Don't edit me
I admitted Prince isn't a great singer. I'm not subjective about prince's ability. I'm a musician and I can't sing worth shit. I understand what his point was, but to say '...hey lady you're really working it for an ugly girl...'is disrespectful.

I understand the compliment buried within his ignorant way to communicate it
Dumbass

Rappers are tone def!

This is just a prime example how some of todays artist have no respect and their big heads are fed bullshit after 2-3 albums, they think their gods gift to music. I loved Lil Waynes delivery in the beginning of his career, then he started making homophobic statements and that turned me off, now recently I've given his music another chance, but now I am DONE!

His ugly skeleton looking gold teeth, bad breathe, troll self needs to shut up!
He just won a BET award and he hasn't come close to the fame and success of Prince and perhaps never will.

He's a lame and he's tired, GO SCREW YOURSELF WAYNE. Your music sucks as bad as you do with your mentor/play house father.

Shut up you ugly skeleton with dredlocks!!!
You stink and so does your music!!!

I appreciate the love guys...and u know I already know the deal...I'm just bothered to read threads like these from people with brilliant tastes in music imo...and they just seem to miss the whole thing about how everybody can't pick up a pen be a "tupac" or a "jay z" ....jimmy iovine (however u spell it) himself said Pac and Snoop were the Mick and Keith of their times...and Weezy aint no joke neither when he's focused....but then you get them "Rappers have no redeeming value" posts and it's like "My dude, if you sat in the studio with me for one day your whole mindstate would be rearranged"..man, wait till I finish my next CD

ALL THESE MUTHAFUCKAS NEED TO DOWNLOAD "RENEGADE" AND LISTEN TO JAY'S FIRST VERSE

and on some hood shit...I'll rip everybody in this thread, word up...EARLY!

This is an open message board unless you address certain orgers you want to respond to your topics. I suggest you get use to hearing from me.
I along with about 30 other people see you and Lil Wayne for the ignorant people that you are. I will not even go into defending a fool that uses the n word.

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.

I may have more money than Lil Wayne since I don't spend all of money on gold teeth. Sorry dude is a no talent moron.

This reads to me as nothing but a statement meant to be insulting. The point is so blantantly basic, that even a non-musical/artistic person such as myself knows that having a unique sound to standout is crucial to success. So, what pearl of wisdom did 'Lil Wayne drop?

I am not telling you not to post, I was simply introducing you to the repercussions of your own position. remember, it was YOUR position, not mine, that somebody shouldn't speak on a subject unless they are asked to. well, if that is what you believe, than the same applies to YOU, not just Lil' Wayne. doing otherwise makes you a hypocrite. so, simply admit, you are a hypocrite.

that was a pretty easily understood argument of mine, so not only are you a hypocrite but you also posess pretty poor comprehension abilities, resulting in ignorant responses -- ignorant becvause you don't understand what is being said so you lack the education (or information in this matter) of what is actually being discussed. I am all for you ppsting whatever you want, and Lil' Wayne saying whatever he wants. feel free, I have never said otherwise. you have.

here is my 2 cents in all this.. you can agree or disagree with me. I see so many people in this forum always making fun of other musicians like justin, and lil wayne and im sure there has been many before that. What I dont get is if we are fans of prince and his music shouldnt it be a GOOD thing that other people have found prince and his music as a influence to there own music? even if they are not as good as or like him why do we have to knock them down? Prince's music touched them somehow and maybe even made them want to be in the music biz. I think we should feel happy that he touched them somehow. If prince didnt touch someone with his lyrics then he wouldnt be doing it. So maybe they are not as good as you think prince is but im sure they have some talent otherwise you wouldnt know who they are.

my curiosity got the best of me and i had to look up who this lil wayne was.


omg, he is sooooo Fugly!

well, i figured, he doesn't make sense when he talks, so maybe he has looks going for him... but nah, i was wrong. damn!

he's just jealous!

F all rappers. Sampling ass bitches.

that is because this place is filled to the brim with insecure fans who think that the only way they can keep Prince on his pedestal is to simply believe every other entertainment act sucks.

Lil Wayne is a 2cent crack addict. Like many others in the genre his music is nothing more than a friggin kick drum with swears on the top of it. It makes money because somewhere along the way that became "music"...its not its crap and does nothing to boost or enlighten anyone. Hes a waste of friggin sperm and at the end of the day I take comfort in knowing his music will be forgotten and what he stands for.

ummm, what???
i don't understand this ignorant talk.
i only wish i weren't serious.
what the f**k is he talking about???

SirPsycho said:

Hey, I also rap a few bars in my spare time. Well, more like "WRITE" them. So, what? Are you like a practical free-stylist or what? I'm shabby at that. How are you at this field, huh?

Shhh747 said:

WHAT IN THE SAM SHIT HELL???

Consider the source, folx - Lil' Wayne. He's a no-talent youngin with an overblown ego. Of course, he's gonna think he's the shiz and Prince ain't nutthin' cuz he don't know no betta.

bboy87 said:

My two cents:

1. I can't stop laughing.
2. Big ups to whomever manages him for making a Prince iPod and recognizing Lil Wayne needed to hear it
3. Still laughing
4. Rappers are not musicians IMHO but they are artists. They do create a message
5. I think everyone needs to quit using the N word (or its variations). It is just plain wrong no matter who is saying it
6. I really want to see this guy "do what Prince do". No, really
7. Laughter still pretty strong
8. Damn - tatoos on the eyelids? That had to hurt! But it reminds me of that girl in the classroom scene in "Indiana Jones"
9. It looks like he has "SHIT" tatooed on his left knuckles, but he covered up the last letter with the bling. Poor planning - who knows what "SHI" means?
10. That just makes me laugh some more

when i get in my zone i can freestlye for days about anything, but i'm no where as nice "freestyling" as i used to be...ask any serious spitter and they'll tell you it's all about practice, freestyle everyday while your doing bullshit (like washing dishes) and you'd be surprised what it does for you. As far as writing, I think i do pretty well...click on my myspace and you can download a few songs.

vainandy said:

Actually I have seen Lil' Wayne play a few notes on guitar in one of his videos. But that shit could never compare to what Prince can play.

Or me!!!

Soo... If Prince can't sing, then neither can Neyo, Chris Brown, Akon and Justin Timberlake. because in my opinion P can out-sing all these young cats.

ThePunisher said:

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! I swear sometimes I come back just to see the fights that go on this site. Lil Wayne thinks that Prince can't sing. Has he heard Adore,Question of U and International Lover? When he can get onstage and put on a show that doesn't consist of him just marching back and forth across the stage with the dancers doing most of the work then I will listen to him. And the use of that one word, just has to stop.And my Grandson is a big fan of this clown but not me. But I wish him a successful career but he needs to respect his elder even though I think he thought what he said was a compliment. Go to school and education.
