Oct 16, 2017 All from 2005-2007 And that's just scratching the surface when it comes to Wayne from 2005-2007
Oct 16, 2017 It's also not really about sales. C2 is a great album, so it kicked off a run when he followed it up with great albums/mixtapes/features/remixes, etc. Not to mention he's the GOAT of wordplay/puns/punchlines/similes/metaphors
Oct 16, 2017 he said "I'm the best rapper alive" on the end of Tha Carter II The hip hop community said "prove it" He smirked, and proceeded to blow everyone away again and again and prove it.
Oct 16, 2017 GOAT of punchlines and oneliners theres many more people with better wordplay including em tho
Oct 16, 2017 How dropping a bunch of songs does not make it a run. I can’t give someone a run when other rappers are doing way better than you that year. That’s why I can’t give Wayne a run in 2005 or 2006, 2007 when I think about
Oct 16, 2017 Dude has mad impressive wordplay all over everything he's done, but there are a lot of clever rappers I've heard
Oct 16, 2017 Exactly my point if it was much he would’ve went number 1 how much did it sell first week? Probably 100k
Oct 16, 2017 yeah he's the most consistent for sure Why does any of this matter, lil wayne changed hip hop forever undeniably who cares how much c2 sold c3 sold mil first week
Oct 16, 2017 Look, i'm tired of trying to get this through to you when you're basically arguing with facts, so imma show you this picture from a Complex article of the best rapper alive every year since 1979, and it'll speak for itself, because even though Complex is s---, this is a good read. And this is quoted explaining why they chose Wayne "CREDENTIALS: 2005's Tha Carter II, Like Father, Like Son, Dedication 2, barrage of guest verses including "Gimmie That," "Make It Rain," and "You" At the tail end of 2005, Lil Wayne dropped his best solo LP, Tha Carter II. The album featured a cut called "Best Rapper Alive," which seemed like another empty boast, but Wayne wasn't being cocky—he just realized his arrival before the rest of us did. After Tha Carter II, Weezy started his absolutely ridiculous run, highlighted by Dedication 2 and his joint album with Birdman, Like Father, Like Son, both of which featured some of the best rapping of his soon-to-be illustrious career. More importantly, his mastery on the mic gave him the confidence to feel his way through any beat and interact with it as he saw fit. Once he started experimenting with more and more styles, the results were fascinating. It wasn't obvious then, but in retrospect he laid the groundwork for everyone's favorite version of Tunechi: Coke Rapper Weezy, Drugged-Out Weezy, Mainstream Weezy, Mixtape Weezy, etc. With confidence came comfort, and with comfort Wayne's personality shined through as he talked more about his love of SportsCenter, motorcycles, and all things New Orleans. His rhymes made him famous, but his "Murder the adults and let the kids get adopted" approach to fame made him a superstar."
Oct 16, 2017 I didn’t say it mattered I was just making a case for why I can’t give him a run in 2005 or 2006. Yea he sold 1 mil in 2008 that’s why I gave him a run in 2008, and it’s not like he was the first rapper to do so.
Oct 16, 2017 Literally the only people who could keep up with Wayne in his run was Ye and T.I back in 2006. I just dont know how you can act like 2006-2007 wasnt probably Wayne's best years creatively.
Oct 16, 2017 actually I don’t I just feel you can’t have a run when a lot of rappers are doing better than you that year. Wayne will always be trash to me and he’s even worse now, and y’all complain about em falling off smh
Oct 16, 2017 Wayne was the largest rapper on earth in 2006 lmao if we're being real his run started in 04 with C1, Chance never had a number one album but he's on a run rn so I don't see how your logic holds up in the slightest
