Damn, is everyone riding Lil Wayne's nut sack for relevance nowadays? Please excuse my language, but while watching a video grinded by Kdollaz1, I couldn't help but think "When will it all end"? In the video, Diddy sits next to Lil Wayne and asks him to explain the secrets to success. While he's co-signing the things Wayne has to say, in the back of my mind all I could hear is "Take That Take That Take That" reminiscent of Diddy's trademark of hollering over records in the 90's. What was the purpose of this video? Not really to promote Lil Wayne, but to promote Diddy, or shall I say Diddy.com as it is embedded at the bottom of the video.
In the past few months, the "Grab A Wayne - Win Some Relevance" saga has blown to new portions as he has been enlisted by every artist in the industry to do a feature. Never mind that he says he charges 100k a record to drop 16 bars, never mind that he may never have to put out another album or do another show to stack millions if that's actually the rate he's charging. And let's not forget the "A Milli" beat which has become THE track to rhyme over in the past few weeks. To date, over 20 artists have freestyled over the beat including Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Fabolous, Papoose, Lil Mama, Cassidy and Jay-Z.
So I have to ask, while people are proclaiming him the Best Rapper Alive (or maybe he's pro-claiming himself that) and he's trying to satisfy everyone by being on everything, will over-saturation be the cause of Lil Wayne's demise? Are artists using him to gain relevance, all the while killing his career?
