The Hero Of The Zeros

Tuesday Mar 20 5:50 AM CDT posted by Billy Sunday

Let me tell you that I didn’t intend on writing about Wayne because he is becoming old news to me since I haven’t heard any new music from him. Then up pops this latest ‘freestyle’ remix and the internets goes crazy as if some really good music or lyrics has come down from heaven. Like any responsible Hip-Hop fan I tune in to see what all the hype is for and I end up losing two and a half minutes of my life. Is this really what being the best rapper alive has come to? The Lil’ Wayne ‘We Takin’ Over’ freestyle amounts to nothing more than cat in the hat rhymes with a nonsensical theme.

I understand that Lil’ Wayne was prah’lee playing around to show his humorous nature, but he needs to start writing down his rhymes like most competent emcees. Flowing off the top of his head shows all of his deficiencies within his rhyming skillsets. For chrissakes people, this dude is almost thirty (born 1979) and he still rhymes as if he were a sixteen year old. It’s not just depth of subject matter that Wayne lacks but just plain old common sense. Kudos to Sickamore for transcribing the lyrics to Wayne’s off the top of the head freestyle. I say it’s off the top of the head because the theme of the lyrics is brainless. Peep game

Lil’ Wayne tries his best to construct a few verses with polysyllabic terms early in the song. Like any nickel and dime emcee he immediately proves that he should stay in the shallow end of the pool instead of trying to come into the deep water.

“Creative gifted bastard
Spit sporadic”

Don’t we all know that sporadic means ‘occurring singly, or occasionally, or in scattered instances’? Does that word fit with someone who is supposed to be a prolific emcee? Is sporadic how you would want to describe yourself if you had a strong work ethic? Wayne might as well have said that his mic skills were mediocre. That alliteration is more apropos. I was going to stay away from the whole “kiss my daddy” part of the song because it’s silly. I imagine that this is how Wayne addresses all the people that have been questioning his manhood and his sexuality. Not that it matters anymore in Hip-Hop, which has been coming to terms with it’s homo side by the fact that Will.i.am gets so much work and Ja Rule is making a comeback.

Study the transcribed verse of ‘We Takin’ Over’ from top to bottom and see if Lil’ Wayne isn’t trying to tell us a message. He says “No Homo” before he even starts to rhyme. He wholeheartedly admits to kissing a man on the lips with whom he is not a blood relative. He later rhymes about a wet salami (extra nullus) and then he speaks about hanging out with all of his boys in the gayest city in America, even gayer than San Francisco – Miami Beach, Florida. He names his boys and the things they like to do together. Nary is there any talk about females in his rhyme.

Granted, this is a ‘freestyle’ and since he doesn’t write down his lyrics he is prah’lee using his fond recollection to construct the verse. The song is still slipshod and shows that Wayne is far from the best that the rap game has to offer. Listen to the NaS and Game track that XXL has posted for some real Hip-Hop and rap lyricism. Wayne has got a long way to go to reach Game’s level and Jayceon is even younger than Wayne. Birdbrain needs to get his 401k a rhymebook and some broads before I will be impressed with his weak lyrics and weaker metaphors.

On a final note, one of Wayne’s lines in the freestyle says, “It’s a bakery here just trying to get dough”. Now if a bakery doesn’t already have dough in it, how the fuck is it a bakery? Wayne would have been better off saying something like “Cash Money is a bakery, we just watch the dough rise, before our eyes, then we move them pies”. See how simple that was and contextually correct. If I can help your favorite emcee make his rhymes better trust me, your favorite emcee is NOT the greatest alive.

If you are one of the retards that thought Lil’ Wayne crossed some new ground with his freestyle you are the reason that Hip-Hop is dying. Go out and buy yourself some Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat books and a Speak and Spell, or better yet, just kill yourself.

I agree with you, Dude! But i wanna say that lil’wayne is a good flower , that’s it . When he says he’s the best rapper alive , I agree with that ,(fro me rappers are the mtv mc’s) but he competes with TI and Jeezy , these modern Mc’s who take a lot from Jay-z party-flower side but forget tracks like D’Evils.
But if Weezy says he’s the best MC alive , I will say go to sleep! Even Game and even Chamilionaire (Mixtape Messiah) beat him. I don’t even talk about Nas,old-ass Jay or even Ghostface….

Billy, I love your work, but you come off as an old man, who wasn’t lucky enough to get a record deal, when you write shit like this. Quit correcting other people’s rhymes. That’s the lamest shit ever.

