Lil Wayne – Dedication 5 (Mixtape Review)

     

    Lil WayneDedication 5 (Mixtape Review)  DX Consensus: “EP-Worthy”

    In the “How Dedicated” intro to Dedication 5, Lil Wayne said that the Dedication mixtape series has meant the same thing that it always has, but many of the Rap legend’s devotees would disagree. In the first two DJ Drama-helmed projects from 2005 and 2006, a hungry Weezy revolutionized the mixtape game and took his strongest strides into superstardom before beginning his reign as the biggest rapper in the world. But the last two installments exemplify fans’ problem with Wayne since then: an assumed complacency with his fame.

    Less than two weeks before D5’s release, Wayne tweeted an apology to his fans for not being nominated for any Video Music Awards or BET Awards, with a promise to work harder “if it kills (him).” On the fifth volume of The Dedication, Wayne shows the competitiveness that fueled his ascension, and the bad habits that took him down a few notches.

    On glimpses throughout the tape, Wayne revisits what made the original Dedication series so effective: album quality original songs and creative reinventions of radio hits, showcasing his jazz-tinged delivery and wit. The highlights here easily outdo Dedication 3 and Dedication 4. He lends a variety of flows to Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” on “Don’t Kill,” and he fearlessly attacks Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” to deliver one of his most enjoyable performances of the past few years. Thankfully, the visibility of a Lil Wayne Dedication mixtape is still valuable, so most of the cameos on D5 are done with that in mind. Chicago youngster Chance The Rapper contributes his unique vocals to “You Song,” Vado bodies Meek Mill’s “Levels,” and “America’s Most Wanted” tour mate T.I. delivers a trio of strong 16s to the tape. New Young Money signee Euro also shows promise on several songs.

    Still, much of Dedication 5 detracts from the series’ legacy. With a 29-song track list—which may also be a factor in Wayne’s renewed hunger—some of that negative ratio is a matter of volume. On “Started” and “New Slaves,” Wayne is mimicking the original songs’ flows more than tackling them in a new way. Weak lines like, “had a phone in jail, that’s a cell phone” and “I’ll have people looking for you, like a reason” show Wayne’s regression. The highlights are enjoyable, but too many songs fade into the background, making it a chore to find D5’s gems.

    Outside of Wayne’s rhymes, Dedication 5 also falls out of line with the Dedication series for other reasons. Many of the industry beats Wayne tackles aren’t the actual beats, but redone versions of them. The approach was likely done to avoid clearance issues, but it makes the tape feel a bit incomplete compared to its predecessors. Plus, despite DJ Drama’s name on the cover, his adlibs and narration are notably minimized. Some fans will enjoy the smaller amount of DJ hosting, but a long-winded project like this could use Drama’s energy—especially considering the legacy of the Dedication series.

    To Wayne’s credit, Dedication 5 is the best the series has showcased since its legendary sequel from seven years ago, even if it pales in comparison. Occasionally, the YMCMB head honcho shows that he still has a portion of the skills that earned him his spot among rap’s elite. If he can find recapture the consistency from that same era, he won’t have to apologize to his fans for much longer.

    1. who tha fuck is these hiphopdx people man??? stwww i seriously donno why i come here every morning.
      how can you say something like this?? wtf
      “ook his strongest strides into superstardom before beginning his reign as the biggest rapper in the world.”

    2. Use to be a wayne fan. Not anymore. Dedication 3 & 4, IANAHB 1 & 2, Tha Carter 4 etc…all were complete trash. I literally deleted each of them after listening to them..couldn’t even make my way through most of the albums in their entirety.

      1. Makes perfect sense… but I don’t know how you get a cell in there… unless someone is constantly smuggling in extra charged batteries.

      2. That line was ill. Cause its more about what he did (Having a cellphone in jail. which is BIG) than the actual punchline itself.

    3. They tried to put me in a cell too so i can relate. BUT this mixtape is whacker than Juicy album. So im gonna leave it up to the fans…who should i shoot next? Juicy J or Weezy? #WhoShotYa

    4. I’m a close friend of Lil Wayne so I can confirm no one raps like Lil Weezy. he doesnt even use paper. he just spits fire in da studio… da lyrics is in his mind, he is a real MC for real. top 5 dead or alive. swag

    5. Addeum: I got paid by Jay Z to pan this. In reality, it shows everything that made Wayne a legend. No duds at all on this mixtape and it makes me look forward to tha carter 5. BTW, wayne’s the real carter and not Jay Z.

