I'm glad I got a chance to grow up as Wayne was in his prime. If you missed that era, that's tough!
On god
I PROMISE
Block is hot- Carter I Wayne was slept on
Tough As Nigerian Hair
Yea im 37 and literally i grew up the same with waynes career, he dropped some classics
He’s the reason why so many rappers are in the game today 🔥
🤦 no he's not ...
Just stop it
He is. He bred a bunch of clones and those clones gave more clones. So him being the reason isn’t really a good thing
The Godfather of the Generation
@@population-_-420to young
Facts he showed the world down south rappers can be lyrical 💯
Man couldn’t stop smiling seeing the legend doing what he do best🙏🏿
One of his nicknames should be Big Smile🙌
Nice to see someone that happy❤
He deserved a standing ovation 😊
🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯
@@mujahid6986Fucking terrible opinion
@@mujahid6986yet you search him up listen to all his songs and watch his performances! 😂😂
That part one of the greatest ever hands down facts
❤definitely
The way Wayne be remix his own song mid song still blows my mind till this day.
Right! He did an interview & stated he doesn’t write his lyrics, his raps are freestyles so he doesn’t remember a lot of them. He improvises. Dope!
Bro it's the ESPY's he 1000% had those lines premeditated. He only had to change maybe 10-12 lines and several were single word substitutions. Still awesome, but he wasn't up there "going off the top"(mid song) on Live TV with an estimated 4+ million people watching around the globe.
@zacadams8263 never know with Wayne he can freestyle
Mannn str8 fax!
@@zacadams8263He definitely could freestyle that he could freestyle a whole song so switching up a few words on the spot is nothing for Wayne. Listen to his old Squad up mix tapes. He hasn’t wrote in all this time you think he wrote a verse for the Espy’s highly doubt it .
“CUZ WE POP HIM LIKE WE COACHING WEMBENYAMA”🤣🤣🐐🐐 that bar went over so many heads
Fire
Real talk it did I had to go back n listen 10x and I just smiled at the genius 🫶🏾🐐
EXACTLY WHEEZY TOO HARD
That bar was literally the best rap bar I’ve heard in a long time 🤣 crazy to think that Wayne’s still got it after all this time
“Sister, daughter, son father, but y’all can call me poppa but my uncle prime got me we out there in Colorado”
Angel Reese line and damar line fire too
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! i didn't expect him to replace a bunch of his original lines to fit the ESPYs like this man this man is a genius fr
@mujahid6986 What did he do to you? Must be something because you know he is nowhere near the worst.
@@mujahid6986 definitely trolling. Actually the opposite lol
@@mujahid6986gotta be gillie da kid burner account
"A genius" LMAO
Wow you kids these days have low standards and no taste.
He had to change the original Dennis Rodman line for sure...times have changed but that bar was my favorite😅😂
The crowd passed the vibe check 🔥
Whoa. “I want my NIL so I’m going back to College” 🔥Anotha classic line 🐐
🔥
Hall of Fame is one of the best to do it, and he dont have nobody writing his music for him.
📠
@@JohnSmith-er7dwgillie??
Yeah cause he would have been making a killing 😅
"In my mind, God is good, Damar Hamlin is doin fine" sheees! The best line🔥🔥
Caught that. Straight 🔥🔥
go get a pfizer shot
The fact that Travis Kelce knew the words was amazing. Lil Wayne will forever be my Goat.
This song had us all in a serious chokehold in summer 2008. You just had to be there when it dropped
Pure facts
Me a 12 year old White girl in NH with A Milli blasting in my headphone as I’m tanning by my pool and honestly I can vividly remember it so filled with joy 😂😂😂
Maaannnnn 😢
My guy.... EVERY car was playing this at Bike Week in Myrtle Beach that year 😂😂
Yessir
WAYNE SNAPPED ON THESE UPDATED REFERENCES!!! 🔥🔥🔥
That standing ovation speaks it all.GOAT
Raise up your hand if you have watched it countless times
Like 100 times 💪🏼💪🏼
Can't stop watching
Me too
Mike Tyson and Jon Jones. Two goats know who the goat is
Been watching it all dat
If you didn't live in the time when Wayne was the goat, you wouldn't understand why this dude is a top 5 of all time.
Throughout the late 2000s I always argued T.I over Wayne, but he's definitely top 5 over T.I ....I still put T.I over wayne as far as favorites tho
@@Ejazz414I mean for me they are definitely not on the same level but T.I. is no joke, that Urban Legend album is underrated AF.
