2. you said "Lil Wayne affects our lives more than you'd think. With music like his being on the Radio/TV, it shifts attention away from talented, hard working, original artists who bust their asses just to pay rent". so if you don't watch tv and dont listen to the radio, then what's your point? how is it affecting you? sure, the little preteens watching MTV don't know what to decide, but thats part of growing up.
3. when lil wayne started rapping years ago, do you think his "image" (which was really nonexistant) let him get to where he his now? no, it was his rap, which makes him talented, because more and more people started listening to him before he blew up or was even known by the average teen. if he didnt, then he would have gone unknown like 95% of other rappers. like I said before, its a personal preference whether you like him, or what he says/stands for. but you can't say hes not talented.
4. you're right. you said you want to leave the party and it puts you in a bad mood. that's fine, its your preference of music, but if a song/artist is playing and its the reason you leave a party, then it's affecting you way too much.
6. lil wayne was one of the first artists to release mixtapes, free downloadable music off the internet that isnt downloaded illegaly, simply because he wanted to share it all and knew it couldn't all be on albums, especially when no one knows who you are. and metaphorically he has changed music, or atleast vocals. your examples of being original are all combining 2 or more already existing types of music into 1. I agree that's creative, and somewhat original, but anymore original than wayne, how so?
and yeah, as long as you don't get up and leave in the middle of a lil wayne or cassidy song because it's put you in a bad mood and you dont agree with it, im down to chill. I personally love to listen for all the little metaphors, that most people don't understand. If you actually read into the lyrics, you'll find hes much more creative than you'd think.
saying lil wayne is bad because its all just stupid vocals/sayings is stupud. its like saying dubstep is bad because it's all the same.