    6. Gave up on wayne long time ago. Carter 2 n all the mixtape stuff from that era classic shit but hes embarrassing to listen to now jeggings tight clothes awkward skateboarding weirdo type nigga.

      He still claiming blood gang? get da fuck out my face

    7. Don’t hate on him because of his choices in life. Father and son kissing is natural and normal, wearing jeggings is a new trend going around, skateboarding is popular to straight men as well, and his music gets better and better.

    8. I agree with this review. These haters don’t even listen to this & say this is bad. Even if they listened to it they’d still say it’s bad even if htey know it ain’t

    9. idk what you guys are hearin this mixtape is straight fire such an improvement since he got outta jail. if you hatin you just need some pussy.

    10. Not gonna front, Wayne did a great job on this mixtape. He had something to prove, and he did. Of course it’s no C2 or D2, but what rapper can rap like this now a days? D5 was a great project for the fans, you can till he still got hunger on him.

      This guy been rapping for over than 20 years and he still spits harder than these new cats out here who act “hungry” for this rap game. He is a living legend, not a lot of people realize that lately because of the hate bandwagon…but when this guy retire or die, he will be remembered as a legend.

      1. Umm yeah…Jayz should of retired after the black album leaving kanye to run this shit but Wayne is way young, full of time to continue growing and getting deeper with his rhymes. It sounds like yall aren’t listening and are being annoyed more than anything that this guy still here..I won’t front he has quite a few tracks aint worth losing my hearing to but Wayne always has a silver lining of a couple tracks that show why he’s still here and why we still listen… Even the haters… Let’s be honest if he was really so wack he would have no attention paid and would drop from our tunes completely… Look at fatjoe, ja rule, Eminem which he still prime but his fans were saying he fell off too. basically anyone that been in the game for a little bit fell off.. yet Wayne still pushin…pusha t only way to stay relevant is to talk about Wayne. think people

      1. “Bitch come kill my time, but bitch don’t steal my shine, i’m cooking up 2 quarters bout to get rich or die trying”

      1. hating for no reason? you cant be serious!

        this nicca is a fruitcake with weak ass bars i think thats pretty good reason to hate

    11. oh no not again
      when is this guy gonna give it up
      he was just a trend

      wake up weeze it’s over, your career that is.
      No room for your shit in the rap game with niggaz like cole and K. Dot

      1. Lame-o still worshipping J Coal? Man you must have that rock so far up your rear end it’s coming out sideways.

    12. Amazing. Wayne really stepped his game up since the last projects, which were bad. You close minded & biased haters just can’t hear that.

    13. I like the “I have my people looking for you like a reason, cause niggas always looking for a reason, even if a reason to love or hate…Now he do have alot bars that weak but he has alot that only Wayne would think of and alot that are really nice

    14. SOme songs were stronger than others but atleast he is fully commited in the studio again . i mean what other artist goes on tour and releases a mixtape . Give credit were its due . Lets not just hate just because wayne puttin out more music then most or all of your favorite artist including jay z kendrick lamar even eminem this includes pretty much everyone and excludes no one

    15. Honestly the only artists right now that desrve a title like wayne has the past couple of years is drake not even kendrick i mean hes nice but i mean how long have we known him for all we know in a couple years were gunna here oh kendrick fell off

    17. Wayne kilt this mixtape. It’s been a while but this is on the level with Drought 3. Hate if u want cuz he’s a weirdo or whatever these days but he can clearly still put together clever bars better than anyone other than Eminem and that’s about it. For every weak line he drops about 6 that are fire. The featured artists arent great but Nobody can listen to this shit and honestly think Wayne isn’t nice.

      1. uhh yes we can. wayne is absolutely god awful these days. he was so so when hot boyz first got big. then he started improving in the early 2000’s, culminating in him hitting his peak in 2006-2008. then he oversaturated the marker and ran out of rhymes. WAYNE FUCKING BLOWS NOW. GET OVER IT DICK RIDERS!!!!!!

    18. Blows away D3 and D4, absolutely a step in the right direction. I downloaded to hear Wayne though, could care less about the features and think most tracks would be better without them.
      Neil Armstrong!

    19. This mixtape is dope. His songs are concept songs about the study of cars and women. That formula is unique and never gets old.

