ill try and put this into perspective a little...
im 19 almost 20...the rap i grew up on having an older brother; biggie, nas, eazy e, big l, method man, everyone in wu tang, jay z and many others. each artist basically attracts a certain group of people. for example, my freshman year i lisened to people under the stairs, tribe, peter tosh, gift of gab...shit like that but also liked the main stream shit. lil waynes attracting that new generation because when i play the old stuff i used to listen to..it doesnt have that up tempo party dance type vibe to it. i like lil waynes mixtapes carter 2 and some songs on the carter 3. whose to say biggie or tupac wouldnt have changed their style to attract the new generation of rap listeners. lil waynes music is creative in some aspects and i agree it sucks in others. but hes got more money then ill ever see and at the end of the day...we are all just trying to make money to live a good life. its a job. so to everyone who bitches that he sucks and his music is lame..get of his dick. its fucking annoying
