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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
RIP my boy Stevie. We used to get stoned and listen to Wayne all day back when we were selling herb outta his 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.
@@jamelholoman9229 my boy got a bad bag and died to a fent overdose unfortunately. dont do drugs kids, shit isnt even worth fuckin around with these days.
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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
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
@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.
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.

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.
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.
33 year old white boy from the burbs of Boston. Listening to this since ‘07, still in the building, like the audience, just lightin up my (now legal) -
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
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
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!!
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
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.
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 🐐 💯 💜
He set it but the game some how got twisted along the way and everybody got put on for some weak so-called flows and radio bangers and no longer needed the flow that was needed back then too thrive
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 🤣
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...
Man I remember when this shit came out my middle school days and I remember I used to blast this song out when I used to go with my cousin and swim man I miss those summers time changed
As a 23 year old , I’m glad to say I grew up in the last good era of music. Lil wayne always been my fav artist since I was able to comprehend his music.
“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
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 :)
Been blasting this since I was in highschool. I'm 31 now.
sameeeeeeeeee
Me too man. School days Wayne was my favourite artist
Real shit I remember them stoner days
On our annual family vacation, bro and i were just discussing the same 🤣
Yes 😅
I'm 29 & I'm blessed to say that I got to experience Wayne in his prime.. Shits unmatched!
Same!
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
Same brutha!
Same shit
Same here ..same age bro. Coming from Cleveland Oh.. I AGREE!
Swear if Wayne just remastered and rereleased this and any other cut that didn’t make tha carter III it would blow up like its 2008 all over again.
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.
No Ceilings out now!!

RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS
I WILL FOREVER REMAIN FAITHFUL NEW ORLEANS ⚜️
Bruh this bring me back when days were sunnier and better 😭😭🔥🔥
Foreal fam. 2005-2012 was low-key the golden age
Amen nigga
Wayne was my life from 06-14 then I fell off personal shit but dude is my 🐐
Money was definitely floating around then 954
Preach!! 90's-2012
The Carter 3 was a great album. But just imagine if the original tracks were never leaked. The sales would have been insane.
This wayne is one of the goats... No doubt about it.
One of the best unreleased tracks of all time
No doubt
Can’t lie I’ve been listening to this since I was young and still gives me the same vibes in 2022 🔥🔥
Yes sir
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.
Nothing beats prime Wayne
Yes sir
Facts
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

Matt the Creator Right the fucking days.

Chase C!
AMEN to that bro
exactly bro
33 year old white boy from the burbs of Boston. Listening to this since ‘07, still in the building, like the audience, just lightin up my (now legal) -
Spread the stream, so when they see me, they change their behavior and I'll be able to notice.
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
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
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
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
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
Wayne’s ‘07 mixtapes are better than most 2020 albums. He truly was the best rapper alive and he never shied away from saying it.
Facts
If this isn’t played during the Super Bowl they fumbled it MAJORLY
Im 32 years old now and still can't shake our music back then 😢 life was beautiful 😅
I will forever remain faithful New Orleans..
I SAW U ON SEAMUS' VIDEOS
Or until Green Bay gets to the Super Bowl
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!!

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
That first verse is just fucking flawless
EazyyMuthuLovinnE man ain’t it tho..
Whenever I play this I always have to run that first verse back 2 or 3 times.
2nd and 3rd too!
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.
The Carter III is a classic!! It will get play time for decades to come.
Carter 2 was better
by far
this wasn't even I carter 3 it was on the one which wasn't released
what?
this was on the carter 3mixtape
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
He set a standard that most wont even understand to see it
He set it but the game some how got twisted along the way and everybody got put on for some weak so-called flows and radio bangers and no longer needed the flow that was needed back then too thrive
Roger Fernandez yeah but I’m only talking about Wayne . That dude can rap . Everything else is just a knock off
Drought 3 and that era of Wayne was unmatched for multiple years after it came out
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.
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
He's been killing that "in the building" line for YEARS
Mixtape Wayne was the best Wayne 🐐
That part 💯
Born in New Orleans, raised in New Orleans, I will be forever faithful New Orleans!
dont say nothing just listen and go back into time... Memories..
Jesse Castro EVERY TIME. i hear this i stroll through memory lane. this song has always done that to me.
There’s a few that do this to me and is this one and 93 till and mass appeal
Word...take you right back to the good old days
Crazy just happen to me!
When Wayne was still hungry he was a rap god.
Reality IsFalse he was in a zone for like 5 years
+F2D now the dude is chillin hard hanging and skating with pros .. having a fun ass time.. hes letting drake mop it up right now
+F2D More like 20 years
His zone was from 05-10
The Logician are you crazy? No celings.. sorry for the wait.. dedication 4..
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.
nobody knows Wayne like we do.
Mizzter Thomas its a shame that people prefer young thug etc over wayne
Whos young thug?¿ haha
Hell yeah if your under 21
🤧
Yessir
Man I remember when this shit came out my middle school days and I remember I used to blast this song out when I used to go with my cousin and swim man I miss those summers time changed
Shit shole changed alot but #StayUp doe 💯👌
Yeah i remember bumpin' this shit on the bus on my shitty ass MP3 player in middle school.
End of 2021 and still one of my favorite songs of Lil Wayne ever 🎶
Would've been a perfect song for the Superbowl
Said da samething... 😢
This would be fire at the Super Bowl
Really 😂😂😂 To me it doesn't feel like superbowl. It feel like inauguration party 🎉🎉🎉🎉 GO Donald!
How did he rhyme holygrove for a whole verse 😩 a man said chromosome, handle bars, don’t dissolve
Cause he's a lyrical genius.
forever on repeat
This is one of those songs that brings you back and might bring a tear to your eye.
Right 😢high school days
This bring me back 10 years . Music still don't go this hard.
Don’t mind me I’m just reminiscing and just appreciating greatness in 2023!
First ever rapper to use the word slime let’s put some respect on that
It’s 2022 going on 2023 and this song is still on the top of my playlist! “I’m ducking 5.0 and my moms” I felt that bar in my heart and soul thug! ❤
Yeah he went crazy
Street shit. 🖤🔥🖤

As a 23 year old , I’m glad to say I grew up in the last good era of music. Lil wayne always been my fav artist since I was able to comprehend his music.
Old classic hidden gems like this is why I justify having yt premium
It’s worth it UA-cam music is another app basically fr

“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
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 :)
