While most of his 2010 was wasted away in a 11 x 13 cell on Rikers Island, Wayne seemed determined to get that time (and a half) back by hitting 2011 with a bang. After completing his skid bid, he immediately hit the studio, only leaving to visit the occasional skate park.
Waynes 2011 was typically prolific—releasing both a mixtape (Sorry 4 The Wait) and an album (Tha Carter IV), not to mention blessing the world with upwards of 30 guest appearances. A staggering output to say the least.
But while the MC was busy churning out verses and features for half the music industry, many critics felt his feverish pace left a lot to be desired. Accusations from the peanut gallery ran rampant: Wayne was unfocused, or he phoned in most of 2011.
Whatlil wayneever.
Despite a few missteps, Weezy low-key dominated 2011. Between moving almost a milli units of C4 in its first week, spawning five charting singles, and selling out a cross-country tour—2011 was truly Wayne’s World.
Just getting Birdman Jr. to grace a track was enough to resurrect a career on life support. (Ahem,Kelly Rowland). And for the right price, he can even make your tighter. (What up Ace Hood?) In honor of Weezy’s stellar 365, Complex has compiled his top 25 verses of the year. Recognize.

WOW, I honestly slept on wayne this year. I heard some verses that werent that great from him and subconsciously avoided some of his tracks. thanks for posting this complex. Schooled me.
Lol? Jay will murder this pussy as nigga.WTT has enough lyrics to beat any of these pussy quotes. Waynes diss to Jay and B was not even real whereas Jays diss was real as fuk coz he is worth half a billion and fukin bird needs to stop sparking sheit up.
This site dickrides Young Money to the fullest. Drake is not a lyrical titan and Wayne did not body anyone on that track.
What Practical & God said, this list is straight up ridiculous! every artist on the YMCMB label are terrible and drake or wayne are in no way lyrical titans. The ct that Complex even made a top 25 with these horribly bad verses just makes me laugh. xD
This list is a joke. 2011 was a year of Waynes sloppy, unoriginal punchlines and a lazy flow. There was nothing profound about his verses this year, and he didnt do anything that should have him in the GOAT conversation. The ct that The Motto and Im on One are in the Top 3 verses is laughable, as The Motto in general really isnt that good and that hes the worst part of Im on One.Im not even a Wayne hater.. he was great from Carter 1 all the way until No Ceilings. Since then, hes llen off hard.
Not sure if this was a serious post by Complex. I think they just did it for the lulz. Wayne hasnt had a hot verse in years.
