  17. You niggas is crazy! Says:

    His style is good, but his rhymes are sometimes whack.
    Jay-Z had to upgrade him on Hello Brooklyn.

  18. 4realzsonny Says:

  19. Champ Says:

  21. East Oakland Roy Says:

    I agree with Number 7

    hahaha

    -Me

  22. ????? Says:

    Come the fuck on! this nigga has no kind of impact on hip hip or in the art of music in general. He thinks he is great? Greatness is something you cant give to yourself or call yourself,you have to earn it period! He will leave no kind of legacy behind he make no kind of sence and talks about nothing dont front we all know this.The proof is all around you.Really listen to lil wayne you hear nothing listen to 2pac,biggie,Nas,outkast,mos def,common,and jay z real rhymes and story telling. I do give wayne sum credit he has found a way to get everybody to ride his dick

  23. ChrisFromthaDtothaPHX Says:

    yeah… i remember when everyone was high on the drug we call ” Lil Wayne ” and now… where is he?..

    he basically missed his Nut, so to speak if you asked me…

    no homo
    -Cam’Ron

  24. ????? Says:

    Wut we really shout do is get a real old school battle wit all the real lyricist in the game and see who comes out on top and end all this who sold more and who had the most features who had the better single bullshit.

  25. Mi Mi © Says:

    Im gonna give this nigga the benefit of the doubt till Carter III drops…

  26. Hip Hop fan Says:

    ya niggaz mad weezy is the hottest nigga out? ya mad that weezy got the body of a greek god? no homo, but ya niggaz stay hatin on my boy weezy so i gotta hurt ya feelings…..ya mad weezy got a better body then ya? no homo again but its clearly the reason why ya faggots hate on him

  27. White Bread.................................................... Says:

    lil wayne is a homo ass, ugly dreadlock, tattoo, short lookin, wierd voice, punchline spittin rapper……..and if you understand me then you’re satan.

  28. HOVTHEGOAT Says:

    He can’t make sense because he’s too fucking high to understand himself. And this whack nigga thinks he can carry hip hop? NOT! Never supported him and even if I understood his stupid ass, I still wouldn’t because his lyrics and flow’s whack.

  29. Pounce Says:

    I respect his work ethic behind the mic. After that who cares about magazines and shit. Most of these niggas dont wanna do the shit anyway. Labels set it up when you have a project coming up.

  30. Anon Says:

    Good memory.

  31. mike Says:

    Complex need to be sued for swagga jackin that Vibe cover like that….damn same…lmao

  32. mike Says:

    i meant SHAME

  33. anon Says:

    i’m a wayne fan but likening him to pac is just over the top
    and he has yet to put out a truly classic album. he’s prob just ridin this hype for all it’s worth cos he’s got a whole lot to lose when that album drops…with all this promo bullshit he could be setting himself for failure cos the expectations are ridiculous now

  34. Ribs Says:

    #25 dont worry bout.. Even 50 cent was compared to pac in an interview he did with Sway on MTV after “Get rich or die tryin’”…and he was talking about how consistent he is and how he won’t be topped lol

    Its just the media trying to sensationalize Wayne. Possibly to revive poor hip hop sales.

  35. ian Says:

    > oh shit i just saw the Tupac vibe cover LMAO..complex has no shame copying that shit like that

    I think it’s call an homage.

  36. makaveli Says:

    lol damn lil wayne keep cool with success

  37. 100Guns100Clips Says:

    anybody that works as much as he does has to be crazy – i always knew he was sick

  38. TheMeda510 Says:

    bra. weezy comes out with an albums worth of fire every 2 months. no one does that. and if they try to its garbage. and whoever said that weezy hasnt come out with a classic album? go listen to the carter 1. manny fresh at his finest with weezy’s hardest spittin? before he was seen as the greatest? come on bra. and bra that said his flow is wack? what tracks are you listenin to?

  39. Truth Says:

    #5 Wayne could get a lot, a knife in the eye or punched in the face, but the pussy….HELL NAH!!!!!!! Nigga’s mad annoying and it don’t look like he’s packin at all. Besides, who wants Trina leftovers?

    The Pac-like cover is just a rip off and marketing strategy, nobody thinks Wayne is better than Pac in any shape or form.

  40. Mag Says:

    @5.

    You have really low standards.

  41. EJM205 Says:

    #30 Nigga Weezy aint came out with an album in 2 years shut da fuck up. A mixtape aint an album my cousin can make a mixtape every 2 days too. Jay Z created a classic album in less than 2 months. I fucks with weezy but chill out with this dick ridin he aint great yet he only got 2 good albums (Carter 1 and Lights Out)

  42. EJM205 Says:

    My bad I was talking to comment # 29

  43. jd Says:

    why do yall stay on lil waynea dick, damn does he own this website.

