names are just gimmicks... now how about his skills?

Overrated.

Agreed. Its a shame because he does have potential. The tracks of his that stand out to me I really enjoy but too many of the songs on the albums of his I've heard just end up sounding like filler. He's also definitely developed a fairly unique approach to lyricism and I give him credit for that. I think he does deserve some respect and attention but he's definitely getting more acclaim than he should IMO.

*Waits for Just Blaze to attack*

the shit he released in the mixtapes (e.g. the drought "era") I liked, along with the first and second carters. Now he is shit. Somebody needs to keep him away from the vocoders.....

Apparently he's releasing a rock album this year.

i heard a song off of it recetly i think. not as bad as i would of expected but still crud imo. it was kinda like watered down 311/sublime, but with a crackbaby vibe.

The rock album sounds just like his rapping but with different background music.

I love him! although his mix tapes are out of control...im curious to see how his new album is. ROCK...?


Released this month BTW!

i think lil wayne is so fly , i love him and me and my bff jaylynnnnn YEAH were his wifeys , you know hes ours so get over it bitchessssss ! MWAH YOUNG WEEZY BABYYYY...That lil wayne is the best rapper of live. And i'm planning to get his name on me.

He's really, really bad.

Compare '3 Peat' or any of his other songs with 'Triumph' by the Wu-Tang Clan. (or anything by mos def, army of the pharohs, jedi mind tricks, dialated peoples, atmosphere, jay-z, nas, rakin, raekown, talib kawli, dj snakk, common sense etc)
