absolutely amazing, I have NO doubts in c4 now. This is story telling at its finest
- ITSaCOLE KRITworld
  
  whats story was told here??? i like the song, its one of the best hes put out in a year but he had a big oppurtunity to remake stan and he still doesnt really tell a story in his song bcuz he cant. he just did the same thing hes been doin forever just flowin line after line not even really connectin em.
  
  The man everyone calls “best rapper alive” cant even put together a story in one song.
  
  i like wayne but c4 is gonna be the worst of all 4. he hasnt been in my top 10 since c3
  - hellooo hi
    
    well sactually the story in the song is wayne writin this “anne” about his life. it is def not story telling at its finest or on the same level as stan but theres somewhat of a story.
    
    damn imagine j. cole on a track like this. killers is the best story tellin track released in a while. cole wud of did stan justice
  - Jim Paponetti
    
    I seriously wonder if you haters even listen to the song lol. He doesnt connect his lines? LOL what are you talking about? This song pretty much has nothing to do with stan, its completely different. Like i said, story telling at its finest.
    - Thomas
      
      I seriously wonder if you know how to even read a story, story telling at its finest is slick rick, this isnt a story dumb ass
      - JIm Paponetti
        
        lmao your right, its not a story, its just random words that mean nothing. Go fondle on Ems balls you fruitcake. You actually think Bad meets evil the sequel is on par with MMLP LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
      - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001118268894 Stephen Papstein
        
        so you would place this above or at the same level as Slick Rick narrative? You are gonna have a hard time defending that point
      - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti
        
        LMAO slick rick, take the head out of ur ass and stop living in the past.
      - Thomas
        
        Why didnt wayne say he had a song dedicated to Jim on c4
        
        Damn son you must suck good dick pause
  - DWHITE
    
    this is to the hater okbye that tried to shit on wayne’s COMPLEX ryhme scheme, time to ether u dude & show you most of you guys don’t know shit about it, it’s called MULTI SYLLABIC RYHMING WHICH IS COMPLEX, EMINEM JAYZ TI WAYNE JCOLE MOST HIGH LEVEL LYRICIST DO IT, CASSIDY AND LUDICRIS EMPHASIZES THEIR SYLLABLES THAT RYHME, WAYNES IS THE SLICKEST OTHER THAN JAYZ.
    
    I QUOTE FROM THIS TRACK, RANDOMLY
    
    “im SURE like WHITE SAND that they’ll be PRICE PAYIN beFORE my FLIGHT LAND, but still i wanna see MORE my SIGHT CAN”
    
    THATS 4 AND A HALF BARS, HE DOES THIS THROUGH OUT THE TRACK AND EVERY TRACK BUT YOU IDIOTS LISTEN TO THE LAST WORD AND THINKS TAHT IS RHYMING, U HAVE JUST BEEN LYRICALLY EDUCATED. #multisllabicrhymescheme
    - DWHITE
      
      not to mention the pun on sure (shore) like white sand SHIT LIKE THIS GOES OVER ALL OF YALL HEADS CAUSE YALL DONT PAY ATTENTION. play on words with price payin, pay a price before his flight lands but STILL, i wanna see more my sight can, that’s like 4 and a half bars out of like 70 stop hatin and start analyzin greatness, im out.
    - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
      
      Oh WOW you sure did Ether me. I did not know about Multi Syllabic Rhyming that you claim ONLY Wayne and Jay Z does it the best. That is probably because I rarely listened to Jay Z and hate Wayne. So I wouldn’t know about it DAMN ME… I missed out totally, but we all know Wayne and Jay Z are your two favorite rappers lol. My favorite rappers don’t have a clue on how to Multi Syllabic rhyme and their lyrics are so much more dumb down than Wayne’s. Really Wayne’s dumbed down retard lyrics are so hard to understand I can’t get pass the first verse… This song actually makes me feel brain dead it is SO COMPLEXED DAMN IT! Crooked I don’t got shit on Wayne your so right… Crooked can’t rap for shit and lacks the lyrical compatibility that Wayne possess. You told me, Hip-hop genius of Defsounds who ranks Wayne #1 and Jay Z #2 of all time. SMDH!
      - http://defsounds im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe
        
        @ dwhite i can ether u at any given time i feel LIKE it, but ill just keep it short, I give mad props to this song that being said he doesn’t do this at all no more, out of 20 songs, one would be like this, if that,…so that’s what people really bitch about, well obviously there’s some actual haters that if he was to come out with the carter 2 again they would hate, but for the most part i think its just the percentage of good music he does that people bitch about, on a another note why is everyone in love with evil2keoms, not that i really care but he says two words and gets propped out the ass, was he a founder of the site??, I’m saying wtf was he that he gets so much praise that every time he puts a couple words up u guys prop the shit out him.
        
