The "OLD" Wayne

[Cli-City]

I just listened to Dedication 2, Drought 3, and tha Carter 2.......Wayne at that moment...IMO...was the best rapper ever.......I dont know what the hell happened...I still think wayne is one of the best and my fav for sure....but wayne cannot compare to himself in 2007-2008........That Wayne isn't comparable.......His rhymes were complexed yet had punchlines....his verses were put together better and his subject topic stayed consistent throught the entire song.....I think that Wayne was so good back then its hard to repeat that era.....Everybody liked wayne.....The hate was miniscule....now it seems like everyone is getting tired of him....He still can rap but his flow isnt as crisp....his content isnt as deep....IDk...my opinion what you guys think...and before you reply really listen to lil wayne old songs...

Songs like amen, pray to the lord, speaker verse >>>>>>>No ceilings, 09 wayne.....

Man get the fukk outa here.

You expect to be taking seriously saying waynes speaker verse is better than No Ceilings ?

NOTHING changed about Wayne. On Drought 3 he was even more random than he is now. I hate when idiots go around thinking if they say they like the old shit ppl will respect them. Get outa here. No Ceilings straight sounds like Wayne's dedication 2.

And in '08 Wayne dropped Dedication 3 which was a horrible mixtape so what are you saying? Dedication 2 was '06, Drought was very early '07. AND Wayne wasn't popular when Dedication 2 dropped and he still had haters in '06, I should know, I didnt start listening to him in '07. Honestly After Drought 3 he witnessed a brief fall off until '09 and he's as good as ever now. He's had many songs with deep meaning, WAAAAAAAY better guest verses than that speaker/9mm simple shit and is on fire. The '07 - '08 you speak so highly of are the the years of autotune and syrup. See, you really dont know shit about wayne

Its how shit works, they hate that he got popular. Period. Some even say they hate him now and loved him when he was 16. Who cares? Success breeds envy.

So there's a difference between "Swag Surfin" and "zoom" off Drought 3? Nope. Both classic sh1t. Man go to sleep.. you dont know nothing bout wayne's music. Foreal.

:suprised: That was not necessary. He/She was only stating his/her opinion on what they think about the old to new Lil Wayne. I agree, he has changed from what he used to be. I think every Artist transforms themselves, it's how they make money. If they don't "get with the program" they won't sell anything. I don't agree on the Fireman is better than A Milli though, they were both random at the same point. Buttttttt; Your comment was just rude.

double co-sign. Wayne wasn't really out there that much when Tha Carter I and Carter II came out. He was like another Gorilla Zoe. People heard him, he had a few songs out there on the radio. He blew up right after Tha Carter II, into theTha Carter III era. He did over 100 cameo's with other artist, popped out with a few mixtapes, and everyone loved him. Fame gets to everybody. His style *PERSONALLY* WAS better back in the day, rapping wise and clothing wise. But am i still not gonna listen to him because of that? Hell no, and A Millie was 110 X's better than Speaker. I could write more about how sippin and smokin everyday changed him throughout the years too, but i'll keep that to myself.
