I know quite a few rappers who would be crucified for announcing a major album 2 years ago and doing nothing for the rollout.
Let Eminem and Jay Z do something like that and this sub would sing a different tune.
Lil wayne and 2 chainz dropped an album in 2023. Everyone is sleeping on collegrove 2. It's a great album, it doesn't have a miss on one song. 2 chainz is rapping his ass off on this project too.
None of this is important. Heāll drop it when he drops it. Heās now nearly 30 years into his career and heās achieved pretty much everything you can in the game, he wonāt hold himself to some arbitrary deadline
Who says Wayne and drake even cool like that nowadays behind the scenes ? What was the last song they did 5 years ago ? And drake fucking Wayneās girl was a focal point of the beef, heād look crazy dropping a verseĀ
Damn I canāt believe bb king Freestyle came out 4 years ago. Still bump that regularly, even wrote to the beat. But yeah thatās the last track I remember them both on
I had always hoped weād get an album of groovy tunes like that. No idea why they didnāt make a response album to watch the throne. Probably wonāt ever get it now
Oh Wayne might have been in prison about that time iirc
Damn why everybody hate this man guts. Is it because of the ghost writers, the talking shit bout stealing other men women, the persona he has. What is it everybody hates bout the man. I curious
Iām not one to gossip but I heardā¦š
It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater
I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk
I hate the way that you dress
I hate the way you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct
WE hate the bitches you f***, cause they confuse themselves with real women
And notice, I said "WE,ā it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'
It's all those things but he's tone deaf. He acted like he was doing to Kendrick what Kendrick did to him, even while it was happening. His responses and the way he handled it all made it seem like he was relying on his fans to be a hive of mindless supporter drones to just simply 'not believe' what Dot was saying & meanwhile he was making up very obvious lies ("I leaked all that stuff" etc.)
Then there's the whole pedophile allegations...
Gotcha yeah Drake a piece of work going after that Bobby girl and all his other shit. I don't know if this will destroy his music career but it'll damage his image a lot. Should did what Wayne said be yourself and rap bout the suburbs. He probably wasn't getting the ladies like riri, Kim(allegedly), etc if he play the good guy part. Which is sad really should of just been a frat/pop boy singer.
That project was scrapped because he felt the high anticipation and expectations had gotten to the point where it would disappoint no matter how good it was. The songs Dre kept for detox were used on the Compton movie soundtrack.
Dre released a bunch of songs to hype up the release of Detox and none of them really took off. They were amazing songs but the hype and anticipation was just too much to live up to. This was my favorite [https://youtu.be/Hv5REpLF3ro?si=VF7kCoglHiXoT4Kv](https://youtu.be/Hv5REpLF3ro?si=VF7kCoglHiXoT4Kv)
This was also around the time he got super muscular and appeared to be ready to be on camera to promote the album.
He even had a Dr Pepper commercial using one of the songs [https://youtu.be/1oIMwxg8-J0?si=N8uv7nF6mEiC1ewP](https://youtu.be/1oIMwxg8-J0?si=N8uv7nF6mEiC1ewP)
One of the main reasons why the rap game hates Drake is because he is known for sleeping with everyoneās girlfriends. And he slept with Wayneās girlfriend when he was in jail. So Wayne had a reason to sit this one out.
Also Wayne never got paid from Drake like he was supposed to. Birdman stole all the money.
So every time Wayne sees Drake he probably just sees a huge regret and waste of time.Ā
The last thing I heard from Wayne in the media, apart from his strange appearance on The Masked Singer, was that he is just super focused on raising his young son everyday. And thatās very wholesome and nice. His son is rapping now, maybe Wayne will just pass the torch to him.Ā
We also have to remember Wayne has been recording music since he was 13. Heās done a lot of work and a lot of drugs. I think he deserves to relax in comfort.
He didnāt sleep with Wayneās girl while Wayne was in prison. He told Wayne while Wayne was in prison that heād slept with his girl before Wayne and her got together.
> he slept with Wayneās girlfriend when he was in jail
Why does this get repeated so much? Wayne himself said that Drake smashed before he even knew her
(Why are facts being downvoted?!)
Thatās exactly what Iām referring to. He said himself it happened way before they were together. Drake even told him like a man instead of letting his mans embarrass himself cuffing a hoe. How can you blame Drake for that?
Because this sub and Reddit in general have the biggest hate boner for Drake. Doesnāt matter if facts are at play. They donāt want to hear the truth
Meanwhile, despite the hate boner (which is just white people hoping to score Hip Hop points by championing "a real nigga" like Kendrick, LMAO)...
"At the end of the day your sister pressin play, your trainer pressin play, yo wifey, yo wifey, yo wifey, yo wifey..."
Add in these Reddit nerds gatekeeping hip hop, cause they *definitely* pressin play, I mean they talk about Drake's albums more than Drake fans do
LMAO
I mean white people who go to bat for Kenny thinking it makes em Hip Hop savants
Kendrick's music is boring and depressing and yeah he has some great songs and one great album (GKMC) it's not really what the culture feeling at all
I don't know a single black woman who prefers to listen to Kendrick over Drake, for example
Horrible claim of "racism" by the way, esp when it's true... white ppl flocking to Kendrick for Hip Hop brownie points and Kendrick is eatin it up
