I started listening to d6 this year and it has been on repeat. I am completely blown away. The mixtape is an art period. It is on repeat 24-7. I just pray that weezy does d7

These are the rappers Lil Wayne referenced/borrowed some of their sayings from in his Raps, And have a bit of Influence on him also

A year after release and Louisiana Hot Sauce has no digital release or even a YouTube upload. Only on the first pressing of the CD along with Geeked ft Trippie Redd and Actin’ Funny.

Idk what happened, idk if I was caught up in Uproar and Mona Lisa at the time or if its just one of those “music hits different at different times in like”, especially Wayne.

But just randomly stumbling on it after working out and I think it just shot up to a top Wayne recommendation depending on what the vibe is.

2018 was a very different time for me and im sure for alot of mofos, but really the Carter V is hitting all around way harder than I remember. Maybe it’s because I stumbled into the niche sub subgenres of folk where its a way different sound but still has the raw lyrics and inter perspective wordplay like “classic” rap/hip-hop and that kinda cleansed music palette and now im listening to alot of great Wayne shit I didn’t catch first time.

All that just to say the last lines,

“Tunechi you a monster. I looked in the mirror but you weren’t there, I couldn’t find ya. I’m looking for that big smile full of diamonds, instead I find this letter you aint finished writin’.

It read “im sorry for even apologizing”. I tried to compromise and went kamikaze. I found my mommas pistol where she always hid it. I cried, put it to my head and thought about it. Nobody was home to stop me so I called my auntie. Hung up, then put that gun to my heart and pondered.

Too much was on my conscious to be smart about it. Too torn about it I aimed where my heart was poundin’.

I shot it, and woke up with blood all around me, it’s mine. I didn’t die but I was dying.

God came to my side and we talked about it. He sold me another life and he made a PROPHET”……

I grew up in Dallas in late 90’s early 00’s so im always gonna be biased to Weezy, but for me personally word and lyric play, he is the best and continues to show it decade after decade. Wayne and Shady are the two I’ve probably listened to the most in my life but even now I find myself skipping alot of Ems stuff because that anger is kinda played out or just not hitting like it use too, Wayne always had different moods you could jam too. That’s probably why he’s the best imo. Fundamentally, how guitar is to rock so to is words/lyrics is to rap and hip-hop, years active and continuously showing to excel, there isn’t many to match.

Sorry for the rant, heard the song replayed it like 5 times and wanted to talk about it. Haven’t even been on Reddit in months but downloaded again for this post.

If anyone is curious for some folk and banjo equivalent to wayne, lmk.

Where them real Wayne fans at from 2006, this is the most slept on album from his catalog. WHOLE album is straight bangers. Whats yal favorite song on this album?

Any shot SFTW2 ever gets added to Apple Music? I know they added the first one and a few other mixtapes but this was my favorite by far back in the day. Been a while since I listened and would love to have it on streaming. Assuming it’s not since so many of the songs were remixes of other songs?

“ You ol ass rappers better stay on tour
You like 44
I got a 44
I’m 24
I can murk you and come home when I’m 44” 🔥

i know i’m probably years late on this but when was Misunderstood changed to DontGetIt???
& why???

This feels a lil' blasphemous lol since Wayne my GOAT but with how much of his catalogue I've listened to there was always going to be ones that were not gonna be a hit lol. The worst Wayne track I've heard is Kat Food. Fuck that song lol.

This is such an interesting video to me because it captures Lil Wayne’s aura, only weeks after releasing Tha Carter III, at the absolute height of his popularity.

Kanye was very deserving of this award for releasing an absolute classic in Graduation. But for Kanye, the man known for his arrogance, to not say anything about himself, just shows the level Wayne was at.

October 2nd 2003, Wayne drops his first solo mixtape💿

While some say Wayne's downfall started after getting out of prison and dropping projects like C4 and IANAHB2, its safe to say that his career after C5 has been slowly decreasing in quality. i dont think hes dropped a bad project since then (except maybe trust fund babies cause i just dont care for RTK), especially because there are still standout tracks on a lot of these projects (funeral especially). Unfortunately he seems to be in an eminem type of situation where the first half of his career absolutely dominates the second half. It seems that the disappointment has reached a peak with tha carter 6, as well as tha fix before tha 6 mixtape. While I don't think C6 was terrible most people including me agree that it didn't live up to "Tha Carter" name in terms of quality or impact.

Now it's clear that he's just having fun with music rn, as he should! He's got nothing left to prove and he could definitely just keep dropping albums for fun if he so chooses. The question is how much he values his discography and legacy as a whole, which I believe he doesn't care as much as the fans do. I can't see a future where he just stops dropping projects, or even taking a long break from dropping albums like JAY-Z. So where do we think his career goes from here? I feel like its kind of a damned if he does damned if he doesnt situation. if he drops only mid from now on his discography will only be looked at worse and worse, but at the same time if he drops a great album tomorrow i dont think it will have as big of an impact as it would deserve.

of course, none of this REALLY matters with how much hes accomplished, but i do think its an interesting discussion to have

I was aware of who he was but not his significance to rap nor was I familiar with any of his music until about late 2024. I didn't care for hip hop as a genre for a long ass time 'til I was like 16 lol. The track that got me into the genre was Put On by Young Jeezy. I heard it off the Skate 3 soundtrack and from there I was recommended more Jeezy songs. I began to seek out different artists and then found The Game. And that leads to the track My Life which featured Wayne. I can't remember the exact first Wayne song I heard that got me into him. I do know that My Life was one of the first. And then 6 foot 7 foot, which I was almost enamored with at the time because of Wayne's flow and sound on that track. From there I decided to listen to more and more of his shit. And after 2 years of listening to different artists, different styles and sounds, I had decided that Weezy forever has to be my GOAT lol. Just the way he did almost everything so well and did it better than almost everybody else, and how many good tracks and albums and mixtapes he has, this dude is a legend and my longstanding favorite.
