Why do you NOT like Lil Wayne?

[ROSEWOOD]

I've only heard the Carter 2 and it's a good album although it does nothing for me to hear any more of his material.

He's most definitley overrated if you say he's a top 5 active rapper right now, but then again i haven't heard much of him to warrant an influential decision.

That being said, there are plenty less-mainstreamed emcees with more talent and not to mention skill and are better lyricists in my opinion, but like everybody else, opinions just cause debate. There are no facts when rating one artist against another to see who's better.

Can i ask Rosewood, why do you like him? Where would you put him among the active emcees right now?

I like Wayne do to the fact that he's versitle on the mic..He's an artist that isn't afraid to stray away from the norm. A artist that takes chances with any and every beat know to man..Last, I love his work ethic..While other artist are waiting a year to feature and 5 years for their albums to drop, Wayne's on any and every track out there.."You don't work, you don't eat, you don't grind, you don't shine"....

i feel like wayne is overrated, he's alright but he says a lot of dumb **** like, she will be as wet as a car pool or i could get your brains for a bargain like i bought it from target

Its dumb because you do get it?? Give me a break playa......

I like some of his music, and was a fan in the Hot Boys days as well as now. But what I don't like is him making claims of being the best rapper alive. When someone claims they are the best at something you need something more than being featured on songs or album sales. What's "more"? You'll know it when you see it and I won't be a sheep like some and believe or buy into it when someone says they are the best. You got to wait...

I dont like Wayne because he cant rap. He annoys the **** out of me when he guests on other peoples **** and ****s it up, like in Hello Brooklyn when he says

"She love B.I.G and she like Tupac n wen I said JAY- Z she said it's da roc but I'm a leave it like dis like dis like dat where Brooklyn at? where Brooklyn at?... Have u seen her? and if she tell u somethin' u betta believe her she tol me she like my New Orleans Demeanor and so I said goodbye Katrina"

Its just a bunch of random words put together, theres no coherent flow. On the first track off his new abum he talks about running in someones house and killing their grandma, then hes talking about how he told his mum theyd have nice **** one day, then hes talking about hoes. Its bizarre how anyone can take him seriously. I heard him on Westwood once and he asked him to freestyle, it went something like this

"Im lil Wayne, I bring da pain, I make it rain, its never the same

Im lil wayne, Im in da game, I like fame, look at my name"

It was appalling. I downloaded Tha Carter III to see what all the fuss was about, and Im sorry but he is just terrible.

he is overratted but i guess he is doing his own thing, did a mill in a week

I'm a fan of his. It seems as though people take his claim as being the best very personal. His claim and attitude= swag. Some people just don't get it.

Exactly playa..........

Please advise....

Because he's flooding the game with his voice..much like R.Kelly a few years back...

Because he has absolutely no flow what so ever..

Because he's from the South, and the South's still holding..

Please advise why...

I'm a little pissed at him for making Tha Carter II 7 minutes over your normal 80 min blank CD.....hence I had to erase one long song to make it all fit on 1 disc......maybe his own lil Way...ne of trying to limit piracy.

It's not that I don't like him. It's that he makes a claim which is simply untrue. He is the most POPULAR rapper, not the most skilled rapper, in the game today. Big difference.

He's decent. He has about a handful of songs that I like and he can be entertaining. But, he's no tth egreatest alive. If people got off his **** and he got off his own ****, he'd be much more enjoyable to listen to.

Has nothing to do with the south. Matter of fact, I can think of rappers better than him, FROM the south. So, that's not even important.

I think he has talent but he is overrated. I actually like the fact that he is in the game though, he atleast sets some standard, if he wasn't around things would be even worse.

Drone every rapper is supposed to think he is the best there is, that goes with being a emcee. The problem in this case is that so many people believe it

cuz he calls himself the best rapper alive (when he dont even rap in his biggest hit) and we all know lil wayne aint da best alive . lyrics r overrated, talks random ****, and he sounds like he his whining when raps lol
