Weezy and, oh yeah, Yeezy: GQ’s Men of the Year.
Kanye West and Lil Wayne are both “honored” in GQ’s inaugural Men of the Year issue, in newsstands everywhere, next week. Kanye is a Man of the Year for his “exceptional achievements”in 2007.
Lil’ Wayne was called a “workaholic” by GQ; he released various mixtapes in 2007 and appeared on such songs as “Barry Bonds” by Kanye West, “Duffle Bag Boys” by Playaz Circle, DJ Khaled’s
“We Takin’ Over,” and Jay-Z’s “Hello Brooklyn.” Daft Punk was also cited by the magazine. I’m not sure what Daft Punk did to become “Men of the Year”, but I’m all for Kanye and Lil Wayne’s achievements. Kanye released the years best rap album, once again (oh yes, I went there), and Lil Wayne’s mixtapes and ultimately The Carter III where/will be amazing. Lil Wayne has hit his stride this year, releasing an unfathomable amount of new, fresh music that has changed rap forever. Weezy has a certain charisma to his voice that is not paralleled in recognizability, nor unparadox flow. I can, with much ease, say that Lil Wayne is the Best Rapper Alive.
Cue the backlash.

Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive. Whenever he open his mouth to spit rhymes, it’s just pure flow of lyrics . Big up Lill Wayne (weezy F baby) Bishop fr JAMAICA seh dat!!!!
lil waynes the best rapper and i listen to rock and his just to good noone can beat em him and birdman are a good rappers together
best rapper alive. period.
Lil wayne isnt wahts keeping hi-hop life..hes keeping real lyricists likelupe and talib from gaining attention.
Lil Wayne has some of the best ghostwriters alive, period… If he is really even to be put in the same paragraph as today’s true talent, then ask yourself this; Why did his rhymes evolve nearly ten thousand fold between everyone of his old albums and the remixes he is constantly a part of now? He has stage presence and can deliver well but come on…. there is no way he is now just best rtapper period when the block was hot as an ice cube when he came out with that crap. I wish it was not the case, but lil wayne is one of the many benfactors of the infamous ghostwriters. In fact i heard he benefits from the anonymous three writers in Philly.
One more time I want to say that this really has been hard for me to take in that he has always been my favorite from the cash money scene. But there is no way he could ever step to likes of Andre 3000 or Kweli or Blackthought, MF Doom, and the list goes on of far more talented writers/ rhymers on any stage.
I heard Lil’ Wayne on a lot of records this year! I liked the one he did on Enrique Iglesias’ album. I like Barry Bonds for Kanye West’s album. His song with Chris Brown is good. He must have recorded hundreds of songs in 2006 and 2007 when we the public didn’t notice. And he sounds quite good on all of them. He has a very distinctive rap style to come from New Orleans. Plus, he’s very versatile, none of his songs with others sound the same.
two simple words . . .
livin leqend (:
Lil Wayne is the BEST and I dont see NOBODY coming no where near him except Julez and Ludacris. But to all you niggas who love Jay-Z he anit SHIT. He got hot in his 30’s and yall on his dick. Then yall look at Wayne and he is on 25 and been ripping shit since he was 15 and yall say that he gay and suck, Im going to doing something for yall that Lil Wayne may not do and that is to say that at one point in your past u love and bumped Lil Wayne but since he stepped up to the plate and went at the nigga that says he was yall anit got no respect for him. FUCK ALL YALL LIL WAYNE HATERS!! He is the Best and if he is not tell your favorite rapper to say something about him and watch and listen how he would rip his ass up!!! And Im out this Bitch!!! Lil Wayne # 1
