Yeah. On a mainstream level. They were almost “dead”. Juvie seemed to be doing fine. BG gone. Turk on hair-on and in jail.
And I vividly remember people counting them out. But Stunna & Wayne & Fresh kept it afloat. Especially Beatrice. He doesn’t get enough credit for just trying ****.
This when Baby was really an artist. ***** had a best of both worlds with R Kelly . Signing ******s from everywhere. Big Tymers. TQ. Boo n Gotti, Curren$y. Young Money (saved them). Lots of random ****. Most of it wasn’t even mainstream.
The Wayne mixtapes were fire tho. Really set the stage for Wayne. SQ series, Suffix, Prefix etc, then 500 Degreez (Underrated) right up to Dedication & Carter 1.
It’s my favorite era of Lil Wayne.
I can tell you really a fan. I remember this era all too well.
I remember still fly kinda catching people off guard because CM was in turmoil somewhat publically.
Baby believing in Wayne, and letting him grow as an artist via the mixtapes was really dope. Wayne somewhat warms up to become a legend on those SQAD tapes.
