Hahaha I agree but seriously like if you listen to Carter 2 and dedication 5 its sounds like 2 different rappers....

I think the drugs took homie down from his dominance. I never felt like he ever was the best rapper but he was the hottest at his peak. He had a good run at the top but I doubt he will ever get back to the Carter 2 Lil Wayne.. Carter 2 and the mixtapes and features around that time was his best spitting imo.. By the time Carter 3 dropped I began to spot the fall off and now its obvious to the masses..

IDK, I'd say there were a lot of factors.
1. People began to embrace him most around the D3 era which was already a dumbed down version of himself. The positive reinforcement probably led him to believe that people wanted the basic punchlines more than they wanted his more well rounded C2/D2 material.
2. Drugs
3. Oversaturation...Too many people wanted verses, obviously there will be a dip in quality. Also this coincided with him touring more and doing more show = less time to work on rap.
4. It's hard to keep one style for an elongated period. Influences change, inspirations change...the growth of an artist never stops.

Also I think it is hilarious that OP thinks he fell off after Carter 4, he fell off like 4-5 years before that. Not that you're necessarily wrong, but perspective is a funny thing.

It happened after "No Ceilings". That's when we started to see Wizzle change. "Dedication 5" was a good sign though and some of "I'm Not a Human Being 2" was nice. He'll be back, just wait on it.

I mean he damn sure wasn't popping in 93 and he "retired" for 2 years, so that line is a little confusing.

This. He started catering to the mainstream and started to make more money.
I went to the AMW tour this summer here in Jersey and I was surprised to see that it was more of a suburban crowd that was in attendance and they were going crazy for him. There was even an Amish guy rocking out there.
He has fallen off, but he has become a household name during this period of time. Why fix what isn't broken.

This. It would have been a completely different story if he didnt choose to over saturate the game by putting out a song a week back then. He really has rapped more than anyone ever, and its probably not even close.