Personally, I think this freestyle is the truth, but that’s beside the point. Wayne’s verse from “Hollywood Divorce”, proves he can be as conscious as say a Consequence if he wanted to. He even ripped Andre 3000 on that song.

LMFAO!!!

Sunday ETHERED with this post right here, man. Break that shit down. What nobody also mentioned is theres a version of that track out I heard on the radio and on a mixtape I picked up over the weekend that has T.I., Wayne, and Fat Hoe on it and Fat Hoe even kills Wayne on it man, lol.
Like Ive said, limited vocab, no wordplay, weak metaphors and verbs. All dude has is flow and swag, str8^. Sadly thats all you need for these retards to think you’re the greatest alive. I.E. Jeezy outselling NaS. Its sad as shit.
Someone needs to post that version that has T.I. and LiL Wetsalami (Nullus) back to back and watch T.I. kill this dude, seriosuly. Id rather listen to Fat Hoe’s verse and I cant stand his lard ass or his ugly wife that looks like the asian whore from the VH1 Video Vixen special. Real Talk.

Bravo Sunday. This shit had me lmfao and sayin ‘forreal tho’ the whole post.

My Effin' Opinion says:

I don’t really believe that the rhyme was an “off the top” freestyle. Wayne wrote that shit. Hey, you gotta give dude credit though, he can rap good, plain and simple. He’s from the south and he’s on a way higher level than 4dl,DFB, Jibbs J-kwon and a whole slew of those mediocre rappers.

He’s the best, that’s for sure, but you can’t really say he’s wack either.

Billy X. Sunday says:

^True, Lil’ Wayne is light years above DFB and D4L but he is no where in the league of best rapper alive. His spit is just not that compelling. There is no need to press rewind for Wayne.

Like some dudes say some shit that is just so incredible, mathematical or supernatural that you have to press rewind in order to hear those verses again and again. That Is what the best rapper alive does. That is how the best rapper alives lyrics should make you react. I listen to Wayne and I shrug my shoulders. Dudes flow is meh.

You know whenever my fellow ’80s babies wanna say that Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive or even that Lil Wayne is an exceptional lyricist. I wanna smack them in the head with a GZA verse. GZA is the perfect example of a pure lyricist because his verses are so simple yet so unbelievably conceptual.

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr (born September 27, 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana)

That makes him 24. He was born in 1982, not 1979. Obviously, your ambition far exceeds your talent. Nice try though.

Billy X. Sunday says:

^Yes marshmallow brain, it IS all about the meaning of words. So don’t use a large word if you don’t know what it means.

Your favorite rapper says his spit is sporadic. This means infrequent, or rarely. Is that the word that describes his style?

Wayne should stick to cat in the hat type rhymes since larger words are not in his wheelhouse.

 

March 20th, 2007

Huey P. Langston says:

I think anyone who expects hip-hop artists to use big words properly is getting too caught up in the semantics and doesn’t appreciate the artistry of lyricism, which is different than other verbal forms of expression like, say, poetry.

I do agree with you that Wayne is spitting some incorrect shit. But I think it’s at the sacrifice of looking for new ways to express himself. At least he’s not biting as much as some of the suggested greatest MC’s of all time. I mean he bites, but I’d rather hear you say some shit I’ve never heard then bite some shit I’ve heard before.

Dr Flav says:

All I can say is, evidentally he is someones GOAT, maybe not yours but someone. Some of these region lovers should not be so insecure about thier GOAT, he may be your greatest, but not someone elses. Waynes campaign for GOAT is working for his demographic and insulting someone for thier opinion or taste is juvenile. (no pun intended) PS you make dough in a bakery, the flour, eggs, milk, salt, oil and powder doesnt mix itself.

 

March 20th, 2007
at 11:45 am

my opinion says:

Ok…now I totally believe WAYNE IS NOT THE BEST DEAD OR ALIVE. BUT, currently he is the “hottsest”. As in controversy, appealing to different crowds, doing R&B joints, and s__t like that. Its his consistancy that keeps him looked @. People just have to understand that. Alot of people are better RAPPERS than Wayne, but if nobody shows their face enough, then we just agree with they guy who says it all the time. You cant hate on wayne and say he isnt the hottest. But dont say dumb s__t like “he’s the best”.

