lil wayne

I heard a lot of you saying he speaks bullshit. how do yall know that? Have you been to new orleans? Im not saying because hes from there he did those things, but new orleans is a wild place.

I dont think hes the best rapper alive but cant put him down for claiming it. He is sick. Being sick doesnt mean your lyrics are sick(packed with long worded metaphors) its delivery 2. hes not to be compared to legends but still one of the better rappers or should I say the songs he puts out are as entertaining as other top songs right now.

YouTube - Lil Wayne & DJ Drama - Dedication Part 2 - No Other

i highly recommend you guys check out "da drought"
theres a part 2 and 3
there all sick as hell

Lil Wayne is the greatest rapper to the dumbest people.. nuff said really. The 'real rap/hiphop' flys over their head or under their radar because their simple minds can't process the lyrics, so they listen to Lil Wayne exaggerate his simple clever but pointless lyrics on a nice beat. Hell even ANY Papoose song contains more crazy metaphors than all of Wayne's craziest put together. And Wayne has no 'thug' in him whatsoever, apparently he was rapping at 11 and signed at 13.. tell me where he went through most of lifes struggles before he even reached PUBERTY. It's simple, he hasn't, he disses Gillie in a song/video while wearing Gillie's own chain that he let Wayne borrow (proof) hahahahha, you blind suckers.

this thread is becoming better than reruns on Comedy central, ohh and thnx for the link of that myspace rapper, it was life changing

Spark it and kick back to this one.

mfgr hah, you really need to brush up on your "knowledge" of the entertainment business. Yes, it's all about money, but no it's not that simple. Rappers like wayne have to work their asses off and i mean hard. There are millions of people gunning to be the top dog and how did lil wayne get there? Nope not by his voice, yes it helped, but he worked his ass off dude. Fucking dedicated his life to this since he was 12 years old. I think he deserves to be where he is with people praising him. And it's not about the lyrics in the business, you're right - well not _only_ it's everything dude.

I can back all this shit up because my bro is pretty big and most everyone here would know who he was but im not gunna drop names. But he deffinitly had to work his ass off. Day and night living breathing eating this shit. Dealing with people telling him he wouldnt do shit, dropping out of highschool. Following people's every command but still trying to do his own thing to make it. It's not easy shit.


All I'm saying man is this music isn't garbage. It's a source of _entertainment_ and it can be motivational, but not in a fucking sit down and think like a white person way. It might sound twisted, and of course you can argue that the black community as a whole should think a little deeper, but it is what it is.

Just please stop spitting random shit out of your ass if you havent experienced their thoughts first hand.

Top songs? LOL. Too bad most "top songs" suck, too. Mainstream is controlled by the record industry. The record industry's first concern is the bottom line. As long as it sells, it doesn't matter if it's good or not.

Lil Wayne sucks. Period. Can't be compared with legends? Well, duh... most can't be. Lil Wayne isn't sick. Like you said, it isn't JUST lyrics, but it's delivery, too. That means both. If your lyrics are good, and your flow is good... then you're good. If not, then you suck. Lil Wayne lacks on both. I think you're just brainwashed into thinking that kind of music is good. Simply put, it's music for dumbasses.

I never claimed to know any specifics about the record industry. But it's a business... and what is the first concern of a business? Well, I don't think I even need to answer that, as I'm sure we both know. I never said it was simple, or that rappers don't have to work hard. Anyone can work hard and make it. You don't have to be real good to make it. Afterall, 50 Cent sucks (and no, that's no opinion - it's a fact, and yes I mean that)... but he made it up there. Of course it's not about lyrics. Don't you see that as long as something sells, they'll sell it? They sell it and advertise it to generate mass appeal, it's simple marketing. Lil Wayne's lyrics suck! I can't believe anyone would say they're not simple-minded lyrics that any fool can write.

Good for your bro, but not all record companies are the same. I'd like you to back it up, since you say you can. Anyone can work hard, but that doesn't mean that Lil Wayne is good... lol.

The music IS garbage. Take a look at what Lil Wayne is saying... I think it's pretty obvious what is happening there. Not in a fucking sit down and think like a white person way? Well, how does a white person think? And no, I don't think the black community as a whole should think a little deeper - what, do you think I'm racist or something? I don't think black people don't think deep. In fact, I know they do. But does Lil Wayne have deep lyrics? No. What he raps about is bullshit. It turns people into brainwashed customers, and it is garbage. It's a source of entertainment that dumbs people down when they take it to heart and get motivated from it. Do you really think the record industry as a whole gives a shit if their musicians are making good music, as long as it sells good? Of course not. I'm talking about the basic concept of business here. Lil Wayne's rap is ridiculously stupid, and his lyrics often make absolutely no sense.

Well, I think I have experienced Lil Wayne's thoughts first hand, by listening to his ridiculous "music". Money this, money that... bitches this, bitches that... mercedes this, cadillac that... isn't his record company even called Money Records? ROFL. Such materialistic, brainwashing bullshit. A lot of it seems like it's advertisement in itself. The videos show these hot cars, and then everyone wants one.

Yeah man, let's listen to Lil Wayne and get motivated! LOL, what a joke.

No, opinion is about liking/disliking. I dislike Lil Wayne, which is my opinion. Others like him, which is their opinion. However, when it comes to whether he is good or bad, or in between, it doesn't always need to be opinion. If you want to argue this, reply, and I'll reply with a simple answer that will change you perception on this matter.