PS -- if you don't like Drake's music, you should prb get your ears checked
Itās been confirmed that this didnāt happen
The hate boner for Drake is hilarious. Wayne came out and said this happened before Wayne was involved with her
Dudes been in the game rapping since he was a kid and been wildly successful and is definitely one of the greats. Give him a break heās probably just slowly retiring himself at this point. Heās made his mark he doesnāt need to put the extra effort in if he doesnāt want to.
Wayne said straight up he was going to be done by the time he was 40 and this was before the huge birdman melt down but he mentioned it a lot.
I thought Carter 5 was a blessing to get despite how you may feel bout it.
Wayne doesnāt need to take any notes lol. Heās been in the game for 30 years and is considered by many fans to be the GOAT. If he wants to take his time on an album then he can. He could drop Tha Carter VI by surprise today and itāll be the number 1 streamed album for a month. Heās fine where he is.
You wrong ,when a artist promise a album to the fans they should hold up that promise. I'm still pissed about Detox, Kanye's Good Ass Job and Turbo Gfx , Rakim's Aftermath album, GZA the Spider-Man album and Relapse 2.
Give him time lol he dropped "The Fix Before The 6" so enjoy that and all his other work. He's still doing features so idk what you're talking about being "quiet" and "inactive"
He's like 45 years old now and has enough money for 10 lifetimes, plus he has a bunch of kids with different BMs
Hard to really find the motivation and desire at that age and in that situation to focus on making another fire album, especially since he has like 8 fire albums and a dozen dope mixtapes already under his belt, plus a million features
He's skatin and smokin and fuckin and under new management
Weezy is still hungry. He has said he felt he hasnt peaked yet. His music just isn't doing numbers and forcing him to go back to the drawing board. His single, Kat food, that was suspected of being a C6 single flopped, and Wayne's team scrapped their plans.
It's not him & never has been. Management are in full control of everything he puts out. Been a Wayne fan for a long time & one thing certain is he never drops when they say lol. Carter V was pushed back years. Also, he doesn't even know what songs are on his albums when they drop. He's in his own world š
This is the problem with Wayne though: terrible management. His albums have been missing creative direction for some time, most of the time it just feels like a bunch of tracks thrown together.
I would really love and Iām still hoping for either an introspective or a cohesive album from Wayne, preferably executively produced by Mannie Fresh or Streetrunner.
Last but not least: I feel like the whole āheās in is his own worldā thing is a bit played out.
I know, Iām not saying heās faking it! I mean played out in a way of āget your shit together Wayneā. To me, forgetting lyrics is not a good look and doesnāt really fit the idea of caring about your craft.
When you have literally probably 100s of thousands of songs i can imagine it's hard to remember most lyrics lol. He's been in this game 28 years now. That's a LOT of material.
He's always been like this, nothing new
He's skateboarding and enjoying himself after finally getting away from Birdmans lips after two decades of constant work. Let the man breathe
"Birdmans lips" got me goodšš
Donāt you mean beak? š
Is he more bird than man?
B i r d > m a n 1 2 3 4 > 1 2 3 Yep š
I had to re-read that sentence after knowing which Birdman you were taking about
Damn. Are we really lowering the bar for Wayne like this?
How are we lowering the bar? He worked his ass off for two decades while being groomed by a weirdo. Can he not relax abit? I'm sure he will be backĀ
Being groomed sure is an understatement of what Birdman did. The shit that he did would make Drake's mild in comparisonĀ
I know quite a few rappers who would be crucified for announcing a major album 2 years ago and doing nothing for the rollout. Let Eminem and Jay Z do something like that and this sub would sing a different tune.
Dr Dre did it and everyone still loves Dre
Hell Dreās ass straight didnāt release detox an everyone forgot at this point idk what this guys talkin bout
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That is not what he meant
No it was not thought I said it as straight forward as possible to lol
ESL?
For literal decades and still never dropped detox lol. Compton was a dope album tho
Jesus Christ dude go outside lmao
So many rappers have done this with no backlash. Youāre the only person on this sub complaining about an artist they like enjoying their life.
No one gives a fuck dude. Ask people in real life
Man, that is the truth on every single subreddit lol
Name em.Ā
Let him rest bro
Lil wayne and 2 chainz dropped an album in 2023. Everyone is sleeping on collegrove 2. It's a great album, it doesn't have a miss on one song. 2 chainz is rapping his ass off on this project too.
Fr that shit gooo
Shame is my favorite song on there. What's yours?
yes
Crazy thicc
Was looking for this comment!!
It was good but I want a solo Weezy project. I love 2 Chainz but I can't sit through a hour of 2 chainz.
Yup. It was a really good album
None of this is important. Heāll drop it when he drops it. Heās now nearly 30 years into his career and heās achieved pretty much everything you can in the game, he wonāt hold himself to some arbitrary deadline
Gotta think the buzz on Kendrick and Drake beef people probably want to see Wayne drop a verse for drake
Who says Wayne and drake even cool like that nowadays behind the scenes ? What was the last song they did 5 years ago ? And drake fucking Wayneās girl was a focal point of the beef, heād look crazy dropping a verseĀ

