Why Lil Wayne Is One Of The Worst Rappers Ever

I don't mean to offend anyone, i'm just calling it how I see it. I don't care if you are a fan of Lil Wayne or if you listen to him, but to say that he is the "best rapper of all time" or to even say that he is any good at all is preposterous. Again, I don't care if you are a fan, but he simply does not have any skill or talent, here is why.

1. Lil Wayne cannot stay on any topic at all. His raps are filled with pointless metaphors, he literally jumps from one metaphor to another, without staying on one topic at all. His metaphors are generally sub-par anyway, they are hit and miss. Sometimes he will have some average metaphors, but most of the time they are so bad it is embarrassing. i.e "i'm hot like dogs" Although I personally am not a fan of metaphors in rap music, I find the occasional metaphor to be tolerable. However I cannot stand an artist like Lil Wayne, who is entirely dependent on metaphors, puns, similies and punchlines. Lil Wayne has never met a bad pun that he did not like.

2. He is completely stuck on the big four: hoes, cars, money, drugs. I almost forgot, he also really likes to remind everyone how he is the best.

3. Most of his lines are either regurgitated from his earlier work, or from some other rapper. I cannot count how many times I have heard the same line with a slight variation on a Lil Wayne song. Not just that, but really Lil Wayne, how many things does "F" stand for in your name? If you have to keep using the same lines, and have to steal lines from other rappers, then you don't have any inherent talent of your own.

4. He kissed Birdman (haha this is a joke, I have absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuality)

5. Most Lil Wayne fans I talk to end up confessing that his beats the best part. Beats are made by producers, not Lil Wayne.

6. He cannot freestyle at all. This one is funny, because people tell me all the time "Lil Wayne can freestyle, look up the videos on YouTube!" I have seen the videos on YouTube, and when I see Lil Wayne freestyle, here is what I see: A radio host tells Lil Wayne to come on the air, he writes a "freestyle" and then raps his "freestyle." (Most of these freestyles use the same lyrics as his songs also) How do I know this, you may ask? Watch this video of Lil Wayne being surprised with a request to freestyle. When he does not have a chance to prepare, he chokes hard.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsyEjQ8a8XI

7. Lil Wayne most likely has ghost writers. I'm not trying to say he definitely does, but when you rap for long enough, you develop some freestyle skills, and as demonstrated in the video above, Lil Wayne does not. His ghostwriters are most likely Ghillie Da Kid or Drake.

There are far more reasons, but I feel this will suffice. If you are still not convinced Lil Wayne is not talented, and you want more proof, comment and let me know, I will write another article.

If Lil Wayne is the best at anything, he is the best at not making sense, rapping about the same stuff, using the same lines, and not having any change in style for the better. Again, I do not care if you like Lil Wayne, but don't ever tell me he is a good rapper, it just is not true.
