Yes, Lil' Wayne has "crested." He's not turning out to be the kind of rapper he could have been... instead of being one of the all-time greats like Biggie, Pac, Jay, Nas, Kanye, etc. he's made the mistake of overextending himself. Of oversaturating hip hop with his face and his voice and his image and his hair and his releases upon releases, so many of which are not worth anyone's time...
But seriously, Carter I through 3, and all the mixtapes from that legendary era... it's all fucking gold. That was an impressive streak, and for a while there, Weezy was as big as a rapper can get. (in other words, he was as big as Jay-Z has been since around 2000).
BTW: Why can't you speak to Reasonable Doubt? If you can't speak to it because you haven't heard it, then you shouldn't try to speak to Jay-Z. Maybe give it a listen? Who knows, maybe you'll dig something.
Sorry I got fired up, but then I lost the fire. I have no energy and barely finished typing this abominable tirade.
