Lil wayne (in my opinion) is one of the brightest most deticated rappers out there. and i see him on the mainstream level, since i do listen to all types of music. At first i didnt like him either, i wasn't paying attention to what he has to say but after i heard him..i can say this ***** IS CLEAN!!!!
He may not be on the same lyrical level as other more underground rappers that don't put hits out...but thats what mainstream is...thats why he is so popular, he puts out hits...he puts out music that the media thinks people like us wants to play. but at the same time he does have CRAZY METEPHORES and RETARDED PUNCHLINES
you guys probably only see him on the mainstreem page..but he does do alot of work in the mixtape game. HE PUTS OUT LIKE 3 MIXTAPES A MONTH..all knew songs..one of the best mixtapes he has put out was BLOW (can't feel my face) duel with Juel santana...And not alot of people know about those songs becuase they dont appear on his album, let alone radio and TV...
But he is way lyrical...but i do not believe he speeks the same intellect as atmosphere...benifit...royce...jedi mind tricks..thats why he is on a different level!...he speeks differently and can rap about what hes been throug, what hes got, the things HE MAKES POPULAR..the INVENTOR OF THE TERM **BLING BLING**
He can be as lyrical as tech n9ne if he wanted to...hes crazy...his freestyles are crazy..listen to him..download his mixtapes..and listen to what he says...is tight..honestly. the carter i really liked..the carter too was ok too but i liked his first cd better..
But everyone is entitled to there opinion...but stating the mere fact that he only based his rap on his money is a stupid reason not to like him. you HAVN'T HEARD HIM..just the mainstreem media what they put out...which utterly i dont like either..i love rap..but i had what the radio plays...what bet videos play..
the best songs are NOT displayed like this..listen to him...hes NICE!!
