The Lil Wayne Best Rapper Alive Argument
Is Wayne qualified to be the best?
Sometimes I like to play devil’s advocate and make you think!
If you ask someone, “who’s the best rapper alive?,” the average rap fan 22 or below will confidently respond, “Lil Wayne.” But of all the rappers who have been called “best rapper alive” (think Biggie, Jay, Em, Nas) — none of them have had the character flaws of the current “best.”
Consider the following:
1. The best rapper alive openly kisses a man that is not his father…on the lips.
Like father like manfriend.
2. The best rapper alive is a functioning, but full-fledged drug addict.
3. The best rapper alive knows Gillie Da Kid too well.
pt. 2 coming Monday!

lol. this should be interesting. I think dude is talented as hell, but as far as being the Best Rapper Alive [remember when he first started? The Best Rapper Alive...Since The Best Rapper Retired? Well, Jay's back so what now?], nah. Recently, dude’s been making less sense than before and thats all I need to say. Other “Best” rappers’ reigns have been longer than Wayne’s too…
Is this a question or just a statement in question form? Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive at the moment. His mixtapes are better than most rappers studio albums and The Carter 3 has sold over 2 million copies in an era where the internet has overtaken albums as the primary source of music. Who else can make the claim the as the best rapper alive? Certainly not Jay-Z nor Nas, because the truth is in the numbers. Eminem may be the best rapper alive if his new album is what I expect it to be, the f****n s**t. But until his album comes out the title of the best rapper alive belongs to weezy baby.
never been a huge fan of wayne in fact i don’t think i’ve ever voluntarily listened to one of his albums. From what i have heard he bites rhymes and his flow is awkward…..for some reason though kids can’t get enough of him. I think it is the era we are growing up in and I know you can’t compare eras, but wayne would be trash if he came out 15 yrs earlier.
Haha and the argument that number of sales determines the best rapper alive is stupid….so that means the Jonas Brothers are the best group in music right now cause they have the number one album…right? i mean there are of course exceptions, but in this era i believe the least sold artists are the most talented: One Be Lo, Blu & Exile, Little Brother, Murs, Blue Scholars, Tanya Morgan, Hiero, Elzhi, ect….not to mention all the other genres.
It is sad that people don’t really explore music. if all you listen to is what is on the radio you are problem missing out on 90 percent of the good music out there. Of course this is just my opinion and everyone has a different taste in music, but seriously do yourself a favor turn the radio off and explore the old stuff, underground stuff, and different genres. There is too much out there to listen to Wayne, Jeezy, T.I. and think that they are the pinnacle. That goes for Rihanna, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo and whatever other pop music is out today too.
stop talkin sh#t
cassidy the real best out row! but wayne the best sellor.
wayne can thank all homo and lil chick…and all your dumb pub
Logon – next time you post on the Hiptics.com comment section please work on your writing. I have no idea what you’re trying to say, but I have a feeling it doesn’t matter.
Very good point, Ronnie. Keep posting that illness.
i think lilwayne is the best rapper alive i am his biggest fan and as far as him and baby kissing i dont see anything wrong with it thats his dad or the closest thing to it there are plenty of people that would kiss baby and thier no kin everybody that said something about it is just hating!!!!!!!
I want to clarify point #1. I could care less if Wayne kisses a man on the lips. I just hate his justification; “we’re like the black mafia” (not exact quote)
horrible excuse IMO.
Lil Wayne’s rhymes are trash. He raps about the same shit all the time and just just the beats is ill, he thinks he can say he’s the best. Brother Ali and Atmosphere would tear him apart in freestyle. N.W.A. and the all those OG’s rhymed about real life. Wayne doesn’t live a real life so he has nothing to rap about but himself and how many diseases he has.
He’s marketed in a way that’s appealing to the clubbing scene and people that don’t appreciate music. People who are saturated in “radio rap”.
lil wayne is not the best. all he does is sing about money like wtf we dont care about yur money. hes so overrated its not even funy. the greatest rapper alive is eminem and he would tear up lil wayne. and all of lil waynes best song, he barely sings in them but yet everone thinks that hes só great. hes not. nowadays rap is commercial. lil wayne copies so many people toó. so many of his lyrics or at least alot of sentences in his songs are copied from rappers from the past. obviously lil wayne doesnt know snoop nas eminem jayz or rakim. they are all better thén lil wayne. and inn the song lolipop almost like a whóle minute is taken up of him saying call me so i can make it juicy for you
and he thinks he can make a mixtape called wheezyvelli. alot of ppl now who listen to lil wayne prob dont know he copied tht name from pac when pac called himself tht and wheezy ambitións sucks he cant copy ambitions as a ridah
50 cents – ill take youh to the candy shop ill let you lick the lolipop + ludacrises i wanna li li li lick you from yer head to yur toes = lil waynes i wanna li li li li lick you like a lolipop – which also equals trash / its like now people are hyptnotized by lil wayne, if people ppl can actually look past lil wayne and see rakim, big l, biggie, pac, nas, jayz, and em they would know tht lil wayne is ñowheres near the best or the best alive. and ppl tht thiñk they know bout rap and hiphop cuz they listen to lil wayne are posers
men he deserve to the best rapper and best rapper alive i love baby bbrrrr
character flaws MAKE the artist. and how the hell do you not mention 2pac? he slayed all everyone you mentioned. what kind of rapper can kiss a fully grown ape on the lips and still convince you that he could kill you with no remorse? what kind of rapper can think of the most ridiculous, hilarious, audacious thoughts like “i get menstrual i bleed through the pencil” and still be sincere? Lil wayne. and by the way, there is no way gilly wrote anything on D2 or after… you can tell he’s channeling his subconscious, contradictions and all.
i think JAY-Z is the best rapper alive, his latest album “blue print 3″ is the best,his track “new-york empire of mind” spend weeks on the billboard and that mean a lot too. JAY-Z for ever……
