Please don't make this a chain thread. Just post a rapper if you actually are trying to get into one, it'll make for a more productive thread.
Lil' Wayne
Lil' Wayne is tough to enjoy because he's pretty inconsistent and doesn't seem to have found his niche. It's not that a conceptual rapper is always good, but Lil' Wayne hasn't found his style. That doesn't really make him bad, but it means finding his best is tough.
Something about him is just weird and different, though. He's scattered and difficult to predict.
Granted, I don't like listening to him at all. I'm not into his croak of a voice, and sometimes he tries to get away with some of the worst puns I've heard in my life. Particularly ones regarding shit. "Baby I'm the shit, and that's all you smell around me." Really, Wayne?
Sometimes he has cool lyrics, though.
"I am sittin' on the clouds
I got smoke coming from my seat
I can play basketball with the moon
I got the whole world at my feet."
Underground hip hop fanatics are just acting like he's the face of everything wrong with hip hop. He's not great at all, but he's not HORRIBLE like everyone really wants him to be.
SATCHMO, if you'd like something like this about 2pac, I'm more than willing.
