Apr 16, 2016 if you remember mid 2000s, Wayne was always sh---ed on by "hip hop heads" and the internet in general..but now most ppl place him in their top 10s based on the work he did during that time so, why the hate?
Apr 16, 2016 since i was one of the people that hated him my reasoning was .. i hated his voice and never gave him a chance
Apr 16, 2016 He made hits and sold millions of records, so reel hip hop fans decided they didn't like him because ew he's mainstream
Apr 16, 2016 made some trash songs and disrespected the fav rappers of a lot of ppl with his best rapper alive gimmick
Apr 16, 2016 I just thought that he just fell off a little carter 3 is a sick album. But I still think that he is very influential overall that is why I put him in the top 10
Apr 16, 2016 At the peak of my standom I really hated Wayne, mostly because all I'd heard were his hits and couldn't believe people were saying he was the best rapper alive, but also because I was young and stupid. Actually got a timehop on fb through the week from 09 or 10 where I said he was the reason hip hop was dying, cringe
Apr 16, 2016 I know he got a lot of hate for being considered a "sell out" Wayne entered the rap game with harsher lyrics, talking about drugs, violence and the street life in general. After he gained the fame he has now, he changed his subject matter to softer lyrics. Also for some people Wayne represented everything we hate about rap nowadays. The senseless lyrics, the colorful clothes, the weirdness.. Those of us who grew up listening to 90's rap, we had different standards for what it is to be a rapper and a man. They're different nowadays. You can't understand them? Well, that's normal. While you were small and listening to rap, did your parents understand why were you listening to those badly mannered thugs? Times are changing. For good or for bad, they're changing.
Apr 16, 2016 Because "real hip-hop fans" took over. Wayne still isn't top 10 imo. He's put out so much s-----y music in his career.
Apr 16, 2016 hiphop heads still don't consider him top 10 or top 20 lol, its just the wayne fans and people on this forum
Apr 16, 2016 "now most ppl place him in their top 10s " This is the first time I see people mentioning wayne in a top 10. Haven't seen that outside of this forum
Apr 16, 2016 Google top 10 rappers of all time and guarantee you'll see his name mentioned more than a few times.