Weezy’s entertaining everyonce in a while, but I can’t even listen to his Predator-lookin’ ass w/o smh. He ain’t real, he ain’t the greatest, or even top 10 (IMO), and his voice sounds like he’s still trying to get his balls to drop (nullus). As far as Game not being able to go 8 bars without name-dropping everyone he knows, at least he stays on topic, blends his ideas together, and don’t kiss fuckin guys! I’m not a wayne hater, but lets see Whoopi do a whole 16 on topic without nonsense, made-up words and wack ass onomatopoeia (look it up bitches). Til then, enjoy his bullshit, but keep him off that damn pedestal!

Dr Flav says:

As far as the use of sporadic, he spits rhymes in scattered instances WITHIN VERSES, see Go DJ. “AND SHE KEEP ASKIN/HOW IT SHOOT IF ITS PLASTIC/YOU’LL SEE HOW IF YA BOY RUN UP/SHE SAT BACK AND CUT THE CARTER BACK UP/…” What Wayne does is scatter the words at varying tempo, but hey I just listen for entertainment, Im not seeking the universal theory of atomic fission.

Billy X. Sunday says:

Flav,
Touche on the bakery comment.  I think you just created the category that Wayne can be the best in.  Most ENTERTAINING rapper alive.
If there were a caveat about Wayne being the greatest Southern rapper alive I would still have issue. Everyone wants to judge the best rapper on everything except his rhymes. What the fuck are record sales? What the fuck is a swagger? What the fuck is a flow? The greatest/best/G.O.A.T. has to have lyrics before all that other peripheral shit to even rank and Wayne don’t have the lyrics to match up with the best.

Lil’ Wayne has got to get his weight up. No, literally… Did you see that arrest report? Dude weighs 140lbs. WTF?!?

AK DONOVAN says:

Sunday, my hateful friend, props for a detailed deconstruction job, but sorry to bust your bubble - it was WRONG!

If someone says they “spit sporadic”, it doesn’t necessarily refer to how often they spit. It can also refer to HOW they spit - they could spit in a sporadic fashion - on beat, off beat, double time, half time, lotta words, few words - which describes Wayne’s flow.

As for the bakery thing, when one runs a bakery, one of the most important things is, duh - getting dough! Otherwise you can’t make bread! Or pies! Or profiteroles! Therefore Wayne’s rhyme was much better than your boring, beentheredunnthat attempt. Stick to blogging.

As for that Game/Nas joint, I am a fan of both, but it was pretty cliched and boring. The Wayne joint excited fuck out of me. Stick your own no homo there, all you terrified closet cases.

ACTUALLY HE WAS BORN IN 1982 NOT 1979. GETTING OLD BUT NOT THAT OLD. BUT I FEEL WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM. I AGREE HE DOESN’T TELL A STORY ABOUT A CERTAIN TOPIC BUT HIS RHYMES ARE CLEVER. ALSO I DON’T THINK HIP HOP IS DYING! I JUST THINK ITS CHANGING WITH THE TIMES. JUST LIKE R&B. THESE R&B CATS ARE NOT ON THE SAME TIP AS THE TEMPTATIONS, O’JAYS, SAM COOKE, AND THE MANHATTANS WERE BACK IN THE DAY, BUT R&B IS NOT DEAD! THAT’S JUST WHAT RAP IS DOING! IF IT WASN’T HOT TO THE MAINSTREAM AUDIENCE, HE WOULDN’T SELL AND PEOPLE WOULDN’T TALK ABOUT HIM AS MUCH AS THEY DO! HIS FANS ARE HAPPY WITH HIS PRODUCT SO IF YOU NOT A FAN, FUCK IT, IT DON’T MATTER!

Now Wayne is by no means a GOAT in my eyes, but I give him credit for what he does, without getting into his personal biz, because if rumor is correct a lot of fans feelins would be crushed @ the DL discovery of thier favorite rapper. While looking up polysyllablic’s literal definition, I discovered this word, sesquipedalian, I think that word describes the reason behind a great loss of interest in traditional east coast rap, using large words in raps doesnt work for everybody.

Um, no!

I think as an executive, Sickamore would be great for Lil’ Wayne’s career in a Steve Stout kind of way. You know, doing an endorsement deal for Wayne to push lip gloss and all types of lip products for men and men on men kissers. Imagine, Lil’ Wayne rapping about Chapstick, Blistex, or even being Kiehl’s new poster boy. HOT!

Nullus, of course.

@Dr. Flav

He said “trying to get dough” not “trying to make that dough”, which would have also made more sense.

