Lil Wayne is by far the best rapper of all time. He singed his first record deal at the age of nine. What other rapper has done that? None. Wayne rose to the top of the rap game very fast. At one time he was the president of Cash Money Records, where he found Young Money Entertainment. He was the one that started giving away music for free online, this music was later given the name mix tapes. Yeah he smokes weed, yeah he drinks syrup, yeah he drinks alcohol, but that’s how he works. Everybody works differently. People who say these things just don’t really understand Wayne. When he gets high, Hes in the “zone”. There are 2 things that make Lil Wayne the best rapper of all time. Similes (metaphors, analogies, etc), and the fact that he could care less what other people think.
Lil wayne uses similes and metaphores in his music to make it unbelievably good. Examples of it would be:
· “I stick to the script, I memorize the lines, cause life is movie that I’ve seen too many times”
· “I’m calling n-ggas out, like the umpire”
· “If time is money, I’m an hour past paid”
· “Don’t come down here, if you ain’t from down here. F–k around and get stuck like gum down here”
· “ if lifes a B**ch then mines a gold digger”
· “ im good im 100 like a fast ball”
· “don’t test me mafu**a I study”
· “im killin these ho’s, lock me up for murder”
· “some of us are lovers, most yall haters”
Obviously, there is nobody else who can come up with these sayings. Nobody can really put words together like he can.
Lil wayne also plays guitar and skateboards. A lot of people says he cant do both and that he needs to quit but, does he really have to? Wayne can do whatever he wants. He has a house on the beach, he has a bugatti that gets 5.2 mpg and he drives it everywhere. What else does he have to accomplish? He is already the greatest rapper of all time. If he wants to play gutair, let him. If he wants to skateboard, let him. Even if hes not good, you cant get good at something unless you keep practicing at it. He keeps rapping to get better and to set the bar higher for everyone else to try and meet. if you criticize him, your almost making yourself look stupid because his music, in its own way, is a work of art.
I respect your opinion on why you think wayne is the best rapper. I like the fact that you put numerous examples in your blog that further proves the point you are trying to make.
ReplyDeleteI like that you used so many examples of why you think he is the best rapper.
ReplyDeleteI respect your opinion; however, I disagree. True, he was probably the first ever to get a record deal; however, I don't believe he is the best rapper of all time. He has decentt lyrics, but most of them don't flow well with each other. Although he isn't the best in my eyes, he does have excellent methaphors/similes. By the way, I think instead of singed, you meant sang.
ReplyDeleteI like this because I agree with you on your position. I hear so many rappers talk about stuff thats just stupid but Wayne songs make sense, sound good, and the lyrics mean something. I bet most people didn't know he went to the University of Houston and made good grades there

ReplyDeletei like how you have numourous examples in your piece, it proves your point very well.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive, although he does use some really good metaphors and similes.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to prove your point, I do, however, disagree that lil Wayne is the greatest rapper alive.
ReplyDeleteI respect your opinion but i have to strongly disagree with you mason.
ReplyDeleteThen who do you think is the best? Loretta Lynn? Not! Lil wayne is way better than that iold lady. My opinion,.
DeleteI AGREEEEE. Lil Wayne raletes to us. And is a very good lyrical artist. His use of words make shis music go harder than any other rapper in the game.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ya that he is the best rapper. I like all of his songs. Where da syrup at!?
ReplyDeletelexi,summer,hannah,jenni,allie: okay, tupac really aint the best rapper. he was the Wiz khalifa of his time. he comes up with good songs but he never puut in the extra 'mile' in his music. he is to contriversial of being either a good or bad influence. and how can you say wayne dont have flow? like, what the heck? he is the only rapper who can say something completely random and come up with a phrase that goes good and ends up making sense. he has flow. thanks for trying to argue though :) and i garuntee that all of yalls rappers havent had success that lil wayne has or will have. nough said
ReplyDeleteMason, his earlier music was the "bad influence". Okay, so Lil Wayne can come up with something on the drop of a hat and make a song about. That's not really skill. That's horseplay. True, he had a couple a good songs, but what he has been coming up with lately is just horrible, in my opinion. Yea, Tupac is controversial from his earlier times to his later times; however, he ended well. What he truly believed is what went into his later songs. Look at all of the interviews he did, that'll tell you what he truly believed.
