listen to Fly in off of the carter 2.I personally think it is one of the best wayne songs and rap songs made period.even as a hater you must see some skill in this songtaj7575

"Yeah, I'm eatin but I gota tapeworm in my tummy" clever, but overall Wayne is still very average to me, overated, and fake.

this is another thing that turned me off.

But yeah, I lisened to the song, its ok, but 1 song? Nice, I will admit, but I still cant...feel it.

I completely agree with the TC. I really don't understand the appeal of the words "A milli" being said a thousand times in a song.JC346

You know Lil Wayne and Kanye also appeal to the white audience...

every rapper that sells that many records has to appeal to the white audience.

Have you every been to a hip-hop concert, even when I go to one for a really underground hip-hop artist I see a lot of white people.

Wayne voice is punishment to my ears, i'm suprised that I actually listen to Fly In.

And a said he had a couple of good lines, but so does every other rapper...

Most Wayne fans are bandwagoners that don't even know how to judge how good a rapper is, So they take other peoples opinions of him as their own. Let me guess you think Kanye is a great "rapper" too?

firstly,many battle rappers can make it to the finals if they are good.I mean cassidy is one of the best battle rappers but can't make singles so he can't blow up. Secondly,yes i listen to the only good em albums,SSLp and MMlp,and he has good songs but his subject matter is never changed for many songs. He isn't that great but if you like him i'm not trying to convert you just saying he is overrated

also overrated=/=bad just means to much praise

it's rap...

it's not supposed to make sense. it's just about making a scene, and that's what "lil wayne" is good at.

I agree, but he did add a piece to this excellent little song.

It was actually Greg Gillis's work, but Lil Wayne should still get some credit.

whatever. he making money and you can't complain, if that was you i don't think you would care what other people think.

lol i didnt read any of this thread except first post

you just dont get him. im 24 so im not some dumb young kid.

and you just dont understand. thats ok.

weezy is somebody you either "get" or you dont

he sounds stupid to people who dont understand his language

Lil Wayne is kind of like the less talented Eminem, a rapper that happends to be better than 90 percent of the mainstream rappers out there, and believe me, 90 percent of the mainstream rappers really do suck.

Like Eminem said in 2000, where Hip-Hop/RnB collabos rule the day, I just spit it
better than ninety percent of you rappers...

Wait Rap is music?

Flameshield ONNNNnnnn

all rap is overpraised, the genre as a whole deserves negative priase.Bauers-Twin

Correct

Go ahead and flame him. Call his music repetitive and over rated. But thats not going to stop me and millions of other people from loving his music. So go ahead and hate if it makes you feel better.JakeTD21

His lyrics are utter garbage.

It's the fact that Lil' Wayne is the complete and utter definition of a Sell Out that pisses me off. He ONLY does what he does for the money (and hoes i guess). People that start making music for fame and money are the worst kinds of musicians (and i don't consider lil wayne a musician).

I myself am a musician who stands for something other than self-gain and greed.

lol how exactly is he a sell out?! he never changed

he started rapping on CASH MONEY lol wtf... u dont even know what you're talking about.

funnymario

just letting u know so that u dont think my opinion is coming from some bandwagon, do wuts cool teenager.

if u dont get him, you dont get him. im not gunna waste my time explaining cuz you just have to be a certain kind of person to understand the man and enjoy his music.

pre-requisite 1 is atleast smoking weed everyday lol

Lil' Wayne, Overrated? No...well...

Yes. Very Muchly So.

His lyrics don't make sense at all, and although he has decent hooks on some songs [See "My Life" - The Game Ft. Lil' Wayne], overall, he's a pathetic excuse for Rap/Hip-Hop. Definately in competition with 50 Cent for worst rappers to hit the scene. Evidence? CheckTha Carter III and G-Unit's TOS [Terminate On Sight], or even better, scope out The Massacre by 50 Cent. Only a fool would have bought that album!

For decent rap that is, check out Young Buck's - Buck The World, or stuff by The Game [The Documentary, Doctor's Advocate, L.A.X]:o:)

Nas, The Game, 50 Cent [kidding on 50:P] Outkast [Big Boi & Andre 3000], those are rappers. Hmm, maybe Young Buck...

"I been around Hip-Hop since '85, she's had her ups and downs....but she's stayed alive" - The Game.:D

I think he is overated and I understand he's not to everyones tastes but to write the guy off as straight garbage is foolin yourself, when he's on point he comes harder (no homo than alot of other rappers out there. Key songs are deffo Dr. Carter, Shooter, 3 Peat & Mr Carter to name a few. You cant be slaggin lollipop either, not my cup of tea entirely but when that comes on in a club it BANGS!!

Dude is one of the hardest working MC's at the moment also, spending days on end in the studio creating stacks of tracks. One of the few rappers making a proper living off the hip hop game in this day and age.

Dont even lump him in with fiddy or the rest of g unit either, WASTE

bapalot

What the hell is "no homo In one of his many terrible "songs" called Back On My Grizzy, he says "You ****** act like Tony Romo, no homo WTF? And what exactly is a "grizzy"? I don't mind rap, I enjoy quite a bit of it. But just hearing "weezy baby's" voice is like hammering nails into my eardrums. I like music that has a meaning to it, which is clearly not the case here.

Hilarious joke there. :lol:

It is and if you opened up your mind to a variety of music then you too would like some rap. I listen too all kinds of music; classic rock, alternative rock, techno, rave, trance, rap, hip-hop, psychedelic rock/acid, blues, reggae, and much more.

Lol, so were "player haters" huh?

Go ahead, lisen to his garbage, while I lisen to Nas, Lupe, Cyne, binary star, etc. Go ahead. Were just "hating" right?

Nas

Cyne

Andre 3000

Deltron 3030

Lauryn Hill

These are my favorites. :)

I'm sure you feel cool because you listen to less known artists. Go ahead and assume that I haven't listened to any of the artist you listed. You think that for some reason you opinion is better than mine. I'm not ignorant, I don't listen to rap just because its cool. I listen to it because I like it.

you dont want to lisen to rap just because it's "cool" .so you lisen to lil wayne right? :roll:

People lisen to him to look cool, or think theyre gangster. Its others too.

I like to lisen to hip-hop that has great flows, beat, voice, great everything.

Now, I will say theres some stuff on the radio thats nice and pretty catchy, but "hoes and cars" being brought up every 2 seconds is so annoying. Like seriously...I dont care you have "hoes in different area codes"...

But have you heard "a milli". Are you seriously telling me thats a good song? Its not just song, its plenty other songs too.

I'm not saying anything about narrow minded but you can be opened minded by listening to rock, indie, and all the types of rock, classic, etc. Not this crap rap is so darn bad you people think i am saying it just to annoy you i am saying it becuase its the truth.Bauers-Twin

Still sounds like an opinion to me.

I'm also wanting to know who proclaimed "rap is crap... the truth"

its like my once beloved Hip-Hop has become a place were overpayed artists rap about how much money they have and the size of there freaking rims...who gives a crap about your car?:|

There are MUCH BETTER rappers out there other than lil wayne, like lupe fiasco, kanye west, nas, jay z, I do agree lil wayne is garbage cause

1) i dont understand a damn thing he says in his recent album

2) i dont understand why people like him for how he dresses/looks imo hes pretty damn ugly.

3) since when has there been the title "best rapper"? and why does he deserve it, hes terrible.

his old stuff is good but damn he sucks @ss now.
