Lil Wayne's New Single

[EmmitBrown]

haha, i like it. he's been branching out for the past couple years. he'll try anything, but it doesn't end up soundin gay like Kanye's garbage.

his Bad.Ass.Grasshopper stuff is mad different but sick too. came out like two years ago.

he's also got a new track called "yes" that's just FIRE...he's definitely on top of his shit. dude LIVES in the studio.

He is the most talented and versitile artist even imo, an i admire his courage for trying to branch out so mucj, but this is horrible, i miss the wayne from tha carter 2 and before, when he was solely a rapper

I really don't understand why so many people are feeling Wayne. I mean... well maybe I should reword that. I can understand why people like his music, even if only due to the fact that it's plainly different strokes for different folks.

But I REALLY don't understand why people are feeling Wayne lyrically. It just doesn't make sense when there's so many rappers out who surpass him in so many ways. For example:

and hell Pharoahe Monch's been killing it for years:

I mean... there's just so MANY artists out there that rap circles around Wayne. I didn't even touch on dudes on Majors like Em, Jay, Nas, etc..

And just to not be completely off topic I can't stand that Prom Queen track. I can really only listen to that track he did with Kanye on 808's and Heartbreak. Everything else just bugs the shit out of me.

[be a debaser]

wayne is garbage... always has been. Jest knows his stuff though not a fan of Black Milks emcee style but his beats are dope... others to check out:

onebelo - Originally from Binary Star whom he worked with Senim Silla... amazing emcee.
People Under The Stairs - more a group, but all good late 90's type feel shit... love it!
John Robinson - he recently released a colab with DOOM's instrumentals
Aesop Rock - a bit differnt if you like the abstract side of hip hop... A lot of his work is produced by blockhead.
Kenn Starr - Probably one of my favorite upincomers... Starr Status is probably oen of my top favorite albums of the last few years.
Blu - Another fresh dude... his colab with exile is FRESHHHHHHH
Blue Scholars - Good shit... a bit of a hip hop movement forming in seattle... beats are dope, sabzi is the man.

I could really go on...

either you're feelin it or you're not. i'm a lyricist and can appreciate the intricacies and subtleties that a lot of you i'm guessing miss.


didn't look at the whole list, but Joe Budden? are you serious? he's aiight, but he's NOT on weezy's level by any stretch of the imagination. that's just an insult.

i'll agree on em and jay, but nas ain't on any of their level either, i said it.

You know.. I'm not a Buddens fan actually. However if you listen to that track that I linked.. it blows away anything Wayne has ever made in his life. And to say that someone who wrote lines like "I'm the bomb like tick tick" is above an artist who made Ether, One Mic, If I Ruled The World, and Nas is Like, that makes me wonder what exactly your consider lyricism.

[EAT BRICK KID]

Lil wayne cannot write lyrics for shitt.

I mean, His rapping voice and flow is cool..(He does good in the ludacris song and Games song.) but he just sucks at writing lyrics.

"I'm rare, like Mr. Clean with hair."

-Wayne


"The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice, I say the darker flesh, the deeper the roots.. I give a holla to my sisters on welfare..tupac cares, but dont nobody else cares."

-Tupac. (My fav pac line.)

[EmmitBrown]

you're quoting wayne's radio stuff against nas's album cuts...that's not gonna produce a fair comparison.

Nas: made you look...you need only listen to the first verse to hear piss poor filler lyrics at their finest. that's bush league. hell listen to the whole song and find one hot bar, i dare you. jada and luda killed the remix though, i'll give 'em that.

Weezy: these lyrics shit on Nas' whole catalog, and this is just some weezy mixtape shit!!!! he sooo nasty.


and to the dude that brought up pac...again you take one weezy humorous line against one of pacs more thoughtful lyrics. what if u put "i get around" for pac...would the comparison be the same? no....i think you guys just aren't into rap as deep as i am or something. i feel like im talking to a wall.
