that skater voice accent he started doing around 09 was so f***ing ass to me I almost stopped being a fan
He hasn't been the same since Rikers.
This s*** so surreal because it’s like u watched an artist get his magic taken in real time
07, 08, 09 Wayne were all different animals of the same beast lol word to Kobe
Da Drought 3 > C3/Dedication 3 > verses like MM3/Swagga Like Us, No Ceilings
That’s three different Wayne’s in 3 years lol. 09 I feel like was his best mix of getting intricate but still sounding like prime Wayne.
When he came home no matter how rappity he gets, his voice and autotune or whatever is different. And he had a couple wack verses at the beginning of the decade lol.
Like his rapping is more trappy and syncopated now vs. the 2000’s when he was just GOING
Tha Drake co-sign kinda cannibalized his popularity once he fell off and Drizzy got poppin
i think the last wayne verse that had my jaw dropped was on fat albert by curren$y, not to say everything after that has been bad but that's the last time i heard wayne and was like damn that's classic weezy
He went to jail man and the fans moved on
did you just start listening to rap in 2015?
Prison is usually the worst thing to happen to rappers, they go in and come out never ever sounding the same, but Wayne was still dominant after this.
Wayne's dominance came to a screeching halt from a combination of effortless albums and birdman not letting him release anything. He was gone from the mainstream for a while.
There’s so much delusion in this thread. He just doesn’t make good enough music. That’s it.

He’s had more than a couple of those since fat Albert with the gritty crackling voice and fire bars.
y’all really stupid on here. wayne went to jail and let drake and nicki do their thing. you don’t leave society for 8 months and come back like nothing happened....
but he did and had c4 sell basically a milli too
