on FWA and i wouldn’t even have questioned it. he needs to stick to that kind of shit.

[Tha Mobb]

Yes. And I'm really not looking forward to IANAHB III cause I know it's gonna be about drugs, sex, violence, and more sex

Wayne has matured backwards when it comes to lyrics.
C1-C3 him being the most mature he has ever been.

lol Mannie's parts on Wayne's Takeovers 1 and 2 are soo relevant now

[Dwise]

Yes.
I feel like he raps about breaking into people's homes in every other song.

[danielnfl36]

This is where he should be in this pocket now. He's not doing any of this shit. his gun crime is due to negligence not because he's running up in places.

Well with Wayne for me it’s not what he says it’s how he says it.

that “fuck everything that they say about me I done fucked every bad bitch that stay on south beach” hits just as hard as any line in his prime

it’s more so the flow that’s getting repetitive. it’s the repetitive fast flow that’s limiting him. Even if he’s saying something dope it’s too fast to hear.
