again you dont say anything about they raps. you a clown
Im not a eminem fan and Kanye isn't rapping as good as he used to but his still decent i never said wayne cant rap he evidently can but most of the music he chooses to release is pure unfiltered garbage tkaes more then a couple decemt feata
wayne fans have turned into barbs. all they care about numbers and charts. they even be clocking his retweets. and what social media thinks about said verse, video, or outfit he wear
if wayne fans were like barbz they would buy his music
- Kanye moves like a business man he moves like an artist not like a washed up druggie although he got his issues his music will be packaged correctly, it will have great production it will be promoted with effort and care and have features people care about.
- Eminem moves like a legend he doesn't move like a washed up druggie his music will be promoted right he'll make songs HIS fans enjoy he wont compromise and distort his sound for commerical appeal
- btw the album donda 2 is unfinished whatever kanye doing is experimental unique and different atleast his doing something unlike wayne whos biggest highlights have been a garbage ep with rich the kid and a feature by allan cubas
Lets not act like Kanye isn't clout chasin 24/7. Its workin but it isn't something we should want wayne to do lol. Kanye can drop whatever he wants right now because he has mastered marketing and gimmicks.
Then even Eminem admit he tried to change his sound for SOME of the songs on Kamikaze and mtbmb to try to appeal more to GP. Some of his fans didn't like that tho. Plus eminem is what and has a strong white fanbase who BUYS and streams anything he drops so he will continue to do bigger numbers than a lot of rappers like Jcole etc even if GP isn't really listening eminem core is so big.
Martian said it before best. Wayne dont need to do their numbers but he should be close to them.
Like funeral first week shouldve been like 200k then like 750k in a year.

they show up first week and her songs always freefall on them charts

Thats because you need radio play to be stable on the charts. That weekend song that broke records had 50-70 million radio play every week but life is good outsold and didn't chart as long.

'BuT WaYnE RaP BeTtEr' ok? Takes more then just mindlessly rapping about nothing for last 5 releases to actually get an audience mans needs to market his albums package them the right way work on some actual SONGS fix his mixing etc we are hardcore wayne fans we'll stick around and listen to whatever he drops the overall general public will not and those people generate the hype and Interest around waynes music going forward
Him being able to rap better is what makes this stagnant period even worse because kanye can release unfinished demos about jesus and eminem can make some cringe ass music but they both outselling wayne..... Who is at times rapping better then he ever has before this we got FWA, SFTW2, NC2, D6, C5, CG1 all projects where wayne was rapping hard af but the projects werent packaged or sold as they were mostly mixtapes, commercial mixtapes or collab projects
When C5 dropped it did numbers and was praised for its concepts, lyricism features etc and was overall a fantastic project instead of riding that high they dropped Funeral which didn't AT ALL feed into what people actually liked about c5 eg. Growth, maturity, concepts and instead literally did the absolute opposite
They expanded the worst ideas on C5 and made that the inspiration behind most of Funeral and as evidenced by sales didn't land with people nearly at all most people just saw it as a side step at best and a step backwards at worst now most people don't really care or know what waynes working on rn they just see 'waynes dropped a collab with rtk' and ask why tf would he do that?
Thats it none knows about ianahb3 or collegrove 2 or anything because he doesn't even barely market himself anymore 90% of the time hos just doing podcasts for sports players or interviews on ESPN its boring as hell

i'm so pissed that they didn't capitalize on the D6/C5 hype. D6 + Reloaded being a very succesful and praised mixtapes and C5 sold almost half a million and was also praised. This is a big missed opportunity and is both Wayne's and his team fault. Maybe if Birdman was still around things would've been better idk

That's not needed, Lil Wayne still has it with the music, just listen to features over the past year.
He needs help with his solo projects.
Wayne can’t seem to put together a decent song anymore …he needs to take a break. Wayne fans that want him to keep releasing mediocrity are not real fans y’all are enablers. The more trash he puts out the more his legacy is destroyed.
wayne fans have turned into barbs. all they care about numbers and charts. they even be clocking his retweets. and what social media thinks about said verse, video, or outfit he wear
Maybe Wayne fans should be more like barbs and support him lol

if barbs supported nicki like yall claim she wouldnt be tryna chase hits releasing 2 songs with lil baby back to back weeks. she wouldnt need to sub meg and doja cat if they were supporting her like yall claim
Barbz deff don't be supporting Nicki, idk what y'all talking about in here. Her fans talk a lot of shit when she's about to drop then don't buy/stream her records.That's why her shit flop like one week after its released.
And it's funny because no other big female artists fanbase is like that. Beyonce, Megan, Cardi, etc...their fans actually support their shit.
they do suck and i promise you very very little people will like their music.

i still think Wayne got it in him to make amazing album, but he gotta change alot of things. Last year we heard he can still sound like old Wayne(Seeing Green, Bash Money, The Ritual) he just needs good production and not some 18 year old producers who nobody knows all over his album. Stop being cheap and just pay for good production. The features are also big problem, no one cares about fuckng OT Genesis, Lil Twist, Allan Cubas, Adam Levine etc. And although this is a mixtape, this dude really put great spitters like Euro, Jay Jones and Gudda Gudda on freaking mumbling autotune songs (Ring Ring, Kamilla and Drag Em) and that's one of the reasons NC3 was so disapointing. But I still have hope for his future music, he can't stay in that mumbling autotune trap lane forever

Wayne need to go chase some hits then if you think thats what Nicki doing. I know you arn't use to getting singles that chart and having an artist that drops two songs and lets the people choose which song would be the lead... *sips tea*
Do we have a problem is the lead for the album now and its gold eligible already...
Whats really tea is Megatron and Yikes (2x platinum and platinum eligible) outsold Trust Fund Babies. They wernt even pushed as singles....
Im glad you watchin Nicki every move and catchin the subs. Meanwhile both of them have been sneak dissin Nicki and copyin her videos and songs...

Loud and Wrong. You have to have radio play to be stable on the hot 100. A lot of Nicki recent songs and features that have big drop's wernt singles and/or wernt sent to radio etc. When was the last time you even bought wayne music?
