He was the first one to catch a buzz online and utilize it by dropping back to back. Such a great time, I remember fake DJ's making fake mixtapes and pissing him off but then he later apologized because he realized how much it boosted his career. Such a great time in hip hop.

Dedication 2 is definitely a classic. 2006 back in the high school days. Good times!

That was a lifestyle in east side Nola from sqad up to dedication it was krazy around those days

This explains a lot about the first one😮😮😮 Being from New Orleans there was 2 different versions floating around and it would start arguments about which one was legit.

I agree with him although drought 3 and suffix are 2 of my favs also but the track dedication 2 is my favorite wayne freestyle and maybe song ever.

No Ceilings is the best compilation of songs in Weezy's history.

Gangsta grillz 💪🏽

Squad up tapes was hard asf them versus on some on them squad up songs was the best shit ever heard from a pair of ears

Dedication 1&2 & drought 3 are by far the best mixtapes of all time

Dedication 2 Drought 3 N No Ceilings was fire and the honorable mention goes to The Suffix mixtape with Secret Weapon and Dj Khaled was tough too

I meet wayne in Louisville with the Hotboys backstage in 98 also meet slim & baby. Manny was my size and I was in 9th grade. They were so cool. Seen in concert 3 times now all of em. Epic, like Eminem and Luda for eminem show. And roc the mic with Jay snoop 50 Missy

I feel you drama and I might have agreed with you until no ceilings