        ” F_ck. Must be an album track…
        well…this is a wayne thread….so.
        *leaves*”
        
        ^^^wtf is the big woop about that statement that he gets 10 props, I’m just saying yall on his dick for no reason, just saying, but being that you guys are on his dick a lot I’m going to get the shit trashed out of me for this lol
      - Thomas
        
        Lmao his name is OkBye and your going to try and call him out on multi syllabic rhyme scheme, rofl why arent these kids banned whitefolks?
      - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
        
        ^–Incase my above statement went over many heads. I was being EXTREMELY Sarcastic lol. I think Wayne lacks any lyrical linguistics lol!
      - SchizNicca
        
        if u think dis dude and Jay got da most clever rhyme schemes u BRAIN DEAD..shit would explain why u say half of da dumb shit u do..dat shit u quoted was like da only example of internal and external rhyme patterns in da whole song who u foolin? and since u normally like 2 quote 1 liners lets focus on dat lame shit “im sure(shore) like white sand”..shit is a corny ass punchline if i ever heard 1..u call dis “greatness”..u soundin like an anne 2 me..haha smarten da fuck up bruh im out

and this will be on c4, Swizz passed the track down to Wayne
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti
  
  o wow, guess not. Well if this isnt on c4, i can only imagine the tracks on c4
http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!

Oh wow how original… The rhyme scheme was bad. Rhyming Anne, stand, can, band, land through out the track is not really difficult. To top it off it won’t be on the C4? Wow and this is better than all 4 singles that we have heard from C4.
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti
  
  lmao you are a pure hater man.
  - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
    
    Your probably right. I am a pure Wayne hater because he has yet to impress me with anything since his “Prison” release. This is actually better than any single he has released off of C4 and its not gonna be on C4? That’s funny… I just not feeling the Stan remake with Anne… Stan was original Wayne needs to come up with something to call his own… No, Weezy F Baby and the F stand for F*** Me is not original.
- urmomsplumber
  
  ur f***kin stupid obviously u dont listen because all that stand land man rhyme scheme you were whining about hes rhyming the last two words of every bar not just the last word. its like u people dont even listen. whoe gives a F**K who made the song either you like it or you dont. its the content of the music that should make you like a song or not, not because ur pussy gets stale whenever you think of how much more money he makes than all your fav rappers put together… cough slaughterhouse. doesnnt matter how good lebron thinks he is with no rings. dont care how good a rapper is if he cant sell an album.
  - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
    
    Hahaha, that is hilarious. I hate on Wayne because he makes more money than Slaughterhouse? Are you a Wayne toad? Seriously why the hell would I care if he sold out to more females and fake suburbanite wannabe Rock n Roll Bloods lol. I don’t give a shit if people wanna waste their dough on a subpar pop singer “rapper”! Slaughterhouse (Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce), Eminem, Elzhi, Nas, Freddie Gibbs, Wale, Mobb Deep, Tech N9ne, Curren$y, HorseShoe GANG, One-2, Lupe, Saigon, among many other REAL Emcees are 100x better than Wayne are all still making quality music. I am not understanding your point? I am jealous that he makes more than my favorite rapper? That is a retard statement from a TRUE Wayne Anne lol…
  - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
    
    I can throw your argument right back into your face. Can Wayne out sell Eminem? Oh wow your rapper can’t out sell my rapper. You must be a hater damn go and hate Wayne can’t out sell Eminem on his worst day lol SMDH…. See how stupid the argument is?? Wayne will never be half the lyricist any member of Slaughterhouse or Eminem are TRUE Story!

