~Sauron~:

Don't get it twisted. . . . . He changes those timbs but he is stuck on his favourite colour.
How can a multi-platinum rapper wear the same timbs everyday??
Funkybaby. . . . .You are harsh o!!!

He is o. . . . . .He has over 40 threads on this Music section too.
Blimey. . . . .99% of Nairaland hip hop listeners idolise him.
A member of this forum had his name tattooed on his forehead(top class followership at it's best).

Just let Modenine fans catch you on this thread.

Kai,

I no send him and his fans

Have you listened to mode 9's 'Nigerian girls' song
Do you know he disrespected girls from different tribes with that song?
Listen to what he said about ijebu girls, kogi girls and girls from the east

My female friends and I are waiting eagerly for the perfect opportunity to lynch him
We thought he was going to perform at the last thisday's music concert
Too bad, the only shows he gets are glo's 'rock and rule' concerts held in naija unis
Abajo, the same tims and baseball cap all the time
He should go take lessons from saucekid and ruggedman

O ma run down last ni !!!

His mates are tattooing(permanent tatoos) their babymama's face on their arms .eg. Saucekid  
And he is busy dissing women
Am sure if I scrutinize Weezy's tattoo infested body, I will see sonething that symbolizes respect/love to women
Someone needs to 'rebrand' mode 9. Walahi  .

tosinaded@:

sauron i go fight u o!!! why u go bolden only ruggedman

Funkybaby is patching on ma frequency. She's speaking the TRUTH!!!!

debosky:

multi-platinum ko, multi-pangolo ni. 

What is Rap? Is it being 'hardcore' or doing something 'your people can feel' like Ruggedman said?

Lil Wayne is doing things differently - this isn't 1996, it isn't 98 either. If that is what is popular/liked today, then so be it.

After all, some people listen only to 70's music, thinking everything else is garbage. Y'all are stuck in the past.

I personally don't like the dude, but he must be doing something right!

i dey wonder ooo for naija - how dem take calculate am?

back to topic

its his time

the big question is how long will his shelf life be?

tho to be honest with three albums, he seems to have longevity

That crackhead didnt deserve any of them, then again the Grammys have decreased in standards over the years.

It was a Kanye year, not Lil Wayne or any of those retards

So the Grammy awarding body must have crappy standards too?

Of course.

my kind of chick . . .I've loved kanye since i saw thru the wire - still luuv that song - a rapper who us regular middle class guys can identify with - and gives us great songs like champion and homecoming and the source of my first NL byline from 'bring me down'

It's funny how these wack niggas need my help
Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Dog, If I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
Dog, If I was you, I'd kill myself
Made a mill myself, and I'm still myself
And I'ma look in the mirror if I need some help!

He's sincerely fresh air to hip/hop. He's fine with not being "overly hard" with his music and I love that. Other than him and some Jay Z tracks, when it comes to hiphop I rather just listen to the older stuff from the 90s like Tribe Called Quest, etc

All the new crap is well, Crap.

@Wizzy Haters

Y'all should just shut the Bleep up! Lil wayne is the in thing now.Stop hating.On radio you hear him,on tv his in ya tube and your favorite artist(s) are featuring him.
Now y'all think Grammy lost thier senses? Please close this thread and go buy his cds period.

lil wayne belongs to souljahg boys class , he is part of the killers of hiphop but i think his metaphors and beats made him get away wit it, mi and lil wayne are on the same level .nothing special bout wayne, na just packaging.,

~Sauron~:

He is. . . . .Weezy is lyrically inept to be winning the grammy awards.
Where would you put this guy in 1996?? He won't even get radio airplays.

Rap needed something new?? I give up!!!
How can u say rap needed Lil Wayne?? Twats needed him not RAP.

Platinum means shyte. . . . .Speakerboxxx(Outkast's album) was certified diamond recently.
Can u work that out in your head??

First class garbage.
2Pac/Biggie will be weeping in their graves. The knowledge they left for upcoming rappers have been thrown into the abyss.

Jackal, I beg of you, please don't get lost in transition!!!
You say Kanye's weak and now Weezy' crap, c'mon!!!

How can you say hiphop didn't need Lil Wayne??
When last did a hiphop album hit plat?? When last was a hiphop song a real contender for a Grammy??
This dude and Kanye West are thefore-runners of the future of hihop, not Nas, or Fiddy

The hiphop listeners are bored with grumpy ol' Nas and Fiddy's nineteen bullets
The way you say you'll never listen to this, there's a set of people that'll only listen to the 'Golden Age'(Late 80s and Early 90s)
Smart dudes like Jay-Z keep blending with the trend, that's why he 'stays forever like culture'

For goodness' sake, all rappers can't have the same mode of delivery, Weezy's different, and you should be okay with that
I'm okay with anyone that gives hiphop five Grammys.
If everyone's a Talib Kweli, who'll sell?? Erm do you think Pac woulda been selling plats in this era?? I cannot fit to laugh

And technically, Speakerboxx/Love Down Below only sold 5.5million.
It only made diamond because each sale was counted as two.

That shows the state of the industry. . . . .
Things have gone tits up for the only genre of music i love.
I am considering metal Rock now ori could just stick strictly to 1993-2003 era of hip-hop.

Lil Wayne ma ass. . . . . .He is so crappy i would rather let a tabbycat mew in ma ears.
Hip-hop albums don't hit platz again because of the internet. . . . .People get songs from every MP3 sites you can think of these days.
Only die hard fans put their money into the coffers of their favourite rappers. . . .Nothing else.

