He's probably the best known musician to come out of New Orleans in our generation which is pretty sad
Without a doubt. He is one of the biggest artists of the 21st century.
The thing that sucks the most about it is that he could have been one of the greatest hip-hop artists ever. His early stints with the Hot Boys and Cash Money Millionaires had all the signs of a child prodigy. Throughout the early aughts he improved. Dedication 2 and Da Drought 3 stand as triumphant works of the genre. Unfortunately after that, he fell off and fell off hard. I think a combination of drugs and stretching himself too thin over a variety of projects are to blame. He is certainly no Jay-Z in terms of being able to build and sustain an empire of sorts.

When the Carter 3 dropped he was the best in the game and on his way to being top 5 of all time. Then he just kept putting out weird decisions with his music. Like putting out a rock album. Then he's been on so many collaboration that he's become repettative over the years.

I've met his manager a few times, enough to carry on conversations when we see each other, and from what I can tell from talking to him, Wayne misses home, it's just probably not the best place for him. I think eventually he will end up back in NOLA, but for right now it's probably a wise decision to stay away.