“AND SHE KEEP ASKIN/HOW IT SHOOT IF ITS PLASTIC/YOU’LL SEE HOW IF YA BOY RUN UP/SHE SAT BACK AND CUT THE CARTER BACK UP/…”
How is that a sporadic rap? Its a simple rhyme scheme, its rhymes on the last word of the bar. As opposed to say eminem where every other word rhymes.
I.E.
Eminem “no apologies” - The Re-Up
“I choke mics like affixation
When I’m strangling my own throat masturbating
Fuck yeah I’m a basket case
And I mastered this rap shit till my ass gets wasted
Till my assassination, till I’m slain cuz of some fags infatuation
.44 Mag’s fascination a taste for disaster and if that’s the case then

No apologies, nah suckers I’m not sorry
You can all sue me; y’all could be the cause of me
No apologies, y’all feeling the force of me
No remorse for me, like there was no recourse for me
No apologies, not even acknowledging you at all
Till I get a call that God’s coming
No apologies, laugh fuckers it’s all funny
I could spit in your face while you’re standing across from me
No apologies”

Eminem is the sickest MC alive. Wayne cant even hold a candle.

When you write about Wayne you judge him on kissing and shit more than anything. You hate that nigga more than you do his flow. Just too much hate, on Wayne and the South in general. I still can’t get over a grown ass man not knowing his regions in America. Still blown over that.

Wayne does need to step his game up to be the best. Doesn’t have that storytelling that makes BIG/NaS so special. But he’s better than 95% of what’s out there, because his rhymes are weird and scatological and his flows get so crazy.

Game’s got some skill, but he doesn’t have any content. I could give a damn how many groupies snub him or how many rims he’s got. Wayne’s better by a mile.

E Real Im on a Sprint so I Didnt type the whole verse, my point was to illustrate the stop/go sporadic/spasmatic style Wayne uses. (just remembered Kurupt Used sporadic in a verse) Thoreauly, using big words for no reason, see Mobb Deep Infamous Skit, that made Keith Murray bomb on them.

But is your name an homage to the baseball player/evangelist of the same… and am I the first person on here or dallas penn to catch that…. anyway….

I find lil’ Wayne wildly entertaining and personally think his flow is ridiculous, however he certainly lacks a lyrical depth that my favorite NY rappers have.. i think NOZ brought up some valid points on his blog..

Wayne is a good rapper (And yes I agree Game is better than him, I don’t know if hes the best alive, but at the moment I say game is my fave). Wayne isn’t going for that lyrical style so I dont judge him on it. His delivery is incredible and his approach to rapping is fhresh and new. I don’t care what you say, his flow is not “meh” its totally off the walls and memorable. You say he’s like the kid in the shallow end of the pool. I say while all the other kids went into the water, Wayne stayed on the beach and made a sand castle. Wit the ultimately limited skill set he has, he has managed to make something of his career.

And why da fuck is everybody here tryna use big words now? Who ya’ll fooling? And who cares what year lil Wayne was born? Who cares if Wikipedia screws up? I mean come on.. half of ya’ll leaving comments would fuck B’s moms before HER and she’s like what? 47?

Buy da music you want. Stop hating. Get off people’s dicks. Stop saying “teh ghey”, Jeezy’s shit is hotter than Nas’, Kingdom Come was wack, NY Hip Hop BEEN dead, and will somebody PLEASE slap the shit outta Ja Rule for tryna make a comeback.

I thought is was appropriate to bring that up since XXL just did a piece on Canibus.

Billy X. Sunday says:

MEANWHILE OVER AT NOZ’ BLOG…

This is a fantastic and heartfelt post Noz, but I think your infatuation with Wayne has caused you to become blind with intellectual oversight.

Wayne is NOT the best rapper alive. PERIOD. Not because he kisses men because plenty of rappers do, but because he is not the best rapper.

Vocalisations are part of what the first human instrument brings to the game. The fact that Wayne can pant and chirp and slur his speech makes him an entertaining and interesting rapper, at best. In order to find yourself a viable candidate for BEST RAPPER ALIVE shouldn’t you have to be good at… RAPPING?!?

Now when I say Cat in the Hat rapper I understand that there is a place in hip-Hop for these people. Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein are two of my favorite authors and their prose is often spartan (and sporadic). I wouldn’t dare submit Dr. Seuss’ name in a contest for best author alive (yes, I know).

My job here, and I take it seriously sometimes is to guard against the forces of supremacy who would one day reduce Hip-Hop and rap music to semi-lyrical utterances. Scatman Crothers was an artist albeit, but he shouldn’t be the definition for jazz music. His part was truly small. Supremacy will one day try to rewrite the history of Hip-Hop just like they do all other cultures, and there will be a narrator whose voice has a slightly British accent and he WON’T be a Black man.