top 5 jus down 4🤷🏾♂️
Lol
U don’t understand y yb is just better
I love our culture so much man. It’s rare for an artist that has been doing it this long to get on stage with so much energy and control a room. These are stars in this room and they are FANS of him. Wayne the goat
Interesting, watching this just proves to me American culture is just garbage now
Wayne's music being mainstream shows how dumb society is getting
@@noshotnova2432 Wayne has been mainstream since he was 16 just shows how dumb you are
@noshotnova2432 Then why did you even click on the video? Here's another reason society has gone down the drain is because people like you go out of their way to whine and cry about everything that offends them. Imagine having no life and crying to strangers on youtube about content that YOU CHOSE TO WATCH... I'm assuming you're just another low IQ hillbilly. Go play the victim somewhere else and we'll continue to watch things that we actually enjoy. Go hate your miserable life somewhere else
Wayne nowhere near top 20
@@noshotnova2432crazy how you couldn’t pull that off though
“And I’m over New Orleans like a Angel Reese “
I love how much Wayne loves sports
I think that's why Nicki has all those sports references in her rap. She is really the female Weezy
listen to my music 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@rudestlittlesoundwave642lol Nicki don't watch sports, whatever sports references she has it was ghost written from Wayne
Lil Wayne - ESPN
And he supporting women athletes too nice shout out to Angel Reese!
People say they miss the old Wayne or the Wayne in his prime. His prime is forever 🐐🐐🐐🐐
🎉
Hey now 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🐐🐐
No backing track straight fast clear lyrics he killed it. Love lil wayne
Dope how he adding new lyrics as he raps lol
Goat tings
He did that in the Kobe Bryant live performance when he passed too
He mixed tf outta that! The Greatest Rapper ALIVE
Sliiimmmmmm
The way he changed the lyrics mid performance shows how great he is. This my goat I glad I grew up in his prime to see.
Wayne still doing it is one of the best gifts.. the ppl that grew up with him, in their mid 30s, they know what I mean
Mannnnn 😢
Late 20s here and I also know what you mean! 🐐
im 26. shoutout to my older sister for sister putting me on to wayne as a kid
29. Bro you just old. I remember sitting in my math class in 7th grade waiting for da drought 3 to drop. It didn’t that day but I was fired up for that tape.
i'm 22, not that old but hey 🤣 i got to see it as well
Bro, Tyson was baked 😂😂
As always 😂
Was look for this comment lol I knew I wasn’t the only one to notice
My man still has it. Loved the remix. 💪🏾
WHAT UNBELIEVABLE ENERGY THIS PERFORMANCE HAD! 😭
He had everyone grinning and appreciating watching him get off like only he can. Even iron Mike was feeling that! I didn’t want that to end. Do another song Wayne F it!! Lol
Tyson went to prison for raping a young black beauty queen
It always amazes me how nobody cares about that in this era
Just some fire bars he had laying around in his head 🔥🔥🔥⚜️
Factz
Woiii, I never knew how much I needed to see Wayne & Travis together! 😂🙌🙌🙌🙌
He the only white guy in that building who can pull that kind of stunt off and not look like an idiot dancing to the music lol
🖤💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿
Love the fact Lil Wayne is still around doing his thing, I remember my high school days blowing the speakers out of my S-10 to him.
How you freestyle your own classic and make it classic🐐
So many players from all sports love him they all grew up on his music the Goat 🔥🔥
Y’all can call me poppa!! but my uncle prime got me out here wayyy in Colorado 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the fact that everybody gets turnt up as soon as they hear a beat!
The creative genius is virtually unmatched. Wrote this song over 15 years ago and he can just change and mix in new lines for the current sports news and events with ease.
He didn’t write it!
@@cheikhtidianecisse5064 You're claiming wayne didn't write the verses from the song that came out on the album The Carter III?
@@Ecoteric Wayne don’t write songs
@@cheikhtidianecisse5064 you don't know anything. you're just talking.
@@Ecoteric i know about wayne more than you know about yourself.
Like I’m coaching Wembanyamas! 😂🤣🐐
Frfr
"You Pop em cuz we pop em like we coachin Wembanyama"
Weezy Tha Goat 🐐
This made me so happy! Wayne deserves all the praise! 🙌🏾
He literally made a whole new version of a milli 🔥
Man made a clean version with no censors the goat 😂😂
Plus with sports references and yes 🐐
YES!! Wayne you better do that freestyle/remix. He came with the Flava tonight! It was nice to see him on stage doing his thing...🙌🏾
That was dope. And he changed some of the lyrics 🐐
Lil' Wayne's appearance brought life into our boring home last night! Even my blue heeler and beagle were excited! They've heard him so many times on You Tube!!! Super performance!
I was just listening to this cd in my car last week!!! It's STILL 1 of my favorites to this day!!!!
I liked how he remixed a milli 🐐🔥
His smile at the end ❤ will forever love you weezy
This man was just freestyle remixing his own song 😂 LEGEND! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Freestyle.....riiiiiiiight.......
@@johndavidson1944you do realize Wayne doesn’t write his music right?😂 the last song we wrote was 10,000 bars witch is a 30+min song gtfo
@@Tyler1251tyler why you telling me lol I'm not the one who said that was a freestyle....
@@Tyler1251tyler also I wouldn't even consider that drivel music
@@johndavidson1944 😂 I’m guessing you’re in high school saying wayne doesn’t freestyle gtfo😭😭🤡
most rappers stumble or slip up when they can’t cuss live, but Weezy replaced all the explicit lyrics with sports references on the spot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 still the goat
Carter 2, Carter 3 and The No Ceilings mixtape will forever be in my playlist.
