Lil' Wayne is like McDonalds, sure they do a ton of business but that doesn't make it good.

Again, Wayne was good up through about 2007, but most of the people ripping on him haven't listened to a single one of those songs except for maybe a couple on the radio. Tha Carter III might be what got him famous in the mainstream, but it's nowhere close to a snapshot of his entire career.

Atmosphere isn't one "emcee" but they're incredible.

In short, rap music is for people who don't really have much musical ability. It truly is the lowest common denominator of all musical genres.

He was famous before Carter III.

I went to vote for Alanis Morrisette and she wasn't one of the choices. It was liking have 10,000 spoons when all I needed was a knife. Isn't it ironic?

Actually, seeing as Spawn left the group a long, long time ago, there is only one emcee in Atmosphere.

Why did you only select that part of my post? If you include the whole post it's clear that I'm not trolling. Do you have some sorta victim complex that requires you to find things wrong with the actions of others to make yourself feel better?

I kind of thought you were trolling too, seeing as you're bustin' up in a hip hop thread saying hip hop sucks... which is silly.

Your argument blows because some of the worst artists in the history of music have achieved the same commercial success as Wayne.

Some recent examples:
Nickelback
Souja Boi
Gucci Mane
Justin Bieber

But hey, I could see you defending a couple of those.

The majority of the world may not be gangsta wannabes and teenage dipsticks, but the majority of Wayne's fanbase is.

You've only demonstrated your simplistic taste in hip hop. There are so many emcees out there that could tear him up in a battle.

I listen to many hip hop artists. It's just stupid to say Wayne is not a great artist.

Who else do you listen to and you could at least give examples of his writing that deems him great, instead of just pointing to fanbase.

I don't point to fan base. I could care less about that crap. I listen to The Game, Eminem, David Banner, Gorilla Zoe just to name a few.

I listen to J. Cole, Biggie, Lupe Fiasco, OutKast, and Atmosphere and still think Lil Wayne used to be really good. Not Eminem, but pretty much no one is. Too lazy to look up lyrics/too many for me to choose from (I might when I have more time) but just start with Da Drought 3.

People knew him, but he wasn't mainstream/annoying until after "Lollipop," "A Milli," etc.

I disagree. "Hustler Music" and "Fireman" were very successful singles, and those were in the 2004-2006 range.

If you want to get technical about it, people knew who he was in 1999 with Hot Boyz and Juvenile.

Those were mostly played on hip-hop stations. Lollipop was everywhere.

I said people knew who he was, but you didn't have every white person in the school talking about him until Tha Carter III. No one really talked about him being annoying/destroying rap/whatever else until Lollipop and his AutoTune phase.

To have done something like Tha Block Is Hot when you were a kid is impressive, but that doesn't mean that record or any others he's done since is a great hip hop record.

His delivery is choppy, his lyrics are just quips, his material is one dimensional, and his beats sound like something recorded off the free edition of FrootyLoops.
