Awaiting the release of Lil Wayne and DJ Drama’s sixth installment of their coveted Dedication series could have been considered a nightmare before Christmas for his longtime supporters. Expectations for Wayne’s music have fallen suitably low over the past few years, leaving die-hards in a moral quandary. News of a new Wayne mixtape initially piques interests, especially when slapped with the sacred Dedication title, but the reality of Wayne’s current descending competence sets in shortly after, leaving fans understandably apprehensive.
There is, however, a glimmer of hope for D6’s seeing that Wayne’s Martian-like rhymes are summoned when paired with rival artist’s beats. The Dedication, No Ceilings, Da Drought or even Sorry 4 the Wait series all serve as prime examples of his extraterrestrial lyrical abilities. D6’s format is no exception and Wayne quickly and pleasantly falls back into old habits that made him the mixtape monster in the first place.
Off the rip, Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA” supplies “Fly Away” with the proper gasoline for fiery wordplay: “I got Doja, Narcotics, and Actavis; that’s DNA/She got Dollars, Nut, and Alcohol all over her T&A/I got Dracos, Ninos, Automatics; that my DNA.” Of course, questionable lines like, “My dick is an electric chair, feel the voltage” also spring up but ultimately, zany bars on a Wayne mixtape is inevitable.
“Blackin Out” does JAY-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” justice as The Dedicated One starts off with 16 bars of “Rich nigga, Polo nigga/House bigger, bills bigger” wordplay and even squeezes in a clever “O.J. on my wrist, nigga that’s Sunny Delight” line. While solo, he can hold his own but his dizzying lines about pussy and codeine get one-upped by Nicki Minaj’s testosterone on “5 Star.” While flowing over Post Malone’s “Rockstar” beat Nicki hits it with “Niggas don’t mean my race when they say she blacked/I am the Queen/I’m everything she lacks/Bitch get on your kneecap/I don’t mean C. Kaep” while Wayne pales in comparison with “Put my face up in her pussy and my thumb in her ass/Make her do the Jumpman.”
10 Wildest Lil Wayne Dedication 6 Lyrics
D6’s pinnacle comes in the form of his rendition of Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO Tour Life” and “Suwu,” his version of 6lack’s “PRBLMS.” The former catches Wayne is rare form coherently bobbing and weaving through TM88’s iconic beat with rapid-fire delivery. “Suwu” on the other hand is reminiscent of Wayne’s mid-2000 heyday and his use codeine as an artistic crutch. 6lack’s murky production is perfect for Wayne’s dazed Auto-Tune cries for drugs and unsavory women.
Ironically enough, new Lil Wayne mixtapes are like seeing relatives during the holidays. They only show up maybe once a year, usually hit you with the same conversation topics and your excitement fades just as quickly as it appeared. Luckily, Dedication 6 is that one cousin who brings all the fixings and wittier table talk.
It’s the type of family member you wish would show up more than once a year.
Lmao it’s like u hhdx writers are in the third grade. U think Nikki’s shit was clever? One syllable trash bars
It’s the family member that should have retired a long time ago because his brain doesn’t know how to write anymore
Top 3 Rappers who need to Retire
1. Lil Wayne
2. Eminem
3. Drake
Your favorite rappers 1. Soulja Boy 2. Lil Yachty 3. Cardi B
You need to add Kayne Ross Gucci Future Thug
Lil Wayne that cousin who smoked himself retarded at the family reunion who everyone is happy to see, but no one wanna hear him spit some weak crackhead bars
This is more trash from the garbage man. The best rapper alive? What is that person smoking. The rap years are horrible. Let’s forget about the terrible music and rhymes for a minute. I want to focus on homosexuality. Why do you lil kids follow gay rappers like lil wayne and drake? This happens when you chase the hottest trends by the corporations and the radio without having your own style. The corporations make you wear blouses, dresses, skinny jeans and pocketbooks to make money. Don’t you lil kids realize that your dressing in gay men’s attire. I thought gay people were born gay but i guess not. In the future, your generation will be laughed at because you like gay rappers, no soul white artists and female rappers that don’t write their own material but yet make the charts. I think this era has been suckered by the corporations and the radio into being gay, transgender and transvestites. I’m not trying to make you mad but please wake up soon. This is the problem because you lil kids have not developed your own sense of style yet. The golden era would never allow the corporations and the radio to put us in gay clothes and listen to homosexual rappers. I don’t hate gays but i do not follow gay trends because i’m hetersexual.
