Peas You Said Music Out Right Now When Was The Last Time Lil Wayne Droped An Album Early 2005
Ok dude first of all there is no Question in all this crap you typed and that is the ppoint of this site now go find a chat room!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tech n9ne is the best rapper alive!!!!!!!!!!
u left out Lil Kim
Peas: i could be wrong, but i dont think the question is stating rappers that are "hotter" than lil wayne right now. the way i read it, it says rappers that are more lyrical than him..i could be wrong again, but i dont think hot=lyrical
References :
agreed on all of them….lil wayne sucks…
Oh yea, I must add Erik Sermon, Foxy brown, MF doom, Dre Dog, lady of rage, Q-tip and Phife dawg, too $hort, Brother Ali, Jeru the Dajmaja (or however you spell it), Devin the Dude, and Game to this….
References :
Why you hatin on Wayne? Da*m. OK…Andre 3000, Cee-Lo, Talib Kweli…great lyricists. Where’s Cassidy? I’m not sayin they are better than Wayne, but give the man his props.

References :
I MUST have just missed it but, wheres Eminem? I agree with you Wayne is shit but come on…Em=Lyrical
References :
Dog Your killing me! You put Too Poetic on the list! RIP. You put Strecth from Live Squad! You put sun Spot From Mystik Journeymen! You put Asheru! MC Serch!!! Somebody has a clue about what a real MC is.
References :
Of course they are better, but only a handful of them have hot music out right now, getting air play.
It would be nice to have, sh!t all of the rappers on your list out right now, but where are they?
To be hot at this very moment, you need to have music out now.
Out of sight out of mind.
References :
response: Lil Wayne has several screwed and chopped albums out, not to mention all the songs and albums that he features on.
He’s not out of sight. If he was out of sight, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
I cant believe some of the names on this list. Killer mike? Grand puba? And a bunch more? How can u even try to say they are better than wayne. Quit d@ck ridding these artist that aint worth it man. There are not many right now that are colder than wayne when he writes. Some songs are lacking when he freestyles it, which maybe he does just a lik too much, but cmon man lil wayne is cold no away around it. If he could just drop baby he could be that much better

forgot jedi mind tricks, and busdrive…ill forgive you this time

References :
half that list.not everyone in world knows.
so you gotta narrow it down.
lil wayne is better than half of those people. cuz i ain’t never heard all them.
lil wayne is taking mainstream and radio and mixtapes.
but your right he is not the best lyrically.
either way everyone is nice.
References :
Masta Ace should be on that list.
References :
I disagree on quite a few actually. I think that Lil Wayne kills people like Cage lyrically.
References :
While I understand the point of what you did, honestly there are a lot of guys on there who are better than Wayne….and thats just being real….Madlib? No….and to say Cage doesn’t have more lyrical skill than Wayne is blasphemous….you must have never heard his new album…or old album…or Smut Peddlers s hit…or Nighthawks….or Leak Bros…or 12 inches…
References :
You left out Weird Al
References :
Add Chamillionaire to that list.
References :
F**K DAT S**T LIL WAYNE MY NIJJA
References :
ummm ok half of the people in that list i never heard of in my life. except for z-ro, big boi, and andre 3000 and the only person I agree that is more lyrical is z-ro. ask for the rest..Lil Wayne win most lyrical by a long shot!
References :
and soo much more…
lil wayne is just a punch line lyricist and that gets boring
kids in middle skool come up wit stuff like that i dont really like to waste my time with him but like "im so high i could eat a star" or w/e like 4real so ya hes whack
References :
where the hell is nas, jayz, biggie, big pun, big l,lloyd banks, beanie, freeway, cassidy,the game, killer mike, jadakiss, styles, dmx, shyne,
who the hell are those other ppl?..did you make those names up??
lil wayne would murder those unknown people..mixtapes enough said.
i agree canibus, killer mike, ghostface, mos def, talib, common,
how you forget method man? raekwon?foxy brown? erick sermon? krs one? nas?cassidy?
but lyrically how much money do u make???? at the end of the day gotta feed families, and yourself.
lyrically can only take u far, but hot music takes u above!!!
only few rappers are lyrically and hott music at same time nas, jayz, biggie,
if you can make alotta money and be lyrical thats even better.
but just being lyrically doesn’t really get the rest of the crowd.
36mafia are not "lyrical" but yet make alotta money and oscar
and eightball is not on ur list?
where is project pat? give the south some credit.
u really hating on lil wayne? and yet u still bump his shyt.
YO at least respect it, and move on.give the man his dues and props.

References :
I don’t wanna be a hater but what about my man Lupe and my man Consequence?

lil wayne is what is hot now so is t pain ti kanye etc…

Lil Wayne’s last studio album was Tha Carter II released in 2006. Yes, those artist have better mic skills than Lil Wayne but none of them are selling records like he is, only Lauryn Hill when she made music. I don’t understand why people are hating on him so much. I guess its him claiming he’s the greatest rapper alive. If that’s the case, people are doing exactly what he wants, talking about him. Everyone hating is keeping his name in their mouth whether is agreeing or disagreeing with his claim. Jay-Z has made the claim of greatest rapper alive, doesn’t mean he is though. I like Lil Wayne but I don’t think he’s the greatest. I’ve liked him when he was just a kid and no one cared about him hardly when Cash Money first started. He’s paid dues and haven’t fallen off. Weezy got swagger and people like it but don’t worry, he’ll lose some of the spotlight in 08. And by the way, some of my favorite artists are Ras Kass, Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, Mos Def, Common, Redman, Gza, Ghostface, Rakim, The Roots, Can-i-bus, Busta Rhymes, OC, OGC, Helta Skeltah, Buckshot, 2Pac, Keith Murray, Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Big Pun, Big L, Chino XL, Slum Village, Dilated Peoples etc. A lot of those more underground acts I listen to and have some of their album but I’m not gonna re-list what you already typed. When I seen you put Bahamadia, that made me go and pull out that album, real talk. – One

EMINEM AKA Marshall Mathers..
1 of the best lyrical rappers in the business. I didn’t see his name listed on your very long best lyrics list, I hope it’s not because he’s white and people think he shouldn’t be a rapper. I’m glad EMINEM is mainstream the WORLD get’s to hear him spit his ill shit.
