Pretty much. Sure, his delivery is distinctive. But it's also awful.

You can only speak for yourself, and to each his own. Lots of people like hearing his rapping voice on the mic, and it's a key selling point.

After watcing him tonight and hearing C4,I don't have a doubt Wayne is artistically lost.
Funny thing, if he actually wrote, he wouldn't be as trash as he is now

I'm telling y'all... and I've already said this before..
Lil Wayne is Shaq after he left the Heat.
1. Once a great talent, he is just riding the wave now hoping to stay relevant and popular.
2. Loyal fan base and will support him through all.
3. Once was on top of the game, and arguably one of the best (not by me, but others)
4. It's just time to hang it up man because it's getting sad to watch just like it was watching Shaq these past few years.

Delivery is a key part of hip-hop though. Alot of people listen to Wayne simply because his rapping style and idiosyncrasies on the mic SOUNDS cool to their ears, regardless of lyrics. Which is why when people say they could easily craft a Wayne-type verse, I tell them "cool, now let's see you actually spit it".
He made his style his own, and people like that.
Pretty much sums it up...

Oh yea i could see that. I was just asking cause I really thought it would have happened sooner. Since 05, no other artist has oversaturated the rap game more than Lil' Wayne, so
I figured people would be like "again???". But with the sales, the end is not even in sight.

He's this generation's Tupac.
Now before you all go crucifying me, hear me out. I am in no way comparing his lyrical abilities, discography, overall talent, none of that.
What I'm comparing is the way the mainstream (pop radio, pop tv, popular anything) see him.
Some of the younger heads on this board might not know this, but Pac wasn't the gangster he died as, just like Wayne isn't the Magnolia soldier he claims to be. However, both are very charismatic, and they look the part to people who don't see the "hood" everyday (aka WHITE AMERICA). In the 90s, Pac looked like what a gangster rapper description. The bald head, the du-rag, being with Suge and Snoop. He looked the part to these people, he rapped the life to these people, and with a little entertainment magic, that's who he is. Lil Wayne is what every suburban white family is afraid their daughter will bring home in rebellion. The dreadlocks, the tattoos, the teeth. Yet, at the same time, they're infatuated and hypnotized by it.
Forget that Pac used to be a DANCER for digital underground. Didn't matter. Lil Wayne has been on a tour bus since before he was a teen. He's never been shot, except for that time he shot himself on accident and almost killed himself. Ever notice he likes to reference "when I got shot" not "when I shot myself". Being shot is synonymous with living "that life" to people outside the actual life.
If mainstream America even sat down for ONE minute and really broke down who Lil Wayne is now, a gangster rapping, blunt blowing, polo draws showing, skateboarding, fake guitar playing crooner, who "went to jail", most of their common sense would kick in and be like, none of this is real.
But they don't want to. And they're not going to. So if Lil Wayne has lost anything, I don't know what it is. Because it sure isn't fans.
Simply put. He isn't rapping for us anymore. He's rapping for the kids on the "other site"
