WoW your really naive about rap you must have a circle of rappers that you only listen to and prolly only heard lil wayne radio raps. Me out of all people hate mainstream rappers but have listened deeply to all of them at one point, I probably listened to most of the underground and the artists you named are even underground, Tupac was real of course, Biggie was real nas is real but they basically rap about the same struggles. Thats koo but Lil Wayne ties it in all together, hes hit every subject you can think of. What you dont get about lil wayne is he raps like its a sport and has mastered rapping as a skill. When you said Lil wayne is jsut one of these rappers that bloom for awhile you just proved to be stupid. Because Lil wayne has bin in the game for almost 15 years and to tell you the truth his old shit is prolly better.Go listen to his best of me freestyle and tell me he hasnt mastered the art of rapping
