Crooked I Says Lil Wayne Brought Lyricism Back To The Mainst

Postby King Lance » Oct 2nd, '14, 20:52

he's talking about 2007/2008

Speaking with HipHopDX about Lil Wayne's impact on mainstream Hip Hop, Crooked I detailed his respect for the Young Money rapper lyricism.

Explaining his take on Wayne’s effect on young Hip Hop listeners throughout his commercial success, Crooked I spoke about Tha Carter emcee’s penchant for “witty” one-liners.

“I think Wayne is one of the artists who really opened that gateway, there was a time where we weren’t getting anything in the mainstream,” Crooked I said in a clip that debuted as a part of the DX Daily today (September 30). “The underground always has flourished. You got so many layers of the game: you got the underground, you got the almost-famous, you got the famous, you got the super famous. So, in the super famous realm I don’t think that those fans were getting any lyricism. I think Wayne, I credit and salute him because when he was hopping on all those joints, he had some memorable one-liners that were witty, catchy, and clever at the same time. It made people start thinking, young people. I remember talking to’em at the barbershop, they’re like, ‘Yo, he is the best rapper alive.’ That was the best that they had heard.”

I'm surprised out of all people that Crooked I would praise Lil Wayne. I wonder if he is just trolling.

Charisma IS a big reason why these rappers are mainstream tho. :-k I'm just surprised he'd pick Wayne over Kanye and Lupe, ESPECIALLY Lupe, considering he had a huge buzz at the time.

I think hes just slightly above average. But I agree with the rest. I do think having a good presence and charisma are both important parts of being a well rounded rapper and artist. I think wayne does largely rely on his charisma for what he lacks lyrically.
