One can tell that Lil Wayne is a student of the game, He is reminiscent of Rakim "the Great". Rakim Fathered a style!!! His delivery, His flow, the way that he rode the beat and made people feel every thump,Rhyme,Metaphor,simile, was unprecedented! a New Style and Voice just made for a smooth ride on any track!

Lil Wayne's Flow,Delivery ,Punchlines, and the way he rides a beat are that of most of the greats in the history in hip-hop. It just makes for an easy listen and catch phrases that last for years!

Lil Wayne brought about a change in the game as well
With the birth of the Carter II BAPE was the hoodies of choice and MOB was a slogan posted on even white boy's Facebook/Myspace pages. The Age of rockstar style has also been fostered by Lil Wayne

two the people that say that Lil Wayne says nothing in his rhythms or cannot stay on one Topic you must not have listened to the following tracks "just to name a few"

* Earthquake-Carter I
* Hustler Musik-Carter II
* Georgia... Bush-Dedication II
* The Sky is the Limit- Da Drought 3 disk 1
* Crazy-Da Drought 3 disk 2
* 1st Key-Like Father,Like Son
*MY PERSONAL FAVORITE I Like Dat- Lil Weezyana

But there is just to many for me to name!!!


Comparisons LIL Wayne is a mixture




Tupac- Similar attitude to the thug life mentality and Style with the ability to connect to the hood and bring about sensitive contious songs! (Reference to Blood gang/Tattoos/ and Style)




Rakim- "refer to the top of the Blog"


Jay-Z- Swagger ( When Jay Changed styles others did as well)


Kanye West- Ingenuity and Creativity









So now with all of this being said it is time to be honest, I was not a Wayne fan when he first came in it took me a long time to start respecting his craft, but it is undeniable! even if u hate Wayne there is atleast 1 song that you do like! he is the Rapper of now!