    20. This is almost on the level of Drought 3. Wayne switches flows like its nothing and his bars are laces with witticisms and solid punchlines. Sure some weak lines here and there, but they are negligible compared to the amazing display of his rhymes on dope beats.

    21. “Bitch come kill my time, but bitch don’t steal my shine, i’m cooking up 2 quarters trying to get rich or die trying!” That was a great bar right their

    22. Why this anonymous nigga got like 500 comments hatin on this mixtape… sure it wasn’t the best but it had some good songs and it’s better than his previous stuff

    23. Really???… 18 of you give this a 5???… I guess to each his own but I heard this shit twice and its fucking trash. For every 1 good line he delivers, he delivers 10 more that are just stupid. “Got a phone in jail, that’s a cell phone”, “Got niggas lookin for you, like a reason.” Just a collection of half assed freestyles.

      Wayne has really been on a decline to the point now where he’s become a joke. People just laugh at him now. He thinks he’s coming with dope lines but he’s not. You just laugh at him. He really needs to hang it up.

    24. Its a mixtape. and for being a mixtape i loved it. some of his best work yet. that being said SOME of his best work. Some of the tracks aren’t worth a shit. 3/5

    25. This is some serious trash. Since when did nonsensical lyrics become dope MCing is what I want to know. This shit is HORRIBLE.

    26. My hubby workz soo hard he iz soo talented this mixtape iz the best juzt like the rest of hiz work!!!! Best Rapper Alive!!

    27. Wayne ain’t never left the top spot in hiphop, this generation of troll/haters finally hittin the climax of liking shit rappers and hating on good quality music. Thats all thats happening.
      ya’ll forcing real hip-hop to die and forcing artists to dumb down their shit. Idiocracy in the flesh.

    28. my classmate’s mother-in-law makes $77 hourly on the internet. She has been without work for seven months but last month her pay check was $13602 just working on the internet for a few hours. my link… www cafe44.com

      Wayne has really been on a decline to the point now where he’s become a joke. People just laugh at him now. He thinks he’s coming with dope lines but he’s not. You just laugh at him. He really needs to hang it up.

    29. How about you guys that say “trash”, “garbage”, give a long in-depth reason as to why. Cause I’m sure you used to bump Wayne back in the Hot Boyz, Carter 1, Carter 2, Dedication 1, Dedication 2, Da Drought 3, Carter 3, No Ceilings, etc. days… stop knocking him off like he’s some new school wack club rapper… he been in the game since early-mid 90s and has shown literally the biggest improvement of any artist in Hip Hop. And his work ethic is the biggest in the game.

      Dedication 5 isn’t ANYTHING compared to Dedication 2 or Da Drought 3, but at the same time it is a huge step up from last year’s Dedication 4… And it’s better than his I Am Not A Human Being 2 easily… Also better than Sorry 4 The Wait and Carter 4.

      29 tracks shows hunger, with at least 5 songs that shows signs of the old Wayne such as in Levels, You Song, Still Got That Rock, Thinkin About You, Typa Way, Cream, etc. So please, stop being so hard on the guy, he is hard working and at least he shows he’s willing and trying to be as great as he once was, and actually has songs that reminisces of those old Wayne days.

      3.5/5 rating for me.

    30. wayne just showed huge improvement from d4… could be better but i’m satisfied with this as long as he keeps this pace up and takes it further..keep it up weezy

    31. Actually came into D5 expecting much much worse after hearing D4’s shit… but this impressed me and on some songs just blew me away. His rhyme scheme and flow on Levels was just fuckin crazy…. wayne has a long way to go to reach the prime he was in years ago but this is some good shit…29 tracks on a mixtape.. and yall complain smh

    32. Its an okay mixtape not quite like Drought 3 or No ceilings but i think its pretty solid for and mixtape Album has to be on point or i fear other rappers might top Lil Wayne.

    33. Actually pleasantly surprised…yeah he’s got some bullshit on here but there are a handful of songs that are actually good. Plus the guest spots were mostly good. Euro was actually pretty impressive on the songs he was on. A step in the right direction for sure

    34. Yall motherfuckers ant shit dis man gave yall 29 tracks and yall still complain atleast itsbetter than i am not a human being 2 or dedication 4 be fucken grateful he went in on dis mixtape how lil wayne said all you haters need to hold hands and jump off a building

      1. Yes because if something is better than IANAHB2 or D4 than it must be praise worthy. Not saying D5 sucks or anything, as I only listened to 2 tracks, but come on now..

