sad he don't even call himself that anymore. he knows he fell off. i think after jail he really wanted to retire but its just tez, birdman and slim making him continue rapping.
I will give him from The Suffix til No Ceilings, Ye and Jay was tearing ? up in 03 and 04.
But we should have paid attention to the writing on the wall when he came home and did the interview with XXL and said “This is coming from a rapper. One of the best rappers. I ain’t saying I’m the best no more, because these ? is too good these days. I got old.” He aint got the hunger to be the best no more, he caked up.

03 04 and 05 belonged to 50, gunit, and shady. Stop trying to rewrite history. Wayne started poppin in 06/07
05-09 he was that ? how is that rewriting history? Thats factual. You one of them late bandwagon ? LOL @ 06/07
In 05 50, game, ye, jeezy and all of the htown scene was all more popular than Wayne. Wayne really ain't start dominatin till after tha carter 2 came out.
Carter 2 came out in 05 though
Wayne was still doing his thing on a underground level and was getting respect especially after C1
it came out the end of 05, Lil Wayne's rise to the top started 06, Recipe is a Lil Wayne stan so he's gonna nosign this. i agree with idoitforhiphop, Lil Wayne's reign on top started after GUnit, Dipset, Nelly, Jay, Ludacris fell off
Liked his music from 400 Degreez to Lights Out, and then from Suffix to No Ceilings, I guess that makes me a stan.
IC logic is if you defend any rapper you automatically a stan smh.
Sad thing is I aint even cappin for him just stating facts. -

making false and illogical statements because you can't bare the fact that your favorite rapper didn't blow up sooner is stanning. Nobody in the right mind would say Lil Wayne was the biggest rap artists before 2006 -
Smh ya Wayne stans are delusional. Wayne wasn't even hot like that in 04. ? Banks was hotter than Wayne in 2004. Even Tip was hotter. Wayne didn't start gettin recognition till the top of 06, a lil after c2 dropped.

lmao at Lil Wayne ruling the airwaves in 04, lmao like 50 Cent/GUnit, Eminem/Shady, Jay-Z, and Kanye didn't existThe Recipe wrote: »

with tha carter and dedication and those verses with DC. he was popping.

I can never understand why people on this board have such a hard time accepting Weezy? Some of you are saying that when was at his best and evolving as an artist, he wasn't even that big of a deal, and no one was paying attention to him (which is not true) And now you're saying that when he finally became big, it wasn't even anything special, cause there was no competition? (which again, is not true)
I could share examples of people's interest in Weezy, including the buzz he had on the street for his mixtapes. I could mention the publications and articles that reported on his growing stardom. I could even bring up the singles he was featured on, that charted between 06-08. But ya'll already've made up their minds about him...and it's not worth trying to convince people living in denial of his accomplishments. smh No matter what we say or do, ya'll won't give Weezy credit for anything ... what a shame, smh -

yes. he was gonna sign to Roc right after the Carter. But he fell for the ? "you gonna be president" statement birdman and slim said to him -
Difference between stanning and just stating facts and having a debate. yall know this smh.
-
keyword is he saying after. and its partly true tho. ever since then he got bigger and bigger so how is that now true. yeah g-unit was doing their thing but wayne was starting to be a star.
-
Kanye West during that era>>>Wayne during that era.
Wayne was a decent rapper between 05-07 then he got lazy once he realized his fans would eat up anything he puts out. -

ok and....? Facts are he excelled during a time when they was a vacuum in rap. You all are gonna bend over backwards but this is the truth. the thread is about his mainstream dominance which was during the late 00s. You got Recipe saying he ruled the airwaves in 04 which is completely false. 06-11 was the peak of Lil Wayne's dominance -

Who's discrediting him? Nobody (including me) never denied that he was hot, in fact i said he was hot in 2006, we're just correcting certain ? false assessment of the time period.

well IMO, I would say it was bad because it helped to popularize "flooding the market". I'm not a Lil Wayne fan so I don't really care for his music. I think his best album is C1 and i think C3 is trash so...... *shrugs*
there are few if any artists that blow up simply because of music, a big reason why Lil Wayne began to dominate was because other rappers falling off, this isn't really a knock. Just like DMX and Jay-Z didn't blow up until they did -
I don't buy this being a "weak" era for mainstream hip hop. If you wanna complain about the quality of music, that's one thing, but there was never a shortage of big name or breakout rappers during this time. Just look at the sales for 2008....
Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III 2.8 Million
T.I. – Paper Trail 1.5 million
Kanye West -808s & Heartbreak 1 million
Rick Ross – Trilla 709k
Young Jeezy – The Recession 706k
The Game – LAX 633k
Plies – Definition of Real 552k
Ludacris – Theater Of The Mind 439k
Nas – Untitled 428k
Snoop Dogg – Ego Trippin 379k
Flo-Rida – Mail On Sunday 356
In that one year, you had releases from established rappers like Luda and Na, and artists who had already broken out and won over numbers of fans (Jeezy, T.I., Game, Rick Ross). Weezy just came out on top. And why? Maybe you can say that there was a vacuum - and fans were sorely looking for an artist to fill the void. But there was also the fact that for a span of at least two years, Weezy was steadily gaining attention and saturating the market with his own material. By the time Carter 3 had arrived, he managed to build a huge amounts of anticipation. The fact is, Weezy was the hardest working rapper in the industry at that time; and he delivered some pretty impressive joints around this period <<--- that had more to do with his eventual success than anything else. Let there be no mistake, there was competition during those years, but his work ethic and the quality of his work shined above it.
So again, what's up for debate here? -
