Ask the bitch her name and tell her go board the plane

Mike Wit appears to have stole some of my thunder, because I think that he is dead on with his analysis of LW and Nas. In an attempt to be as charitable as possible to Lil Wayne I re-listened to the Carter trio of albums and my favorite mixtape from LW called "I can't feel my face" (its about crack and cocaine, mmmm, nice) yesterday. And honestly, it is hard to get through. There wasn't a single song on any of the three albums that gripped me in such a way so as to make me listen to it three times, or even twice. And that is essentially the problem for me, when I get into music, I super consume it, and there is nothing that I can super consume when it comes to Lil Wayne. Perhaps there were a couple of decent songs, "tie my hands" is ok, but it is one of the only songs with a coherent and consistent rhyme theme, and if that what you want (a song with a chilled out guitar beat) I would easily go with Nas' "thugz mansion" off the "God's Son" album.

In fact, I have major beef with your dismissal of Stillmatic as "weak." There have been points when I wondered if it rivaled "illmatic" (those moments passed, but I still pondered it for a while). How can you say the album is weak when it contains one of the best battle songs ever in "Ether", "Got yourself a Gun" is a better gangster-esque song with a better hook and better lyrics than any of the songs on Carter 1, 2, or 3. "Smokin" is great, especially with its oath breakdown, "You're Da Man" is one of the best songs Nas has ever put out, same goes for "One Mic." Jesus H Christ, I am only through the first few songs and they are all incredible, "one mic" is a lyrical achievement that is way beyond the capabilities of Lil Wayne, and let's not even mention (haha, no let's mention it) one of the most interesting and incredible lyrical expositions ever created in Nas' "Rewind." In the song he tells a story in reverse and keeps the rhyme moving backward perfectly throughout the entire track, Lil Wayne doesn't have any where near the talent to achieve something like that, Lil Wayne is not a poet, he may be a rhymer, but he is far from a poet, and I like the poet MC's better (Talib, Mos Def, Nas, Tupac, Slug, etc). After "One Mic" comes "2nd Childhood" a very good song that is a self-reflective anthem (something else Lil Wayne rarely attempts), followed up by "Destroy and Rebuild" a song about the state of queensbridge and hip hop. In many of Nas' songs he is very aware of the history of Hip Hop, and I love that about Nas', he really knows a lot about his industry, and he isnt afraid to talk about it. Maybe you don't like a song like "Queens get the money" but it is better than Lil Wayne saying "shorty wanna thug, bottles in the club" for the 100th time on the third Cater album, I mean really is there nothing else you have to say on your THIRD album than "I make money?". Back to Stillmatic, the next songs "The flyest" and "rule" are strong songs, I honestly don't know why Stillmatic could be seen as weak, I think it is right on to consider it a classic album, if for no other reasons than "Ether" "One Mic" and "Rewind."

It is hard to get through Lil Wayne, maybe if I was at a party and wanted nothing intelligent on in the background I would play Wayne, but I don't even like his beats, not a single beat grabbed me and pumped me up like the beat off of "Hero" on "untitled".

My title is a Lil Wayne line, I will end with a Nas line from "If I ruled the world" off the album "it was written" (which is a very strong album that I am not sure you even mentioned)

You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory
Running from Jake, gettin chased, hunger for papes
These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight
Trying to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
Making moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nigga having shit

Lil Wayne recently claimed "I am Hip Hop", Nas recently claimed "Hip Hop is Dead"...........and that pretty much sums it up for me.

Dont know why the font is so big, that is unintentional
