Lil Wayne

[ShinraRengan]

I know nowadays everyone hates Lil Wayne except a few, don't get me wrong he fell off but he doesn't suck. He's just a decent rapper now, but 4-7 years ago when he made Carter II, Carter III, and Da Droughts/Dedication mixtapes, would you say he was the best rapper alive at that point? I would.

No. Rap sucks. Hip Hop sucks. Country sucks. Only Classic Rock is any good. It's my opinion of course.

You are very closed minded

[Yusuke Urameshi]

You are very closed minded

Good try, but no. I used to love rap and hip hop, like 4-5 years ago. I then came to the conclusion it's garbage and started listening to classic rock, as I did before I listened to rap and hip hop.

Modern music, in general, lacks the same soul and complexity as classic rock. Taylor Swift said she wrote 'Never Getting Back Together' (or whatever it's called) in around 25 minutes. When Led Zeppelin wrote Stairway to Heaven (which alot of it was "stolen") in 2 hours, that was considered incredibly fast.

To say a entire genre is garbage that is close minded. i would say that hip hop and rap could use more substance as far as the quality of music but thats hard for an artist to do unless he or she is independent and making enough money to be independent cause at the end of the day its about making a better life for you and your family and if that means making some ignorant music then so be it.

Dude, Classic hip-hop is just as good as classic rock.
Young Em
Big L
Nas
Tupac
Biggie
Wu-Tang
etc etc.

Even some New school kats such as:
Joey Badass and Pro Era
Funk Volume ( Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, SwizZz)

You should not judge all of hip-hop/rap on that commercial B.S. on the radio called "Rap", You said you listen to it rap before but have you listen to old school hip-hop cause it doesn't sound like you have to be just calling it garbage.

Classic rick is just as bad as those genres. It's the same repetitive riffs in the same key followed by a standard pentatonic guitar solo.

lol you're a Díckhead, don't even come on this thread, then make a comment irrelevant to the topic

OT: lil wayne was sick back then but defiantly not the best alive at any point

[Kichiro Fujimoto]

Define "Best Rapper Alive"? You can't can you..... I know. Its alright.

[ShinraRengan]

Best rapper alive would be someone with the most success in there career... recently Wayne passed Elvis's hot 100 record...

he dont suck its just what the industry want him to do. who they want him to appeal to. thats why most of the songs he comes out with now can get steady rotation compared to before when all them cuss words were blockin the songs from being on......plus he isnt on drugs.......wayne sober and him on drugs are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Well his probation ends next year, we'll see.

Who gave him that title?

[ShinraRengan]

Who gave him that title?

CNN

[Kichiro Fujimoto]

CNN

Really?...... Really?...... Really?.... LMAO. Wow!! I that you would have said people or himself, but CNN. Who is they? They are nobody.

Rapper with the most legitimate lyrical content, delivery , shit like that. You might say its completely opinion based, which isn't entirely false, but saying who is better is different than saying who your favorite. Example best nba player: Lebron James(not argue-able at this point in time) my favorite current nba player;Kobe Bryant

[xjimbox]

Don't care for him I feel like just speaking his name is a waste of oxygen..

[MellowHype]

Decent? C4 is trash and so is D4. He fell off as soon as C3 was dropped. He started going mainstream like every other artist does. 2002-2006 is the Wayne I know. Also, don't come to the thread and state that you hate rap and go off topic. It's like going to a thread about country singers

[shinobu sensui]

Agreed, now he can't even competed with a single artist in good music, excluding two chains and teyonna Taylor

[Kage Phoenix]

[ShinraRengan]

I still say Waka and Souja Boy did
