Sure his lyrics/lines aren't always on point but what he does it's similar to throwing many darts at a dartboard. Sure, not all of them are going to be bullseye but they might be close to it and then some will just be completely off and not even hit the target board ie. the line matious chose to pick out of the song when he did have some hot lines in that song.
I have heard so many people say that wayne is the best, if you don't think he's overrated that must mean you agree with them. I'm not arguing that the dude has talent and that he puts his work in, all I'm saying is that there are plenty of artists out there that have much more stable discographies. If he was truly great he would be more consistent. Yes, he shines sometimes, but other times his material is trash. Remember his little guitar playing stint? I'm pretty sure that the general population of MB says that he is overrated not because we're all haters (even though myself and others have been giving tunechi a hard time), but because we have enough knowledge of music (or slightly more than your average listener) to look at things objectively and realize that yes Lil Wayne is talented, but there are many more artists who are clearly above his level. You can say that he is your favorite, just don't say that he lives up to the hype.