F.Y.I. Huey Langston - you have a slick pen name but you don’t know shit about my grind nigger. Real talk is that I don’t know any rapper birthdays like the historian here does but I do know ‘Trane’s born day. Why don’t you get back in your lane and peep some of that soft core shit your crew is famous for?

Wayne is NOT the best rapper alive, not hate bitches, just real talk. It looks like some of y’all can’t handle the truth.

Nullus says:

Noz already ethered you on the “spit sporadic,” but I’d just like to add that there is, in fact, boldface reference to women in this song. As Sickammore transcribes, “If a girl gotta voice then she talking about me!” Damn homey, if don’t care about wordplay in action, go to a damn celebrity poetry slam so David Banner can blow your mind with his “deep poems.” Or, better yet, bore yourself to sleep on the last five Nas albums.

u know (i hope) that your interpretation of wayne’s use of the word sporadic and the bakery line were far off the mark of the initial uses in the song.

Any one wit 1/2 a brain can hear wat dude meant but apparently u don’t have that 1/2. See Noz’s post to see how wrong u can be.

First of all, I’m not a LIL WEEZY fan but why is it ( Billy Sunday ) That you’re refering to the fact that Wayne misused the word “sporadic” when New Yorkers are the original “peoples” to start commercialized slang that had absolutely no ties to what the initial definition was? Tight…Hot…Dope…Da Shit. The fact of the matter is that Hip Hop did in fact start In New York or Queens Bridge (Where the fuck ever), but Southern rap is essentially a completely different genre. Memphis, New Orleans, and Jackson were the pioneer cities for Blues, funk, and Jazz which was the origin of what would eventually become hip hop seeing as though these were the first major African American musical entertainments. Reggae played a big part as well but when was the last time you heard heavy polysyllabic verses or lines in reggae period? If you want to get technical the south had more to do with the progression of urban music than any city in the North. We never complained when NY “M.C’s” failed to give credit to pioneer musical cities or when “Outcast” got booed off of the stage of the Source Awards because of the ignorance of the East Coast, West Coast beefs. “The South has got something to say” and now we’re saying it. Maby not through polysyllabics, or through bitterness or anger. Defense perhaps, but I would say we are entitled to that.

I thought you were for the expression of the black man…What’s wrong with having fun? Or Diversity?

Quality post Sunday.

To the moron Wayne stans that bring up the “you hate Wayne, you hate the South” line, pls go to wikipedia & learn about

association fallacy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy

There are plenty good Southern MCs. Just because I evaluate Wayne is OK at best (pause) & his album Carter 2 as mediocre-to-wack, doesn’t mean I “hate the south”.

The south has plenty of quality MCs:
Phonte (Little Brother)
OutKast
Scarface
Strange Fruit Project
Clipse

BTW, this is analagous to right-wing extremist “wingnuts” that claim “If you don’t support W Bush, you don’t support the truths & you’re helping the terrorists” Obvious association fallacy

The association fallacy is like a virus in some folks’ brain

In closing, by yall’s logic, you would conclude
1 Jim Jones sucks, therefore all Northeast rap sucks
2 Nelly sucks, therefore all MidWest rap sucks
3 Fergie (Black Eyed Peas girl) sucks, therfore all California rap sucks

2 did not claim in every interview & rap verse to be the “best rapper alive”

A couple years ago only how I could read up on Wayne was to go on Cash Moneys website. Now I can go anywhere to hear people hate or prays the so called best rapper alive. Personally didn’t like the freestyle. But hated the fact that you wrote the Game is a better emcee than Wayne. Everythin Wayne raps on is not the greatest but he’s killin these guys out here.

this article was obviously published because its one of the few that actually wanna go against the grain and say wayne is not the hottest. and i guess some idiots bite that but the ones who actually listen to wayne compared to the rest of the industry…welll i guess REAL REALIZE REAL son

DADIPLOMAT says:

‘Young Stunna’ simply said, “You hate all south rappers so obviously you’re going to have a biased opinion.”

Which is not consistent to your “association fallacy” principle. (NONAMESBUEY) It actually breaths life to a new topic. The writer of this column is “obviously bias”. Which brings pertinence to my initial segment.

