(2) Dustin says:

How is Lil Wayne overrated? Are you retarded? Listen to his mix tapes. Any one with a brain knows he’s one of the best rappers currently.

February 24, 2007 at 2:00 am
(3) chris says:

Lil Wayne is trash. He has tight beats in his songs, but has garbage lyrics and has no rhythm to speak of. Jeezy, however, consistantly comes out with good songs, and is a respectable rapper.

(4) Maxx says:

Man y’all tripping! Weezy might be the best rapper out right now, besides Jay Z. You gotta peep his metaphors. And on top of that his delivery is tight. Speaking of delivery, Jeezy’s is hot too. That’s gonna be one hell-of-a tour. I can’t wait til they come through Kansas City.

HE HAS BLESSED US FOR MANY YEARS WITH THAT GET RICH QUICK ATTITUDE WITH HIS SOUTHERN TWANG. HE IS DEFINATELY A DIME PEICE….AS FOR JEZZY, YEAH HE HAS CONTRIBUTED 2 THE GAME RECENTLY WITH SOME STREET ANTHEMS, BUT LIL WANYE IS HAS GOT IT MADE…

(8) city buck says:

lil wayne is the best rapper out right now period his flow delivery is sick i mean whoever think other wise is just hatin far as his lyrics he’s that bull and lil wayne is deafly way better than jeezy

March 1, 2007 at 11:25 pm
(9) doDie says:

first off young jeezy is good. second, lil wayne is that dank. i dont care what n e one has to say. lil wayne is THE GREATEST RPPER ALIVE. weezy blows jay out of the water. dont get it wrong, jay is hot, but wayne is way sicker than anyone in he game right now. period. he has more mixtapes, more albums, and he is the most wanted feature artist of the year. if you dont agree, to damn bad. end of story!!

March 5, 2007 at 4:16 pm
(10) BrandiShae says:

Does anyone know when these tickets go on sale for the Little Rock show on April 5? They are not available on Ticketmaster and it doesn’t mention anything about it.

(11) macthaknife says:

Wayne is overated. After the Hot Boys, nobody really paid much attention to him til “Go DJ” and the Dedication 2 mixtapes. He is one of the hottest out now, but not the greatest. There are abuncha MCs who can rap cirles around him, but aren’t as recognized like Jadakiss, Papoose, Saigon, and some others. What has he said that was deep? What punchlines and metaphors has he spit to where he makes you think? the only thing that he has really contributed is the bling era, but he’s no philosopher or philanthropist. He’s just a rapper, yet people treat him like he’s better than Tupac and greater than Jesus.

March 12, 2007 at 11:54 pm
(12) kenny says:

true, he isn’t the deepest rapper but he’s consistently the most entertaining, and that counts for a lot in hip-hop. and in all fairness, if you’re waiting for another ‘pac, get ready to wait a long time.

March 16, 2007 at 6:03 pm
(13) Bre says:

On my life Lil Wayne is the best rapper ever now jeezy go hard too, but he aint better than Wayne!! and Jay Z wack ass hell so what do you mean?!! but if i had to choose Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive and i dont care what Yall say!!!

March 17, 2007 at 4:47 pm
(14) Cory Mckay says:

wow hip-hop really does suck right now..got dumb niggas saying lil wayne is the best rapper currently? lmfao….god i miss the 90’s…close minded niggas control the industry these days…hiphop is doomed

March 22, 2007 at 8:05 pm
(15) Angel says:

Lil Wayne isnt just the best rapper right now he been the best rapper since day one. Everybody is just now listening to him and realizing that. Anyways Young Jeezy go hard too but not has hard as Weezy and everybody knows that and Jay-Z is okay too but again he isnt better than Wayne. No one is!

March 28, 2007 at 2:49 pm
(16) princess says:

(29) DJ GERT says:

Your time is key and rigth now they holding on,and why in this music it’s tha samething who is tha best,In sells/onstage
in giving back to the community as a whole.Some of us need to watch rhyme&reason and listen to tha soundtrack,and see 10years later tha same beef/drama and how the norm of this music is base on “being out for self” went in fact 21% of hiphop music sales have dropped and it is easy for a artist to lose there spondership.
Or take a slow look at R.Simmions move on wanting to bann gangster rap all together.This is a 14billiondollar biz and only a few can ride out this storm.

(76) Patrick says:

This is what’s wrong with society, everyone idolizes these ignorant and generic artist, Lil Wayne is played out and says the same thing in every song. I love how he rhymes a word with the exact same word. That’s true skill. I’m just glad that meaningful artists and Poets aren’t around much anymore to watch this butchery. Atleast T.I. gives some possitive insite and has some intellectual standing. But I guess it goes to show when the fans of Lil Wayne don’t even know how to use the English language properly.

all i gotta say is yall obviously haven’t listened to lupe fiasco cuz he’s got a better flow than any rapper that anyone can name and he is the most clever out of any musician period. he refuses to go mainstream and play to the media so you don’t hear about him as much but i guarantee you he is better than lil wayne, jeezy, jay-z, whoever. not tryina talk bad bout any of them cuz i love jay-z and lil waynes older stuff is sick and jeezy can be alright but nobody is on lupe’s level period
