“Comfortable,” featuring Babyface and produced by Kanye West, has all of the makings of a smash hit, but leaked prematurely on The Drought Is Over 4, another tape full of would-be Carter III hits.Įven though the album had critical holes, its commercial success outweighed the reviews. The unofficial mixtape The Drought Is Over 2 is supposedly wrought with songs that were meant for the album. Scores of leaks meant that fans got both the final version of the album and the scraps that were left on the cutting room floor, for better and for worse. Unfortunately, what made Wayne such an intriguing artist is also what held back Tha Carter III from becoming the crown jewel of Wayne's album catalog (that would be Tha Carter II). Wayne still needed to fill an entire disc with his unique, scatterbrained approach, rapidly shifting between tones, moods, and sonic thumbprints. Of course, two singles do not make for a classic album. In the minds of many, Wayne was propped up to such a lofty status by all those downloads, by the CD-Rs with his name sprawled across them in Sharpie, and by the word of mouth that helped them spread from car rides around the hood to house parties that had people asking, “Yo, what is this?” after Wayne spazzed over an instrumental that belonged to someone else. This was a fanbase that was cultivated through the Sqad, Drought, and Dedication mixtapes that resided in the recesses of DatPiff and ZShare and spindles of burnt CDs. Fans felt like they had a hand in his success-in their success. The committed philanthropist founded The One Family Foundation too.More than anything, Wayne’s ascension to becoming one of the biggest and best musicians in the world worked because it felt organic and homegrown. The company ignited the careers of two of the most successful artists ever- Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Simultaneously, Wayne owns and operates Young Money Entertainment as C.E.O. " It all bulldozed the way for his thirteenth full-length and fifth #1 on the Billboard Top 200, Funeral, a year later. " Every song on the tracklisting charted on the Billboard Hot 100 as he became "the first artist to debut two songs in the top 5. Not only did it clinch #1 on the Billboard Top 200, but it also achieved "the second-largest streaming week for an album in history.
