laurarichardson said: Lil Wayne is a dumbass rapper who should not comment on anyone with talent. We don't really give a rat's ass about what he thinks. He needs to crawl back into the rat hole he came out of and you can go right along with him. The only think I have to say about P's singing is "Adore" apparently you do, you have taken the time and trouble to comment on his opinion. that equates to caring as far as I am concerned. nobody asked for your opinion in this matter, so why did you volunteer it. don't be a hypocrite. if you should only speek about something when asked, shouldn't you keep your mouth shut as well. Rev said: Put aside the use of the N word and the McDonalds comment. Saying someone can't sing and turning it into a compliment is kind of ass backwards. The whole thing is disrespectful no it isn't. it is a common practice when evaluating something or someone. despite fault a, product b was outstanding. this simply is a bigger compliment to product b for being as great as it is despite its fault a. nothing ass backwards about that. you just have to live outside the Prince world where Prince can't be criticizd at all to understand that. PurpleRighteous1 said: dumbass said: there is nothing rude or disrespectful about saying Prince isn't a great singer. not one thing. Prince doesn't have a great voice IMO, am I being rude or disrespectful? absolutely not. that was all that was said. whether or not Lil' Wayne has a single cell of talent in his body is irrelevant to whether what he says is valid. that is where someone who depends on an ad hominem attack shows their ignorance, because they focus on the arguer not he argument. what if I said Larry Bird couldn't jump to save his life, but he was one of the greatest basketball players ever. have I somehow been rude or disrespectful because I pointed out a flaw in his physical ability? no, not at all, because the point only emphasizes how great Larry Bird was despite his lack of jumping ability. so, when most singers depend on having great voices, if Prince canbe considered one of the best of all time despite a great voice, that isn't disrespectful at all, it is actually a bigger compliment to his abilities as a whole. but, no, you Prince fans can't see that because if there is one ounce of criticism of Prince, all heads must roll. that is ignorant. He didn't say Prince isn't a great singer. He said Prince can't sing. That shit is false. He may not rank as one of the best singers, but you can't just deny his ability like Wayne did. it's called context. I can't sing a lick, but I am certain he didn't mean Prince can't sing like I can't sing. if I say Stephon Marbury can't play ball, do I mean that an NBA basketball player can't play ball like I can't play, or is it in context to other NBA basketball players. obviously it is the latter, just like Prince can't sing is in context to crooners who can. taking it to the absolute like you have is either dishonest or simply shows your inability to understand the dynamics and meaning of what people say, which was my argument in my very first post to begin with. this hasn't been a popular position, but are you dishonest or ignorant? this message brought to you by logic. | |

some rappers are musicians, though. Some of my best friends are rappers...
Seriously, a buddy of mine raps and plays a mean soprano sax. There was a backhanded compliment in Lil Wayne's comments that I think a lot of folks are ignoring. | |

The guy says that he uses his voice to get across well much like "Prince" does and even if it isn't a great vocal approach, "Prince" always sparks the interest somehow. It's just that the fact that "Lil' Wayne" actually thinks that he is even as charismatic as "Prince" is quite humoring. Oh, and there still no denying that "Lil' Wayne's Approach" was still imbecilic at best.  | |

But, that other guy isn't half as charismatic to me as he once was a few years ago and I used to be a listener. I think he needs to get a new ghoswriter or something because this current one ain't helpin' him look nor sound so hot, in my humble opinion. | |

"I had an iPod full of Prince from my manager, and I sat and really listened," says Wayne, his eyes now wide and his diamond-encrusted teeth curved into a genuine smile. "And like, this n***a can't sing! N***a just got a distinctive-ass voice. He's the type of n***a where you could just take him out the music and put him on the McDonald's line like, 'Can I take your order?' And you'd be like, What the fuck is that? Same shit happened with my voice. I knew my shit was unique too, so I started practicing what Prince do." Oh, for heaven's sake.  | |
