all of his prime* lengend has been on top his whole career , we witnessed all that and he never stopped getting better . D6 and NC3 are a whole nother level of skill . he’ll go down as the best but some will only realize when he’s passed . not to mention birthing drake and nicki
2024 and this shit is still fire. Like an old friend. Can go a couple years without talking, but can pick that shit right back up at any given time and ain’t shit changed
@@Airfarts_ Why? Prime Wayne dominated rap in a way no other rapper has since. Absolutely overwhelmed the genre with features, mixtapes, loosies and albums and was consistently good. Ushered in the Internet era, had people waiting for every feature, had Carter 3 leak an abundance of times and still managed to release a classic, had legendary mixtapes and then introduced everybody to drake and Nicki. As good as Ye, T.i. and Lupe were during this time, Wayne was hip hop at this stage and you could happily just listen to songs with him on it and be content with the content.
Liberty Chip I think if he did that the leaked version would do bigger numbers it probably won’t do 1mil in a week but I think it would still be bigger.
Michael yes it was, if the original Carter 3 would of came out instead of the songs being leaked it would of definitely have been his Best album, even over the Carter 2. which all real Wayne fans know is his best album.
@@shawnmoney8055 The issue now is that he doesn't use his real voice like he used to. He now uses this fake high pitch voice its obnoxious and at times hard to listen to. Seems to have started sometime after carter 4.
RIP my boy Steven Faz. We used to get stoned and listen to Wayne all day back when we were selling herb outta Granny's pad. Every time I hear this song I think of you man, the last person I ever called a best friend. I miss you brother.
Chance The Rapper was asked who he thinks is the G.O.A.T. He simply replied "born in new Orleans, raised in New Orleans, I will forever remain faithful to New Orleans...thank you Harley Grove, it's been my hood since a snotty nose". Listen to any of Kendrick (before of after TPAB). Wayne's delivery and style of wordplay shines through. Wayne is top 3, no doubt.
Been playing this song since I was 15. Wayne was the soundtrack to my high school year. Used to bump this sh*t on my mp3 player riding my bike to school. Unmatched vibes. I’m 32 now and still listen to this at least once a month
I'm 32 and still love coming back here in 2023. Carter 3 is still one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion, even though I know this wasn't on it. Should have been though so I consider it part of it
Technology it was supposed 2 be da 1st single of C3, but due 2 it leaking it was lefted off. A lot of them Drought Is Over tapes are really songs dat was really meant 2 go on C3
RIP MATTHEW RYAN KIRBY! We would listen to this in tenth grade smoking blunts. EDIT: Thanks for the support Matt would be happy seeing people remembering him.
What other rappers have such a huge catalog of classics, features, mixtapes, and albums? Wayne has so many hits that some of the his better songs are only heard by the real fans. A bunch of people say Wayne sucks and doesn't talk about anything, I tell them to listen to songs like this... And there's plenty more. One of the Greatest to ever do it.
sherbertdjones i know, I'll say his best years were 2005-2011 because from the Carter 2 to 4 was the best. He's getting back on track tho have you heard his new features this year and FWA
I can vividly remember when this song dropped . I remember being broke, sad, and depressed. I didn't have shit but this song. Nowadays, ( 10 years later ) I have all the things I once didn't and realize those times were the best ones in my life. Rt
We don't need to convince no-one that Wayne is the greatest. We always come back to his old tracks, and only us as fans know these gems that others don't know. S/O to the fans man

BORN IN NEW ORLEANS, RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS,I WILL FOREVER REMAIN FAITHFUL NEW ORLEAN! Shoutout to Wayne we came from 1 of the hardest city's in America FACTS!
Nah he wasn't putting it ALL out free, "motherfuckas" was leaking alot of his shit. As a fan no complaints from me but from his perspective that shit had to be annoying, idk why he didn't have tighter control over his work I guess when you make so many songs it's inevitable some will come out.
