Dad's First Reaction to Lil Wayne - A Milli

[@realhiphopfan1689]

Your dad is 100% correct in saying you’d have to be in a confident space in your career. Wayne was on top of the world when he released this song. He was in the middle of one of the greatest runs in hip hop history

[@NepGangster]

Everything that man touched that time turned in to gold.

[@johnnyblingg]

frfr, i imagine, in my lifetime, that’s the closest I’ve seen any musician enter a “Michael Jackson mode”. And i don’t ever make that comparison or make it lightly.

[@BeautiJunkie]

Absolutely!

[@miclarry119]

This refers to the phrase "C3 threepeat." The Carter III being his third consecutive studio album reaching platinum status. Which equates to a triple championship in sports.

[@superfast30]

Agreed! Wayne was unstoppable!

[@TCGDilly]

The fact your dad is picking up lyrics from others songs and listening to some of these songs on his own time is amazing to me!

[@user-bx4bo3xd4e]

[@rachellejones6254]

I agree…. Tbh, he’s better than I can. 😆🥹

[@HeirSulli]

Was literally about to mention this. It’s the respect of it all. 💪🏾💪🏾

[@NoRockinMansLand]

I live his genuine interest

[@notgonnaputmyrealname]

Please dont forget one of Wayne's most Iconic lines. "Make sure you wear a latex, cause you dont want that late text , that 'i think I'm late text' ". Recently a video of Wayne went viral cause even he couldn't believe he said that.

[@JC-bp5dw]

I can't get enough of watching someone really experiencing music I know and strong for the first time. I love how he doesn't get caught up on the language and hears it as music and expression from a different culture. Like, that he doesn't "get it" doesn't mean that there's something wrong with "it." That's dope.

[@Utubeuser101]

Loved the way you worded this

[@fuckdicat]

Exactly this. If everyone was this open minded the world would be a beautiful place

[@PacificCoastHustle]

This is all lyricism and wordplay. Song structure is put to the side to show you he has metaphors and similes and entendres and every piece of creative language and verbal acrobatics that can compete with any artist out! Milli is a statement record!! The Workd knew Wayne was a serious problem at this point.

[@st_marymary2711]

Well put. I enjoy Blunt Blowin to this day. (Even though I usually listen to CHH these days 👀)

[@Straightprimo]

Yeah well said! This is more of a showcase for the people who are really into the words and flows etc. at this time we heard him on so many hits it was great to hear him let loose on this one no rules 🔥

[@lordehooks7799]

100%

[@shareenlawson2666]

And for all these reasons in my opinion thats what gives it structure. It’s just different.

[@fuckdicat]

Yeah, just freestyle and bars, this song lowkey IS hip hop

[@elemaire86]

Look at your dad quoting rappers to connect the dots. Lol That Nas reference came out of nowhere.

[@giftedpurpose5369]

So 🔥

[@ImxPhreme]

It’s important to mention how BIG this song was when it came out. All over the radio, MTV, everything. I never thought of it as an odd song, but I can see that. Crazy cause it was so accessible at the time

[@lastmexicano]

I remember my neighbor got his sound system upgraded so he could bump this song. That bass was so strong it would vibrate every window he drove by

[@PrestigeFinesse]

Can’t wait till the R&B reactions start, pop’s life is gonna change😂 Jodeci, New Edition, Kem, Donnel Jones, Brian Mcknight, Dru Hill…sheeeshh!!🙌🏾🙏🏾

I think your dad will love the emotion in some of the R&b songs like jagged edge, Boyz to men . Etc from the 90's to early 2000's

[@bmartin4549]

I can’t wait!!!

[@lordehooks7799]

Your relationship with your Dad is awesome to see! And I never thought watching someone discovering music would be so enjoyable.

[@jamesparker7016]

Dad: “Your expectations of me are quite high at this point” *Quotes Illmatic* Our expectations are quite high now lol

[@enochabraham688]

The “owe you” is also a nod to Wheel of Fortune I believe, where you have to pay money in order to call a vowel out. And C3, 3-peat is just a reference to the Carter 3 being another critically-acclaimed addition to the Carter trilogy at the time.

[@malikap3774]

Thank you!! I was looking forward to someone explaining this to him! Being a huge fan of him at the time -I remember how important this album was to us as fans 💪🏽 💯!

Do "I Feel Like Dying" for the next Lil Wayne song. That song was waaaay ahead of it's time. It's one of Wayne's more laid back songs and I feel like your dad would appreciate it.

