[QUOTE=kadillak;232580]Very true. Although I'm not a big fan of either one you mentioned, they definitely are some of the greatest to ever do it. I guess a comeback I'd have is that both of those still have a claim to fame. Rakim was known for his complex rhyme schemes like you mentioned, and it sparked a mini-revolution in verse structure that a lot of big name rappers followed, and still follow. Big L was a battle rapper -- arguably the best of that type of rap which doesn't really exist anymore in today's hip hop.

What is Lil Wayne's claim to fame? Tha Carter II was a classic southern album from the production to the flow to some really clever, well structured punchlines that created different pictures and different messages. Tha Carter III was a big step down from that, and his punchlines have become simpler and simpler, and the topics have become more of the same mainstream stuff in just about every song. I mean, he has the radio hits and he puts out songs like no other, but other than that, what is his legacy or claim to fame? Nelly put out a ton of radio hits, too. Eminem and MF DOOM have insane punchlines AND they have more complicated structure. Maybe Rakim and Big L weren't very inspiration with their music, but they had claims to fame in their pocket. I dunno that Wayne really has that luxury.


Yeah, he has lyrical songs. He has the potential to put out an incredibly lyrical album -- I don't doubt that. I've heard just about every Wayne song there is. He was my favorite rapper for a long, long time. It wasn't too long ago that his verse on Nas's "My Generation" was recorded and was released so it's obvious he can still bring it lyrically if he wants to. But the key word is WANT. That's one tough decision so many rappers have to go through. Do I go mainstream or do I stay lyrical? If I go mainstream and put out club bangers about luxury cars and women, I can sell millions. If I stay lyrical, I might be mentioned with Pac, Nas, Biggie, and other legendary rappers as one of the best, most inspiration rappers ever. Kanye mentioned that decision in Jesus Walks...

its funny because biggie smalls all he talked about is luxury cars, how he rapped women , how he killed people ,violent, drugs and he mentioned with the greatest ! imma big fan of biggie btw

Yo this Right Above radio rip is hella sped up

yea... what duz tht mean exactly?

Because on the radio they gotta budget their time for commercials so they speed up the song so they cab get more songs in before they go to break.
