Lil Wayne Voted Best Rapper Alive

TIME magazine has voted Lil Wayne the best rapper alive. Did we miss something?

"Lil Wayne has a smoke-scarred rasp that makes him sound like Redd Foxx covering Bob Dylan. It's hardly the voice you'd expect from a 25-year-old rap star, but then, it's been a busy 25 years.

"Whether Wayne is, as he claims, the "best rapper alive" is no longer even debated in hip-hop or commercial circles. Since June 10, when his latest album, Tha Carter III, sold 1,005,545 copies in its first week, he's been the undisputed champ."

What are your thoughts? Do you think TIME magazine is right on, or does someone else deserve the title??

Haha there is no way in hell lil wayne is the "Best rapper alive" what happended to Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Andre 3k, Method man, T.I., Kanye, and even 50? They are still alive arnt they? and they are WAY better RAPPERS than lil wayne. lil waynes music plain and simple sucks!! Great beats but Stupid lyrics that dont make sense

CHUNKY

Someone give there best arguement why he is the best rapper alive because he is clearly not!!!!!!!!!

precious

lil wayne is the best rapper alive no body else sold 1 million copies in one week

Skittles

Uh yea 50 cent has sold 1 million in a week and eminem has done it 3 different times!!!!!

Jay-Z suck his music aint no where nere lilwayne music do you see anyboby talkin about her pussy in my mouth had me lost for words cuz they are to damn scary to talk about but they can rap about stupid shit

haha yea Jay-z is scared have u ever even heard his songs?? atleast when he gets dissed he actually says sumthin back instead of lil wayne shutting up like a pussy when 50 called him a whore hahaha

Freeman

Johnybannanas

Tha Carter III was absalute garbage....

miss lucero

dont care wat u ppl think, lil Wayne is da shit, damb he has a voice to kill* i think any girl who is in love with his voice would do anything to get with that* Lil Wayne i love you baby boy*

Ok only bitches shud like lil wayne and if ur a guy and u like him....UR GAY!!!

Gregory10

Most people that say lil wayne is the best just heard of him like wat... last year maybe lol

VoiceofReason

A guy named Johnybannanas is calling someone gay? Am I the only one that sees the irony here? The best rapper alive alive is decided by the people. If more people supported Wayne over Nas, Wayne is the better of the two. People say sales don't matter but that is a direct sign of personal opinion. It's like a presidential election, the one with the most delegates and votes wins, point blank.

kodak wiley

whiteboys

its funny yall talk about fucking jayz and nas , when both of them called LIL WAYNE THE BEST IN THE GAME . nas on XXL interview jay on xxl interview PLUS he passed the crown on "mr carter", how can you deny somethign when your OWN idols agree with wayen , you fucking morrons, wayne is keeping hiphop alive, if you like it or not , he is the best rapper alive, and eminem? shut the fuck up

relleyrelle

yo how about i bring a new light im talking the future i see me mothafuckin me a 16 year old cleveland nigga becoming the best rapper alive and lil wayne passin the crown to me relleyrelle peace

holla back

im down with wayne...im only not down when people try to sweat him more than he deserves. hes clever, hes not a good rapper, he caint rap about one subject in any song...he makes words up to finish his lines instead of takin time to think up a real sentence..and hella dumb ass kids eat it up cause its apparently a race to be the first to decipher what the fuck he talkin bout....he makes 200 cuts a month and about 10 of those are catchy and about 1 of those are good (maybe)...and the funny thing is all the real dudes be in the back laughin at the game right now. dre, snoop, nas, jay, the game, cube, bun b even cats like common and what not, all those real cats who know real hip hop talk about how the game is whack right now, how the music is whack and its funny no one notices that weezy is on the top of his grind when the music quality is the lowest in years....direct coorelation

micky
