Why is Lil Wayne now trash?

He used to spit pure flames, listen to his “No Ceilings” mixtape it’s unbelievably so good you question if Lil Wayne is even human. But now he is absolutely terrible, his latest album is awful I could have made a better album myself. How can someone go from rap god to rap peasant? Lil Wayne is still IMO the greatest rapper to have ever lived based on his past work.

Didn’t see that coming, I am blown away by your response completely caught me off guard.
ye old rappers dont tend to last long cuz most of the hip hop/rap genre are teens who either listen to lil pump or tyler the creator. u wont see any of the ojs on anybodys playlist.

lil wayne seems like a crackhead. the only goat imo is biggie, and only hearing 1 of his songs.

never thought much of him to begin with tbh..

It's eminem who's gone from rap god to rap peasant imo..

Most of the stuff he's putting out I'm just not feeling. The only decent track i've heard in the last few yrs was his reply to MGK

tyler is good though - you cant put him and lil pump in the same sentence

Tyler just tries to be weird and edgy to gain popularity, his music is trash.

Have you listened to IGOR? There's a lot of production value in his songs.

I have, wasn’t for me tbh. In all honesty I don’t really listen to hiphop/rap as much as I used to since the music is now very different to how it was in 2005-2010. I am trying to expand on the artists I listen to but keep running into trash. I do like some new artists like Da Baby, and if I’m in the mood I’ll listen to 21 Savage but I’m from a time where artists like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Eminem etc were good, compare these artists to todays standards and its basically a different genre.

i mean... i cant argue that lmao

But a lot of these haters havent really listened to this kind of music - I usually have to go through an album more than once before I actually begin to like it (regardless of genre/artist).

Since its dominating the rap genre atm and its not going anywhere the least they can do is try to like it.
No his bars in loyal were good. Whether he is trash now doesn’t change the fact that this is the best rap song ever

Lol you’re funny so you pick lyrics from one of his mainstream songs that played in night clubs/radio and call it his best? That just tells me you’ve not heard enough of his music to make that judgement.

Since its dominating the rap genre atm and its not going anywhere the least they can do is try to like it.

His fans are basically if billie elishes fans grew up. Edgy attention seeking and self depressed but older.
His only song i like is who dat boy.

Atm dababy is popping like harder than any other rappers attention.

If ur song goes viral on tik tok its going viral and since all of his 3 songs have all had like a million vids on tik tok they popping off atm. Gassed 4 him.

I think I've only heard Off the Rip from Dababy after he sang it with fan.
