Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

"consistently elite"

 

[wavycrocket]

that's not the majority opinion though
Most would say carter 4 was his last good project
No Ceilings also one of his best.

You gotta realize.....Wayne has a fsnbase of dudes from like 25-35 who hold his real "prime" (02-07) in high regard. That's a lot of people.

The demo you are talking about are Wayne's "new fans"....which are youngins and pop fans.

I remember some white kids thinking Lil Wayne was a brand new rapper in 2008 :x

 

[freeze]

And I am not a human being 1 & 2

and sorry for the wait. 1 & 2

dude comes with hard tapes.




no ceilings 2 was gawd awful doh. trash juice.

I disagree about taking risks. Staying true to yourself >>> hopping on waves or totally jumping off the cliff.

Jay and Nas didn't take "risks"

Jay definitely took risks. And Nas was consistently elite, not simply good. That was the difference.

Jay took a risk when? Definitely not in his prime. Maybe we have different definitions of taking risks.

Wayne dropping a rock album is taking a risk. Kanye singing for an entire album is taking a risk.

Rapping over soul samples isn't a risk

 

[tyevvyotcu]

I would say jeezy is a great example of someone being consistent

"consistently elite"

ELITE dammit. If he ever could have gotten the right production behind him he'd likely be undisputed GOAT.

 

[JD617]

Carter 2, Dedication 2, Drought 3 were all great and then the wheels started to fall off. By the time he got to Carter 4 it was painful.

that's not the majority opinion though
Most would say carter 4 was his last good project
No Ceilings also one of his best.

Really?

I know 6'7" was a hit, but the album as a whole? Idk if I've ever heard anyone call C4 a "good project." I thought it was widely regarded as trash.

no lie I didn't know older cats messed with wayne.
of course I was young but Carter 2 was the first wayne project I've ever heard.

 

[wavycrocket]

I still remember making th official Curren$y thread in 2007 and getting like 2 replies. Now there's abig *** thread

2007-2012 all I listened to was Spitta. I seent he's doing a mixtape takeover thing again every month but I don't have time to keep up anymore.

And How Fly is a masterpiece.

I believe currensy had a hand in Wayne's development back when he was on YM round '04/05.

Dude has BEEN DOPE. But his production can be boring at times....and he leaves a lot to be desired as far as subject matter.

How Fly is the perfect mixtape to get some brain to. "Car Service" does something to women

I don't think it's trash.
IANAHB2 is trash
C4 is way better than that.
Id give C4 a 7/10 honestly. it had some gems on it

How old are you man? You keep referencing old cats. I'm 28 and was in high school x college when prime Wayne was poppin.

 

[a-friend]

At this discussion. COmpletely lost over here.

Man just put on Tribe Called Quest and you never have to buy another piece of music, EVER.

I was in elementary school when C3 dropped that's all i'm saying

@nickmaz96 a new challenger arises.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Who killed it, rewind..Nas took hella risks

If you weren't riding around bumping weezy, jeezy, tip in that era you had no swag tho

No wonder dude said I was annoying, he's like 13 

 

[rbk93]

Carter IV was probably the last Wayne releases I enjoyed.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Im not 13. Im in college

But Nas been flexing his creativity. If anything, Distant Relatives was taking a risk for him.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

since so many of y'all are nas stans... go get hip to dave east

 

[antidope]

Rick Ross doesn't get enough credit, not even close.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Dave East is legit. Him and Kristaps going to bring NY back in 2020

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I've only heard like one Dave east track but he doesn't seem like anything special. Bars was extra regular

But Nas been flexing his creativity. If anything, Distant Relatives was taking a risk for him.

Not sure what you're saying bro? I feel Nas does something risky every album

 

[MVP]

Officer Ricky doesn't get enough credit relative top who or what? I mess with Rozay heavy, just wondering in the pantheon of great rappers you have him where?
