Tons of unseen footage from late 2004/early 2005. Someone in the Wayne fanbase dumped this on youtube a few days ago. Pretty interesting seeing him before he really hit his stride.

in
very in
TLDR
*Wayne starts of the doc watching the Pistons/Pacers Brawl, then it cuts to him freestyling non stop from hotel, to car for like 7 mins.
*Gets on his new manager at the time Tez, because the hotel room in Orlando isnt ready, cuts to performace footage of him Currensy and others at Ohio State in '04 (raps a verse from Dedication)
*Wayne goes to a session fro Tity Boi, and lays down a crazy verse
then it cuts to wayne on the tour bus with some chicks playing unreleased
Lots of BTS from Iconic photo shoots from that era and tour bus stuff
*At the End Wayne Talks about wanting to leave Cash Money for Atlantic/Warner after the Def Jam deal fell thru. Says Lyor is waiting on him like a Draft pick
There's also a part where someone on his team say that Emimen & Kanye want to send him beats, also he REALLY wanted some Havoc beats at the time (around the 1 hour 2 min mark)
download that s*** before it gets taken down looks like a great accompaniment to the carter documentary which was released n about before carter 3 was released
This doc makes me wonder, what made Wayne resign with Cash money?? like it had to be an insane amount of money he sounded like he knew birdman was full of s*** at the end
the man said he signed his initial 2000 deal on the back of the tour bus where Baby & Slim weren't present. Wtf is that
Imagine 05 Wayne x Em or, 05 Wayne x Kanye. I mean wayne and ye ended up working shortly after this but him and em didn't officially work until 2009. also idk who the manager lady was but she was fine lol

Money aside I don’t think birdman was ever really the problem.
I think almost any label would have never let any of the droughts or dedications ever come out. But Birdman knew that Wayne had so much to offer he never got in the way. Wayne knew that he unlimited freedom with Cash Money.
It wasn’t until Wayne was unable to formulate a half decent song did Wayne start crying about money and “free Wayne”.
Cause if I was birdman almost nothing after the Carter 4 would have ever seen the light of day either.
