Yea most people compare B.I.G. to Tupac I honestly feel as though Biggie was the better rapper Biggie used to say shit that would just get you hyped up stuff that most people don't think about Tupac was just more poetic which more people liked I think his rap skills are kinda over rated though


People like Wayne and chief keef give hip hop a bad name though
That's why you don't associate them with Hip Hop or rap. Ever.

P.S., rap isn't only about getting hype. RAP=Rhythym and Poetry, Poetic>Hype

good hip hop still exists, it's mainstream crap that people listen to, try some underground rap, you might be surprised.


I created thread with 1 good rap song.... 0 comments. you post lil wayne you get 3 pages.

Hip Hop is far from destroyed, but I'd say that Suge Knight and Death Row Records monopolizing the mainstream hip hop artists in the 90s wasn't exactly helpful.

Oh, and Lil Wayne, Lil B, and Lil Jon. Pretty much any rapper whose name starts with "Lil" destroyed hip hop.

Hip Hop its not just a genre of music. It's a subculture. Everything I learned about Hip Hop was from watching the movie Beat Street. True Hip Hop, well to me anyways, was about originality and trend setting. From Break Dancing to Tagging to MCing. There are some out there but most hip hop artist just do it to make money.

You've gotta be shitting me. Lil wayne destroyed hip hop? Pre-Carter IV Lil wayne was arguably one of the best rappers in the game, but somehow he destroyed the rap game? You just gotta realize, lil wayne has moved on from lyrically deep music, and sick beats to just fun music, bangers, shit that you dance at the club to, he didn't destroy shit.

Never liked the guy, never will end of story. I never liked the message he sent at all back then his career was booming because people were bigger idiots than they are now. I mean seriously how do you go from this

Only artists I listen to are Wale, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole to some extent, and ASAP Rocky. I'm taking a break from hip hop until September when Drake's album releases cause it's in a very sad state right now. J Cole And Wale's albums were good ( haven't heard Jay Z's) but Kanye's Yeezus? Just terrible
So you listen to people like Drake but turn around a blame wayne, i know your not serious with this childish crap. first lets start here rap is hip-hop, hip-hop isn't rap, hip-hop has serveral categories that branches off into other stuff [ look it up cause i'm too tired from work to try and school you on something you should already know], rap it's self has different categories for example : Acid rap, trap rap, conscience rap, etc etc.
So to sit there and to blame lil wayne for something that you caused , yeah i said it you, the fans [ like Trilla has already stated] keep going to his concerts and paying for his crappy albums , cause last time i checked wayne has made some really amazing songs example: I'm go getta, shoot me down, i feel like dying, how to love, dear anne, misunderstood,self destruction, something you forgot etc etc. did anyone pay this songs any attention? no , did they get any air time? no, are they completely underrated songs by wayne? yes.
And if your wondering no i'm not that much into wayne anymore but i do hang wit Dizzy wright, Capital steez, Joey badass, Earl sweatshirt, Hodgy beats, Mac miller, and Asher roth. Look all i'm saying is enough of this damn blame game people enjoy doing for some D.A. reason.

1- Drake and Lil Wayne can't be compared at all the only thing I disliekd was the whole started from the bottom thing but Drake is a waaaaaaay better artist than Lil Wayne,
2- I know hip hop isn't ra[
3- Those songs you listed yea I agree infact those are one of the very very very few songs of his on my itunes if he kept making music like that then yea there would be no problem but you're listing his songs from the past what about all this new crap he's making? "My homies still" Wdf???
4- Aw man I completly forgot about Asher roth I remember when I heard I love college for the first time xD

My thoughts, exactly.

Saying Lil Wayne ruined Hip Hop is utterly ridiculous. As much as haters don't want to admit it, he was on top of the rap game at one point. Tha Carter III sells over a mil in a single week, The Carter IV sells 970k in a single week, while almost all of his other albums have gone gold. He's featured in well over 100 tracks by other artists, he's put out numerous classic mix tapes, and i'm not even going to mention all his nominations. But this guy "ruined hip hop" ? Naw fam.

And Lil Wayne has stated that music isn't his top priority anymore.

Never liked the guy, never will end of story. I never liked the message he sent at all back then his career was booming because people were bigger idiots than they are now. I mean seriously how do you go from this
