Lil Wayne ... The best rapper alive?

<p>How could you possibly use 3 Peat's arguments in your lyrics...
"money so old, its growing white hair"
inspired lyricism</p>

<p>Anyone who can read the lyrics to this song with a straight face should be in Hollywood: LIL</a> WAYNE & JUELZ SANTANA - Do My Thang Lyrics</p>

<p>say it out loud, its even funnier</p>

<p>some lines don't even rhyme, like

</p>

<p>Um, quilts don't exactly generate body heat, and even if they did, you think Juelz could find a phrase that doesn't make any sense in context that rhymes w/ "quilt"</p>

<p>I mean seriously,

<p>He's actually somewhat akin to Dr. Seuss--rhyming "berp berp" ("burp burp"?) and "jerp jerp"--in that he has no qualms about making up words.</p>

<p>That's fine, you pick what you consider to be lil wayne's best verse and post it here. Convince me he's the best. I'll even ignore his awful flow and annoying voice.</p>

<p>It gets even worse. On probably his best known song, from da drought 3, sky's the limit </p>

<p>Last time I checked, there is no such thing as armadillas. If Weezy is referring to armadillos, it makes the line even more ridiculous...they aren't bulletproof.</p>

<p>Great example of Wayne's cohert lyricism. Note that he couldn't even make a random line rhyme.</p>

What do you expect, I'm from New Orleans,
And majority of my city is rowders,
They tried to make a brand new map without us,
But the tourists come down and spend too many dollars

[/quote]
</p>

<p>As a rapper hailing from New Orleans, Wayne sees it as his duty to make sure people don't support the city after Katrina.</p>

<p>haha you're so in denial and unable to comprehend anything. not the best. ONE of the best ALIVE. Read. no one can match is lyrics right now. most anticipated album. Seriously... who is as good as wayne right now... seriously. I've given you reviews from TIMES. da carter III speaks for itself. who is comin out with the next killer album? or who's come out with a killer album or mixtapes as wayne in the past 2 years? no one face it. </p>

<p>goblue...and what is exactly your argument? yeah i could just as easily pick out weak songs from nas and jay. please.</p>

<p>Go ahead .</p>

<p>Nas: G.O.D, Fetus, I'm gonna be alright or whatever it was called with J-Lo, zone out</p>

<p>Jay: bonnie and clyde, Justify my thug ... lol </p>

<p>Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to list their weak songs. it was too easy Mike. I'm going to go listen to Common's new album. oh wait he doesn't have one. I think I'm going to listen to the record that sold over a mil in a matter of weeks. </p>

<p>Ok. </p>

<p>You should too. </p>

<p>Convinced? One of the best alive, Lil Wayne, Weezy F Baby, Junior. </p>

<p>Give up.</p>

<p>I don't choose what music I listen to based on how many records the person has sold. Should I pick up the Camp Rock soundtrack too? How about Hanna Montana's album?</p>

<p>Anyways, this is pointless, neither of us are going to change our minds, so I'm just going to stop right here.</p>

<p>P.S. Common's new album comes out in September</p>

<p>Invincible</a> Summer (Common album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

<p>haha i agree man. at least we both like rap. i dig everyone you and innocent were talkin about. but i like wayne too. oh well.</p>

<p>Lil Wayne's aight, but The Game, Nas, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Lupe >> superior.</p>

<p>dude, Bonnie and Clyde 03 was tight song</p>

Um, Nas is coming out with a farly superior album in 3 days, and Immortal Technique released a far superior mixtape/album a couple weeks ago.
Dre Detox is going to come out later this year, hopefully, and its been the most anticipated album for like 5 yrs now. You've also obviously never listened to LUpe Fiasco. or mos def. or common. Even complete main steam acts like The Game are so much better than Wayne or Juelz. L.A.X. is going to be a far much better album, The Documentary had the best beats on an album ever, imho. azsxdc is completely right.</p>

<p>Wayne occasionally has a good verse or song here or there. Like, by chance, I was listening to shuffle today and Hollywood Divorce by Outkast came up and Wayne's verse was actually really good...when some other rapper comes up with a theme for a song and Wayne doesn't get high, and probably doesnt write the lyrics, he's pretty good. His voice is too annoying to listen for an extended time though. Go DJ is a tight song, and it isn't amazing or anything, but that's what I think Wayne should go back to. Or Hustla Muzik.</p>

<p>Here is a link to that Nas album:Untitled</a> – Nas – Listen free at Last.fm</p>

<p>when wayne sticks to basic lyrics like "go dj" he's at his best</p>

<p>is lil wayne a better "RAPPER" than any of the people below me?</p>

<p>nas
jay z
ice cube
dre
eminem
ice t
common
lupe fiasco</p>

<p>and if so..who? and prove it...</p>

<p>I really am surprised eminem was not brought up...</p>

<p>Whoever think wayne is the "best rapper alive" are out of their damn minds</p>

<p>Btw detox is never coming out</p>

<p>I can't wait for detox...lol FIVE YEARS LATER....</p>

<p>I wonder if king mathers is real....</p>

<p>The popularity of The Carta III does not prove that Lil Wayne is "the best rapper alive" or even a good rapper. It only proves that he succesfully sells himself to the moneyed suburban masses. In terms of better rappers or rap groups who are alive right now, here is a short list:</p>

<p>Aceyalone, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Jedi Mind Tricks, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, rest of the native tongues posse, El Da Sensei/Tame One (Artifacts), AZ, Big Daddy Kane, Common, Nas, Jay-Z, Company Flow, etc.</p>

<p>he sold a mil??? wait, really? oh man, he must be up with the greatest rappers like vanilla ice (sold 14 mil)........big effin deal</p>

<p>i agree with mymo91 on his list. even this is better than lil wayne: YouTube</a> - People Under the Stairs - Tuxedo Rap LIVE</p>

<p>He isn't good but at least he is better than Soulja boi...</p>

<p>Tha</a> Carter III : Lil' Wayne : Review : Rolling Stone </p>

<p>Lil</a> Wayne Goes Platinum in One Week!
...thats one mil in one week </p>

<p>one of the best right now.</p>

<p>i think T.I. is a lot better then lil wayne. but for rhyming/rapping skills eminiem is probably the best around</p>
