Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Wayne’s descent really falls in two things: consistently wack music for 10 years and his inability to grow with his audience. No Ceilings was the really the cut off between peak Wayne and everything since. It’s wild. Because I remember back around 2011-2012 between I Am Not a Human Being 1 & 2 and C4, a lot of people claiming he hadn’t dropped a good project since No Ceilings and here we are 10 years removed from it and he still hasn’t dropped a solid project until C5 and that still left a lot to be desired but because it’s Wayne and we’ve been wanting to see him win with a project for so long we graded it on a curve.

Then there’s the fact that his music never grew outside of “p—y, money, weed” for the most part. I know Wayne is still relatively young at 35, but we’re in the age of Life Is Good and 4:44 where we want to see our rappers age gracefully and speaker their truth that comes with it. Hell people celebrated j Cole for a song about folding clothes :lol:

Point is, many of Wayne’s fans from the 2000s have grown up, gotten careers, houses, and started families. None of them need to hear 35 year old Wayne still rapping about stuff they were on 10-15 years ago and the new generation has younger, cooler representations of that they can identify with.

It’s a shame because prime Wayne is one of my favorite rappers ever, but he just ain’t it anymore. That and the lifestyle really hit him hard. I hate to see it.

Yeah, TI, Gucci and Jeezy grew up. Wayne still is in the same place, just with less hair. With all the stuff he's been through like seizures(ODing), he's talking about getting shot when he was a kid over 20 years ago?

But that's what happens when your music wasn't substance based from the beginning.
