tha mobb/shooter/tie my hands were decent
3 peat didnt really like
...guessing III is where its at? |
qwe3
01.24.11 | yeah but if i were going to start i'd listen to c1 or c2 first, then the two mixtapes dedication 2 and da drought 3 which are prob two of the best mixtapes ever made, then c3
what's cool about tha mobb is it's 5 mins of pure freestyle and it still has this amazing flow to it |
liledman
01.24.11 | alright ill give them a shot, cheers man. |
cirq
01.24.11 | qwe: who is my favorite rapper? and lil wayne is garbo cuz all he does is punchlines... tho some are clever, im sorry but ive heard money rhymed with funny and models rhymed with bottles way too many damn times. there is no substance in his raps, period.
also, tell me why hes good. |
cirq
01.24.11 | i enjoyed dedication 2, but thats really about it.. |
MUNGOLOID
01.24.11 | i'll be the first to say it, never heard a single thing by big l. |

or wrong thread |
MUNGOLOID
01.24.11 | yah wrong thread. |
cirq
01.24.11 | lol i was confused for a second.. listen to any big l freestyle and be amazed. |
MUNGOLOID
01.24.11 | okay just heard one. gotta listen to 1 now! |
cirq
01.24.11 | you definitely do.. its without a doubt a 5 |
qwe3
01.24.11 | well 1 im pretty sure ive seen you say heaps of times that 2pac is and he's always been painfully average
and 2 lil wayne is not all punchlines
so yeah
if you had said he was no substance during maybe the time before c2 or even c3 i might have been able to see your point but the reality is that the dude can rap.
he has an incredible mind for off the wall similes, metaphors and free-assosciations which means so many of his raps are colourful and interesting listens.
c2 is an impressive array of material. firstly you've got Tha Mobb which is 5 mins of brilliant, improvised braggadocio and the way the tracks are laid out on it, esp with tracks like fly in, carter II, fly out and the little skits (which are small enough that they don't disrupt the flow of the LP) give the record this sense of grandeur. in c2 he tackles things like regionalism in mainstream rap at a time when people looked down upon southern rap. he talks about love. he even (appropriately) talks about people misunderstanding him as a person or rapper. and yeah, he talks about himself a lot. he does it in such interesting ways though, for one example, metaphors he uses often pertain to certain parts of his upbringing. and they work. well. point is saying he didn't have depth, even before c3 just, to me, reeks of the uninformed.
the dude has probably got the best flow around. His ability to ride a beat and switch it up is addictive. Sometimes he'll just resort to saying staccato bursts of words like there are periods in between each of them, then the next he'll be rapping in a completely different way. he has an incredible literacy to him, and this is only enhanced by a huge general knowledge.
after c2 he released a slew of mixtapes completely for free. two of them have been hailed as two of the best mixtapes ever made. I see 50 cent complaining about lil wayne using mixtapes and saying shit like "that nigga is using what i invented" which is kinda redundant since dedication 2 surpasses anything 50 has ever done.
then c3 happened. all at once he expanded his subject matter to include katrina, origin of self, a concept track about being a doctor healing hip hop (which is unfortunate because 2 patients are beyond saving), the extraterrestrial (as a way of describing the way he raps) etc.
yeah idk i might write a review so its actually a together argument |
MUNGOLOID
01.24.11 | do it qwe. |
cirq
01.24.11 | in my book, c2 was alright. dedication 2 was a great mixtape and not gonna lie, da drought 3 was on constant rotation during that summer it came out.. i dont think his methaphors are all that clever and his writing/rapping style is lame.. honestly.. and i dont know why you put the whole thing about mixtapes and 50 cent cuz wiz khalifa is doing the same thing but that niggas garbo, too. and as for having the best flow around.. no, just no. theres a lil white boy from detroit that would pick mr carter to pieces. let alone dudes like andre3000 and mos def
write that review, tho.. im interested in reading it. |
qwe3
01.24.11 | mos def has not got the flow of lil wayne. hes not even lyrically as good.
neither does andre. and note that andre doesn't touch lil wayne in the solo arena.
wiz khalifa rules.
also eminems flow is garbage now which is a shame
|
crowing51
01.24.11 | I have not listened to any of his mixtapes except the drought which was alright. I honestly don't see what qwe3 sees. He is a crappy lyricist minus the good 3 to 4 songs on his albums that have some good lyrical substance to them. I don't know about all his mixtapes I hear they are much better than his albums though.
I would love for you to write a review for all of his album qwe3. Mainly the carter 2 - 3 and Rebirth since in are areguments you seem to back those up pretty hard. |

i respect that they talk about what they talk about, but it gets old as well. its fairly hypocritical to say that "cars, money and bling" is repetitive and political rap isn't. besides, i prefer battle rap lyrics over the other two |
crowing51
01.24.11 | I'm not saying it's not repetitive I am saying how can you say cars money and bling is better? I mean
it has much better lyrical substance and about all that rappers that rap about cars,money and bling
are pretty much the same raps just a little different. Immortal did battle rap also. |

01.24.11 | i like cars and money because its fun to listen to. not all music has to be dead serious you know. also, im talking apathy, AOTP type battle rap |

