Why do people like lil wayne so much?

Why do people like lil wayne so much ewww hes not that good people say hes a good rapper. Hell no tha ni**a doesnt even know what the f*ck he sayin Ok how bout this im me im me baby im me ya not me im you so f*ck you - lil wayne. How the f8ck can you...

be sumebody else if you just said your yourself??? do you see what im sayin? I cant stand him im tired of herein his booshey a**. ooh lil wayne sexy ohhh lil wayne can rap NO HE CANT!!! ok he make good beats but thats it! big deal so does shawty lo. He can rap AND MAKES SENSE!!! and his beats are extra RAW!

Okay, honestly... who cares.
If you hate him so much why would you post something about him? Lame.

lil wayne CAN RAP...he's tight as hell...have you heard his song BRAND NEW??? if you really listen to what he's sayin it'll make perfect sense to you...for example here's something that he says in that song Brand new coupe, drivin' crazy then them other's
Sittin' low in the seats with the burner sittin' under
Got my tank top on, it
probably ain't summer
But I ride like that because I'm hotter than the others...I mean that one line rite there is VISCIOUS...lil wayne is with the bizness

well lets see maybe it doesn't make any sense because YOU don't know what the fck he sayin. It goes like this I'm Me! I'm Me! I'm Me! I'm Me! Baby, I'm Me! So, Who You?! You Not Me! You Not Me! And I Know that Ain't Fair... I agree with them, why post something about him if you don't like him? you sure be thinkin about him HUH. Anywaysz he ugly but that don't mean ish, his flow is siq he spits metaphores like crazy. read his lyrics without the song and break it down, maybe you'll understand him better

lil' wayne...honestly is the TRUTH!!! he can rap, to me. but everybody entitled to their own opinion

You see the four answers you just got? Some even gave examples of his rap. You read those lyrics and they are CRAP. It's people like this. Ignorant. They think that because he says he's good then he's good. You'll notice that he is the biggest headed rapper out there. I'm not a Lil Wayne hater. I would be completely happy if he was the richest person in the world as long as he quit rapping. His music is crap, his lyrics are crap. The only thing he has is a good beat. People like him because he says he's the best. He has good beats and a rich stepdad to promote him. His stepdad paid for him to be in TONS of songs so people started liking him. He's pathetic as a human and a rapper. I realize people with an IQ under 100 are going to probably comment back and try to act bad and stuff. But it's the truth. He sucks and if it wasn't for his stepdad he wouldn't be famous at all. He had a ghostwriter for his first album, not saying he still does because I'm not sure. But the first Carter album weren't even his lyrics, I realize again, dumb people will argue with this but it's a fact.

yu got the lyrics wrong if yur going to make a point at least make sure its right first.

lil wayne sucks! Every musician at my school or whoever I bump into says he sucks every Rapper/ singer/ everything else that deals with music of today says he sucks.

If what your is saying is Lil Wayne can rap because he can say sh*t like: Brand new coupe, drivin' crazy then them other's
Sittin' low in the seats with the burner sittin' under
Got my tank top on, it
probably ain't summer
But I ride like that because I'm hotter than the others. I guess you are entitled to think that, what I think people are saying is that it's not that difficult to come up with lines like that..there are way better MC's out there than this guy. For example check this line by Talib Kweli: Places where you get murdered over a glare, but everything is fair. It's a paradox we call reality, so keeping it really will make you a casualty of abnormal normality, killers born naturally like Mickey and Mallory, not knowing your way will get you capped like an NBA salary. ...

Lil wayne is gay. Listen to wu-tang, nas, and mf doom, they all way better.

I agree to the fullest extent. I like rap... just not lil wayne, I think he is overplayed and really has no reason to be liked, he rhymes the same words over and over again and cries in his music. along with that, like you said he doesn't make sense. I'm not saying I absoultly hate him, but he sure as hell isn't the best rapper alive.

Listen to some Wu-Tang clan, and especially listen to the song Da mystery of Chessboxxin- Masta Killa's verse (last one). That verse is by far one of illest I've ever heard. Then when you're done listening, listen to Lil wayne and ask yourself why you listen to him? Now that's not a rhetorical question, meaning you like like Lil Wayne for other reasons; his style per say. So all and all, listen to other MC's and see if what you find in Lil Wayne is abolished when you listen to other rappers.

some people just hate hate hate, I see they mention other rappers to compare to wayne. but my question to them is where are and where were these rappers when the wayne single handedly took over the game. people say he wouldnt be successful without birdman. lol. are you serious. cash money wouldnt be alive without wayne. prime example of that would be to name the last successful album that wasnt lil wayne's from cash money. and I see some people need to do their homework before they look stupid as some of you look. artist dont pay to get on a track, artist get paid to be on a track so whoever said birdman paid for wayne to be on everybody song, please kill yourself. and umm truthspeaker have you noticed that lil wayne has gotten better since any of the so called ghost writers he had. whats funny to me is gilly da kid tried to take credit for waynes work. so cash money released gilly. and now three years later wayne is more successful than any artist. how do you explain that. just something to think about. hate on haters

Straight up, if you think Lil Wayne has any talent then you need to be educated on what rap is. I'm a fu*king white @ss b*tch from the OC and I can tell you that his stuff is weak. Don't believe me? Try referencing rappers who have something intelligent to say and you'll understand where I'm coming from. My 8 year old nephew has more smarts than that dumbass.

he used to be able to rap but now he sucks balls he a wannabe rockstar and that made him loose his rap abilities. his music is crap now. I believe the game is the best rapper right now.

Um Eminem is the best rapper, best seller in the world. In history...You get the message? Am I gettin' through to you? You know what's comin', you motherf***ers dont even know, do you? Take some big and some Pac and you mix em' up in a pot sprinkle a little big L on top, what the f*** do you got? You got the realest and illest killas tied up in a knot, The juggernauts of this Rap sh*t, like it or not. It's like a fight to the top just to see who'd die for the for the spot. You put ya life in this, nothin' like survivin' a shot Y'all know what time it is, soon as fifty signs on this dot.

being the best rapper does not mean you sell more records, look hot, have lyrics that address important or smart issues.
Rap is about flow, rhythm, lyrics that sound good together and make sense together and are clever, having an interesting voice that you know how to use, and doing something new, having your own style.

Lil Wayne's skills in each of those categories are of the best.

I'm not saying he is the best, but along with Biggie, Tupac, Wu-Tang, MF Doom, and some others, he belongs on the list.

Some one please tell me if I said something wrong. And tell me what makes him a bad rapper.

lil wayne is just another hood dude with a lot of money come on now.who wouldnt like him when I c or look at him im looking at the money while his looking at want to f**k me.

nice debate going on here...wait..its not a debate, more like arguing (theres a difference) arguing has no point in this case. the reason why people like lil wayne is because he is commercialized, hes on the radio ,people reveal bout him and truth is he is overhyped, to me dude aint sucessfuljust because he is a millionaire. from where im at success is bout respect and keepin it real.all wayne talks bout is money and materialism and nonsensical stuff. rap is what you do and hip hop is what you live-krs one and with that said wayne aint doing both!(face it,I know kids who will murder him on his own track) he just a cat getting paper living ignorant and your better off listening to nas and the real dudes.

LIL WAYNE CAN RAP you just don't understand stand it...but I agree that hes s0o fucken ugly
