I completely agree with this. Wayne was the best rapper alive from around 05-08. He sold over a million copies the first week with C3, and almost did it again with C4. In a generation of illegal downloading, that is quite incredible. I do believe C3 was his last good piece of music he put out, but i won't go as far as saying he is absolutely terrible. But from a former "Wayne head", the content he used to put out and what he does now, simply doesn't compare. Not to mention, the stuff he wears and how he promotes himself. He just gives people a reason to hate him.
But anyways, i will continue listening to his old sh*t, like C2 & C3, Da Drought, Old Dedications, No Ceilings, etc, back when he WAS the best rapper alive.

Lil wayne didn't fall off wth, he was never even on to begin with. He was shit back then, and he's even shittier now. I think the only tolerable song he's ever made was "Hustler Musik". As far as being the best rapper alive goes, don't make me laugh, even Ne-Yo is better than Lil Wayne.

Hip Hop is dead....rap is dying.
Their are only very few conscious, lyrical rappers left now. Their music won't be heard the way it's meant to be heard.
CNN? They do operate on a global scale but what do you call their operation? Propaganda young minded one....
Nas
Tech n9ne
Lupe Fiasco
Eminem
Hopsin
Lowkey
This list is pathetic because I should be able to name over 20 conscious lyrical rappers in today's game...but that list is far from ever being complete.

I'll be sad when rap dies. When rappers like Lil' Wayne stop using the N word a bunch of times, and rap about something meaningful again then rap will be revived. I remember when Eminem was in his prime. Those were the days. Even though I would know nothing about Tupac and rapping back then, but I know that it's 100% better than it is these days...
Lil Wayne is a version lyricist that, went from a rapper to a crossover star. He left the confines of hip hop and crossovered into a new demographic, which is why he blew up eventhough in the hip hop world he was already near the top. But best rapper alive still goes to Jay-Z, not even close.

At his peak I would say he was the best you still have jay nas em still making music. If you meant hottest then yes at that time he was the most looked for rapper.
