Whats the deal with this lil wayne hullabaloo?

its just plain rubbish in my opinion. Not meaning to offend anyone here but its talentless tripe. Whats your take???

most of his songs i can relate to but the others i cant are quite annoying but there is allot of tallent in what he does he writes some pretty good and tastful medaphores and rhymes and its not hard but still takes time and practice and on top of that you got to have a great vocabulary to put words, rhymes, medaphores, fealings, ect into a few sentances

lol @ wayne having a vast vocabulary

for real....him getting 8 grammy nominations - ridiculous.....no wonder lupe wanted out.

i do not care for little wayne.
yeah, rubbish tripe.
i don't know how people like his music it's fu***n stupid.

yeah I never really got the whole craze, its all a matter of opinion though

commercial garbage; like everything else on empty-v

well instead of being negative lets share our fav. artists

Lil Wayne is a good rapper. Sure his music isn't always exactly deep or meaningful but the man has sick rhymes that are cleaver and unique. What really makes Lil Wayne a standout is his delivery. On every song Lil Wayne does his delivery for the beat is amazing. Its like the lead guitarist finding the perfect lick for a rhythm section.

thank you some body is a positive stoner

love his music, fair enough if you don't. the guy works ridiculously hard and deserves eveything he gets. come on it pretty good to have released a tune at 12

he rapped better at 12, then he does now.

i fux wit his old music, but the shit he been putting out in the last couple years is complete garbage.

if you like hip hop then you have to appreciate what lil wayne has done. alot of his new shit is clubby and is for record sales. i mean comon everyone knows he cant sing but his rock albumb that is coming out will still go plat. anyone who can sell a million copys in a week is doing somthing right

record sales dont equal QUALITY. it just means he went more POP, he made his music change for the mainstream.

and his rock album may not come out, i heard the record execs dont want him to release the rock album. if i can the link, i'll post it...

EDIT:

When you’re a bonafide star, you pretty much get your way. Unless of course your way could possibly get in the way of the cash flow that is. Recently it was announced that Lil Wayne’s rock album, “Rebirth”, had been pushed back from April 7th to May 9th. He announced his plans to do an entire rock n roll album in addition to the release of the Carter V early this year, much to the surprise of his loyal fans who are used to hearing him stick to rapping. Well now I am getting some word that this was not just a standard push back but a direct signal from Wayne’s record label, Universal, that they are not rocking with him on this project.

The Carter III was the top selling album of the year and pretty much Universal Music’s cash cow of last year. They want to do everything to keep Wayne in the top position he is in right now and avoid anything that could knock him from that spot. Word is the top brass at Universal think that this rock album would be a failure and would make the rap world look at Wayne even more sideways than most of us already do. People tell me top execs at Universal have tried to talk to Wayne several times and explain to him that this album is not a reality, but of course those convos are to no avail. Word is that they let his manager, Cortez Bryant, know that if Wayne doesn’t brighten up they have to turn into Mr. Evil Record Company and just tell him it’s never going to be released.

fucking dicks i was looking forward to that, i'm sure he'll find a way though.

oh yeah your right about him moving into pop, but i've got no problem admitting i like some pop as well, still feel he adds to it though, he not bland

Okay, so I came across this thread and I figured I had to share my piece. I've loved music since I can remember and I listen to quite a variety of it. The only thing I want to hear in music is talent (in its genre). This is something I've thought about a lot, but I have to say that in my opinion, Wayne is by far the best rapper right now. What some of you are forgetting (and the reason why I think some of you don't like his music) is Weezy's attitude. He believes he is the best rapper alive, and he doesn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks or says. He says and raps whatever the fuck he wants. He knows he's good, and he'll be cocky about it. I think everyone should let that be his thing (I mean, it is what makes him Weezy Fuckin Baby), instead of criticizing him for it, AND even if you don't agree with that, do yourself a favor and download Da Drought 3. It is, hands down, the best rap album from front to back. You can argue that Wayne isn't the best, or that you wouldn't put him as your number one (and say the typical "Pac is better, Big is better," yada yada), but taking into consideration an entire album, every single song, and account for the flow, the style, the voice, the rhymes, the vocab and the fun you can have listening to it, Drought 3 not only takes the cake, it runs off with the entire fucking bakery. More recently, as in Carter III and this new rock album, yeah, they suck. You have to hand it to 3Peat, A Milli, and La La, but that's it, the rest of it truely is garbage, BUT that's only because the true, good Carter III songs were leaked on the internet for a year before the Carter III was released. If you're a true weed smoker, and you enjoy doing some bumpin when your high just cruising around, songs like Lightin Up (La La La), Living for Dying (or "I Feel Like Dying"), The Zoo, Smokin (or "Smoke That Kush"), and For the World will slip you into one of the best highs you've ever had. These all should have been on C3. Anyway, my point is, try and respect him for the attitude he's developed and the flow he's got. The man actually is kind of intelligent; his rhymes are extremely witty and his vocabulary is endless. Kudos to you Wayne. Keep it up.

just downloaded that drought 3, its sick. love the one over the kanye beat. Its ridiculous how many mixtapes he puts out

its all about where your from i live in the north east usa and its not our thing i can tell you that! "i aint never been to waynes world"

lil wayne actually does have a alot of talent but a lot of his mainstream songs are fuckin gay as hell like mrs officer
but regardless off that he is INSANE on the mic , and i hate when people say lil wayne is wack but lupe fiasco is good
FUCK LUPE FIASCO that guy is so terrible its not even funny

Lupe fiasco might not be your cup of tea but he is the truth . Real talk. No comercial bs just hot rhymes and intellegent thoughts.
