lil wayne sucks, Jay Z tears him apart. I'll put Jay Z as a great, but not a legend. Because despite his commercial success his impact isnā??t like those that legends make. Run DMC, they are legends because without them there would be no hip hop, or at least not nearly as popular as it is now. Rakim, no one can match him on the mic and he changed the style of hiphop with is complex lyrics. NWA changed the game because they said shit on a record that was never heard of before. Public Enemy did too, but not like NWA did. There was little to no controversies in rap pre-NWA. He has good lyrics but not outstanding and for lil wayne, his lyrics are complete shit, a lot of people compliment his flow, but theres a difference between flow and lyrics. Lil wayne only appeals to those who donā??t bother to look back at the older rappers. Back in the day you needed talent to make it in rap and lil wayne is a prime example that talent isnā??t needed anymore. I know lil wayne has been in it since ā??92, but he raps like he just started. If you think that he can kill anyone in a freestyle line him up with Big Daddy Kane and see what happens. Album sales donā??t make you great. No rapper has sold more albums than 2Pac, but many agree heā??s not the best of all time. Iā??ve judged this off the songs that lil wayne fans have recommended. Fireman was some of the most retarded shit of all time.
Raider187 Reviewed by Raider187 on . Jay-Z Vs. Lil Wayne Just curious to get some views on the hov vs weezy debate and to share mine. I think that they aren't comparable because Jay-Z's lyrics don't make you rewind the track but they make you think and they mean something. When Jay-Z raps he tells a story, and it makes sense and has a message. When Lil Wayne raps its to other peoples beats but he does it well, he's more of a freestyler. Weezy's lyrics rhyme and make you laugh and provide good entertainment but they don't convey a general Rating: 5