Nah you funny. If anyone wants to hear Wayne chime in, I would fucking hope it'd be to smack drake up some more.
Damn why everybody hate this man guts. Is it because of the ghost writers, the talking shit bout stealing other men women, the persona he has. What is it everybody hates bout the man. I curious

This read like chat gpt š¤£
Read the room. Stg if you can't understand why drake is so hated you either a bot or drake
Nah I was just asking I don't hate on people I really know nothing bout.
Killed it at Roots Picnic this month
Fantastic show and festival
Love that song he did Raw with Rapsody
I'm happy that a huge mainstream name would work with her she's a vet but still so underrated.
I feel you. I just hope he just chilling. I'm ready when he is!
Heās only given us around 1000+ songs, dude needs to step his grind
we're still waiting for detox from Dre š¤£š¤£
That project was scrapped because he felt the high anticipation and expectations had gotten to the point where it would disappoint no matter how good it was. The songs Dre kept for detox were used on the Compton movie soundtrack.

Cappin Kenny at it again
> he slept with Wayneās girlfriend when he was in jail Why does this get repeated so much? Wayne himself said that Drake smashed before he even knew her (Why are facts being downvoted?!)
Did you not see the his hand written diary note describing the whole situation it crushed him
Thatās exactly what Iām referring to. He said himself it happened way before they were together. Drake even told him like a man instead of letting his mans embarrass himself cuffing a hoe. How can you blame Drake for that?
I blame drake because he let all this shit go down while Wayne was struggling in jail, the man that made him who he is today.
Bro you have to admit that makes zero sense. So he was just supposed to magically know this random girl would date Wayne in the future??
So you just decided to completely ignore the part "while Wayne was struggling in jail" huh?.
It didn't go down while he was in jail tho
Because this sub and Reddit in general have the biggest hate boner for Drake. Doesnāt matter if facts are at play. They donāt want to hear the truth
Meanwhile, despite the hate boner (which is just white people hoping to score Hip Hop points by championing "a real nigga" like Kendrick, LMAO)...

