It shows just how petty his flow and lyrics/rhymes are. How can someone who can pretty much only rhyme with at most four and five letter words about bitches, money, and cars, be the best rapper alive? In most of his shit, his flow is pathetic. I've heard like one song of his where his flow was okay at best... and I'm sure he got lucky, or just wrote over-simplified lyrics to make them easier to say (er... i mean rap, since Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive :S2.

By the way, I love rap. So no, I don't sound like a redneck at a Slayer/Metallica concert, claiming no band will ever stack up to them. And nor is what I say equivalent to what you're grand dad says. That's implying that hip hop/rap has evolved... which it hasn't. I fail to understand how anybody can call him the best rapper. Probably because Weezy says it himself. It's a big statement, and Lil Wayne certaintly does not hold up to it by any means whatsoever. He's probably convinced he is the best rapper alive, too. He's a joke :S2:. I feel sorry for people who like him a lot, and talk down on real skillful rap in defense of him.

If he's someone's favorite rapper, which is true for a lot of people, then that's different; however, that's just opinion, and everyone is obviously entitled to that. But when you go and repeat what he said, that he is the best rapper alive, you're really pushin' the line wayyyy too far. People saying he's skillful is pushing the line quite a bit already.

HOWEVER, I would listen to Lil Wayne over Soulja Boy or some insanely retarded shit like that.
I think that's the point most people are trying to make with you... He may not be the greatest rapper ever, or the greatest rapper out now, but he's much better that these losers that call themselves rappers like soulja boy who dont even rap and are bringing the mainstream rap industry down. Listen to crank that, the whole song is basically a hook that is slightly altered to make verses, and it makes no sense. I listen to a lot of different rap from ill bill to immortal technique to binary star and jedi mind tricks. If you want somebody to blame for all this dumbed down lame pop rap blame p diddy, after big died he made it his goal to water down rap and feed it to us.