No wonder Kingdom Come failed commercially. . . . .Jay-Z should retire.
He doesn't addd any value to the industry apart from featuring on Beyonce's videos and wowing R-n-B fans.
Nas and Fiddy still make sense with their music, Lil Wayne is a sorry excuse of a rapper(IMO).

For goodness' sake, all rappers can't have the same mode of delivery, Weezy's different, and you should be okay with that
I'm okay with anyone that gives hiphop five Grammys.
If everyone's a Talib Kweli, who'll sell?? Erm do you think Pac woulda been selling plats in this era?? I cannot fit to laugh

So it's all about grammy awards to you(not the message that comes with the album)??. . . .Kudos to you and the demise of good piece.
When Lauryn Hill won 5 grammys in 1998, the whole world applauded her cos her album was laced with brilliance and hues of shine.
If Lil Wayne wins 40 grammys, he wouldn't get ma respect and i am not the only one who feels this way.

And technically, Speakerboxx/Love Down Below only sold 5.5million.
It only made diamond because each sale was counted as two.

People paid double to get the double album so it still sold 11 million.
One CD=£9.99, Double CD=£19.99, seen??
It still amounted to what 11 million woulda sold in gross sales, Eldee.

a helluva opinion on lil wayne
to me weezy is sometimes exceptionally wack on some songs, and at times exceptional good on others . the only 2 songs i like weezy for is 'duffle bag boy' and 'misunderstood'. the others are wack including his verse on a millie, but the amillie beat made him get away with it cuzz it has a south side crunk snare on it, weezy rap skills is very very ordinary. maybe its becuz of his flow style. mi does it better than weezy

@ibime and sauron
list like 4 weezy songs that is worth listening too lyrically,
i downloaded all his mixtapes and albums and i was very dissapointed.
maybe u guys can recommend some weezy songs i prolly neva heard b4.

Yes, please list four songs.
The only song of his that I can listen to from start till the end without skipping to some other song by another artist is lollipop. Reason is Static Major. The remix featuring Kanye is a bit okay as well.

Did someone say Kanye
I still insist that Papertrail deserved best rap album.

I recommend Mr Carter ft Jay-Z

one out of 4?

eldee you no try at all

add. . . . .Dr carter. . . . . to the list . . . . .Thats creativity for YA!!

pray to the lord

,sighs,

personally d rap industry these days mirrors d heavyweight boxing division in recent times.there are heavyweight champions but all experts realise d quality of boxers and fights is nowhere compared to where it should be or has been in d past. same thing with rap industry, wayne is certainly d hottest guy out there and probably d best when sensibly considered, but d standard of music and d ability of its artists in d rap industry in recent times is not where it should be or has been in the past. lil wayne is d best of what is out there hate it or love it. IMHO

I quite agree with this. . . .

It seems most of them are now concerned about the commercial aspect of things rather than the art itself.
Laziness has also crept in and most of them just lost total interest with the internet ruining things for them.
Most people now go to LIMEWIRE and other free MP3 download sites instead of going to the stores to cop albums.
It's a massive decline to what we used to have in the late 90s.

Yup, Lil' Wayne is definitely irritating. He's not totally wack, he has some good stuff but 5 grammies?? He sure doesn't deserve them.

The whole auto-tune thingy made me lose interest, like seriously, since when do you need that to rap? 

'Mr. Carter' is good(although I liked it mostly because of Jay-z but Lil' wayne tried), I even like 'leather so soft' but the main song that jump-started

his career was 'Fire man', That was when I liked his music, now he's just boring.

The only reason 'A milli' was appreciated was because of Cory Gunz, he spat most of the good stuff. I wonder why he wasn't in the

video. somebody was tryna take all the glory.

U mean the same 'A Milli' where he dissed the "Nigerian Hair"??
If he is going to write metaphors about how tough hair can be, why didn't he use his unkempt dreadlocks.
Lil Wayne is a Arrow.

Nas has said it, HIP HOP IS DEAD !!!

Hiphop is Dead has nuffin to do with this. At least we all know Weezy doesn't sound like any other person. Infact he's not like Young Jeezy that compares getting a black president to having blue rims.

@Karmamod
I'm not a Lil Wayne fan
I'm a hiphop fan that adores any rapper that sells double platinum in an era where hitting gold has become an impossible task for most rappers.

@Sauron
He CarterIII were to be a double album, it'll be on 4 mil rite now

Which Jay-Z are u talking about?
Do u mean the one that said 'I do this in my sleep, I sell kilos of coke, I'm guessing I can sell CDs' or the one that goes 'I wish for u a century of success but now's my time'

C'mon Jay-Z's class is the bridge between the part and the future of hiphop.
You know we're going to have to do the i-tunes vigil on the Blueprint3 release day rite?

l i l wayne winning the award spells 2 things:


hiphop is becoming more popular. he refined it . thanks to him.


but the bitter truth is that HE IS CRAP by realhiphop standards. his lyrics are not worth hanging on! . guys like him are killing hiphop.

i dont know how far this is true, he is a gay(?) and its a shame hiphop forgave him for the french kiss he gave bird man. this hiphop not rock music.

now i am convinced the future is bright,that people stil know the diff btw good music and noise.thot we ve lost it when kanye is clouded by grammies judgement (neo-colonial)was running his mouth here and there.with ppl like sauron-using her as a point of contact to other nairaland intellects d music/radio forum wil continue to make sense regardles of the few bad heads.@ tosin was disappointed cos i always looked out for what u gat to say but hey one wrong in a million rights is not bad at all.@ eldee the real eldee da don would have been dissappointed.at first u were supporting him sayin he is the best thing that happened to hip hop later u said u re not his fan.haba! lastly all insults are directed at khanye and nobody else.think they shld create a special forum for him-music for idiots.

I love him anyday anytime.
