    lil wayne after 2008

    ? wayne after his prime was arguably one of the most hated mainstream artists in hip hop ever lol

    it’s only fairly recently that people started giving him his flowers and begrudgingly admitting how influential he was (or is)

    The 80s rappers. Like when there's a top 50 list and you put Rev Run and Melee Mel in there. It's just perfunctory.

    I can't even name a Grandmaster Flash album besides The Message and my dad played that s*** all the time when I was little

    “how dare a rapper have a life outside of music after dropping 3 of the best albums of all time back to back”

    I mean yeah I guess. It's his job. He's entitled to so what he wants but at the same time I can want more music from him 😭

    I can actually understand 2Pac if you talk about him in a technical rapping sense because he was much less complex than his peers, but what made him special IMO was the raw emotion in his music that really moves people

    He was also (evidently) superior to his peers in making hard hitting memorable lines and verses but they don’t talk about that

    The most quotable rapper ever despite not having the most quotables

    How long it takes to drop an album is just contextual info for the footnotes

    Nobody discovering a discography gives a s*** how long it took for an album to drop, only whether they like it or not

    Don't remember listening to Voodoo and thinking "This is cool, but he made them wait 4 1/2 years? I'm turning this s*** off"

    You're looking at it via a different lens to him although you're also right

    Agree on Travis but everyone knows he's more about aesthetic and production. He's not actually truly talented at rapping. Others aren't overrated.

    He was actually more complex than you think and most of the stuff he put out

    "went Platinum" lol it's Kendrick, of course it would went Platinum. You can't tell me that album is perfect or a masterpiece or even amazing, it has some bad songs and that's a fact

    It went Platinum despite it being his least mainstream/pop friendly and rawest album by far.

    Context is important.

    And I love how you ignored everything else I attributed to the album lol.

    Very true.

    09-13 Wayne was a real pariah in hip hop.

    They were even selling "Lil Wayne sucks" T-Shirts back then lol.
