Best Rapper Alive??

Posted by Bossip Staff

Time Magazine argues that Lil Wayne is the cream of the crop:

Lil Wayne has a smoke-scarred rasp that makes him sound like Redd Foxx covering Bob Dylan. It’s hardly the voice you’d expect from a 25-year-old rap star, but then, it’s been a busy 25 years. Whether Wayne is, as he claims, the “best rapper alive” is no longer even debated in hip-hop or commercial circles. Since June 10, when his latest album, Tha Carter III, sold 1,005,545 copies in its first week, he’s been the undisputed champ.

True, this cat’s sales may be off the charts, but they took it to the next level with this shyte. Best rapper alive? Whateva.

    No Doubt!!! In my eyes, Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive. This dude has left his mark on practically every hot song out - whether it be mixed tape jams, rap jams that dont make the radio due to explicit language, and regular radio jams. His swag is hella sexy and he aint scared to keep it gutter…He is ridiculous!! I’ve watched this dude for practically his whole career and even during the drought, he was killing ‘em on the underground mixed tape circuit. He has my vote all the way. Make it do what it do, Weezy F. Baby!!!!!

    This black actor tried to be faithful after marriage but his urges have taken over. He’s currently cheating on his wife with a variety of black and white models and a few actresses.

    Interestingly, he can’t stand to see black women with white men. The sight enrages him and he refers to them as “sell-outs.”

    He’s usually private but he can barely keep it in his pants. Before marriage, he was involved with a very pretty woman but he creeped on her with a disease (non-fatal) infested woman who is pretty but scandalous.

    He’s getting tired of the dating game (on the sly). But instead of being faithful to his wife, the word is out, he’s on the lookout for a permanent mistress, ASAP.

    Hint: Movie/TV actor, very well known actor in black community.

    fans love their artist drug induced i see. Clearly i must applaud this man for convincing everyone that he is nice and “the best rapper alive” because you got to be a clever individual to do this. To be honest I can see why they believe this, they are obviously not listening to the music..they are going by what the charts are saying and seeing as though his main audience are teenagers and early 20’s weed smoking individuals maybe in this time he is.

    I dont know about best rapper alive, but I think he may be in second or third place right now. People gotta understand, dude been doing this since 13 years old. His metaphors are sick. Wayne can rhyme no doubt, and he has truly evolved. All he gotta do is stay away from the drugs, stress and overspending. If he doesnt, he risks dying at an early age like other great artist such as Jimmy Hendrix.

    Actually, I hold a Bachelor Degree in Business Management & Economics, and an Associates degree in Accounting I work hard for my money, I own a home - in the suburbs - and two cars…and I listen to Lil Wayne. He is Hot…It is what it is. Atleast he usually has a topic to talk about as opposed to artist like Ashanti who would rather chant: Baby, baby, baby all day…

    white people are alright, but I’m not a big fan of that wannabe bullsh#t…

    If you’re a cool white person = you’re cool…

    I’ve said all of that to say = Look I hate when white people try to discuss rap, what’s good & what’s not… Furthermore, I can’t stand to hear white people try to critic Black Music, Art & Culture or any other form of artistic expression by people of color… Sorry, just my personal opinion :-(

    What the f#ck do the writers of Time Magazine know about Hip-Hop Music?
    But you know what they’re a business and they did the article on Lil’ Weezy to move some of their magazines of the shelf - I understand ya’ dig…

    “Tell the coppers, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”

    The only people that think Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive are ALL under 21, and don’t know sh#t (no disrespect)…

    I like him and all - but when he says he don’t write his lyrics down, it REALLY sounds like he DOESN’T write his lyrics down sometimes…

    u don’t have 2 b a hater or suffer from an acute case of bitchassness just bcuz ur not feelin’ his music. U either do or u don’t. Sometimes it’s just that cut and dry. Kudos to him on his status/success, but he’s just not my cup o’ tea.
    And I just wish that I could choose when/when not to listen to certain songs but wherever I go, regardless of the hood, his tunes r blastin!

    Record sales dont mean SHIT!! Vanilla Ice sold, MC Hammer sold, Milli Vanilli sold, Ashanti sold….does that mean they’re the greatest??

    I swear, black people in American can be so fucking dumb and gullible sometimes. How about looking past record sales, you simple minded idiots?? Wayne can barely even speak English properly, sounds high as fuck, isnt even good looking, and doesn’t make good music (like Common), but somehow gets praised.

    Something ain’t right.