Perhaps he is not bias on this topic, but my point was to simply flush out all of the defects of his post by returning to the source. The fact of the matter is in dealing with wayne you must first consider the fact that he is from a completely different region. ( A region that has more to do with the beneficial musical outlets of the urban community than the latter.) Nas uses the word “Hot” quite often. Not in reference to the climate or his personal polar opposites and he gets away with it. Why is it that when Wayne uses a word in his own creative sense, he gets an entire column written about it? Polysyllabic verses don’t make you a good M.C, it makes you a good New York M.C., and I suppose we should simply lay down our rights to seize the music ourselves because of your creation of such a genre. Why? When you took Jazz and Blues and funk music and made it into something of your own and we had no complaints of who was better at it. Motown even turned it into a genre they call their own. (we respect that)

All in all, opinions are opinions. If Weezy wants to believe that he is the greatest rapper alive let him do so. You are treating this as though our freedom of speach has been taken away because your almighty opinion has fizzled its way to the summit of your thought process. Stick to what you listen to and stop criticizing. It just makes you seem as though you have nothing better to do. Go listen to Jay Z’s latest album and keep rewinding.

[...] Harris Publications columnist Billy Sunday at XXLmag.com has taken up the supercilious position that Wayne is spitting nonsense raps, somehow not worth considering because they are playful and simply rhythmic. Even I was hesitant to give Weezy F. his much-deserved due as “best” because I saw him falling short by the “classic album” milestone I hold so dear. All that aside, Wayne is the best and probably most effective with the form for several reasons. [...]

I haven’t read every post on this disjointed discussion, so if this point (in defense of Wayne as an MC/artist/rapper) has already been brought up, oh well…

Being a complete MC is much like being a complete basketball player… there are differing areas of your game to focus and attempt to perfect. Many players excel in particular areas (shooting, defense, ballhandling skills) but it is extremely rare that a player excels in two or more areas, but when it does, players like that are often considered among “the best”.

In an MC’s case, lyrics, flow, and delivery are often the top 3 skills people listen as most important for an MC to have.

With this being said, often when I encounter people who dislike Lil’ Wayne, they love to concentrate strictly on the admittely unvaried nature of his lyrics and subject matter as if those two things comprise the entire definition of a good rapper/MC, but neglect to mention his clear excellence in very crucial parts of rapping/MCing like delivery and flow.

Lil’ Wayne’s incredibly diverse delivery is to, me, unparalleled. In many of his acclaimed freestyles he is able to access a myriad of accents, tones, and cadences that mirror without biting the deliveries and “swaggers” of many artists. While early Carter 1 and 2 comparisons to Jay-Z were valid, all Wayne’s deliveries and flows after The Dedication 2 have been able to morph into styles quite like others but still his own. For example, on the recent “Poppin’ (Remix)” by Chris Brown, Lil’ Wayne mirrors Ludacris better than I’ve seen probably anyone.

On the freestyle being discussed in this blog, the author completely neglects to mention both the numerous flows and deliveries that Wayne was able to glide through during that track. I challenge anyone to go back and listen to that track, looking not purely at lyrics (one facet of being MC),but concentrating on
how many deliveries and flows he grows through.

Which brings me to lines like, “It’s a bakery here, just trying to get dough”, which were not only overthought by the author of this blog, but misguided. Wayne delivers that line in a comedic “White” voice, almost like a joke. The emphasis of the punchline is rooted in the power of its delivery.

Lastly, from a pure riding the beat standpoint, Wayne has one of the most elastic flows in the game and will weave 10 flows in a 3 minute freestyle. Don’t believe me? Listen to his “Upgrade U (Freestyle)”.

Ok one thing you need to understand is the fact that that argument is the reason that guys like jeezy are hot…at the end of the day lyrics are the most important part of rap.not flow not delivery…lyrics seperate the great rappers from the good rappers and the horrible rappers.Lil’ Wayne is maybe the greatest babbler ever because he can say anything stupid and make it sound good..but that doesnt change the fact that he is babbling.At the end of the day the thing that a real hip hop fan wants to hear is lyrics.A lot of wayne’s success is the work of a producer making beats that fit his flow and his voice. Wanye is a good rapper but definitly not the best at any point in his life.This is the first time Wayne has actually had any type of originality in his flow and delivery and he comes up babbling.He started out rapping like BG then when they broke up he started rapping like jay-z and now he’s done with rapping like jay and started just trying to be like him by not writing. The problem is when Wayne doesnt write he doesnt make sense.But he’s god these guys on his dick so hard he could say anything that rhymes and because his voice and the beat mesh so well they will love it.
