What do you guys think of him? With all the crappy artists out there its easy to sometimes throw him in with them but I actually like some of his stuff. He's no where near the top but he's quite a few levels above the crap they play on the radio like chang hanger and young dro etc.
lil weezy fa sheezy is off the heezy! :D

Not a big fan of him, but "shooter" is an amazing song.

is that gillie? that youtube clip of him ripping lil wayne is quite hilarious.
Yeah that Gillie.
Lil Wayne is better than he used to be. But I'm not too crazy of a fan.

Gillie wish he did.
I think until about 2002 he was one of the worst rappers ever. But hes improved to being one of the most entertaining and a lot of people wont give him a chance because of a bad start. hes probably the most improved rapper ever. Nobody else went from maybe the worst to a legit good rapper. Hes something like a poormans southern Jay Z. Even when he doesnt have good lyrics his flow makes songs worth hearing.
GOBB he is a philly native, he is your brotheren..."gotta support the team" :D
Gill and Spade wrote a lot of stuff for Wayne. It's not a secret. Thought it was actually well known. Especially in Philly.
I never really trusted "___ wrote ____" claims that much without seeing it on an albums notes which you usually dont(ive never bought a wayne album anyway). Lot of people claim to write things with no real proof. Sometimes 2-3 different people are rumored to write the same song. Like Mad Skillz, Ludacris, and eminem all having people say they wrote a lot of Puffys album in like 2002.
Now Spade wrote his stuff too? Whatever. Gillie probably helped Wayne in the lab but he is exaggerrating bigtime about his influence on Lil Wayne. And yet as of today Gillie still even with his lame attempt to crap on Wayne hasnt been able to be relevant. You havent heard from him at all. Wonder why. Gillie did it to give his career a jump. Mixtapes being made, small movie being made called Marijuana High. Blah, he got a flow no doubt but why isnt he being a player in the game? Things that make you go hmmmm.

Hell Cam was a complete nobody back then yet he still "Crush on You" for Lil Kim.
Gillie did not write SHYT for Wayne. :roll:
He claims he's been Weezy's Ghostwriter. N' Please...
People don't even know who Gillie is...He's been trying to make a name for himself and he's bitter about it so this is the only way he can. Dude is a joke.
And Wayne has BEEN sick with it. He was never garbage IMO. 500 Degreez, and Block is Hot are both fire albums.
He's switched up his flow slightly, but honestly it's not that drastic as some people claim. He's simply just caught a spark now.
[IMG]http://joyhillweb.net/blog/uploads/gobb.jpg[/IMG]
Changed his flow "slightly"??? Go listen to his previous work. The stuff before 500 Degreez. The stuff from '98 and earlier. Then listen to the stuff from around '99/'00 when Figgas got down with Cash Money.
The difference is drastic.
The difference between his flow on something like Bling Gling and Go DJ is huge. If not for the voice it wouldnt even seem like the same person. I think it helped he stopped writing things down(supposedly). Ive noticed the people who claim they dont write have a different flow. Sounds less rehearsed which I guess is the point. Like everything is a freestyle when you know it isnt. One could say he intentionally ripped off Jay Zs flow but a lot of people try it and few do so well.
I'm not doubting he hasn't switched up, that would be stupid, because it's cleary evident that he has. But I've been listening to dude for a while
He's added this somewhat of a of a up-northern flow to his rap arsernal so to speak, but the actual lyrical ability is the same.

'Cause I rather hear a Lil' Wayne/Lil' Zane duet[/QUOTE]

That's all I think of when I hear Lil Wayne. (Great diss track btw, although I dunno who it's about.)
"Lil Wayne"? Who the hell would listen to that?
Scrach that...i dont wanna argue about this. I dont even like Lil Wayne like that. So my point is I dont believe he wrote it "all". Think he went extreme/exaggerrated there. I wont deny he didnt write a thing either.
Jay Z stole Young Chris flow. Young Chris from the Young Gunnaz always had that flow, the whisper spit. Now all of a sudden Jay Z jacks it and uses it. Stole a lot of stuff from Philly. Bastard. That's not Jay Z flow.
Probably the best young rapper right now.
Great delivery and rhymes... plus he has a charisma and humor to him that all the other generic rappers don't.
Living in the south ive been hearing Wayne(against my will at the time) since he was 15 or 16 on fleamarket mix cds. Hes just different now. A lot different. I listen to his old songs and its like night and day. He didnt go from Vanilla Ice to Rass kass but everything about his flow is different and his rhymes are improved even if its the same subject matter.
Wayne was so bad back when he started id drive my own car places instead of ride with friends I knew would be playing that Hot boy ****. Now hes on most my mix cds. First rapper ive hated that I changed my mind on. Im stubborn. But he made me change my mind.
Weezy bites a lil off of Jay. But if u heard his last album, and the features hes been doing, (mixtape tracks), the man is spitting crack for real. hes not the illest lyricist out there, but he can really flow, and he spits some clever $hit more times. Weezys sick.
Favorite Commercial Rappers right now:
Cam'ron
Lil' Wayne
The Clipse
Jadakiss
Black Thought
Jay went from a Bone thugs singsong quick flow to the Biggie conversational one. I liked his old style. Back when hed be with Big L and Jaz-O.
[QUOTE]First rapper ive hated that I changed my mind on. Im stubborn. But he made me change my mind[/QUOTE]
did the exact same thing to me.
his lyrics are really pointless but I love his musical vision. hes able to take the weirdest beats and wrap his verses around them. "shooter?" what other rapper could have come up with that one?
his lyrics just disappoint me sometimes. like on Best Rapper Alive. what was he even talking about? but you learn to not care. and most of the time hes well above average.
his new $hit wit juelz, hes just been killin.

Gillie embarrassed Wayne. ahahaa
Off wikipedia:
[quote]Lil Wayne once shot himself in the chest after smoking a blunt.[/quote]
he's good... but he's gettin a little too close to birdman
Wayne has been one of the few artist that actually got better after "blowing up". His stuff now is much better than his "bling bling" days.
Anyone want to help me name all the rappers with the prefix 'lil?
Lil Jon
Lil Wayne
Lil Scrappy
I'm sure there's more.
"Dear Mister Toilet, I'm the Sh.t" - Lil Wayne
He's the best rapper alive - Da Carter
What was that stuff about him kissing Baby that Young Buck was talking about.
[QUOTE=picc84]What was that stuff about him kissing Baby that Young Buck was talking about.[/QUOTE]
He's just trying to use another man's name to get people to notice him. It's pathetic really.
Lil wayne got good after jay was trying to sign him. Jay made him believe he was the best rapper and wayne ran with it and copyed Jay's style so i better not here anyone say they don't like jay but they like wayne.
Don't get me wrong with Jay out momentarily no one can touch wayne this guy spitts crakk

Bullsh*t. Some of his lines are so clever, they make you automatically rewind just so you can catch it all.
And some funny ones like " Dear mr. toilet, Im the sh*t. Got these other hatas pissed, cause my toilet paper thick".
Some of his metaphors he throws in his flow are great. And he may have stopped writing his stuff down like Jay Z, but I don't think their overall flow is all that similar.
