Can someone answer a simple question for me?

[Archilles]

Let me start this off by saying I am not trolling. That being said, I cannot see how anyone can say Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive. It is chosen ignorance. I've asked Lil Wayne fans this and they say the same things. It's his money, it's his swag, it's his way to get on every track. That doesn't make you the best rapper, because if it did that would mean Bill Gates, Gene Simmons or any internet rapper doing remixes in his basement could POSSIBLY be the best rapper alive.

These are the qualifiers in what makes a good, overall rapper

1. Flow
2. Lyrics
3. Delivery
4. Multis
5. Quality of beats

There are rappers that are better than Wayne in all of these categories. The question of "Best Rapper Alive" is arbitrary obviously but explain to me WHY you think this.

he has all of those
great in them
listen to 3 Peat
make sure you read the lyrics so you know what he's saying
i probably would go in to more detail, but i'm tired right now - i'm about to go to sleep

someone in here probably will

idk what the non bold word means so i can not say he has that
maybe if you explain i might say he does

There's no chorus on 3Peat?

Every single rapper claims they're the best rapper alive at some point in their lives. No point in asking questions like this.

Really? another one of these? I can literally link you right now to over 5 threads talking about the exact same thing as this one. The search bar exists for a reason.

Most Wayne fans (realistic ones at least) don't believe that he's the best rapper alive right now. There was a period when he was though, and it was because he made songs like this:

Re: Can someone answer a simple question for me?

Just go listen to this mixtape called Da Drought 3. That's when Wayne was the best rapper alive. That's when he had all the shit that you listed above. Just do some fucking research and stop trying to get answers from other people. If Wayne himself claims it and there's a million plus people across the world supporting that then there has to be a pretty good fucking reason as to why people think that he is/was the best rapper alive. Go listen to that mixtape, listen to his many different flows and read the fucking lyrics if you have to. That shit will blow your mind.
