I want A.F.Venom and all the other people who think Wayne is good to explain to me and give me songs to listen to which explain why Wayne is good. Everything I've heard of his seems to be terrible but apparently I've been listening to the wrong sort of music. He's even been dubbed the Tupac of this generation by some. Anyway, I'm willing to take this seriously and I will listen to any recommendations. It's things like this that make me wonder why so many people think he's great, so please show me the stuff to listen to. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Weezy:</div><div class="quote_post">I rekindle the flame She remember the name It's Weezy Baby January December the same Mama gimme that brain Mama gimme that good Cause I'm the fireman You hear the firetruck </div>
That's actually one of the best verses he has. lol This guy is bad. He has a bunch of other stupid lines. Listen to Army Gunz, Stuntin like my Daddy and all his remixes.
I agree, he is awful and self proclaimed best since jigga retired.. my ass.......and no way was jigga ever the greatest
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm just about to create a thread and I want you to convince me on why Wayne is so good</div> When did I ever say he was "so good"? I just disagreed when you when you claimed he was crap and said he was the "Shawn Bradely" of the rap game...which is far from the truth. He put out a really bad mixtape last year (Drought 3)..his guest features have been trash...there are some ok songs on his Carter 3 leak mixtape...But there is lots of nice music before all this. Start off with these disks: Tha Carter Dedication I Tha Carter II Dedication II
I thought he sucked too, until I found myself loving the song "best rapper alive". I like when he says he's the heart of New Orleans. Then I heard some of his spoken bits and he seems like actually a cool cat. He even says he doesn't really think he's better than anyone else. His flow at first sounded weird to me, but then I started to like it. I don't know if i would say I'm a Lil Wayne fan, but I'd rather listen to him than The Game, Young Jeezy, and many others
A lot of my friends listen to him and claim he's the best out now. Personally, I don't see what's so good about him. Most of the things he says I struggle to find what they mean.

Money On My Mind and Best Rapper Alive are both great tracks. You guys care too much about lyrics. You want to learn something, read a book. You're supposed to feel music, not read it. "bow wow wow yippee yo yipee yay doggy dog's definitely in the houusee" sounds pretty stupid written down too, doesn't it?
hip hop music is known for it's lyrics. it's not hip hop without them RAPPERS SPIT RHYMES THAT ARE MOSTLY ILLEGAL. MC'S SPIT RHYMES TO UPLIFT THEIR PEOPLE! Krs-One

Your still stuck on people that like Wayne don't like "real" hip-hop? Please.. I'm not saying dude is a top notch lyricist or anything...but he makes good music...good hooks, good beats, and is good for a few quoatble punchlines. All hip hop can't be all lyricism all the time...just like there is formula fiction that is still entertaining but there is great literature as well.

Lil Wayne is not an incredible rapper, but he isn't trash either. I like some of his stuff "n**** wit money", "where the cash at", etc. are good. He also has some good verses in remixes like "diamonds on my damn chain."
