The case for Wayne being a Great

Postby FreeSpeech » Dec 22nd, '10, 05:02

I see people debating/dickriding/insulting Wayne EVERYWHERE. TRShady, Youtube, everywhere. I just posted this in a thread, but I felt a topic should be made.

WHY WAYNE IS SEEN AS GREAT:
He is good/great at everything, absolutely amazing at nothing. Like, some guys have great lyrics and trashy flows. Some guys have catchy songs with little content. Some guys have deep content, but their songs are pretty boring. Wayne is good/great at everything.

-Flow: He has his flow down, I find this pretty indisputable.
-Lyrics: He's clever, face it. Some of his metaphors make me cringe, but he also says awesome lines no one else would think of. The good lines outway the bad ones. All rappers have said wack stuff, people just love to get on Wayne.
-Content: He has great deep songs like Shoot Me Down, Miss My Dawgs, Tie My Hands, etc. He has great stereotypical rap songs like a lot of CII. He has just flat out good songs like Shooter. He has great party songs. Basically, any mood you're in, you can find a Weezy track for it.
-Mixtapes: Who matches his mixtapes? Very few...
-Beats/production: Damn good. Doesn't have much to do with HIM, but it makes his music way better. Every good artist needs good beats and production.
-Prevalence: He's everywhere, he is the go to guy for features. He is constantly giving his fans new content. He's been on so many great albums, from Graduation to Recovery.
-Influence: I'm not going to bothering arguing, but he has huge influence over the rap industry.
-Voice: I can understand how people can find his voice annoying, just like some people think Em's voice is annoying. However, I like it and so do millions of people. He definately has a classic voice. It's unique, non confusable. That's the problem a lot of rappers have, their lines are dope but their voices blend in.

There are hundreds of rappers who can beat him in a single category, but in every category? Very, very few beat Wayne.

good post...i completely agree
Weezy's GPA so to speak would be higher than any rapper's when you factor in all the categories

Hundreds of rappers have better multis than Pac. He's still a great...

PS the "hundreds" was an exaggeration, both for Pac and Wayne