Add Drought 3, it's mandatory.
The drought 3
Weezy is a legend. One of the greatest of all time
Facts
The greatest
The fact that Lil Wayne improvise freestyles most of his songs and doesn't write them down is insane.
Bruh just wakes up hella lit every day.
I bet the engineer is hella happy to see Wayne come to the studio every time he arrives.
I like how he switched the lyrics up a lil shouting out a few athletes Wayne will always be my favorite rapper of all TIME‼
HE JUST FREESTYLE A DIFFERENT A MILLIE AND IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 BTW “MY UNCLE PRIME GOT ME OUT THERE WAY IN COLORADO!” 🦬🦬🦬🦬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WE COMING
That was epic. I love the video of when Weezy pulled up on Coach Prime in Colorado. It was epic.
sko buffs....lolll brap brap brap
Lil wayne a legend.. maybe in the mount rushmore of rappers
He is the GOAT
Never seen Mike Tyson smile so much 😆
🗣️Need more LIKE HIM! 🔥💯
That's why kelce is a beast....he raps to lil wayne!!!
This man is so legendary to change the lyrics to fit the event was so dope
That pop and wemby line went over everybody's head 🔥
not me! I'm a huge Wayne fan, I'm a huge Coach Pop fan, and I can't wait to see what Victor is gona do in the NBA. Other than the Damar Hamlin line, that was my favorite bar in the song. Such a great performance! Between Wayne's intro, McAfee's monologue, and Jrue and Lauren willing the Pat Tillman Service award (and a whole lot more), this was my favorite ESPYs by far!
Give Wayne his 💐 while he still alive 👏🏾🐐
You can't it's not enough flowers out there for us to give him lol
"My pencil elite on the sheet of the tablet in mind
God is good, Damar Hamlin doing fine." 😬👏🏾👏🏾
Travis and Wayne 👌🏿✊🏿💯🖤👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿
Wayne killed it 🔥
Cutting to Mike at the face tattoo line was real clutch
1 of the 🐐 's. If you've never seen him live....i highly suggest u make the effort to do so
Lol why
Was good a decade or so ago.
Unfortunately he doesn't always make the effort to show up or perform the whole set lol
@@population-_-420cause he’s the greatest hip-hop artist of all time. Pretty self explanatory.
The only rapper I seen live greatest to ever do it
That laugh at the end was prime Wayne coming out
The GOAT OF ALL GOATS WAS THERE
Was that him ? Was that bones ?
Man was going off the top for a few bars
This man freestyle over an old beat with new lyrics on the go lmao 🔥
Tyson on another level in that crowd!
“Over New Orleans like I’m Angel Reese” ❤ 🔥
😤 “What’s a goon to a G O B L I N”
What a talent ⚜️⚜️⚜️
These lyrics and wordplay are INSANE 🔥 WEEZY!
He’s a star that lights up other stars 🌟 🔥🔥🔥
Omg I love. This had me smiling so much ❤ Crazy how I was just listening to the song before the show
I’m over New Orleans like ah Angel 🔥🔥
When he dropped this back in 08.. this track was EVERYWHERE. I remember printing out the lyrics in a computer lab from azlyrics so I can go in EVERY. TIME. IT. DROPS. And I still do 😂 not saying hes the GOAT, but OG weezy was untouchable. And da drought 3 imo is the GOAT of mixtapes. Weezy easily holds at least 3 out of the top 10 mixtapes of all time. RESPECT ON HIS NAME
Waynes bars have limitless meanings!
That damar line was hard
Man Wayne touch everything and everyone sports world and more goat 🐐 thank you espn
Always killing it he loves loves what he does Legend, The Goat, Genius, Knowledge dropper will teach you some things his craft is untouchable Respect everyone loves Wayne better stand up❤

“A milli sports edition “
He smoked this performance 🔥🔥
And I’m over New Orleans like a Angel Resse😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
God is good damar Hamlin doin fine💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐
AlmostEveryone in the game sounds like Wayne to some degree and look like him, all tatted, dreads adopted his subject matter..lean and random but also genius metaphors and wordplay with a crazy punk like brashness. He’s the GOAT in my opinion
You gotta love number 87 energy on and off the field he lit
Give little wayne his flowers now❤❤❤oh my bad anit enough out heew to give ro him goat od all time and forever go
Sitting while Wizzy F performs should be a crime
Love how he did that 💯💪🏾
He did great ❤❤❤❤
90 % If not more rappers rap dress, and has tattoos on face and body because of this man right here give em his flowers and respect he is the GOAT and it's not even close his longitivity and adjustments throughout the years is simply Astonishing and command greatness 🙌
Wayne fathered all these new rappers lol
Man bro I was born in 97, seen Wayne Wiz Gucci in they PRIME they part the reason I’m a inked up pot head fasho 😂😂😂
Imagine if he performed “I’m a Go Getta” he would’ve set that place on fire
Sadly it’s not an official release