I remember growing up in their era, Wayne, dipset, Cassidy, jr writer ect. I was a teen, me n my boys sat around drinking, smoking, n freestyling for hours. I miss those days
The nostalgia this song brings me is on another level , growing up no care in the world , 14 doing shit we shouldn’t have been doing , saving lunch money to get drunk on the weekend , crazy but some of the best times
The lead up to Tha Carter III will go down in history. Album of the year getting leaked, a "LEAKS" mixtape, A million ALBUM SALES in a week and a classic Album. This song takes me DIRECTLY back to 2007/08. Cheers T.
Crazy how it’s been 15 years since I played this song and can still sing every verse, word for word. Wayne was such a important part of my child hood memories!
I came up when he was just a kiddo in hot boys. When fireman came out that's when Wayne blew up the mixtape circuit with dipset. Hands down 2000-2007 had the best hip hop that will ever be made. There is no soul in these instrumentals anymore. Back when producers put love into shit.
2006-2009 Wayne was one of the most diabolical, mesmorizing artists perhaps ever. His catalog during that span was undeniably some of the most consistent I’ve heard an artist be in Hip Hop. His seemingly effortless verses on most “mixtape Wayne” tracks just blow my mind. As if that era of Wayne should be studied and taught to other artists. An art in its purest form. Excellence in it’s most recognizable form. 2019 and I’m still blasting this, daily.
Unfortunately that how art works ... Everyone gets bigger once their gone we could go back and even look a someone like Pac yeah people loved him while he was alive but he wasn't considered the greatest until he was gone and this is coming from someone who always loved his music and grew up in Cali I remember finding out me and him had the same birthday only after he died because now on June 16th every station will play his stuff for a hour straight they didn't do that while he was alive Wayne will be the same way
man I first heard this i was like 16 and I had my first car, and I would just blare this shit ... when your rapper has viviid desire your limit is the sky that shit made me think i could take over the world just listening to his shit got me so fuckiing riled up 10 years later I'm still stoked on this song.
Classic man I was born in 1989 me and my Cuzo’s used to ride to high school to this everyday smoking weed man I always cry tears of joy when i listen to this by myself no cap
If you were around when the Carter dropped then you more than likely know of this song. It was featured in one of those vh1 documentaries they did on him and it was also like the first or second track on the show if I remember correctly. So although it's a classic it's definitely more highkey than low honestly.
@firefly1n bruh when he said "crack in my jaws, I hope it don't dissolve, and you know I'm ducking 5 0 and my moms" I stopped the track and reevaluated my life. realist shit I ever heard
This shit warms my heart man, all I can think of the times I had bumping this on my iPod. The feeling almost brings me to tears. Thank you so much Wayne
Most Underrated Wayne song EVER!!! I’m so mad this didn’t make the final version of the Carter 3. This version was waayyy better than the album version.
Istg bro, I’m sittin here tryna see why would he even leave this version off for that version 🤣 this song, I’m Me, I’m a beast, etc was pose to be on the Carter 3 album
@Rotoscope67 Hgasghg lol you're funny, I've grown up with nothing in a small southern town, started putting a needle in my arm at 15 years old, had both parents die from drug overdoses, was homeless at 21 and am now 28 with a good job and a great wife so if you wanna check someone's privilege try elsewhere bitch.
People dont understand how sick Wayne is. His simile and metaphor game is so serious..The make precise sense and are put in such a creative way, you have to stop and think about it. You end up actually being able to visualize it. The rhyme schemes/patterns along with the unorthodox flow and it all builds up and correlates all in unison with the beat. This shit is truly masterful. Watching/listening this man start as a little kid and evolve into the lyrical and musical genius/monster he is to day,(coming from the gutter where black folks dont get the best education or make it to become stars/moguls/icons but instead statistics)..is rather remarkable #recognizelivinglegends
Man I cry 😢 the Wayne era was so golden man this new generation will never understand 🤦🏾♂️ I remember after school I go to the mixtape store around my way an get a new Wayne mix cd everyday lol of course bootleg but couldn’t tell me nothing bout Wayne especially limewire damaging my sister computer haha 😂
This song would've been Wayne's "Hard Knock Life" moment had it not leaked and retconned the original Carter III. Those leaks single-handedly changed Wayne's entire career. Makes this song that much more emotional and a rare gem.