  44. Youth_Spoken Says:

    lil wayne is wack and his voice is as annoying as nails to chalking board..real talk!..that cat is trash and it seems nowadays its more of a Quantity over Quality this is why hip hop is dead..people cant tell skill from trash..sad!

  45. B Says:

    Oh lord jesus help me plz

  46. TheMeda510 Says:

    @33

  47. KING POP'P Says:

  48. TheMeda510 Says:

    will somebody tell me who is better then wayne in every aspect of being a rapper

  49. itsme!! Says:

    wayne is talented, even HOV said that..if he thought he was so wack wayne wouldn’t be in a Jay Z track at all. Also if u listen to the American Dreamin track on American Gangsta album, HOV spits a rhyme sort of mentoring wayne, “You’re now in a game where only time can tell
    Survive the droughts, i wish you well…
    Survive the droughts? I wish you well?
    How sick am i? I wish you HEALTH
    I wish you wheels, i wish you wealth
    I wish you insight so you could see for yourself”…then guess what the next track is “HELLO BROOKLYN”..so haters just stop it!!!LOL

  50. Can I have some fries with that? Says:

    co-sign 37 yea that was some real shit

    #32 u can not like wayne but saying he’s wack?? u lyin to urself homie

  51. scorpio Says:

  54. MizzRenee Says:

  55. TheMeda510 Says:

    yall haters aint got no swag.

  56. LWonder Says:

    i dnt like that they took that concept from pac as if they are tryin to impliment somethin that is far fromthe truth…

  57. LWonder Says:

    and i was NEVER a wayne fan… im glad ppl are comming around… ppl r finally waking up from the coma wayne put niggas in

  58. TheMeda510 Says:

    ive been fuckin with wayne since everybody thought he was alright in hot boyz. he been clean. “I slap ya like shawn kemp girl” what? come on! thats when he was 16. he been fuckin wit it. yall just woke up to him recently. i mean yall can not like his music but give him the respect he deserves

  59. moonwalker1298 Says:

    @29

    Funny…if i remember correctly thats the album that Gillie wrote…

  60. jd Says:

    #39,#37, HERE ARE THE RAPPERS THAT ARE BETTER THAN WAYNE, jadakiss,freeway, gillie da kid, styles p, t.i, beans, stack bundles r.i.p, luda, hell rell, jr writer, uncle murda, cassidy, joe buddens, busta rhymes, papoose, lloyd banks, rass kass, royce 5′9, grafh, common, lupe fiasco, andre 3000, stat quo, bun b,

  61. TheMeda510 Says:

    “#39,#37, HERE ARE THE RAPPERS THAT ARE BETTER THAN WAYNE, jadakiss,freeway, gillie da kid, styles p, t.i, beans, stack bundles r.i.p, luda, hell rell, jr writer, uncle murda, cassidy, joe buddens, busta rhymes, papoose, lloyd banks, rass kass, royce 5?9, grafh, common, lupe fiasco, andre 3000, stat quo, bun b,”

    im laughin my ass off right now at who u said was better than wayne. bun b? buahahahaha. come on dude. whatd u do just start writin names down cuz use a hater? ti? im not gonna hate on a few but none of them are better then wayne. they may be close in margin with him but not better. and what r u basing ur opinion on? not content. not swag. not tracks put out. not metaphores. not album sales.

    and dude that said gillie wrote the carter 1. he might a helped on on the concepts of shit. but he didnt write shit. he just tryna get publicity cuz his flows cant get him no where.

    and anyways jada used to write biggies rhymes.

    get off waynes dick.

  62. Duval!! Says:

    Haha is that Lloyd Banks i see in that list..that must be a joke. First of all Lil wayne is a totally different rapper then most of those dudes. Quite honestly i think wayne is a beast, yeah ok he might have some corny lines when featuring on other peoples shit, but thats b/c he’s tryna get paid ..but his albums are crafted and u can tell he puts a little more into those ..unlike Ludacris ( luda is my dude, so i ain’t tryna diss (jay-z)) but hes amazing on other people songs but his albums are always lacking something…So i leave yall with a random lil wayne lyrics:

    “Flip ya vehicle, split ya winsheild
    Wack ya Baby momma but I let the kid live.
    And people say that I am a kid still, cuz the lil nigga still rides on big wheels
    You feeling animal then come on and get killed
    The sig peel bandanas like bananas
    Say I’m slight bananas I blow a weekend in havana
    In my cabana with my bottom bitch from savanna.
    Man a train couldn’t stop ya man
    I man up and you not a man
    I stand up, say I got my land
    I’m the man of my land
    Call it lil-weezy-ana
    Thats the new plan.