    35. This was a okay mixtape still better than i am not a human being 2 or dedication 4 and dedication 3 i rather listen 2 dis than born sinner or kanye west new album or the gifted

    36. This dude fell off so hard. He raps about nothing and yall worship it. Actually talk about something relevant and we will listen like the old days. PCE 1;5 (but didnt download or listen to the shit..)

    37. Dis was okay i say the best tracks are im good,don’t kill my vibe,typa way,still got da rock,fuckwitmeuknowigotit,uoeno,levels,cream,devastation, feds watching and does just the ones he was on the guest features was gold also

    38. Im not a hater…not by any means, but I was never into lil weezy or toon’chy!! For some to ever claim GOAT is just silly, his voice alone cannot give him that title and he is too small..LOL…to be GOAT you need presence and wayne falls way short in that category..if you had BIG, PAC, JAY, DRE, EM and Toonchit in a room…you would wonder who the fuck ge was

      1. FACTS

        – Pac went to a rich kid school.
        – Pac had a boyfriend.
        – Pac took ballet classes.
        – Pac was a ballerina.
        – Pac wore a tu-tu.
        – Pac had a homosexual tone to his voice before the whole “Thug Life” image he pushed.

        Pac was a faggot.

        Wayne is a Triple OG Blood.

        YMCMB

    39. Im scrolling down look at all the lil wayne haters they couldn’t even rap like jae millz wayne just did 29 free songs yall still hatin lmao whats the point of being dedicated to sorry as people

    40. “you and all your dawgs can get euthanized nigga”
      that’s all I gotta say. never heard a rapper say some shit like that other than Wayne on his drought 3 no ceilings shit. mix tape Wayne back. I feel half these songs were recorded before he said he realized how shitty he was. he has some shit lines but a lot of dope ones. Man jay got some shit lines, so does Kendrick. so does drake, cole, Kanye, wale, all these dudes. and to everyone saying all Wayne talk about is pussy and he needs to go back to his old ways, you must not have really ever listened to lil Wayne, dude has always always rapped about pussy since after C2. that’s when he hit his GOAT status and could pick any girl outta 100000 and she would marry him. dude gets bitches. obviously. so sit down unless you actually fuck with Wayne and have listened to his old shit, otherwise your opinion is biased off of one piece of work or a couple in recent years rather than shit from his whole career to actually make a valid opinion.

      1. lmao. the same niggas comment on every lil wayne song and mixtape and listens to every word line from line and call him weak. two words. record sales. lol enuff said. if yall dont like him then dont listen to him. yall some hatin ass niggas. damn yall make sho yall listen to all his work n say how weak he is. yall aint got nothin else to do but tell hiphopdx how weak he is. yall go on everybody else shit and comment how weak they is? i doubt hhighly doubt. imma make a wayne haters website for yall. lol. fuk it imma jus make a website for all yall haters. yall can jus blog n hate. but aye jae millz n drake hot on this mixtape. i am michael myers ill leave yo body in the dryer. lol. that nigga is funny mane. he still got it. im not diggin all that singin shit but niggas must like it cus he keep doing it. some of that shit hot tho. but wayne still raw. he so raw he can do what he want. he can go bak to his old ways if he wanted but the nigga doin new shit everytime. new metaphors and similies. his style is raw n changed the game. you cant compare him to any other rapper cuz he on his own level. so is jayz and t.i. them niggas on top fa sho. ace money signing out milwaukees newest talent watch out for me ya diiiiggg

    41. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Wayne is like an author with writer’s block. That nigga can spit. We see it here. He’s a real nigga. But he just got too commercial and scripted. Then again, I’m 31 so I remember when stupid ass white christians bought his records out and steam-rolled them. Saw it on the news. Then this nigga came out like nothing we had ever seen before. He got old, corny and predictable. I still love him and appreciate what he did, though.

    42. the problem here is that most of the people on here who dislike it are the same people who go out their way to hate on everything wayne puts out. Im pretty sure that these people are only upset because wayne is gettin the attention that they feel that their favorite rapper should be getting.

      Its like they want wayne to be a copy and paste version of some shit nas did 15years ago. His style isnt based upon doing deep intelectual shit. hes not going to do alot of deep/concept songs because thats not what he good at. all the hate seems to stem form people from of the northern region who cant accept the fact that wayne has got his foot stuck knee deep in your favorite rappers ass!

