BoneHead. Posted 2 August 2008 Posted 2 August 2008 The self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive". With this album i dont think he does that title much harm at all, cant really name a bad track out of the 18 odd on the album. Any one else heard/got it?
Samilktray Posted 2 August 2008 Posted 2 August 2008 cant really name a bad track out of the 18 odd on the album. I can name 4. Phone Home. Mrs. Officer. La La. You Aint Got Nothin. And then Comfortables pretty poor.
Simi Posted 2 August 2008 Posted 2 August 2008 I can name 4.Phone Home. Mrs. Officer. La La. You Aint Got Nothin. And then Comfortables pretty poor. But you still like le album, no?

Jordan Posted 3 August 2008 Posted 3 August 2008 When Lil' Wayne released the track, "Best Rapper Alive," everybody laughed at him for making such a ridiculous claim. Then, a few recording executives decided that Lil' Wayne was going to become the biggest rapper in the world. They got him a few ghost writers that do a half-ass job of putting together his rhymes ("I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed"--what?!) and some terribly overproduced beats ... sadly, that's the recipe of success for pop hip-hop. I can go on ripping on Lil' Wayne ... but at least he did do "Tha Block is Hot," so his canon isn't entirely composed of shit. That joint's nearly 10 years old, and I've still got to give him some credit for it.

Jay Posted 3 August 2008 Posted 3 August 2008 which bit the fact that he uses Ghost Writers and doesn't write for himself on the fact "I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed" is shockingly bad or maybe the fact it's a mass produced lowest common denominator version of Hip Hop?
lildave3 Posted 3 August 2008 Posted 3 August 2008 Yes he's good and I like him alot, but he's not the best. Jay Z would possibly take that title.
botFOX Posted 4 August 2008 Posted 4 August 2008 personally I think you gotta look at Chuck D or possibly KRS One... The best rapper isn't on a major label as the best are enjoying the underground.. NYOIL and Illogic are two up and comming rappers who are really on top of the game right now.

Seems moe like a discussion on mainstream rappers as opposed to underground rappers.
botFOX Posted 4 August 2008 Posted 4 August 2008 Seems moe like a discussion on mainstream rappers as opposed to underground rappers. Possibly but it was more a discussion on "Best Rapper Alive" which by nature must involve all rapper from Mainstream to Underground..
Samilktray Posted 4 August 2008 Posted 4 August 2008 Possibly but it was more a discussion on "Best Rapper Alive" which by nature must involve all rapper from Mainstream to Underground.. Its best to put the two into categories these days, its pretty much two different styles of hiphop. So i personally wouldnt compare a rapper from each style of hiphop. Just me though.

Just me though. Maybe but there's more of the underground starting to come into the mainstream, The Flobots underground album has been released through universal and MURS who has been proberly the biggest Underground rapper for years is signed a one album deal with a major company.. Plus MURS is proberly one of the best rappers alive hell he even has a t-shirt that says "MURS is better than your favourite rapper" (which I wear with pride)
purpleronnie Posted 4 August 2008 Posted 4 August 2008 All the best rapper talk and no mention of the greatest rapper of all time:- Kevin Federline