  63. famousape Says:

    i whanna see joe budden and wayne go at it so we can see how wack wayne is

  64. TheMeda510 Says:

    joe budden!!!!!! buahahahahahahahaa

  65. Marley Swagalizm Says:

    Y the fuk does every rapper bite 2pac when they think they at the top…… Please even in his demise rappers swagger jackin his style…… This is not gangsta….. I got no problem with wayne but he is a swagger jacker when it comes to vocals and swagger jacked Jay-Z and now in the flesh tryna be like P-A-C c’mon…… this iz an outrage,,,,, and everyone knows GILLY from PHILLY birthed his flow…….

  66. JohnDeezy Says:

    @#48

    Yo son take that corny ass flow outta here, I can bet you one of them southern niggaz that never heard any good shit till Gillie Schooled wayne on how to rap, but he was better off when Gillie was writing for him, thats why the Carter 1 was hot, and thats why dudes used to like him back them. And another thing you said that makes me know that you from the south, or dont know shit about rap is the fact that you called Lloyd Banks wack, do me a favor, read some of his lyrics and see what I’m talking bout, son is on Cass level.

    A bitch know it’s a compliment if I stop to check her
    Nigga all I got is hot shit the kids call me Dr. Pepper
    And I don’t mean da soda
    The 16 top shot loader ‘ll bend ya ass up like yoga
    Your fuckin wit a soldier
    I’m sellin tickets for a first class trip to a hospital folder
    So please keep talkin
    So we can spread your feet, and have you on your boulevard C-Walkin
    The birds keep hawkin, why?
    Cuz I’m burnin every CD and Walkman from D.C. to Boston
    I laugh at a snotty chick, bitch I don’t argue
    I’ll leave a print in your ass from a karate kick
    Them niggas that I be wit, got guns on the big body tip
    And if they pull out you’d prolly shit
    Jewelry got me in heavy gray pictures
    Plus I light up trees like every day’s Christmas

    LLOYD BANKS,
    song(Lay you down)
    Album (G-unit’s- Beg for Mercy)

  67. The King Says:

    lets keep things in perspective
    thats the problem wit 2days generation, they dont have to earn anything
    u can have 1 great year and call yourself the king, the best rapper alive, whatever you want.
    wayne is a good rapper, good rapper not great, or greatest, or the best
    he is good and sum of his shit is hot,
    great rappers are almost always hot,
    every song, every verse, every album
    got it
    damn youngings wit they damn cough syrup and codeine
    only god can understand the extremely mentally retarded
    enjoy wayne while you can, he’s headed straight for a wall witout a helmet

  68. NYC Says:

  72. TheMeda510 Says:

  73. TheMeda510 Says:

  74. FlyDude Says:

    And MOst Of The Time He Spittin’ Weak On Purpose I Think.
    And I Still Don’t Believe Gillie Da Kid Whahaha He Talkin’
    About I Wrote The Whole Carter3 But Nigga Aint Makin’ Money! Ahaha Lame Bitch! And #52 Fck You And Your Lloyd Banks Verse He Aint No Lyricist At All Just A Mthrfckr Talking On The Track Ok A Good List Of Rappers;

  75. santana Says:

    wayne stop kissing dudes thing u wont think like that

  76. Pounce Says:

    They compare up and coming anything to past legends in every field. Kobe, LeBron, D. Wade all know what im talkin about when they get Jordan comparions before they make there first all star team or win a title.

    They compared DMX, Ja Rule, & 50 to Pac. Ive heard plenty of niggas get compared to Hov and so on. Just comes with the line work you in when your a rapper.

  77. Juicy Says:

    @Mag if thats how u look at it, thats cool. i wonder what you do. he’s getting it, he followed his dream and is making the most of that. im on a blog talkin shit, my nig, not really a groupie like that, just my way of saying i like his swag.

    i cant wait til this shit drops. even with all his senseless babbling, some music just sets a certain mood.

  78. Triniboy Says:

    Lil wayne is a talented rapper but he is getting a little too played out.

  79. Juicy Says:

    TheMeda510 i cosign that statement. he been cold since he was a boy, he works hard, he’s still in the game and he’s getting more popular. shouldnt hate for that. some of yall niggas talk shit and have the nerve to have links to your myspace pages so we can hear your music. its all WAAAAAACK!!! LOL

    but this is a blogspot, we say what we want. who do niggas hate more, wayne ot 50? hmmmmm

  80. Murda Ma$$ Says:

    lil wayne raps like shit get it threw ya head all u whiteboys downloaidng his same shit over n over again

  81. jd Says:

    #55, your either from the south or u don’t know nothing about hiphop, 18 yrs. or younger,or your more than likely all if u don’t agree with that list, cuz i know alot of u south niggas is 10 yrs. behind, so i will let u slide cuz u don’t know no better.if u sit back and listen to every rapper i named in that list, u will agree there better than wayne, don’t be bias towards them cuz your waynes biggest fan.

