Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne is deff one of the sickest rappers out there @ the moment. he puts out some of the most awesome shit heard in a while
 
Lil Wayne's going downhill. Juelz makes him look absolutely silly on their new mixtape. Wayne gets old fast, I mean yeah hes pretty clever sometimes but 200 similes in a song is just overkill.
 
My real beef with Wayne is that he thinks hes so much better than he is. His rhymes are just about swagger really. Im sorry but a couple of puns and punchlines dont qualify you to make claims like GOAT.
 
I agree.. Although I really like some of his songs, the majority aren't that great, but he swears up and down he's the greatest ever. Hustla Muzick and Shooter... 6 min.. Boom bap.. there are some really good songs I like.. but there are a ton I don't (i.e. almost the entire Like Father Like Son album)..
 
Yea he gets old fast. I agree that he thinks he's better than he really is. "Best Rapper Alive" thats a joke. There are so many more better people out there. Even some mainstream rappers are better than him.
 
Lil wayne is not the greatest rapper of all time, not even top 25. He doesn't have the sickest rhymes out there...

but, he doesn't have too.

He can say some of the stupidest things, but still make it sound cool. and that's the power of having good delivery.

and honestly, I'd take sick delivery and moderate rhymes over moderate same old delivery and sick rhymes anyday.

YOU GOTTA STAND OUT.

he has his own distinct style and as much as I don't like him sometimes, I gotta give him props for doing his own thing.
 
so yeah, if I didn't make that clear enough.. I actually really been feeling lil wayne lately.. even if he does say alot of stupid lines.

and I totally feel where you're coming from ghettorep, about him thinking he's the greatest... A good part of it though is just the cockiness tied in with his image he portrays and that's not necesarrily him as a person.

Another side of that is in this industry cat's lose sight of humility and where they came from in 5 minutes.. But I can't always blame them.. alot of these folks came straight off the streets and just pennies to their name and instantly one day wake up to millions, fans, and everyone screaming and telling them they are the greatest.. it gets to alot of people's heads real quick.
 
well i mostly agree with you GD, but for me i'm really starting to get annoyed with the way a lot of rappers (like lil wayne) only boast about themselves and list all the great things they have. now i haven't been into hip hop for really long so i don't know if it's always been like this, but im really only into rhymes that have some sort of meaning.

i completly agrre about the delivery though, because although i don't exactly care for what lil wayne says, he at least attracts my attention, and if i went to clubs and parties, im sure i'd dance (or attempt to) a lot of songs i have no real intrest for. i can't complain much about any artist because i don't know what they came from and what it took for them to get where they are now, so i guess i have to repsect what they do, even if i don't find it too great.
 
maybe his albums arn't the greatest but his mixtapes deff show that he is one of the best rappers dedication pt 1 and 2 were some of the sickest things i've ever heard
 
How to write a Lil Wayne verse in 10 easy steps! :

1. Pick a Verb. Preferably a verb about running

away from the law or from an assailant. I.E. Duck, Run, Dodge or maybe

Stop, Drop or Roll. L'il Wayne LOVES stopping, dropping and rolling.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

2. Connnect the verb to some sort of simile. This is crucial. Every

single L'il Wayne line must contain some sort of relatively obvious

simile. So maybe you can "duck like Scrooge." "Run like a bloody nose."

Or even "Dodge like Kansas." You can do metaphors but try to steer away

from doing this too often, lest people think that you are a different

ghost-writer. That is bad. Also for bonus points talk about how "sweet"

you are. L'il Wayne loves talking about being sweet like a Tahitian

Treat or some other delicacy high in sucrose.

3. Mention "Slanging Keys." This is crucial to establish street

cred. Don't pay attention to the fact that L'il Wayne's been famous

since 12 and the only thing he knows about slangin' is that he speaks

with it. After all, if you don't talk drugs how else can you impress

the translucent Dairy Queen-white music critics. This way they can also

compare you to the Wire. (Just remember to connect all that "slanging

keys" talk with a simile).

4. Declare that you are Weezy F. Baby. This will tell listeners who

you are. Sure, they probably already know, but adding The "F" in the

middle of the name uncertainly adds to Wayne's level of class. It makes

him seem like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Exactly like F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Whatever you do, don't attempt to ascertain what the "F" stands for.