[@snowdjagha]

The dad remembering all these random lines in lyrics from all the different rappers is so damn satisfying. I love when someone dives head first into the culture like your dad is doing.

[@nerdlarge4691]

Wayne had a run between 2004-2014 where he was arguably the top rapper in the game. When he changed up his style on "Da Carter" and started using a NYC like Flow with those down south New Orleans tracks, it was over for all other rappers for a minute. Eventually, Wayne became so influential, NYC rappers starting mimicking Southern artists like him in their appearance and in even their sound.

[@aj_412]

FINALLY MORE LIL WAYNE!! I love your music taste because you’ve listen to more classic hip hop than I’ve had but it’s because I started listing to rap when WAYNE was in his bag n when this came out I MEMORIZED IT FRONT TO BACK!!

[@adventureswithripnlips9165]

Just found the channel. Don't have a father currently Alive. He absolutely hated most genres of music that was not classic rock. I love your pops reaction to an amazing artist and incredible song. Your dad is dope!

[@mannyswank9142]

Mr Carter is a must. It has a hook and some of Wayne’s best wordplay

As a big wayne fan, I feel like I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to introducing weezy to someone who dosent know his music! He got so much stuff released you cannot stop there. Great video 👍🏽

Yupp, he basically have 5 different eras and sounds

[@KB24FOREVER8]

BRO hustler musik has been one of my favorites for over a decade. awesome that your dad connects to it.

[@RaveBeGaming]

C3 = Carter 3 Three peat is also referring to the Carter 3. It’s his 3rd album in the series. Just like when u win 3 championships in a row. They call it a 3 peat

[@korgy321]

Remember the Cavs hype video with LeBron coming back from 3-1 down in the finals to win it all. This is the song they played.

The video is everything to this song, you get the sense of doing it all in one take spontaneously.

[@honeybaby51]

I love that Mr. Dad mentioned Nas🤣🤣 Beautiful Dad/Son bonding😍

[@soundsandwords]

Wayne's been active since the 90s. He has albums before the Carter series. They're pretty good. One of my favorite pre-Carter Wayne tracks being "Tha Blues." Certainly of the time, but you can see the talent in the child. Baby (Birdman) didn't let Wayne use profanity until he turned 18, so his teenage music is expressive but not profane. Really a fascinating career.

[@samantha9445]

How quickly some forgot he was featured on Destiny’s Child hits 👀

[@AB-in2tj]

Right!? I was like "3rd album!? Try 6th!"

[@queendygravy9437]

“This would be a hard one to rap along to” …..me who had this entire song memorized since I was 13 😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏

[@Archt1cStreams]

First time hearing this too. Love your dads honesty about it cause that’s what I felt about it

[@01gtbdaily30]

“C3 like 3Peat” means Carter 3 and it’s his 3rd album. 3 peat like winning three championships in a row.

[@lilmik551]

It's not his 3rd album its jus the 3rd carter

[@jenb.9454]

Two things that would be helpful to know when understanding this track: 1) it is a freestyle (i.e., completely spontaneous); 2) it is an example of playing the dozens/signifying/high-capping, a Black American performative tradition wherein a person magnifies their own persona through clever storytelling or wordplay while degrading another person's persona for the purpose of entertaining an audience.

[@leonthethird7494]

pretty sure its written in the tablet in his mind

[@MrMacadamien]

What will it take for you guys to do more Wayne reactions, and being that I see your dad it's into the more substance songs of Wayne, here are 5 that I think he will really enjoy. 1. Tie my hands 2. Shoot me down 3. Let it all work out 4. Open letter 5. Can't be broken

Great video guys! Soooo glad yall are doing lil wayne. He practically birthed today's hip hop with his influence. Most rappers today have stated Wayne is their favorite including Kendrick Lamar on several occasions. Wayne is my favorite by a long shot and I'm glad my favorite reactors are diving into the massive catalog. Hope u dive into some of his lesser radio hits as well!

[@iconicamericano1131]

Who else thinks they'd love "Still Fly" by Big Tymers? His dad loves the big production/orchestral sounding beats. It's a must listen for new Wayne fans.

[@lastmexicano]

Who remembers foos bumping this song with the bass all the way up😂

[@PhoenixEMichelle]

Your Dad is so cool!! No matter how distasteful the lyrics are he still receives it and feels it!!