  82. rockrivbalboa Says:

    He’s actually wearing the new LRG hoody

  83. Big Boi Says:

    #82 He looks like the LRG HOODIE when its Zipped up LOL

  84. itsme!! Says:

    Yeah i see no one has anything to say about my comment, i prove my point… in case u did’t see it here it is again..

    wayne is talented, even HOV said that..if he thought he was so wack wayne wouldn’t be in a Jay Z track at all. Also if u listen to the American Dreamin track on American Gangsta album, HOV spits a rhyme sort of mentoring wayne, “You’re now in a game where only time can tell
    Survive the droughts, i wish you well…
    Survive the droughts? I wish you well?
    How sick am i? I wish you HEALTH
    I wish you wheels, i wish you wealth
    I wish you insight so you could see for yourself”…then guess what the next track is “HELLO BROOKLYN”..so haters just stop it!!!LOL

  85. BjornBjornson Says:

    #81 is a fuckin retard. i admire anyone who can sit down and listen to any of the rappers on that fuckin bullshit list bcuz that person is patient as fuck. personally i cant listen to weak ass rappers for hella long and over 75% of the rappers on that list are weak ass rappers. I dont know where the fuck u are from but i am definetely not from the south, nor am i 10 years behind, and i kno that that list is bullshit. lets move on

  86. themeda510 Says:

    #81 you must be eatin a dick cuz i don’t think i understould you right. you got me fucked up im straight the mothafuckin Bay. that somehting you prolly don’t no shit about. bruh you said royce da 59? bruh my artist was just in the studio with him in the bay bruh. yeah thas right…MY ARTIST. someone whos under me. i know hip hop. and anyways Mistah FAB ate royce da 5 9 in a battle! u really have no clue….bun b!!!! im still laughin!!!! and i aint smellin under 18. still. yall haters got no swag

  87. TheMeda510 Says:

    #81 you musta been eatin a dick cuz I think I misunderstould you. I’m straight out the mothafuckin BAY. Never been from no south. 20 years old makin more moves then you ever smelt. You said royce da 5 9? I gotta artist who was in the studio with him a week ago. Peeps were sayin my artist was killin him. MY ARTIST. Someoneunder ME. I know what the fuck I’m talkin bout so don’t get at me like I’m stuck on pac. That’s you 10 years behind bruh. And any ways weak ass mistah fab killed royce da 59.but you prolly didn’t know that huh… U just pullin names out ya ass bra. I co sign wit 85. U retarded wit no swag

  88. BjornBjornson Says:

    Weezy is and has always been a great rapper. I don’t know if there’s any up and coming rappers out there whose first feature choice wouldnt be Lil Wayne. Besides all the artists he brought back this year (Ja Rule, Mya, Enrique Iglesias…) he also put dumbass rappers on like shit (Playas Circle…), fuck it, even Brisco’s weak ass has a song with T-Pain now. If he’s not the greatest, he’s taking the final step to becoming that. And I’m pretty sure that motha fuckas like JR Writer n shit are not cleaner than wayne. Weezy just hopped on JR’s remix and by far had the cleanest verse. Wayne.

  89. iLlM@T1K Says:

    Joe budden is WAYYYYY better than wayne

  90. jd Says:

    #87, since your from the bay, u really don”t know anything about hiphop.yukmouth is the only nigga from there who can spit, fuck a mista fab, e-40 is legend but he is not relevant to hiphop now. so go do your them corny ass hypey dances and get dumb and sit down, there is no real heat coming from the bay, and fuck everybody who doesn’t agree with that list, the only person i regret putting on that list is stat quo, but i think the rest will eat lil wayne up in a rap battle, RAP BATTLE- NOT SELLING RECORDS OR THE MOST CAMEO APPEARANCES OR KISSING MEN OR BEING SCARED OF 50 CENT OR BEING A FAKE BLOOD OR A HAVING ANOTHER RAPPER WRITING HIS ALBUM, bay area niggas have no right talkin about what is hot or not cuz nobodys really hot from out there. and quit lying u ain’t got nobody under u, u bloggers always live in this fantasy world, u e-mail thugs,i got family in oakland and they always say rap out there is horrible espicially the young niggas comin out,they still listening to old shool cats like the click,luniz, spice 1,too short, thats why e-40 and short dog went to atlanta, and nothing dope coming out the u punk ass nigga.

  91. yellaboy Says:

    lil wayne is the best rapper alive niggas need to understand that and the shit he says is crunk yall jus mad cause he makin money and yall aint so hop off his dick already ya digg!!

  92. pinchmehpink Says:

    Muhammad Ali said, “I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.” i think thats exactly what wayne is doing and you gotta give him alot of credit cus every1s believing it…and that makes him sick as hell