@@GeneFOX70 lollipop was his COMING OUT party to the MAINSTREAM(pop culture, white people) white folks was not blasting the block is hot, Go DJ, fireman, hustler music, leather so soft, stunting like daddy out there speakers. but lollipop was and so was mrs officer and also how to love. Grammy awards are a small gift but a big curse. no rapper in the history was better than hood weezy.
@@khaliyl21 Wayne was already mainstream and known worldwide before Carter 3. Tha Hot Boyz were huge in the late 90s/early 2000s, his debut album Tha Block Is Hot was a success and went platinum in less than a month, Lights Out and 500 Degreez went gold. Tha Carter made Wayne massively popular and saved Cash Money, his feature on Destiny's Child Solider made him more popular, dropped successful mixtapes like Tha Drought 1, 2, and Squad Up series. Tha Carter 2 was a success, then he was on number 1 features with with Chris Brown, Lloyd, DJ Khaled, did Like Father Like Son which was a success and peaked at number 3, dropped the successful Drought 3. After that a bunch of Carter 3's leaked, more top 10 features then came Tha Carter 3 which made Wayne even more mainstream.
Lil wayne will always be one of the greatest. I lived down South during Peak wayne. So many great car rides with friends at that time who also knew all the words to every song 🤣
Yeeee listened to this my first time in 08 and I ain’t never stopped. I’ll still listen to it in 2040 if God let’s me make it to then. Forever da 🐐 💯 💜
“Can I kick my story to y’all my glory in God my faith in my flow I pray that I go where no other rapper has but when you’re rappin as vivid as I ya limit is the sky” word play
If a musician has a 1/4 of the career that Wayne had/has they are very blessed! This man has like 40 GIGS worth of music recorded. 5 or 6 years ago I downloaded his discography... 30 gigs... that was then. So many amazing songs/mixtapes/albums. Lil Wayne is one of the best and should be in every ones top 10. If you say he says the same shit over and over, it might because he has probably rapped about everything there is to rap about LOL.
@Chris Johnson Thats bs Wayne's greatest songs are found on his mixtapes/underground music and most of it was great! Now if you're speaking of his mainstream stream songs, then that's another story...
2023, and this track still moves my spirit the way it did when I was a little bull headed 16yr-old driving around my neighborhood feeling like the King of the world. 😂 Long Live Lil' Weezyana! 🐐💫
2021 still listening, i first listened to this bootleg in summer of 07, I was 15 riding bike in mountains , south Germany on holiday at my uncle. I listented to this mixtape like 200 times and didnt skipped any song while i was riding bike near Peiting and Schongau, great memories :)
This was in the middle of a 4 year zone Wayne was in where he was just coming up with shit off the top of his head cause he was feeling the beat and his flow so much.
Summer 2021 less go! Wayne the goat! Fwm fam, everyone here a real one I know that’s a fact. If you still here you certified in my eyes, we bruthas it’s all Luv fam! Stay up squad we been outsiiiide!!
Man all of waynes song is so much of my childhood. I use to sing his lyrics running around the house, my religious conservative mom would be so angry. I had no care in the world. This song really touched a spot in my heart.

@Rotoscope67 Hgasghg lol you're funny, I've grown up with nothing in a small southern town, started putting a needle in my arm at 15 years old, had both parents die from drug overdoses, was homeless at 21 and am now 28 with a good job and a great wife so if you wanna check someone's privilege try elsewhere bitch.
@Rotoscope67 Hgasghg Lil Wayne fucking had it easy compared to me.
Facts, I stumble across shit I completely forgot about, Wayne the GOAT 🐐
Wayne was in a very good state of mind and good space when he was recording the carter 3
meetcarter you are not lying
That’s his magnum opus
Shit sad we can’t get these days Back, I could cry right now just thinking about it G 🤦🏾♂️
Those were the days brotha
That's why the muzik here young blood
On my
Soul bro
Y'all member the style long tees backwards caps ,. Those were the days mayne
Got to love and hate nostalgia at the same damn time.