That my friends is a slippery slope. And whatever you do, don't think

about what the "F" stands for while looking at a picture of Wayne and

Baby making out.

5. Talk about hustling. Music critics love hustling. Presumably,

they are devotees to the energetic style of basketball popularized by

players like Ben Wallace, Kurt Rambis and Mark Madsen. This will make

them feel at home. If there's anything music writers know about, it's

hustling.

6. Talk about Baby. Call him your Daddy. Forget the fact that he's

not actually your Daddy. Forget the fact that the majority of people

that call other men "daddy" are prostitutes. It's unimportant. Mention

something that Baby told you. Maybe that he told you that "these is ."

Or that he told you to "Turn around and stick out." (Maybe, he was just

quoting Sir-Mix-A-Lot.) Ignore the fact that you call a man named

"Baby," "Daddy." Let's just chalk that up to being a New Orleans thing.

7. Make some sort of obvious pop culture technology reference. Talk

about IPods. Or Myspace. Or gigabytes. Something remotely

technological. It will show that Wayne is not completely retarded (just

partially) and might have actually read a newspaper once or twice.

Which clearly means he is a genius.

8. Talk about how poorly you treat women. Perhaps you can claim how

you'll "never love a ." Or how you'll "never give a ho a damn thing."

The more misogynistic the better. This will definitely do much to steer

people away from those nasty "gay" rumors.

9. Apropos to nothing, make some sort of remark about Hurricane

Katrina. No need to bother making it have anything to do with the rest

of the verse. After all, never underestimate white liberal guilt. Any

sort of name-dropping will make white liberals feel bad and they will

forget the fact that Wayne is a multi-millionaire and anoint him the

voice of the people. Also, be sure to make wild ridiculous conspiracy

theories like claiming that you heard George Bush blew up the levees.

The more absurd the better. Go for it.

10. Proclaim yourself the "Greatest Rapper Alive."Forget the Fact

that Wayne would be lucky to be included in a list of the Top 20

rappers working right now. Most music critics haven't listened to Hip

Hop Made Before 1999 anyway (other than Public Enemy). If you proclaim

yourself the greatest, you will be the greatest. Or at least people

will be foolish enough to buy this canard.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
 
lil wayne is a fuckin terrible rapper, if you like him educate yourself with some real hip hop, head back to some kool g rap and go from there.
 
If you actually just wrote that, you're amazing and just got me a record deal, if you didn't, that's still funny.
 
yeah!! that song is so fucking sick. if that is any indication of what juelzs next album will be like...holy shit!!

and weezy just has a good flow...he's one of those rappers that can sound good saying anything.
 
i don't really like his lyrics either just the way he presents them. he's got some good beats and a unique voice. used to be one of my faves but not so much anymore. he had a huge impact on my club soccer team. we listened to money on my mind before every game and won everygame. and instead of saying "1 2 3 team" or something we would say "get money on 3" and then say get money on 3. made our parents mad when we said fuck bitches afterwards though. at best his stuff is catchy, you can't deny that
 
^ya..he does, the beats he has are sick but he just wastes them, he basically talks over a beat, his flow is the same every time, you'd be talking to the guy and think he was making a song right there on the spot. and when i saw that nike commercial, it hurt, unfortunatly some real rappers/MC's whatever you want to call them made a track about the AF1 after that commercial was made. juelez is the same as the majority of dipset, no flow and no substance, like jim jones and cam'ron.
 
Nope, didn't wrote all this, I just found it on a hip-hop forum. Pretty funny stuff and so true...
 
Lupe Fiasco is the best right now in my opinion, in the entire game. If you haven't heard em, get his album and his mixtapes. I can't enjoy Lil Wayne's lyrics, as much as I love his flow he just isn't an intellectual. Not to say Lupe's some thick headed professor, but listen to Lupe's lines they're just ridiculous.
 
lil wayne has never been "good" and will never be good. he has a different voice and some catchy beats but his lyrics are very amature. the best rapper alive is probally the worst title for him.
 
Carter II was a pretty good album. Some cheesy rhymes but overall it felt much more real as he calls himself. On the other hand Drought 3 and Mixtape are full of crap.
