Okay, can we talk about how crazy it is that Lil Wayne can sell out a venue like Paycom Center in Oklahoma City while a lot of newer rappers can't even get close? I think it's because Lil Wayne isn't just "a rapper"—he's like a symbol of a certain era, and people have legit memories tied to his songs.

I remember going to a rap show last year for a newer artist and there were so many empty seats, but when my cousin went to see Lil Wayne, it was packed and people were singing every word. Part of it is because he's not a TikTok artist who just gets one viral song and then kinda fades away. Lil Wayne has a massive catalog, and he brings out surprise guests—like the Hot Boys in OKC. Everyone loves the throwback hits, but also the way he keeps including new features and fresh music in his set.

Plus, realistically, he puts effort into the whole vibe—lights, sound, guests, all that. That's just hard to compete with if you're new. So, Lil Wayne sort of sets the standard, and no matter how the music world changes, his tours feel like a big deal. That's why he sells out when new artists might not.