People dont understand how sick Wayne is. His simile and metaphor game is so serious..The make precise sense and are put in such a creative way, you have to stop and think about it. You end up actually being able to visualize it. The rhyme schemes/patterns along with the unorthodox flow and it all builds up and correlates all in unison with the beat. This shit is truly masterful. Watching/listening this man start as a little kid and evolve into the lyrical and musical genius/monster he is to day,(coming from the gutter where black folks dont get the best education or make it to become stars/moguls/icons but instead statistics)..is rather remarkable #recognizelivinglegends
Agreed 1000 percent
thank you man ; i 'm so happy reading this comment
@@cheikhtidianecisse5064 Yo that’s what’s up, I appreciate that.
I agree his wordplay is insane and hes one of the only rappers that have funny/gangsta/clever punchlines.. And his flow around this time was crazy
@@cube5884 indeed sir
Man I cry 😢 the Wayne era was so golden man this new generation will never understand 🤦🏾♂️ I remember after school I go to the mixtape store around my way an get a new Wayne mix cd everyday lol of course bootleg but couldn’t tell me nothing bout Wayne especially limewire damaging my sister computer haha 😂
This song would've been Wayne's "Hard Knock Life" moment had it not leaked and retconned the original Carter III. Those leaks single-handedly changed Wayne's entire career. Makes this song that much more emotional and a rare gem.
Lol hard knock life by jay z was terrible. Really says something that thats what u compare to
eam0090 his point is that Hard knock life was Jay’s first big commercial mega hit
@@Jsalcedo23 Wayne already had commercial hits before 2008
@@GeneFOX70 lollipop was his COMING OUT party to the MAINSTREAM(pop culture, white people) white folks was not blasting the block is hot, Go DJ, fireman, hustler music, leather so soft, stunting like daddy out there speakers. but lollipop was and so was mrs officer and also how to love. Grammy awards are a small gift but a big curse. no rapper in the history was better than hood weezy.
@@khaliyl21 Wayne was already mainstream and known worldwide before Carter 3. Tha Hot Boyz were huge in the late 90s/early 2000s, his debut album Tha Block Is Hot was a success and went platinum in less than a month, Lights Out and 500 Degreez went gold. Tha Carter made Wayne massively popular and saved Cash Money, his feature on Destiny's Child Solider made him more popular, dropped successful mixtapes like Tha Drought 1, 2, and Squad Up series. Tha Carter 2 was a success, then he was on number 1 features with with Chris Brown, Lloyd, DJ Khaled, did Like Father Like Son which was a success and peaked at number 3, dropped the successful Drought 3. After that a bunch of Carter 3's leaked, more top 10 features then came Tha Carter 3 which made Wayne even more mainstream.
He's been killing that "in the building" line for YEARS
Lil wayne will always be one of the greatest. I lived down South during Peak wayne. So many great car rides with friends at that time who also knew all the words to every song 🤣
cherish those days.
Was playing this one yr outta high school. 35 now. Still the ish. Still my favorite rapper on baby!!💪🏽💪🏽
End of 2021 and still one of my favorite songs of Lil Wayne ever 🎶
December 2020!!!!
Yeeee listened to this my first time in 08 and I ain’t never stopped. I’ll still listen to it in 2040 if God let’s me make it to then. Forever da 🐐 💯 💜
Such a goated song 😭😭 🐐
Forever jamming this . Specially while smoking one 🎯
The 28th
Gat in my draws, money in my pocket, crack in my jaws and I hope it dont dissolve and you know I’m ducking 5-0 and my moms
Mixtape Wayne was the best Wayne 🐐
That part 💯
If this isn’t played during the Super Bowl they fumbled it MAJORLY
So many classic cuts weren't on the album, this is much better than that other shitty "La La La" version that was on Tha Carter 3.
