He's different from most rappers, wordplay wise. Plus his style and work-ethnic kills me lol.
I don't smoke anymore, so i never heard his music high. Drunk, yes. But not high.

Work ethic. You have to like someone who works as hard as he does. His music isn't bad either

Re: Why do you like Lil Wayne?

He is like no other. His personality, his image, his flow(s), his lyrics, his voice, his work ethic, his creativity, the way he dares to be different, the way he is confident enough to call himself the best and prove it, the way he gives so much to other artists, the way he got YM up, his business expertees, the fact that he has an organisation to just help kids etc., his genuine love for his fans, his attitude, the way hes misunderstood. Hes just Lil Wayne man, I just love him too much and obviously not in a gay typa way. Hes an icon like Prince and that.

Edit: I love that write up Wolverine posted.
And this was brilliant:

4. The word “narrative” has come up a few times. Narrative comes from narrare, which is O.G. for to tell a story. “Fly, go hard like geese erection” is brilliant. But it’s not a story, and it’s barely a sentence, and the next verse (to my ears) is “fashion patrol, police detection/ Eyes stay tight like Chinese connection.” But maybe that’s not the best part of “Dr. Carter” to bring up if you want to talk about the few and fabulous times Lil Wayne stays on point. As I said last time, this is my favorite rap song on the album, key word being “rap song.” There’s an overarching theme (Wayne is a doctor who operates on rappers), the theme is roughly but not dogmatically adhered to, and Wayne allows himself plenty flights of fancy and dead-end tangent-chasing. That’d be enough for me. But this is why the song is brilliant. As Josh pointed out, Wayne is a terrible doctor. Each verse, he starts out focused, but as he continues the operation, he becomes distracted by his own tangents, as if catching his own reflection in the stainless steel of his scalpels. His first two patients die. Wayne sends up his own vanity, critiques his own style. As in “Phone Home,” he preempts all criticism. He’s a doctor. You can’t read his writing. What’s implicit is that: Sometimes neither can he. Notice that the only patient he saves is Hip-Hop herself. The same thing happens as the first two verses — Wayne loses himself in the tangents — but this time he catches himself and focuses back on the task at hand: “Wait! As I put the light down his throat/ I can only see flow/ His blood starting to flow/ His lungs starting to grow/ This one starting to show/ Strong signs of life/ Where the stitches, here’s the knife/ Smack his face, his eyes open/ I reply with a nice welcome back/ Hip-Hop, I saved your life.”
