this is the last time i bother trying to argue this
trust me i know what is GOOD HIP HOP , i have been listening to basically nothing but hiphop for the last 4 years and there is no reason to hate on Lil wayne, he's the best thing to come out of main stream in a long time. Just because he is featured with shitty, clown artists like Jeezy and DJ Kalad does not say anything about Wayne himself.
His shit is hilarious, constantly extremely creative, beats crush shit, and he has his own unique sound. He has a lot of lyrical ability, he also has to fill tracks and mixtapes and make MONEY, which means turning out a couple songs that you guys use as reason to hate on "fuck bitches get money type stuff" , if you watch any of his freestyle videos or acapella tracks there is no way you can deny that he has a lot of lyrical talent. Even if i was on top of my game, drunk , on xanax whatever and trained for months there is no way I could ever spit for even 30 seconds against weez
For anyone who said he thinks that he is better than he is.... that is how you have to be in order to survive in the business he is in. If you don't constantly believe that you are the best, then you will never reach your potential . Weezy even admitted that he is not better than Nas, biggie, dilla are both dead. Jay-z is obviously respected more and has been around for a lot longer but once again i dont think u can compare them
you can't even compare him to "heady" mc's like Doom, helta skeltha, ghost, Lif, cannabis , Nas that is a different type of music
in the end its fucking MUSIC , if it doesn't sound good to your ears thats fine, don't listen. But you can't pass judgement on something you dont really know about
