Lil' Wayne is killing it right now.......

[lowrey]

no, he clearly said "worst lyrics ever". "lyrics" and "what they are talking about". that doesnt mean delivery.

I'm talking late 70's/early eighties. I'm talking about before Run DMC blew up with "Sucker MC", I'm talking before Kurtis Blow became the first rapper to do a verse on a non rap song (Chaka Khan). I'm talking about T La Rock, Cold Crush Brothers, Furious Five, Melle Mel etc etc. Let's hear your take on that period of rap.

Preach it, Brotha Ed!

You five dollar boy and I'm a million dollar man
Youse a sucker MC, and you're my fan
You try to bite lines, but rhymes are mine
Youse a sucker MC in a pair of Calvin Klein
Comin from the wackest, part of town
Tryin to rap up but you can't get down
You don't even know your english, your verb or noun
You're just a sucker MC you sad face clown!

Brim leanin, cup tilted, blunt flickin
Get money, **** bitches
Young Weezy, young pimpin, she love it
I keep goin, she keep cumin
what you know bout it
So bout it like Master P
but no coward
No I am no Howard the duck duck
Lead showers, black flowers
Black dresses, two hours, closed casket
Ma dough tactics is so crafty

Words and content are two different things. Someone can rap about going to the deli and getting milk and make it interesting in the same way that someone can rap about an infinitely interesting topic and make it very boring.


BTW, your boy Common was interviewed a day or two ago. He was asked about the "controversial" current top ten MC's list that MTC put together (Lil Wayne was 1, Common was in the top five I think.) When he was asked who are his personal top rapper right now, after mentioning Fabolous and Papoose and Jay Z, he said that Lil Wayne is essentially the best out right now. So I guess he doesn't know what he is talking about either.

But without no money, it's still a wish.

you're right about making something interesting or dull, but that doesn't differentiate words and content. what someone is saying = content.

"To me when judging rappers skill, it's irrelevant what they are talking about"

still not making sense.

if he said that Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive, I'd be interested in reading this interview.

It was last night (11-11:30ish or so) on Funkmaster Flex's radio show here in NYC. Anyway, it's only music, really don't give this much of a **** about it. Listen to what you want, I'll listen to what I like and everyone is happy.

I thought we had a west coast vs. east coast thing goin' here....

Common is the knowledge, best to check your facts;
He'd sell his grandma out for a check from the Gap.

Lil' Wayne the greatest? Maybe Lil' commercial anus.
Minute fourteen of his fifteen minutes famous -
in four or five years, he's a rapping lounge act in Vegas.

As far as image/gimmicks go, no one tops Lil Wayne.

I'm not sure Lil Wayne won't be around, given he has made it 10+ years already.

To another poster:

I try to defend Wayne, but how in the world is Common, Mos Def, Kanye and Talib garbage? I don't mind a mix from time to time, sometimes I listen for the beats, but for the most part, I listen for the content. Rap needs the diversity to stay alive, and it's all just a matter of taste. If content wasn't a factor, we would have an industry full of cats like 50 cents (it seems its getting that way).

Speaking of delivery has anyone heard the new Keith Murray track, I forgot how sick Murrays flow was.

I never said he wouldn't be around.

 

[Southern-Nupe]

My bad Toyko, he won't be doing lounge acts in 5 years.

This may be off topic, but what is 50 cent smoking for him to challenge Kanye on record sells?

 

[chronoaug]

It's a ******* publicity stunt. They're both in on it and trying to generate more buzz. C'mon, man. There are no winners when they make albums though.