Naah that shit dope
Lmao i was fooled by the track listing back in 08. I was expecting this joint
I like both
I’m telling y’all now. I AM LISTENING TO THIS IN 2020
Joe Yo yessir
Same man I'm rocking my 3month year old son to sleep right now to it he loves the hook #2020 #RIPKobe
And beyoooooooooond
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
of course
One of the best unreleased tracks of all time
No doubt
I’m 35 and I still know all the lyrics like when I was in high school. Wayne is and will always be a God Tier rapper.
Listening to this wayne back in the day always made me feel like I could overcome anything. The Weezy haters will never understand that feeling.
Born in New Orleans, raised in New Orleans, I will be forever faithful New Orleans!
awww mannn this takes me back!!! smoking weed in high school just living life to the fullest....
Matt the Creator Right the fucking days.
ain't that the truth! and I'm still smoking to this in 2015.
still dope af
Chase C!
AMEN to that bro
exactly bro
I was 21 blasting this, almost 40 now....still blasting this!!!
Amen 🙏 😅
“Can I kick my story to y’all my glory in God my faith in my flow I pray that I go where no other rapper has but when you’re rappin as vivid as I ya limit is the sky” word play
From rap to trap wayne has been here in the game for so long 🙏
If a musician has a 1/4 of the career that Wayne had/has they are very blessed! This man has like 40 GIGS worth of music recorded. 5 or 6 years ago I downloaded his discography... 30 gigs... that was then. So many amazing songs/mixtapes/albums. Lil Wayne is one of the best and should be in every ones top 10. If you say he says the same shit over and over, it might because he has probably rapped about everything there is to rap about LOL.
RonDonThePeoplesChamp is He is definitely not the best rapper even alive but he always has been and always will be my favorite rapler
@Chris Johnson you put in words perfectly how I feel about him
@Chris Johnson Thats bs Wayne's greatest songs are found on his mixtapes/underground music and most of it was great! Now if you're speaking of his mainstream stream songs, then that's another story...
Salute 🫡 a true wayniac
La la la ...man this song is classic. Untouchable no one dared to touch this beat other than Wayne
This brought me down memory lane. One of the best songs ever. And the melody oh Man dont even get me started🔥
this is just too good to embrace. the feeling. the music. the content. the spirit. the time in my life this takes me back too. epitome of bittersweet
Who here in 2024?
Me dog
Been here since middle school
Facts we never left never will
At least once a day loll
We here
I was 13 years old when this came out. First song I ever cried to. Lil Wayne will forever be the goat
I remember bumping this senior year 16 years ago. Still hits the same. Weezy a G and legend
2023, and this track still moves my spirit the way it did when I was a little bull headed 16yr-old driving around my neighborhood feeling like the King of the world. 😂 Long Live Lil' Weezyana! 🐐💫
One of my favorite Wayne songs man. Smh bring back a lot of teenage memories.
This would’ve been the perfect song for the superbowl 🙌🏾💯
2021 still listening, i first listened to this bootleg in summer of 07, I was 15 riding bike in mountains , south Germany on holiday at my uncle. I listented to this mixtape like 200 times and didnt skipped any song while i was riding bike near Peiting and Schongau, great memories :)
This was in the middle of a 4 year zone Wayne was in where he was just coming up with shit off the top of his head cause he was feeling the beat and his flow so much.
+F2D - Coming up with shit? He really spitting about him growing up in N.O.
+WrapWithVic 40 he meant he was just freestyling everything
Still is and always has. If you were a real fan you would know
+yaabuddyyy i though wayn was back until i heard no ceilling 2
+yaabuddyyy always has? his early shit was regrettable
2022 I'm still here, this shit sooooo under rated.
Classics never die

One love! SQUAD!
04-07 was Wayne’s true lyrical prime IMO
Man all of waynes song is so much of my childhood. I use to sing his lyrics running around the house, my religious conservative mom would be so angry. I had no care in the world. This song really touched a spot in my heart.
You just had to be there bro. Prime Wayne was like nothing else.
Exactly. The time of prime Wayne was a generally awesome time for music.