-hurt
i don’t know what you mean by gay? who’s gay?…lil wayne, young thug, migos, uzi vert, drake…you talking about them being gay? cause as far as i know they aren’t?…are you talking about their style being gay ie thug and migos…cause jimi hendrix and prince used to wear that same kind of stuff and as far as i know they weren’t gay either…and some people enjoy pushing the boundaries of their attire…i could call wearing xxl tshirts and pants something, but i won’t…are you talking about them being bad rappers?…cause i could debate you that wayne and migos, thug and drake could rhyme your favourite rapper under the table…are you talking about the golden era? cause epmd used to wear the same clothes as each other, which i’m sure you would call gay and de la soul were also called out for being gay at the time as well…and i follow lil wayne and drake and i’m not gay, i’m not little and i’m not a kid…i’m 44, have a wife and two kids…but whatever…anyone that is a fan of lil wayne will be glad to know that this is the best shit he’s put out in a long time, and i’m thoroughly enjoying his christmas gift…one love
Buddy, this is lil wayne’s best work in a while, you have lost your mind. This shit is horrible. How can you be 44 and like this gay shit? I see you like to follow so called hot trends too aren’t you a lil too old to follow bad rappers. You r from the golden era what happen to you. I guess your still trying to cool like a lil kid. You must be smoking on bad crack if you think those rappers will murder hip-hop artists. Hip-hop is about skills and rap is about a bunch of lil kids with no identity of their own. Look how these lil kids are dressed, they look like their gay with skinny jeans, blouses, pocket books and loud ass colors. Do you want your kid to dress like that because he was tricked them into homosexuality. Gay people dress like this way too. My kid will never dress like that because he will have his own sense of identity. Most of these lil kids are lost souls. They think wack rhymes are good because the radio plays this shit. You can’t be from the golden era because you would realize that 99 percent of these lil kids are garbage and don’t belong on any charts. The corporations and the radio have suckered you into bad music and looking like homosexuals. Lil wayne tongue kissed a man but he is still the best rapper alive. There are rumors that drake is gay too and his lyrics are somebody elses. Why in the world would you follow gay rappers and think they are better than the golden era. There are alot of hip-hop artists going into the hall of fame but none of these rappers will ever be hall of famers. Once the radio stops playing these gay rappers they will die because they have no talent. You guys wouldn’t listen to rappers that are not hot anymore, right. These gay clowns couldn’t survive in hip hop because they have week or no skills at all. By the way, prince had madd talent he is going to the hall of fame too. Lil jack off, fake drake, gay easy, lil hump and the rest of the them will die and never make it to the hall of fame because they were just so called hot for a minute, had no skills and are homos that were fool by the radio to think this was cool. I dont want corporation music. I want ghetto music with artists that kick ass. The only talent that weezy has (that even sounds gay too) is just being ghetto but not talented. I remember soldier boy at one time, he was one of the hottest rappers around until radio got tired of him and now his career is dead. The same thing will happen to 90 precent of today’s rapper too. You get what you deserve because your to busy trying to be the coolest person alive instead of finding your own lane. Therefore, you would stop wearing gay ass clothes. Once again, i don’t hate homosexuals but straight guys shouldn’t dress like their gay. The corporations are making fools out of you. DEATH TO THE RAP YEARS AND THE CORPORATIONS THAT ARE MAKING HETEROSEXUAL BLACK MALES INTO LIL GAY BOYS.
truth homie , you speakin it . the man is dead
This is 5/4 just because of the no features with other artists outside the YM camp, i like Cory Gunz and Euro verses but i wanted to see Wayne with new blood like Kodak, Dave East, Don Q even A Boogie with the Hoodie would it fit nice in this project, as far as Wayne he reminds me of that old’ hungry Carter 2 flow that killed everything. Overall, I liked it and gave the project a 5 out of 4. He left a lot of auto tune out of this which I thought was a good choice. All of the beats fits his style which shows most of the new artists are influenced by him, his bars, flow and lyrical ability are up there with No Ceilings . He had a lot of creative punchlines that will go over your head so i had to listen to the tape a few times to grasp it, besides the features and though I didn’t particularly care for the Nicki Minaj song, “5 Star”, all the others were awesome but he could it added more star power to this it would been 5/5.
My dude you gave it a 5 out of 4 which means this album was way more than 100% flame it’s more like 125% fiya please reread what you type before you hit the post comment button.
PITY POINTS
He is my dad
Remember before the golden age when everyone was wearing boots and fur? That was straight weird too. Been a bunch of weird shit in rap music. Always.
Thankfully, Run DMC and LL fixed all that.
Long live the golden age. I miss that shit.
Straight Trash
Instant classic. Way better than that album that Eminem’s trash ass just put out
best work in a while
Its been all downhill since Carter 4.
You mean C3; C4 was shit.
How you give this more than a 1.5 rating is just lame. Subject mater is the same-pussy, drugs, money, fucin and I’ll kill you. Wayne is washed up and sadly he knows it, that why carter 5 will never come out anytime soon!
