Progression of Weezy Pt. 1

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - 10 years in and still going.



WATCH: "Fireman" and "Go DJ"

Remember back in 2008?

You couldn't walk out onto any block without hearing 'A Milli' booming out a whip's speakers.
Wouldn't be surprised if your grandma bumps his tracks from time to time.

Wayne has made such a significant impact in Hip-Hop that hundreds of artists who come after will take parts of his lyricism and flow, and integrate it into their own.

i.e. Drake, Childish Gambino




1997-1999 Hot Boyz (15 years old)

WATCH: "We On Fire" and "Everything"




It's interesting to view his video timeline or listen to his previous mixtapes.
I can't comment on whether or not I think it's gotten better or worse - too subjective.
Personally, I like his earlier work because it seemed more authentic and raw, and gave me the more realer side to him.

Again, "real" is another subjective word.

I gotta say though, PROM QUEEN? Really? PrOm QuEeEeN? *BARF*

"Welcome to the Dedication 3" *sigh of relief*


WATCH: "Get Something" and "Shooter" ft Robin Thicke



He's covered basically all bases.

All he needs is a collaboration with Wu-Tang, OFWGKTA...
May as well make a track with Adele?!
