Why not, he said he retired so that's what it is

Wayne is great. But he wasn't that dude for Cash Money or for the Hot Boyz. That's why had to reinvent himself.
Carter 2.5 Wayne is when he became a megastar that's when he went on the feature run and Carter 3 was the coronation. A lot of the superfriends era has aged horribly though. You pretty much gotta skip to the Drake era to get to Wayne's biggest hits.
And like I was arguing before that's all well and good but how many records you gonna trot out there that aint solely yours? He got hot boy records, he got stunting like his daddy records, he got super friends records, he got ym records, but unless he gonna bring all those folks out (and fuck it, he might) he gonna have to rely on just his solos at some point. That's where fif could snipe him. 1 on 1. 50 is a better performer than Wayne. Specifically this drugged out version.
Luda was a joke response. And TI aint got 20 hit records. You'd be into album cuts and street records after song 15. 50 got 20 plus hit records for a verzuz. He don't gotta play Heat or any of the bullshit yall kicking. He could just hit you over the head with 20 radio hits, most of which he's the only featured artist.

You talking about Wayne's run in comparison to 50s. And yet despite Wayne dropping 3 times as many albums he still has sold less records. You underestimating 50s reign is the point. He can pull 20 bona-fide hits and all the hate in the world don't change that..........where did @HellCzar mention anything about album sales in that post. lol
Like I said...........

Jay, obviously made a specific decision to stop making the same kind of music that he made, because he was trying to elevate his stock as a businessman. Why people acting like Wayne on a head to head matchup is miles better? He gotta help jump 50 to leap over him.
That’s a microcosm of his career, his mixtapes was legendary because he was grifting off of people songs to raise his stock.

“Me personally, I wouldn’t even do 50 vs. Wayne. They’re two different dynamics and two different artists,” said the megaproducer while at a screening event in Los Angeles for the last episode of the “Godfather of Harlem.” Although, unlike 50, Swizzy is not against seeing the G-Unit and Young Money head honchos duke it out with other artists.
“I would do a different Verzuz for both of them, but we’ll see, as we have a lot of things lined up for Verzuz,” added the nine-time Grammy nominee. “Hopefully, they are involved,” he teased about the impending return of the popular concert/battle event. “While I can’t give up who I would choose to go against them, just wait and see,” - SWIZZ

With best friend, window shopper, outta control remix, the damn power intro, how to rob, whip your head, if I can't, baby by me, poppin them thangs, wanna get to know you etc. in case you gotta pivot and go another way. Although everyone of those songs listed went at least gold (save for patiently Waiting which wasn't a single---but Eminem

So you saw all them single sales Wayne had and just decided to drop something that wasn't asked for...........

Real shit, why does ANY of this matters?
The point is to name 20 hits. Does it matter at what point in his career the hits happened?

Cause Verzuz is a performance. And Wayne is either gonna have to share the stage a lot or he's gonna be performing his one part to A LOT of songs. Goldie jumped in here talmbout some back that azz up. They really think nigga bout to be on stage on some wobbly wobbly shit.
Point is 50 got at least 20 hits that can stand against damn near anybody. If it was a race to 50 yeah Wayne gonna beat him on volume of course. But Wayne out performing someone in this day and age and especially on his own? Not nearly the lopsided victory folks is portraying it as.
Wayne ain't got 20 to beat 50's 20

I responded in order that the shit was posted.
There's not really a point in doing singles since Wayne wins that on volume alone. Like I don't even have to look that up is the point you're making right? We know that.
But the fact that 50 STILL has sold more records than Wayne kinda defeats your other point about 50's "little" run. Ain't shit little about it and for that reason he could easily compete in a verzuz with Wayne or really just about anybody.