Trash
Decent addition to the dedication series , it still blows a lot of the new shit outta the water but this isn’t weezy at top form. Some bangers on here but its kinda frustrating to hear wayne conforming to today’s trends , doing the mumble rap thing on a few songs. Leave that for the new generation wayne
this is the last time i write a comment or visit this site, i leave my extended review on the album with no curses and hiphopdx keeps deleting it, you have officially lost a fan dx, i do left a comment to support your website but since is not important i’m out
Easily the 3rd best dedication
Its all just noise when Im working out…..give me a beat and whatever….rap as we know it is over…..take the best songs from each album and make your own shit blam boom!!!!
NOT his best work but nice to hear from the young man amongst alot of the BS out to date. Some nice ones/bars & a slew of suspect/of the wall ones also. I say a strong 3 if not a soft 4 for this effect
Not his best work! When did gay weezy ever come out with something good. I read in an article that weezy said his lyrics don’t make sense. LOL! You rap heads don’t know what good hip hop music is but you do know what hot gay shit is. Its a damn shame.
Thank, But No Thanks..
He never had the game. The real game is hip hop not rap trash please know the difference.
Too much hate y’all trippin this is best work in years??
okay so i don’t understand the hate , and yeah when i heard that dedication 6 was going to be released i rolled my eyes cause dedication 3,4,5, were straight trash and disappointing. And when i listened for the first time i liked it ,sure the subject matter is the same but you dont go into a lil wayne project to learn about how to fkin solve a world crisis or get intelligent political social commentary. No you go in there to see what fun wordplay he uses to twist all of these artists songs and give his own take , and how he takes over the beat, and in that regard it delivers , so shut off your brain and just enjoy it .
Shut off your brain and enjoy it that means your not really listening to lil wayne you just hear his nonsense. Damn, thats got to be torture. How can u enjoyed the music with your mind shut off? Rap fans are the most screwed up people i ever seen. Hip hop fans want music that makes them think. It makes the music more enjoyable. Rap fans just want to hear bullshit because the radio says it hot.
nah im a hip hop fan i listen to kendrick lamar, joey badass, krino, big krit, j cole, a tribe called quest, the roots, outkast, Royce Da 5’9 etc… and for fun i like to listen to lil wayne, he got me through middle school and elementary school , id just play his dedication 2 , no ceilings, drought 3 and carter 3. So no i dont listen to shit because the radio says its hot , heck i haven’t turned on the radio in years , nothing but crap on there and i gave mumble rap a shot and its not for me, i liked dedication 6 cause at least he got close to his signature flow of the 06-09 days and his bars were much improved from before compared to the last 6 years.
Lil wayne got you through school. Lol! Why would someone listen to lil wayne for fun? You should try crack for fun too. Crack is more healthy than lil wayne. You see lil kids don’t know what is music so you pick that idiot who rhymes like a gay rapper. Lil wayne was never good at any time. The radio and lil kids are the only audience that likes gay wayne.
nope lil wayne got all the rappers respect like krs one , nas , kendrick lamar, andre 3000 etc but sure according to you he was never good at any time smh
Lol again! Lil Wayne does not have the respect of anyone expect clown ass rappers. You think nas and krs one like lil wayne hell no. They try to educate against bull shit rap. They write their own lines. Krs one and nas have no respect for bitters. Lil Wayne is a homosexual, drug addict that would loss to nas and krs one. You should put down the crack pipe because your mind isn’t functioning.
riiiight thats why lil wayne has collaborations with outkast, nas , kendrick lamar, talib kweli ,busta rhymes, QTip . Get the fk out of here with the hating , im done.

Bro..your from the suburbs… and your top 5 goes something like this:
1. Brother Ali
2. Statik Selektah
3. Atmoshpere
4. Termanology
5. Action Bronson
this music isnt for you and its ok, you dont understand it, thats also ok.
I never listen to those guys before. My collection is made up of hall of fame hip hop artist like jeru da damaja, wu, public enemy and many, many more dope artists. I’m from the golden era and your from the rap years. You listen to gay rap shit. I listen to bangaz.
My bad
Its lil wayne at his best
Lil Wayne set the bar high for the rap community in 2018. Can anyone reach his punchline level?
The punch lines on this are lame.
Bruh What? lmao
This project is straight flames without a single doubt. Really had me feelin like the old weezy was rappin still. Def a great release along with the other great releases as of late. Wayne does his dam thing, forget the hate on this thread. Looks like a bunch of 13 year olds who never heard Weezy spit in their entire life and too engulfed in Migos lame non-lyricism. This goes way too hard!
The flow and the lyrics are fire
and that on the most recent hiphop beats
