I feel that the best rappers today are poets who focus more on substance than pleasing the masses with beats and talking about how awesome they think they are.
Lil Wayne falls short there, without a doubt.
Blackalicious, Cee-lo, Souls of Mischief, Immortal Technique, Brother Ali...all better, IMO at least. just to name a few.

how is it possible to dish out 73 tracks and then sell a platinum album the next year?? being the best gives wayne fuel to rap harder.
Nas died when “hip-hop is dead” album came out, Jay-Z got soft when he ran into Beyonce.
Wayne is consistently dishing out sick tracks and isn't letting up. how can you not even put him with the best. he does it all... ALL.
His lyrics are by far the best in the game (just look at his twisted style, and use of metaphors). Nobody can stop him right now. Nobody. Thereore he's def. one of the best alive. maybe he's not the best but yall don't have to diss him like he's nothing and just admit that he's one of the best.
"And next time you mention Pac, Biggie,
And Jay-Z
Don't forget Weezy
Baby!"

i told her dat im married to the money
committed to the cash
all i see is pussy, titties, and the ass
Lil Wayne
I see no changes. All I see is racist faces.
Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races we under.
I wonder what it takes to make this one better place...
let's erase the wasted.
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right.
'Cause mo' black than white is smokin' crack tonight.
And only time we chill is when we kill each other.
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
And although it seems heaven sent,
we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh.
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact...
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
But some things will never change.
Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.
Now tell me what's a mother to do?
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you.
You gotta operate the easy way.
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way.
Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is.
Tupac
How could you possibly compare those two rappers?

it was just a witty few lines haha. chill. how can you compare rappers based on two songs "you" subjectively picked anyway? of course tupac and biggie are "untouchable". different eras different context though. the times have "CHANGED". rap isn't what is was when pac was king. weezy is going 9 years strong and he's not lettin up. just admit it. lil wayne is one of the best around now.

How could you possibly use 3 Peat's arguments in your lyrics...
"money so old, its growing white hair"
inspired lyricism
Anyone who can read the lyrics to this song with a straight face should be in Hollywood: LIL WAYNE & JUELZ SANTANA - Do My Thang Lyrics
say it out loud, its even funnier
some lines don't even rhyme, like Quote:
Im Warmer Than A Quilt
They Lookin At Me Like They Drink Spoiled Milk
| Um, quilts don't exactly generate body heat, and even if they did, you think Juelz could find a phrase that doesn't make any sense in context that rhymes w/ "quilt"
I mean seriously, Quote:
"Hit Em' Wit Da Glock
Put Em' In a Coma
Now Wat Dat Boy Got? Um, Glaucoma {Haha}"

He's actually somewhat akin to Dr. Seuss--rhyming "berp berp" ("burp burp"?) and "jerp jerp"--in that he has no qualms about making up words.

That's fine, you pick what you consider to be lil wayne's best verse and post it here. Convince me he's the best. I'll even ignore his awful flow and annoying voice.

It gets even worse. On probably his best known song, from da drought 3, sky's the limit Quote: |
"I bulletproof the ride, now I feel like armadillas"
| Last time I checked, there is no such thing as armadillas. If Weezy is referring to armadillos, it makes the line even more ridiculous...they aren't bulletproof. Quote:
"And when I was 5, my favorite movie was the Gremlins
Aint got **** to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention"
| Great example of Wayne's cohert lyricism. Note that he couldn't even make a random line rhyme. Quote:
I'm probably in the sky, flying with the fishes,
Or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons,
See my world is different
| So he's a lunatic? Quote:
What do you expect, I'm from New Orleans,
And majority of my city is rowders,
They tried to make a brand new map without us,
But the tourists come down and spend too many dollars
| As a rapper hailing from New Orleans, Wayne sees it as his duty to make sure people don't support the city after Katrina.

haha you're so in denial and unable to comprehend anything. not the best. ONE of the best ALIVE. Read. no one can match is lyrics right now. most anticipated album. Seriously... who is as good as wayne right now... seriously. I've given you reviews from TIMES. da carter III speaks for itself. who is comin out with the next killer album? or who's come out with a killer album or mixtapes as wayne in the past 2 years? no one face it.
goblue...and what is exactly your argument? yeah i could just as easily pick out weak songs from nas and jay. please.

Nas: G.O.D, Fetus, I'm gonna be alright or whatever it was called with J-Lo, zone out
Jay: bonnie and clyde, Justify my thug ... lol
Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to list their weak songs. it was too easy Mike. I'm going to go listen to Common's new album. oh wait he doesn't have one. I think I'm going to listen to the record that sold over a mil in a matter of weeks.
Ok.
You should too.
Convinced? One of the best alive, Lil Wayne, Weezy F Baby, Junior.
Give up.

| I don't choose what music I listen to based on how many records the person has sold. Should I pick up the Camp Rock soundtrack too? How about Hanna Montana's album?
Anyways, this is pointless, neither of us are going to change our minds, so I'm just going to stop right here.
P.S. Common's new album comes out in September Invincible Summer (Common album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | |
