Now that time has caught up with him, and its 2011, he can't pull the scheme that he's been pulling over rap since C2.
Wayne said himself he can't rap like he use toOriginally Posted by DipsetGeneral
*Sighs*
90% of NT'ers listen to conscious rap anyway. (Talib Kweli, Brother Ali, Mos Def & etc.)
When the Drought 3 dropped, he even said he had to "re-invent" himself.�
I admit myself, he has some gimmicky-corny rhymes. "Gucci-Gucci,�Louie-Louie, Fendi-Fendi, Prada, my homies got that white girl, call it Lady Gaga"
But who doesn't say corny rhymes today? Eminem? Jay? Ye? Ross? Drizzy? the list goes on....
I don't think Wayne has lost it, but I think his flow has jus' changed over the years, that's all. I will purchase C4 on�Monday, cause I know Tune gon' have some bangers on there. You can't tell ya'll listened to this song off of "Sorry 4 The Wait" and tell me he ain't go silly on it...

"I win at life, Charlie Sheen"
"I get dough, call me a bakery"
Wow, amazing work. Come on, enough with these weak similes/metaphors and 'one two, buckle my shoe' rhyme schemes.
He has better metaphors than that, tho lol

When he was on that
"And I'm dumpin my Scarlet O'Hara in the canal/cause I'm not gettin stopped with cop paraphenil'/now I'm preparing the L/Not preparing to fail/cause my flow is for real like the Sahara in Hell....
The subarbs/radio stations/people who generate money weren't trying to hear it. Hustler Musik (his hardest single to date) only reached 87 on the hot 100...Then Lollipop shot straight to number 1.
It's a shame, but obviously his current style is catering to the charts.

...right now though, he's definitely turning in his grave

His reputation precedes him so no matter what he says people will eat it up. Imo BM JR is THE hardest wayne song I've ever heard, you can tell he took it serious, but he was still having fun. I wouldn't be surprised if wayne farted on a track and made a metaphor about how he's the "feces". He dunbed it down and people love it.
Wayne isnt for everyone either. If you're a rap "elitist" that enjoys stories in rhymes, looks for a point/ message, then you won't get that from him. He's basically a glorified battle rapper. Random punchile/ bragging rap. He wasn't always that way, but that's what he has become.
This would be true........IF people were losing interest. He's still as big as ever though, but I do see how he has changed.Originally Posted by djryan614
I don't see it as Wayne "lost" it, just people are starting to lose interest. He seems to have hit the same wall Curtis hit, where they are hot for awhile, then the "formula" stops working. Then people start calling it wack. Then all of a sudden, nobody cares anymore. Nelly as well. You start off fast, then you"Weezin" in the back. Just my thoughts.
