If you could get rid of a rapper, passed or present, that would make rap better overall with his or her absense..... Who would it be?

I'll start off....

Soulja Boy.

Good thread. I'd remove Wayne before Cam. Cam has more personality on his best tracks, more flavor. I haven't bought into the evolution of Wayne. He went from being an artist with average mic skills and something to prove, to a budding talent who stepped his game up considerably, to proclaiming (along with several of his fans) he's some excellent lyricist (I don't see it), to this almost comedic emcee who likes to put quantity ahead of quality.

Cam really never pretended to be anything he's not. At least that's the vibe I have gotten. He showed pretty solid mic skills in his COC days, but he developed into being more of a humorous, material emcee later on. Here is a good take on him from Flash Juon:

"That's Cam's basic steelo in a nutshell. He alternates between being a street drama narrator, a pharmaceutical entrepeneur, and a straight up hustler looking for bigger and better whips to floss and **** to grab. There's nothing particularly profound or redeeming about it, but there's also nothing overtly offensive about it either. Cam is not the funniest or most gifted rapper in the game, so he relies more on his smooth (almost monotone) vocals and calmly focused lyrical delivery to do the job for him. Provided the beats are tight he can pull it off most of the time."

I think that's a good take on him. Personally, Purple Haze was a better listen than any Wayne album I own (Lights Out, Tha Carter) or have heard (Carter II, 500 Degrees).

Before the fall of Dipset/Roc-a-fella, this clown PRETENDED to be a different crayon every year..Cam sucks..He will never get any play in my deck..

Why?????Do yall want to remove this/these artist???...List and explain.....Its easy to say who and not explain WHY..

[ROSEWOOD]

I loved that track...but it screams one hit wonder and I guarantee it will be.

But they're here!!!!!!! Its up to them to keep the fire going..Wayne done his part..feel me..

[ROSEWOOD]

I've said many times, I am a fan of Wayne, most notably the album he did with Birdman and Tha Carter II. But some of the **** that spews out of his mouth is awful...and it looks like Carter III is headed in that direction.

And Cam has had nicer tracks then Wayne, believe it or not:
Welcome To New York (hotter then anything Wayne has done)
Adrenaline Rush (same as above)
On Fire Tonight

...etc etc

Nothing about Camron comes close to touchin Weezy F. Baby,,,,please say the baby..

Cam is a pre-school rapper.."Papa lapa tapa dapa, I a take her home and slapa and crapa"....lol...If I'm lying I'm dying...Santana is/was Dipset..

Why do we need more artist like them??..I love Gansta/Street Rap and a Common, Lupe nor Kanye can give me that..

Hip Hop never left...Stop listening to Nas, KRS One, Rakim and the rest of them washed up fools..
