KING
WAYNE
Back in 2007, rapper Lil Wayne no-showed for a concert at
MacArthur Court on the University of Oregon campus. Katie Matthews,
life-long hip hop fan and employee at Skip’s Records & CD World in west
Eugene, says she’s “still a little bitter about it.”
At the time, Wayne was considered the greatest rapper in the game.
Fans loved his free-associative and surrealist lyrical style and bad-
boy image. Detractors labeled him cartoonish, but many found his
madness inspired.
“He was charismatic, talented and really enjoys drugs,” Matthews
recalls. “This is what youth has flocked to since the beginning of time.”
But like a lot of young stars, Wayne flamed out quickly. “I don’t know
exactly what happened,” Matthews continues. “Perhaps he became a
caricature of himself. Perhaps he grew tired and needed a break. He’s
been professionally rapping since age 9.”
These days, audiences seem more interested in Kendrick Lamar
or Chance the Rapper. Pop culture moves quickly, and the world of
rap music even quicker. I ask Matthews whether Weezy, as Wayne is
sometimes called, can make a comeback.
“Everyone has ups and downs in their careers,” Matthews says.
“Shit happens. It’s hard to sustain the level of hype he was operating
under in any genre, let alone the ‘here one moment, gone the next’ buzz
bin of mainstream rap.”
Nevertheless, Matthews roots for the fallen champ. “Weezy still
matters ’cause he’s only 34 years old and has accomplished all of the
above. That’s extremely admirable. He’s so young still. His legacy is
strong.”
Lil Wayne closes out Cuthbert Amphitheatre’s summer concert
season 6:30 pm Thursday, Sept 28; $55 advance, $60 door, All-ages.