      i dont remember relapse selling a million its first week.. recovery either.. why do all you guys who “hate wayne sooooo much hes weak hes garbage.. but yet you comment multiple times on EVERY wayne post.. EVERY ONE!!!!! not just your dumass either the whole site… how is waynes articles always the most commented/viewed and all it is whiny f****g b****s crying about i hate wayne he sucks so stop clicking the links you dumbass! i dont fuck with the whole lil b the fag god either but you dont see me on EVERY SINGLE article about him crying and whining. boo f***ing hoo. and of course your dumass still didnt catch the whole point of the comment its not simple to rhyme the last two words of every bar. maybe you should go listen to eminem talking about puttin his penis in somebodys anus thats obviously more your type of music
      - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
        
        Hahaha, I like how you compare Lil Wayne’s Carter III to Relapse or even Recovery… Recovery came really close for a bad economy, but we will see how good your rapper will do with Carter 4. Well he may just do it since he is a pop singer now lol… Females and idiots like you still buy his garbage. Since you want to compare though here is alittle history for you.
        Eminem appears on this list once again with his sophomore album, The Marshall Mathers LP. Selling over 1.7 million copies during the first week of it’s May 23rd, 2000, release, The Marshall Mathers LP quickly became the fastest-selling rap album in history, almost tripling the record set by Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle and crushing the record for highest one-week sales by a solo artist previously held by Brittney Spears. The Marshall Mathers LP has sold over 10 million records in the US and is one of only four rap albums to achieve an RIAA Diamond Certification.
        
        All Wayne’s albums combined has not out sold just the Marshall Mather’s LP… Nuff said… Get off Wayne’s nutz, guess you trying to claim Rockstar Wayne is better than Lyricist Eminem? smdh

If it’s any consolation, I liked the beat..

the only song i liked so far and i isn’t even on the album. F*** this shit.
http://defsounds im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

k this what everyone wants and prays for weezy will come back to instead of the one liners,..this is the reason why i started listen to weezy, and chaliefag dnt say shitt about me playing both sides or being fake, its called liking an artist b/c of his music not his lifestyle so when u defend him like you do, theres no reason to, and this does not validate your dickriding when artists make bad music you don’t support it, and when they do you do support them, like in this case, on another is the track eminem rejected or didn’t get on? well if it is em is dumb as shitt, this beat is fire and em and Wayne would of been good too
http://deleted Jaffar

This isn’t that bad actually. That hook was worth listening to and the piano was smooth. Wasn’t so jaw dropping lyrically (not even an iota of what “stan” was), but it’s good for Wayne… I guess.

True Wayne
BlazeA50

Why is this called “Stan Pt.2″? is it suppose to be like a follow up to Eminems “Stan”? like what is part 1? btw very good song
wtfaard

This song is fukking garbage. Hey Jim, stop rotating on Weezy’s dick you assclown.
KingCassius

awesome song
slimanus

It’s funny comparing this to Stan and realizing how much better of an artist Eminem truly is.

This is better than EVERYTHING that we heard from C4 so far. How the fuck could it not be on the album.

No lyrical content, all beat.

Deres a story yet it lacks a plot only a beginning, call it what u may but it is a story not jus a normal 1 dat connects each scene wit another.
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti
  
  do you realize how dumb you sound? There is a story but no plot? You cant have a story without plot you idiot. A plot is events that make up a story. Lmao wonder why defsounds is dying down. There community is half retarded. Im boutta be like Lebron and take my talents down to hiphopDX.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti

lmao yall haters opinions mean nothing. Every single site other than this is loving this song. Yall say some of the dumbest shit I ever hurd and yall have no credibility at all.
- http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
  
  ^—-Hahaha, there are 41 people from this site that liked it on FB. Me not being one of them lol! Its not horrible, but definitely ain’t a Stan pt. 2 lol! It also sucks that it won;t be on C4! smdh… Something leaks that is bearable for Wayne and it won’t be on his album… Wow…
  - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1640963073 Jim Paponetti
    
    u are right, this def aint stan part 2, because its not! Wayne already cleared that up. This song has nothing to do with Stan. It wasnt even waynes idea. It was swiss beats and he begged wayne to do it after Em didnt want to do Stan 2 so Wayne made his own song out of it and its a great song but ya, its very dumb for it not to be on c4.
    - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ #OkBye!
      
