I loved the carter 3 when it dropped when I was a freshman in high school but I also loved this album when it came out. It showed his versatility and love for some other genres. I think it came with his skating tbh and just his vibe

Wayne is the reason we see rappers trying different styles today .. a lot of rappers wanna be rockstars cuz of him . I remember when ppl didn’t like when Wayne experimented with this style of rap & I absolutely loved it. Gotta respect his courage for taking these risks it opened up a lot of doors for the rappers today 💯