[@DannyBedo]

The “choppa” line is a quintandre, choppa is a gun, choppa is the cops in a helicopter, he’s physically chopping the word verbally as well as finishing “a line” (verbal and written making the allusion to chopping lines of drugs). Wayne does this constantly wether it’s lines that are referencing current affairs of the times within his metaphors and similes, or cutting deep word play with diss mentality. Lyrical genius

[@modest1989]

Yeah it's not that deep. He's really just referring to a gun on this one

[@dropsey3007]

wayne is very talented, very lyrical, i appreciate the comment you made, :)

[@stevofla239]

That's a reach

[@SeancGilchrist]

I'm 49 and this is one of my favorite Wayne songs. The other is Lollipop.

[@YourFavoriteSwiftie]

A fellow 49 year old soccer mom here! My favorites are the exact same! One of my favorite memories was about 5 years ago, I was in the kitchen baking with my headphones on. I was listening to and I guess singing a bit too loud to "Lollipop". I felt a tap on my shoulder and my then 12 year old son said accusingly "Mom, how do YOU know Lil'Wayne?!" I smiled and said "Question is, how do YOU know him?! You might not believe this, but once upon a time, your Mama had it goin' on!" He walked away shaking his head and later, I heard him saying to my youngest son "You won't believe what I heard Mom singing to today! She was listening to Lil'Wayne, Drake, Juice Wrld and Tupac!" 😆

[@83HURSTROCKET]

Bro your dad is so hip! I love how he remembered about Nas and Jay too

[@GoogleAccount00]

Chopper is a gun. That’s what he’s referring to. Wayne is of the streets.

[@rachellejones6254]

Omg…. That is almost 15 years ago. Damn…

[@PHONIBRAXTON]

Hey Kai and Dad! when wayne says c3 3peat at the end C3 = (CARTER 3) its just a acronym for the Carter 3. 3peat means this was the THIRD Carter album in the trilogy. It sold 1 million in a week . In sports a 3peat is when a team wins 3 championships back to back to back meaning they on top. Wayne was saying his first two albums was classic now the third one (C3 aka Carter 3) will be another classic. Which means he wins again lol. C3. 3peat it's just him saying the name of the album, and saying he wins the Rap game yet again with another classic🔥 Ps( Kai dad should react to MR CARTER. another classic on the album. He'd love it . It featured Jay z!)

[@stevofla239]

They explained that in the video already

[@Jennx7080]

I cannot love this enough ❤️ Mom & I communicated thru music...she'd also indulge me...when I played this for her she listened to the whole thing then asked me to translate the art of lyrics for her then she listened again & was so impressed. She took my musical interest seriously, miss ya mama!

[@blookeeng8549]

You should REALLY show him "Georgia Bush" or "Nightmares Of The Bottom" by Lil Wayne. 👀I feel like he might enjoy "She Will" and "How To Love" from Carter IV, too.

[@unQuestionable69]

"C 3" stands for Carter 3. And "3peat" means that this is the third Carter album he's made.

[@brando1376]

i think one of the most iconic things about this song is that there is i believe four different versions that were released and leaked before the album version came out many fans fight and argue to this day about which version is the best‼️

[@jackriddle07]

C3 = Carter 3 3 Peat = When a sports dynasty wins 3 championships in a row, its considered a 3 Peat

[@nousername2942]

Please react to this entire album! Such a masterpiece and really shows where rap was in the late 2000s! At the very least can you let him hear Dr. Carter? I think he'd really appreciate the storytelling.

[@beesmitty3435]

Gotta show your dad lil Wayne's "something you forgot" his most emotional song about his separation from his baby mama. Also p*ssy, money, weed.. absolutely hypnotic song that despite it's obviously crass nature is dare I say beautiful.. ok maybe not but both of those songs have a lot of musical elements your dad will be able to appreciate.

[@BigCrossVita]

Dad took the words right from my head. I was going to say, U can tell Wayne had fun on this track 🤗 This was definitely different for him which is probably why it's such a fan fav. He clearly could've used a more practical cadence but he stomped on that drum the entire track which made it such a great song to play in your car. Especially if U have Bose 🙌🏽

[@miclarry119]

The mention of Andre 3000 of Outkast by Lil Wayne and Eminem should have led you to him by default. Shout outs are a form of respect and admiration so coming from those two, should tell you something about his influence on the rap game. Players Ball is a Christmas song that I love cause it portrays holidays from another perspective of life. Southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik is a showcase of his lyrical talent. You guys are great! Keep it up!