      1. He doesn’t do much deep songs, but all the deep songs he’s done, are good. There were sone on Tha Carter II, some on Tha Carter, some on Tha Carter III I think some on almost all of his albums. And Tha Carter III sessions – the songs that were originally supposed to be on Tha Carter III – were full of deep/concept songs.

    43. This shit go hard if you niggas ain’t been down with Wayne since the beginning fuck Yall opinions after running through hella bad bitches multiple platinum albums multiple classic mixtapes sold out shows around the world and influencing the culture having some of the best and most entertaining wordplay in hip-hop history he has nothing else to prove he ain’t starving no more but this mixtape just goes to show how good he is when he don’t even have to be especially since he got two of the biggest artist making money for him Wayne should shit on Yall with Carter 5 then leave the rap game

    44. Just can’t stand this guys voice. No matter if someone talented, like Eminem, wrote his verses – they would still sound fucking terrible if Wayne rapped them.

    45. Im not really a fan of wayne but its quite obvious that the haters are white boys who think recovery is a top 5 album of all time (it actually sucked, if you want to consider it a hip hop album). Wayne haters and eminem stans go fucking hand in hand. Wayne can spit when he wants to, aint really feeling this to much tho

      1. So what are you saying? Your post is all over the place and doesn’t really make any sense. What does Em have to do with this?

      2. Take it from a white-boy man, Wayne’s got a shit load of white fans. Ive never been much of an Eminem fan though…

    46. StErLs Da BaDdEsT, POKEMON WONTONS I EAT WHAT I WANT EVEN DING DONGS. I GOT CASH LOW BILLS AND HIGH I. I GOT WORK CAN GET YOU LOW OR HIGH. CALL MY BOY DOIN TIME THAT IS RIGHT HE GOT A “CELL PHONE.” hehehe.

      1. Nah, he’s right, Lil Wayne hasn’t lost it. I mean, to have lost it, he would need to have had it in the first place, which is not, and never will be, the case.

    51. Listened to this 3 times. Not happening. Lil Wayne isn’t even trying anymore. He’s just doing half assed freestyles with lame punchlines.

      You have to be really easy to please or simple minded to be impressed by Lil Wayne in this day and age.

      1. You STFU… Anybody that is a Lil Wayne fan has NO BUSINESS calling anyone a dickrider. Shoot yourself you tight jeans wearing swag faggot.

    52. All u pussy niggas make me sick 2 my stomach i feel nauseated

      Hatin is realy a disease dam they ant goan never find a cure 4 yall niggas

    53. Been listening to Wayne since The Block is Hot days. D5 is boring. Can’t we all just hit titter and call for the #Carter2Flow?

    54. unh, you little niggaz ain’t deep you dumb, you niggaz ain’t gangsta you gum, I chew little niggaz
      hock-too, spew little niggaz, I can only view little niggaz like little niggaz
      but in lieu of little niggaz trying to play that boy, I phew phew little niggaz with the latest toy
      unlike you little nigga, I’m a grown ass man, big shoes to fill nigga, grown ass pants
      prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents its apparent you’re staring at a legend
      who, put a few little niggaz in the they place before trying to eat without saying they grace before
      blasphemous bastard get your faith restored you’re viewing your version of the lord god
      mc little nigga, applaud, or forever burn in the fire that I spit at y’all I rebuke you little nigga
      the meek shall parish, ill roof you little nigga, I’m a project terrorist, cute you little niggaz
      think you in my class substitute little niggaz soon feel my wrath, I mute you little niggaz
      you a little nigga, I’ll child abuse you little nigga, I’m a ill nigga, now shoot you little niggaz
      go somewhere and play, cause the day I loose to you little niggaz, no day

    55. A step in the right direction , just when it seemed like there was a fading light at the end of the tunnel Wayne reminds me why i still wait and wait on anything with his name on it. Certaintly not the best but i considering that tweet im hoping he is a man of his word. YMCMB OVOXO RICHGANG

      1. You are retarded guy…wayne started hitting the limelight with his Hot Boy$ in the 90s…Im talkin youngest kid in a group that went Platinum. My guess is that you were a child then. Then Weezy drops The Carter and Tha Carter II and a gang of mixtape shit plus all those other tapes the sqad shit…taking young money on his back. I dont like all of Wayne’s shit but damn dude in my story I hadnt even got to Carter III present Wayne and your callin it his 15 MINUTES?

