Given the recent release of Lil Wayne’s painfully mediocre Dedication 4, I found myself clamoring for some classique Wayne.

Accordingly, I came up with a list of my favorite Wayne tracks, leaning towards more cohesive single-y songs, but making exceptions where appropriate.

I know that there was a {presumably} great OWOB survey of Lil Wayne’s career done by David Turner, with {presumably, again} lots of similar such personalized Tumbles. But that was earlier in the summer amidst my summer ‘ship (a period of time where I rarely found myself surfing these Tumblr waves). 

The list of 14 entries is not arbitrary: I set the limit to those songs that I felt most strongly about.

1. Tha Block is Hot

2. Go DJ

3. Gossip

4. Gettin Some Head

5. Yes

6. Bring it Back

7. A Milli

8. Single

9. Upgrade

10. Famous

11. Money on My Mind

12. Sportscenter

13. Fuck With Me Now

14. Stuntin Like My Daddy

Honorable mentions: Up In This Club (for its Wayne-driven warbly absurdity); Pick It Up (another non-Wayne track, but enough from Wayne to almost justify inclusion)