      Oh I know the story on how it came to be lol…
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1425360052 Ryne Parker

why is wayne making a Stan pt.2? Obviously Lil Wayne has a lot of respect for eminem…I mean Eminem even let him on Recovery… Despite the fact Wayne put Em on that Flop “the rebirth”.

Regardless, good song tho.

  listen to the third verse if you don’t believe me
Tw1sT

not really a wayne fan but this is alright. I downloaded. I really like the sameple / beat … alot its different then the normal shit he puts out that we have to hear over and over again
dedication3

People are so fucking retarded.
Stan is one of the greatest songs of alltime.

When chalie blindly defends Wayne… what do you call him?

Comparing ANY song to that is going to fall short 99% of the time.

This is DOPE AS FUCK. Expectations and the name of the artist is the ONLY thing keeping from everyone praising it.

“Wayne doesn’t rap about anything but artists like Nas get him to rap on songs like My Generation just to get 13 year old girls to listen to it.”

“When Wayne actually raps about stuff all he does is put a bunch of dots out there but doesn’t connect them.”

WTF are we talking about here? We’re not in 2nd grade drawing butterflies by connecting the dots on the page. Either enjoy the music or don’t, but stop examining the song like it’s your test subject lol.

And smoke2live…. who the fuck are you to act like you know what you’re talking about little b***h?

Nah but Lost Ones >>>

  the funny thing is, this isnt even stan 2. I guarantee when the official song gets released, it will not say stan 2. Its like how John was called “If i did today”. This song has nothing to do with Stan and has a completely different story.
- dedication3
  
  Exactly.
BearJew

turrible
uneedhelp

ok….

we all kno wayne cares about his fans and frankly Em really doesnt care about his (well its not publicized as much as wayne’s is). Em’s ‘Stan’ is better than Wayne’s ‘Anne’, but they are both very good songs with diff substances.

Stan is about someone who is writing to a celebrity and gets upset when he does not get a response in the time he wanted. so that character committed homicide and suicide. (kind of dark)

Anne is about a celebrity writing to his fan before the fan could have an ‘emotional breakdown’, to let the fan know that he loves them. glad that they are on his team.

basically it comes down to Em’s story telling vs. Wayne’s rhyme scheme

Em is a better story teller than wayne, idk if wayne can really tell stories anymore to be honest
SchizNicca

average lyricism…good production..weak storytellin
HipHopKid

its str8 no doubt. but eminem shut down this swiss production for a reason. ‘stan’ is one of the most if not the most original story lines in all of rap. wayne did a good job tryna bring it back though. c4 gonn be on point
http://defsounds im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

u don’t have to directly compare it, but at the same time you do, because you’ll always use the original one as a reference, and chaliefag to say that this has nothing to do with stan is completely ignorant he clearly uses stan references in the song, so obviously he’s refereeing back to the original, yo ur a str8 cracker jack gang wanna be wrigger, just like Dwhite i bet, y’all some clowns in real life
http://defsounds im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

wow people i just heard lost ones from j cole, and call me prisoner of the moment, trash me if you want, but j cole is the best rapper alive,.not lyricist not swagger, not flow,..just the best rapper period, and yes that does include eminem and slaughterhouse and lupe fiasco, and mos deff wayne by miles and miles,..no surpasses this dude when it comes to making real music, when slaughterhouse makes a tracking its very entertaining and mos deff admirable when it comes to lyrics but when it comes to heartfelt music j cole is on top, he’s the next big wave since kayne i think, i mean think about it back to 2000, 1st it was eminem, then came along 50 cent 2003, then came kayne west and wayne in 2004-05 then came lupe around 2006 now its j cole and slaughter but sorry to say more j cole unless slaughterhouse for the album hits that soul feeling like j cole does, then its really more like j cole time, me personally i think music hasn’t been this heartfelt since eminem back in 2000, you can probably argue kayne first album, but it still doesn’t match, but yea y’all lets really support j cole he’s the next real big life changing rapper coming thru
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1425360052 Ryne Parker

listen to the third verse
http://defsounds im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

^^^talking bout this song or the jcole song^^^
Handsanitizer

I just keep rewinding this to the beginning every time Wayne starts his verse cause the hook is fawkin bonkers.

  Swiss Beatz finally did a beat some nicely. This shit is real nice minus the Wayne lol… Eminem Stan 2 would have been nice, but he turned the shit down…
