My favorite lil wayne song, 90% of people who like wayne haven't even listened to 'Tha Carter' and they missed out on the good wayne. Tha Carter 2 was sick also, but carter 3 wasn't that tight, neither were any of his mix tapes. I haven't listened to the new one but i definitely will dl that shiz | ||

It's strange to me that people on this thread are talking about how bad Wayne is, and talking about the Rock music they like. First off, you're replying to a thread about a Hip Hop CD... if you don't like hip hop, your opinion on the album isn't really worth anything. Second, you're allowed to like more than one genre of music these days. | ||

Being commercial isn't what kills Lil Wayne, it's that he's an average lyricist who raps over annoying or generic beats and gets by because he has "swagger" than white teenage girls like - hence his sales. And when millions blindly say he's the best rapper alive (because he says so) it's beyond absurd, given that most of them have never even heard of guys like Pharoahe Monch, Common, Canibus, etc... His "competition" in their eyes are the likes of Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye, modern Jay-Z, etc... It's like if millions of casual SC2 fans were to claim Idra is the best player in the world when they don't know who Nestea, MC, MVP, etc are. Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Lil Wayne > all or anything like that. Its just that he's going to get unnecessary hate he doesn't deserve for the sole reason that a lot of people think he's more popular than he should be. There's an argument to be made for that but i'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole. He's pretty darn good relative to what you hear on american top 40 on a weekly basis. | ||

I don't think comparing IdrA to Lil Wayne is accurate because IdrA is good and lil wayne isn't. | ||

Wayne's most clever lines ever, IMO ("Safe sex is great sex/So you better wear a latex/Cuz you don't want that late text/That "I think I'm late" text") | ||

but really, all the tracks I've listened to have been.... a pure bore. John (the song with Rick Ross) was pretty good until the actual rapping started. I just can't understand how the world came to a place where people like Lil Wayne would be pulling up people like Tech N9ne in terms of fame. (actually, I know exactly why that happened, and it's perfectly reasonable, but it's still sad...) | ||

Its so annoying when the other artists on the track deliver some sick lines and then wayne comes in with "we are not the same, i am a martian" or some equally stupid shit. ahaaha I almost died laughing at that. I miss the old wayne like this: at 2:40 (last person to rap) PS: I know Drake is commercialized to hell and back now, but you can't say Drake isn't legit. He's marketable and talented unlike *cough* Soulja boy | ||
