well
1-the sound of his voice,,,just syntax is great. he has the ability to either ride a beat or just kind jump into the pocket of a beat and just kill it..
Can we say Autotune? His voice emulates a digital whine, IMO.
2-weather you say his metaphors are elementary or not...a lot of them are hot and make you laugh...."young weezy in this muthafucka, so hand cuff her. she aint nothin but some stairs, i dont ran up her!" that is some great shit that mad me laugh.
That's not great, that's stupid. There is no rhyme what so ever and he tries using slant rhyme, which in turn he butchers as well.
3-his beat selection is always on point. that is why a lot of rappers fail. the beats they pick just suck. look at nas...great rapper, but cant pick a beat for shit.
Beat selection? Oh wait, yeah he is great at chopping other artist's work..
4-the man puts is work....he has dropped a ton of songs in the past few years....he does what he gets paid to do....WORK ETHIC
Work ethic? How many of his songs are original?
5-he has been around for 10+ years. now he did suck early on, but the Carter was hot with a fresh new wayne all over it
He's totally fake. He was a wanna-be "gangsta" when that was cool, yet now he's into the whole urban rockstar scene.
6- wayne does not rap about many new topics and we know is not a gangster or what ever...but his lyrics are so believable. he has a voice and persona ON SONGS that really make you think he has done the crap he raps about
LMAO, refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW_GpBM_Qc4
His lyrics are ripped from other artists, refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mptMWzF1K_k
Ever wonder why he doesn't do many live performances.. lol.
7-i do enjoy his heart felt songs, after katrina, he kept ppl thinking about it for a little while longer. other than the saints...what else does New Orleans have? lil wayne
LMAO He used Katrina to further his career, heart felt alright.