      2. Not to mention that he’s an 80s baby… longevity most ever singles on the billboard 200 all that other grimey shit come on

    56. my only problem with people saying this mixtape is shitty is that they have no reason behind why they think it is shitty. give specific songs, lines, anything. don’t just say trash. fuccin stan. keep it real n don’t be a biased asshole. especially when you go out your way to just hate for no reason. catchin feelings. feelin some typa way. lol

    57. Wayne hasnt sounded this good in at least five years.

      He is back with a vengeance! Spitting dope bars and punch lines with dexterous flows.

    58. Its an improvement from his last shitty album but that’s not saying much….

      Wayne’s fans must know it too because they are praising this shit out of this half assed mixtape as if there is some dope MCing going on here and that’s not the case.

      But since standards are so low today and kids are easily impressed, this will probably have little tight jeans wearing pretty boy emo kids calling this a “classic” and saying Lil Wayne is the GOAT.

      1. Lil wayne is fucked up like for real he used to Rap hard bt now I dnt knw what the shit he’s doing..he always rap about fucking hoes, bitches and how he fucks them..I’m tired of Wayne stop acting like a pornstar than rap like gangster like you used to be

    59. I had hope for the mix tape but i was so disappointed,meaningless raps within all the verses.Lil Wayne has nothing to offer lyrically anymore.

    60. Lil wayne is far better than any other rapper in the game. Especially Eminem. Because MnM is garbage. He needs to calm down before he catches a heart attack while making a song. So anyways this mixtape is the best thing ive heard in my life

    61. I used to be an avid Weezy fan up until I started noticing that his content was getting repetitive and no longer veering away from the mediocre norm. At first the fan in me wouldn’t accept that he had perhaps fallen off the pedestal. I hoped it was just a minute slip up on his part and justified it with that he doesn’t feel compelled to make tight songs because he had accomplished what he set out to do. I mused myself with multiple explanations and came to the conclusion that he would pull out of the abyss he had fallen into.

      But his artwork seemed to deteriorate further and further into oblivion in my mind. Got to the point where I’ve stopped listening to anything that has his name on it and have actually become a “hater”. He disappointed me and still does (considering what he used to do lyrically on songs such as amilli, lollipop and Mr. Carter just to name a few…).

      I wont even bother to listen to this because in my eyes he is just crap. He should curl up and die(metaphorically speaking). I cant deal with constantly hearing about bitches, whores, money,cars and drugs. Some may claim that hip hop, fundamentally, is all about that. I personally refuse to accept such a premise.

      I get hip hop being about boasting at times but there’s got to be more in life than whats become the mediocre norm amongst rappers.

      When rappers start forgetting about impressing their fans it makes you appreciate the anointed few such as J.Cole, Kendrick and the all time greats such as Hov, Em and Nas. There are many more rappers I can mention that I feel are holding their ground lyrically(2 Chains isn’t one of em btw [-__-] ), but I feel my comment may be treading on the line between tediously long and interesting so I’ll cut it here.

      Ex Lil Wayne/Weezy/Tunechi(or whatever yol call him these days) Fan

      1. i agree with you on that subject bout lil wayne not delivering to its fans but he still got his shit although nt together

    62. I didn’t read the other comments before posting my “Essay”. Sad how some people choose to delude themselves because they are holding on to what he used to be.

    63. D5 is one of the best mixtape n ppl stop comparing old music n new innovated music, 2me as a weezy’s fan i really enjoyed the mixtape. Weezy u stil de bst rapper in de world.

    64. he is very talented but he still acts like a kid. i think that he needs to grow up and stop talkn about giving oral sex but he is no doubt one of the greatest lyricist of all time but i think this sucks

    65. Wayne wasnt wack on this he still produced some dope verses that were reminiscent of old Wayne

      “OG Kush keep my mind clearer, that chopper get your mind right/
      I got two choppers thats chopsticks, eat your block up like shrimp fried rice/
      Man so long since I seen my eyes white
      You know I smoke like dry ice”

    66. Y all dnt understand wayne and e level he is nw at. He s just pure genius. D5 rocks. He killed kanye , killed jay z killed kdot n murdered 2chainz…snd hm baq to rikers. To hm its nolonger rap,hiphop its nw art. He dd wat jay z was tryn to accomplish in piccasso bby
