I guess we just don't get his greatness. Sure he's clever, but his froggy voice just doesn't move me. Rolling Stone even said that he has one of the greatest voices of the 21st century?? ouch. Are they slumming? lol.

I don't really get the love for him either. I'm not (necessarily) doubting he has the goods as an MC. But when compared against MCs in hip-hop history, IMHO, he'd be lucky to be 2d tier.

It goes 2 show how far music has dived.

They like him because he is ignorant and I honestly think critics and the record companies love pumping up an ignorant black man as a form of entertainment. Once his 15 min are up they will go out and find another one. It is really sad when so many talented artist are ignored because they do not go around conducting themselves like ignorant ass clowns.

That's all it is.

I don't get it either. Lollipop was just hot garbage to me. Plus, once Lil Wayne made a derogatory statement against gays on one of his songs, I was done fucking with him.

Lil' Wayne did that? That's funny since this is coming from a man who kissed another man who he claimed is his "daddy".

Lemme find the picture...

yep, Lil Wayne did that.

Vendetta1 said:

Then he's a hypocritical, sexually confused, ugly hobbit-looking jackass then. Wait, he already was. I've seen so-called "R&B singers" do better freestyles to that "Milli" joint than he did. He's fucking wack.

I loved Tha Carter III in 2008 as much as I loved Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele in 2000.

Cinnie said:

That's a big statement. I can respect that.

I think Carter 3 is a great album. Definitely one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade.

DarlingDiana said:

LOL, it's not even the nest Carter he released.

Amazon MP3 had the whole album for $5.00 last week so I said what the hell let me see what all these people are talkin' bout. I listened and was like .

That was horrible. I want my $5.00 back!

namepeace said:

And yet, I can imagine there being a Ghostface backlash had Supreme Clientele been as highly rated as Lil Wayne's offering was. I just enjoy Tha Carter III for what it is.

i can't help but love that one about the police woman. "and all she want me to do is fuck the police. talkin' bout...wee ooh wee ooh wee"

Exactly! Speak the fucking truth dammitt!

Timmy84 said:

Ha..Ha...Classic ....a real Record Label Muppet.... I really hope the industry have a real bad year in 2009 and maybe Real Artist will make money ..cause only they can sing live...and make a complete CD's not just one of singles for the charts...

Yo.....fuck Lil' Wayne. That's all I gotta say.

lil wayne sucks and i personally hold hatred toward anyone who likes him

Then you hate every black teen in America..lol

and me

This is what Rolling Stone said:

""Next time you mention Pac, Biggie or Jay-Z/Don't forget Weezy Baby," croaks Lil Wayne, and he earns that audacious boast. The most eagerly anticipated hip-hop album of the decade is also the best, from the joyously silly Auto-Tune-on-steroids chart-topper, "Lollipop," to the uproarious "Dr. Carter," in which Wayne dons scrubs to revive moribund hip-hop. The dadaist punch lines hit their marks, but Lil Wayne's greatness lies not just in what he says, but in the way he says it — the virtuoso variations in mood and meter, tone and timbre that mark the MC, as much as any singer, as one of 21st-century pop's great vocal stylists."

It is generous, but they got most of the next-level criteria correct.

if you claim to be the best rapper you better prove it.

lil wayne is nothing more than a vending machine full of corny assed similies and metaphors