    @ Earth sign..co sign 100%

    I think that Wayne is definitely talented and I must say, not one other rapper out there can even compare. I do think that his better work was a few mixtapes/cds back, however the syrup is obviously taking a toll on his creativity and HARD METAPHORS

    ________

    LMAO!!! That’s right he DID LOL. But like you said that don’t mean SHIT!!!

    Large and rapid record sales do NOT equal “the best” whatever that may be. He is damn near the ONLY mainstream artist left, everyone else is taking their money and diversifying it in other ways ie Jay-Z, Diddy and 50 cuz they’re smart enough to realize the days of big money from large record sales and entrepenuership via indi record lables are going VERY rapidly, faster than Universal and Warner can keep up. But I aint mad at them. For years we have been churning out superstart after superstar and for the first time in 25 years, all were left to pick from is Lil Wayne. They are just doing their job, doing what they’ve always done, looking for the next “superstar” of every genre.

    Rest in peace good hip-hop. I miss you dearly!!!!!

    Album sales don’t determine the amount of talent these days as we can see. It determines whether you have the appeal and the right beats with the right hook. I’ve heard other rappers rhyme to the a milli beat and killed it better than Weezy, sorry.

    if you can’t beat em join em! The ppl saying they don’t udnerstand what he’s saying or don’t think he’s that talented, what he’s got to say is just too much info to handle sometimes for some ppl, maybe the type of rap that you can handle is kanye or something, he says everything loud and clear, no hidden meanings, just the words he wants you to take in…

    I happen to like some of what Lil Wayne does. I give him props for originality and decent lyrics when he chooses to. He is among the best rappers active today, but the best? No…..no way.

    Hi There! You look new and unfamilar!

    Well Wayne is the best? At what exactly? Snorting Lines!

    Lets all rewind to Wayne’s first albums, only people in New OH-LEANS (as they say down SOUF-TH) bought that. His style was as good as fashion show put on by homeless folks on the street of NYC, LACKING!!

    Hence Birdman had to travel up North to Philly and get GILLIE Da Kid. And then the CARTER II was born. Wayne would rap and not make no damn sense he sounded like Silk da Shocker, retards trying to communicate without using words like “the, and, is, we, so, I, or, etc” in a sentence.

    Wayne has been giving people who wrote his lyrics, help him develop his style, and gave him the best beats in the game. When you have a booty diving dad like Birdman he could transform you into the next Beyonce or Tyra banks with the right $$$ and connections.

    lol

    Best rapper alive or best rapper who dropped something recently? Best rapper “alive”…..oh hell no (that would be Rakim…changed the game completly). Best rapper with a recent CD I could see (maybe). I think Nas actually holds that title but a lot of that thinking is based on longevity in the game as well as his most recent release. Weezy gets his props though. If you said he was the best out right now, you wouldn’t get too much argument from me.

    There is no way to quantify the best rapper alive. I just say he is the hottest rapper alive. That is undisputed not only by his record sales, but the fact that MTV coined him that, based on certain criteria, a year before his album even came out. If others think someone else is hotter please share.

    I see what you’re saying finesseyoswagger..I definitely feel you…but there are diff types of rappers that rap about different things. like Nas for instance…have you heard his new cd yet??? it is sooo deep it’s sick..and i absolutely love it, but I dont compare nas to wayne, because they’re two diff types of artists, you know?

    LMAO!!!I keep reiterating it…#1 because I can #2 because I am trying to get the point across that you dont have to be under 21 and uneducated to get/understand Lil Wayne…I went from nothing to something…Why does it bother you so much? Some black folks hate to see other black folks become successful, IM FUCKING PROUD OF MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, If I could I would shout it from the mountain top Dont get mad… Get like me…

    only a true ignorant ass would think that Orko is the greatest rapper alive. Nas would slay that ugly little bug just by looking at him. record sales don’t mean SHIT. especially when half the industry uses the “payola” method.

    **HOW THE FUCK TIME MAGAZINE GONNA BE THE JUDGE OF THE BEST RAPPER??**

    That’s like King magazine awarding the best pastor. . .

    i think some people read to much into titles, all rappers label themselves something, ie, the mayor of dade county, king of the south, best rapper alive, and so forth. this young man is fiyah, fuck what you heard or really gotta say, at the end of the day, he doing what he does best and that is rap. just let this man eat til his belly bust, i bet everyone stating he is not this and not that has downloaded, brought, or borrowed and burned a song by this man, and also record sales DO count, come on people are you thinking this morning? it’s the business.
