I'm not talking about most successful in terms of sales specifically, but what was his most career defining moment in music?
A Milli is an option because of how huge of in impact it had in rap. I have never seen more rappers freestyle over than instrumental than this one in the history of Hip Hop. It highlighted the respect that industry and the culture had for Wayne.
Lollipop had a similar effect, but from a commercial standpoint. It propelled Wayne as a superstar pop culture icon. There are very few rap songs to date that has the mainstream success of Lollipop. It also, to many, marked the beginning of Wayne's artistic decline into autotune mediocrity that many of those whom were influenced by would find themselves in. This was "Weezy"
The Block is Hot was his first single and what most refer to as "Vintage Wayne". No gimmicks. Just a young dreaded rapper from New Orleans with all the potential in the world.
Back That Azz Up was definable for Wayne, to this very day, as he came on the tail end of the song (and mainstream relevance) of his Cash Money predecessors. What "wobbildy Wobbildy drop it like it's hot" did to clubs for over a decade cannot be understated. And to those who demand lyricism from rappers, this would be an ever-haunting challenge to Wayne to be more of a lyricist than his simplistic catchy finale on Juvenile's smash hit would suggest.

Georgia Bush has to be up there.

Back That Azz Up (Juvenile)There is an other option... but I'm not asking what his best song was lyrically. I'm asking, as the general consensus of Wayne is in the 19 years he's been rapping, what song has defined his career the most?
In what world is Fireman more impactful on Wayne's career than A Millie or Lollipop?? dont even have fireman on it -
Fireman regained commercial respect for him but lollipop had him crossover to pop stardom

Back that Azz up got him popping regionally. Fireman came during his mixtape run as a mainstream single that tied him as a top tier mainstream rapper coast to coast. If Back that Azz up was such a big song for wayne commercially Carter 1 would have been his Carter 3 as far as it's first week sales. On the contrary the steam from Fireman and even the final hits of Carter 1 pushed wayne to the top of the commerical game. -

Now we getting somewhere.
When did he lose respect prior to Fireman? -
LollipopTerrible options. Personal favorite is his Dear Summer freestyle
it's not about favorite songs tho. it's about what song was most significant in his career. -

You clearly don't know what crossover means. You can't have a "NY crossover" and a "east coast cross over". You either have a crossover hit or you don't -

I'm not arguing that Back That Azz Up was "big" for Wayne commercially. I'm saying it encapsulates his career with Cash Money and what he's capable even with his most minimal effort. -

I really dont care though to even argue anything. I'm just here to tell you your poll sucks that's all.