01.24.11 | Wiz Khalifa is boring
Lil B is the best on this list. Well obviously not, but he doesn't take his shit seriously and neither do I
Lil Wayne is talented, but he often fails at making actual songs, which is why his mixtapes are always awesome and his albums are (almost) always underwhelming.

crowing again you display a mentality that really heavily suggests that you have no idea what you're detracting from. |
qwe3
01.24.11 | and i never said andre 3k is lyrically inferior to wayne, i said wayne had better flow than him. lyrically andre is superior.
|
qwe3
01.24.11 | crowing you come across as a 14 year old kid who has just discovered conscious rap and thinks it's the best thing ever because it talks about DEEP things and REAL things and can't wait to show everyone what hes found and it's just pathetic to the point of being painful watching you generalize music you obviously have no idea about and big up rap that is good but no where near as pedestal worthy as you seem to think it is.
like this paragraph here:
"I'm not saying it's not repetitive I am saying how can you say cars money and bling is better? I mean it has much better lyrical substance and about all that rappers that rap about cars,money and bling are pretty much the same raps just a little different. Immortal did battle rap also."
this just makes me jean-luc so hard.
mos def has made two fantastic albums: the ecstatic and BoBS. everything else he's done has been crap
lil wayne has made two fantastic albums, one great one and two of the best mixtapes ever. look around you: critics don't hate lil wayne. hip hop magazines and blogs don't either. in fact C3 got basically universal critical acclaim. at a time where mainstream rap was at a standstill he reinvigorated it with large sales that were thitherto regarded as a thing of the past. I don't think that means anything at all, but it seems to be the kind of thing that would be regarded by you as meaningful. There aren't many people who are seriously into hip hop who completely write Wayne off, and certainly not C3.

Inveigh
01.24.11 | anyone ripping on those weezy mixtapes qwe's talking about is either an idiot or hasn't heard them. they're seriously nasty
although because of lil wayne rapping mostly about himself and things he likes/has/does well, he appeals to a certain group of people, i.e. if you don't care about what he's talking about and you either don't like his flow & voice or just don't know what to listen for, you're not going to like him.
there are rappers I like who talk primarily about the same subject matter (Mac Lethal for instance) who some people love, and some people just don't dig.
but lil wayne's definitely talented |
qwe3
01.24.11 | yeah i can understand not liking him but saying he isn't talented is just retarded.
and yeah weezys list of subject matter on the surface looks pretty barren but it really isn't
also crowing called rebirth and c3 the same album, but just rebirth was a worse version of it.
cant blame me for calling him a moron. |
Inveigh
01.24.11 | I generally think crowing's pretty good stuff, and tbh I had to start skimming that debate at some point because tl;dr
but yeah weezy's got skills for sure |
crowing51
01.24.11 | Qwe3 you still don't understand. I never said wayne was not talented, he makes a few good song it's just most of the shit he makes...is shit. Now I am only talking about his albums, again I have not heard any of his mixtapes except the drought. The fact you apparently think that I somehow am in the wrong because I listen to ''Deep'' and 'Real'' and making it pedestal worthy so I must be 14 music and you make fun about just shows your lack of intellect about that music in general. I actually don't need to show everybody anyway because it's obvious Mos def and andre3000 are better than wayne.
''mos def has not got the flow of lil wayne. hes not even lyrically as good.
neither does andre.''
Yes you DID say that Wayne's was better than both of them flow wise and lyric wise. Now what are his best mixtapes because I will give them a listen just for you and because I see according to this list that they are his best work. |
qwe3
01.25.11 | i said neither DOES andre. not neither IS andre.
i can see how that could be misleading to someone who doesn't understand words though.
and your whole first para basically illustrates how i've been describing you so cool. I've listened to a lot more rap than you. let's just put that out there. that doesnt mean anything about the rightness or opinion but it basically debunks the whole "lack of intellect about that music in general" point you made, however badly you worded it. you have this elitist edge to your opinion on hip hop. omg he doesnt talk about politics or social issues he talks about money and girls and cars in a lot of his songs HE MUST SUCK
can't be bothered talking to someone whos so deplorably ignorant anymore. |
crowing51
01.25.11 | ''can't be bothered talking to someone whos so deplorably ignorant anymore.''
Yet you rather listen to most of the ignorant things that Lil wayne raps about? Yes that makes perfect sense.
and again you still don't seem to fully understand my whole arguments but thats fine. We will just have to deal with the fact that you think lil Wayne is amazing AND better than Mos Def so I suppose any arguments that I have I will make sure it is not about Lil Wayne because you are clearly as stuck on your opinion as a brokencyde fan.
Oh and if you already have a sentence saying that lil Wayne has better flow and not as lyrically as than someone and then adding on another artist to that same sentence is pretty much saying the same thing about both of them. Its not my misunderstanding of words it's your shitty way of using them to explain yourself. I am also pretty sure I was not the only person that thought that either.
''I've listened to a lot more rap than you. let's just put that out there.''
If you like to think that good for you. |

what is ignorant about his subject matter? you can't really rap about a subject that is ignorant unless youre rapping about something like idk intelligent design or world-is-flat theories but no one raps about that do they
oh and nice one comparing me to a brokencyde fan nothing like an unfavourable comparison to seal your argument gj dude
