Lil Wayne overrated? (cd, albums, quote, song, youtube)

BlckDeth · 05-12-2008, 02:59 PM

I give 'Lil Wayne some credit because of his work ethic, but the vast majority of what he does is pretty terrible, IMO. He does have a handful of songs where he seems to be stumbling upon something decent, but the ratio of bad songs:good songs is embarassingly high.

Meh. GLU wasn't terrible, but there are better Atmosphere albums. His two most recent albums, not to mention the 4 EPs that dropped in 07 were superior, IMO.

What? Atmosphere has gotten progressively cheesier after their masterpiece God Loves Ugly. I've hardly listened to Lemons.

atmosphere has always been cheesy

it got worse after all that "**** you lucy!!" bs

Cheesier*.

absolutely. XXL gave him their 'artist of the year' and blender gave him 'biggest rock star' of '07. this guy is getting way too much publicity just because he has been in every song made in the past year and a half. he is a good rapper but he is truly over-rated.
good poll!

Most underrated artist ever in the history of mankind!

I wouldn't classify him as overrated. I think Lil Wayne has the potential to become one of the greatest rappers of all time, however I think he is motivated to get as much money as he can rather than become the greatest rapper ever. I think as time passes on and even evidenced by "Lolipop", he will conform to the mainstream demand rather than reaching his full potential.
