Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne a good dude, but damn, he need to take a break from the radio. He killing it with the singing **** and autotune. This man a beast but not when he wanna.

I second Thaddeus. Him and his auto-tuner...He's too ubiquitous and too exposed. Him, Kanye and Rihanna need to disappear for a little while. I mean, I say that, but then again...anybody seen Usher around lately? He took a break after Confessions and then Here I Stand came out. Did anybody notice? Nope. But I digress...

It is sad to see Wayne on auto-pilot. Tha Carter 3 had some ingenius lyrics and sounds. Oh well. He'll make like 10 million a year from guest tracks alone and be happy. And as long as people request his songs on the radio and watch his videos, who cares?

A question to you people out in the forum world: Anybody else ever been as ubiquitous as Wayne is right now? I don't just mean how popular, but the number of different songs and artists he's linked to in popularity.

Meaning, lets say Elvis or Michael Jackson or even the Beatles have more over all hits. But none of them crossed over through so many genres and guested with so many people. Lil Wayne made a KEVIN RUDOLPH song a hit! Kevin Rudolph. Who the hell is Kevin Rudolph and what does he contribute?

Usher had Love in This Club. Pretty big hit.

FaSho · 01-14-2009, 01:58 PM

Usher had like 10 big hits.

Surell · 01-14-2009, 02:02 PM

Off his new album?

FaSho · 01-14-2009, 02:06 PM

Okay so i was exagerrating

He had 3. Love in This Club was the only REALLY big one I guess.

Surell · 01-14-2009, 02:54 PM

Only one I heard about.

AmericanMusicFan · 01-14-2009, 08:24 PM

Exactly! And I'm sorry, but Love in This Club was NOT a ubiquitous song like Lollipop, Let It Rock, Can't Believe It or, to a much lesser extent, Pop Bottles. Those are just the obvious examples which come to mind. What about Usher? Oh right, Usher guested rather effectively on T.I.'s "My Life Your Entertainment"

Surell · 01-14-2009, 10:01 PM

I never heard that one either.

TPain. He was everywhere and in every hit song for a period of time. Using his ****ing autotune and singing choruses. If it were up to me every hiphop chorus would just be done by Nate Dogg.
