If anyone suggests I should like Lil' Wayne based off his undeserved fame then that's pretty atrocious thinking.

I honestly think Wayne should be a lot better than he is use a lot more subject matter in his songs rather than the lazy shit he does now and just fill his songs with pointless punchlines half the time to pass as being very lyrical.

His labelmates, lol. Drake pretty much goes gay for the guy anytime he talks about him as if he is the greatest rapper there ever was which Drake actually believes when Wayne isn't the best rapper of his time. Biggest credit I'll give Wayne is that he is the hardest working rapper out who pretty much set this standard of work ethic that other artist are trying to follow but it's not equally quality.

Pittsburgh Sound still my favorite Wiz song but that is pretty good though. He's gotten pretty lazy with his subject matter and such ever since put out Black and Yellow.

He's turning into mainstream rap trying to make more like commercial hip hop or club songs instead of his old stuff that got him big in the first place.

Also doesn't help that he apparently stopped writing his rhymes and now tries to do the whole Biggie/Jay-z/Wayne thing with rapping off top of his head which pretty much killed his lyrical ability he had.

I agree 100%.

I've recently become a Wale fan and I love his new album. I'm hopping on the Meek Mill bandwagon too.

Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) has really good lyrics too.

On Wale's Ambitions album I would say my favorite tracks are Focused, Ambition and DC Or Nothing. Kid Cudi killed that chorus.

I would put Tech N9ne over Wayne as far as work rate goes cause Tech does a lot of tours. Thats how he was getting his name out and getting his stuff out there. He had all those tours and then he also has quite a few discs out there. Yeah he isn't selling the millions like Wayne does... but Tech has the abilities that Wayne wishes he had. Wayne got lazy after Tha Block is Hot and he hasn't been the same since then.

I actually think Wayne was at his best on the carter 2 and some of his mixtapes personally. And by work ethic I don't just mean shows I mean features, his own music, the mixtapes, the shows, the videos which he did like 20 before he went into prison. Guy pretty much breaths music which is what I'll give him credit for. Only means so much though when a good amount of his songs he makes nowadays are pretty much about nothing.

Wayne sold his soul over money, and now he's basically whatever the media wants him to be. Wayne will never be a legend like Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, maybe even Eminem. Unlike them, Wayne doesn't have any strong messages behind his music I'm not sayings it's sub par, but it's just not what hip-hop originally was. I'll give him props tho some of those metaphors he comes up with are sick, and that's what defines his name.
