Lil Wayne/Weezy F. Baby

[J-man]

In case you werent aware, hip-hop legend, and the [i]<EDIT>[/i] 12th best rapper alive, Lil Wayne, has been locked up for awhile now and is scheduled to get out sometime in Novemeber, ya heard meh.

This thread has been dedicated to his awesomeness.

PS: Keep it PG.

Weezy ... Young Mollah ... Money is the Motive ... No Ceilings ... straight up.

Ight, to set the record straight, the new Wayne is trying too hard. Playing the guitar and stuff, nawww, not working. Stick wit the rhymes.

[PuRock]

Is there anyway we can extend his lockup instead?

Indeed. its not like hes in a real Prison or anything. Hes probably sipping on Martinis while sitting on a gold toilet behind Marbel Cell bars.

Because, apparently, being hip-hop's Ralph Wiggum qualifies an artist for legendary status.

The day Lil Wayne stops rapping will be the day I can finally say that I can listen to mixtapes again without hearing another artist copy his formulaic rhyme scheme or imitate him in any other manner that altogether does nothing to improve a song. From his ad-libs to his laugh, Weezy has to be the most overrated artist on the mainstream scene today. That crown would normally go to 50 Cent or Jay-Z, except 50 hasn't been relevant in a year and Jay-Z at least has flashes of his heyday.

More Drake less Weezy.

I like Drake when he's rapping, not singing. His R&B endeavors have been mostly horrible; he can only sing choruses, not full songs. Though he's one of the few artists to use autotune properly (which almost seems like an oxymoron), he uses it like a crutch on his singing-only tracks.

Agreed. He did pretty good on Forever with Kanye, Lil Wayne and Eminem IMO.

PS: Eminem was definitely the best out of the four in that song. He spits those rhymes out like a machine gun.

Yea, I like Drake, but not his "love" songs, which is half his new album. Over, Miss Me, Thank Me Now, Fireworks, Unforgettable, Up All Night, and Fancy were the only ones I really liked.

I changed the thread title so it wouldn't be mistaken as a political thread.

I like guys like Drake and Kid Cudi because of the sampling/synth work that's going on behind the Rap, but that's just me. Good examples would be Drake's "Forever" and Kid Cudi's "Cudi Zone". Who ever finds Drake's brass samples/loops is a haas.

For real. I started buggin' when Eminem dropped his line about Hannibal Lector.

You did it. You actually did it.

My 4 year old cousin is embarassed to have the same nickname as him. That tells you how "great" he is.

"Cudi Zone" is probably one of the best songs that I've ever heard.

Definitely. I have Cudi's "Man on the Moon" album and I've probably played "Cudi Zone" twice as much as any other song on it. It's the complete song (In terms of its genre). Kid Cudi working with Kanye West on his (KC) next album has me pretty excited. I just hope he doesn't experiment with rock like Wayne did. Stick to what sells your music.

Cudi's new song "Erase Me", which features Kayne, sounds sorta like a alternate rock song, but it sounds good and I like it.

12th? That's [i]still[/i] way too high in my book. Who do you think is better than him?

Lupe Fiasco FTW

That's kinda what I was referring to. I like it, but I hope it's not a trend in his second album (which I think I saw somewhere that it wouldn't be...). I much prefer the hip-hop Cudi, not the alternative rock one.

Lil Wayne is garbage plain and simple...they should keep him locked up forever just so the world doesnt have to hear those awful sounds that he calls music. Worst rapper alive.
