If you watch this interview you'll be very surprised at his intelligence and the things he says. He makes very good points while at the same time being completely open about his flaws. You don't have to like his music, and you don't even have to respect him, but maybe if everyone on here who I see hating on him because he represents a music genre they don't like saw what he's really about they would at least calm themselves down about how much they despise him.

You didn't watch the video and more importantly everything he said is representative of what his music, (his good music), says in a more user friendly and understandable way.

His music doesn't say anything except that he has money and loves hoes. His music is as meaningful as Carlos Mencia's jokes are original.

I know I didn't watch the video... I didn't want to because I'm not very interested in him. It's pretty common for people to judge celebrities that they are not intellectual when we have celebrities graduating from big colleges and maybe even have an PHD... so there.

I love how people assume and generalize an entire library of music based on childish opinions. Of course he has songs talking about his wealth and everything else. He also has songs about coping with Katryna, not having a father, his child-hood friends dying. If you listened to more then the radio your opinions would be much more well rounded.

You're generalizing as if we only listen to the radio and not the albums. I don't like his sound... if I'm not attracted to his sound then I'm not going to listen to his music and most likely not care what his album is going to consist of. He may have sentimental songs about personal things, friends and family, but he does sing about stupid crap too and that's all him too.

Haha, whatever. I just thought it was interesting, and as for the sing his d comment, very mature and thanks for the input, but considering the fact that I wouldn't even put Wayne in my top 10 artists it shouldn't be to hard to stop. I thought maybe people would see this and just maybe wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions about everything and anything having even the slightest bit to do with rap or hip hop or whatever you'd like to call it. Judging by the responses you all would rather ignore what I posted and make the same "hoes and money" argument without having any real knowledge. Anyways, might as well lock this thread

I understand your intentions, and it's like what I said earlier...people find it hard to believe that celebrities are not smart people. Like the fact that Conan O'Brien went to harvard, and a couple of other actor's and actresses actually have their PHD. Acting was a 2nd alternative to their primary career and yet they are now celebrities. Rappers are kinda hard to believe this because of how they act sometimes. HOwever I see them as exceptional business people because they managed to make so much money...50 cent is a primary example.

You're right, I was interested to see what the TC had to say about Lil Wayne, probably expecting something negative... but all I read was that he had some intelligent opinions and comments...I'm like "meh"

Lil'Wayne is awesome.

He basically comes in a recording session and just nails it on the spot. How many artists can do that nowadays? like less than 10%. If that's not true artistry, than i dont know what is.

Although I absolutely despise his music these days, and apart from the fact that I think a lot of the things he does are for money, image, or popularity, he is a decent person.

lol OK, so what does that mean? She also did a song with p diddy I don't listen to him either... My liking her doesn't mean I should like everyone she collaborates with. Lil Wayne sucks bro... Although he has 1 song I like **** the world(he just got lucky with that one).