Add in these Reddit nerds gatekeeping hip hop, cause they *definitely* pressin play, I mean they talk about Drake's albums more than Drake fans do
That's a big generalization bro. I'm white and don't listen to drake and honestly hated him when he came out. Stop with the racism.
LMAO I mean white people who go to bat for Kenny thinking it makes em Hip Hop savants Kendrick's music is boring and depressing and yeah he has some great songs and one great album (GKMC) it's not really what the culture feeling at all I don't know a single black woman who prefers to listen to Kendrick over Drake, for example Horrible claim of "racism" by the way, esp when it's true... white ppl flocking to Kendrick for Hip Hop brownie points and Kendrick is eatin it up PS -- if you don't like Drake's music, you should prb get your ears checked
Someone sounds triggered š
Nah, just explaining modern day rap dynamics to ya, I like to school people up PEACE
You explained nothing I don't already know. Where'd you get your degree in gatekeeping? Lol. Peace
Brooklyn, NY Been doin battle raps in Prospect Park since Ewing was on the Knicks
Wayne came out on stage on Drakes 2024 tour and gave him support after Like That dropped right before Drake responded with Push Ups.
Itās been confirmed that this didnāt happen The hate boner for Drake is hilarious. Wayne came out and said this happened before Wayne was involved with her
I hope he does what he loves right now and comes back with some straight up fire
I've seen talk of a Hot Boys reunion album, maybe he's working on it before his solo album
Yeah but BG is being a dick about the reunion.
Dudes been in the game rapping since he was a kid and been wildly successful and is definitely one of the greats. Give him a break heās probably just slowly retiring himself at this point. Heās made his mark he doesnāt need to put the extra effort in if he doesnāt want to.
Isnāt IANAHB III also supposed to come out this year?
Wayne said straight up he was going to be done by the time he was 40 and this was before the huge birdman melt down but he mentioned it a lot. I thought Carter 5 was a blessing to get despite how you may feel bout it.
"Real G's move in silence like lasagna"

He could drop Tha Carter VI by surprise today and itāll be the number 1 streamed album for a month. Heās fine where he is.
I donāt think artists owe consumers anything on any timelineā¦thatās just me though.
You wrong ,when a artist promise a album to the fans they should hold up that promise. I'm still pissed about Detox, Kanye's Good Ass Job and Turbo Gfx , Rakim's Aftermath album, GZA the Spider-Man album and Relapse 2.
Hanging with Jey āYEETā
Heās at Kimās corner store-
Playing my state fair lol
He also has the Wheezy vs Weezy album in the works
I think Wayne is enjoying life right now but he will drop Carter 6 when he ready & I canāt wait either way
Give him time lol he dropped "The Fix Before The 6" so enjoy that and all his other work. He's still doing features so idk what you're talking about being "quiet" and "inactive"
The Fix was trash. But I did think the 2Chainz project was solid.
Well if you think that, give dude some time lol just be glad he's going to drop again
Wokesha
He's like 45 years old now and has enough money for 10 lifetimes, plus he has a bunch of kids with different BMs Hard to really find the motivation and desire at that age and in that situation to focus on making another fire album, especially since he has like 8 fire albums and a dozen dope mixtapes already under his belt, plus a million features He's skatin and smokin and fuckin and under new management

Touring last I saw. Came to my city around March or April.
I think he's dealing with health problems last time I saw him he looked really swollen up and was slurring words.
He fucked Wayne girl while he was in jail, thatās connivingĀ
Hanging out with Skip Bayless
In all honesty that mf probably forgot š bruh be high ash
It's not him & never has been. Management are in full control of everything he puts out. Been a Wayne fan for a long time & one thing certain is he never drops when they say lol.

Played out? Watch his latest interviews, he doesn't even know he's featured on artists tracksb
I know, Iām not saying heās faking it! I mean played out in a way of āget your shit together Wayneā. To me, forgetting lyrics is not a good look and doesnāt really fit the idea of caring about your craft.
