God I wish he died! I rarely wish death on anyone, but WAYNE I wish you died for real!

  Fact is… Wayne is an above average rapper (not the best) that does exaggerate sumtimes (kidnapping beyonce is a good example)… He does hav bad fashion sense n never dropped a classic album but he does make good music for tha most part

stupid ass, why would you say that about anyone, anyways even though what wayne said is fucked up to rap and hiphop… hes right. i bet if you had a million dollars every other week, u wouldnt give a shit, neither would i.

  He has a million dollars every other week? Where can I see these numbers? Or is this what you are led to believe? I also bet $100 that your no older than 13…

And Lil Wayne is wack as fuck, so I dont give a fuck how much he sells or how much money he has. Fucking tight ass pants wearing faggot ass mother fucker!

  Damn why u mad?? Times have changed man get over it. I hate skinny jeans too but it doesn’t ruin my day. I just don’t wear them simple as that. If I don’t like a Wayne song I don’t listen simple as that. This nigga beating his keyboard up cause he mad at a nigga doing it LMAO

  I guess u can read, hes wack. Besides, since when is it cool to be fake and since when is it cool to support fake artists? Skinny Jeans wearing gang banger, yea… smdh
  - Slim
    
    First I don’t support Wayne I said he changed from my likings.. But this is entertainment its about music not what he want to claim or what he wears. I like Micheal Jackson’s music but I wouldn’t dress like him does that mean he’s wack? People like his music for whatever reason and thats cool for them and him I can’t hate that fact.

      Not the best analogy. MJ never claimed to be a killer or a gang member or rich as heck. he stayed in his lane. i see what you mean but wrong reference.
      - Jim Paponetti
        
        Wayne is a fake because he claims that hes rich? R u stupid lol? Both Wayne and Birdman are in the Forbes list. What is rich to you? Because they dont have Bill Gates and Steve Jobs type numbers? lmao
        
        Wayne has never claimed to be a killer.

        Nigga I don’t even take you serious…go play in traffic.
  - Jdizz on yo face
    
    Since when is it cool to whine and bitch like a lil girl? For real you sound like a bitch mad that they favorite singer didnt win American Idol lmao. Who gives a fuck about lil wayne? N you saying you don’t is bullshit cause you n a couple other fags do the same shit every week.

  Wayne is wack as fuck when it comes to spittin. I wouldnt even consider him close to hiphop anymore, but i gotta admit that the guy is a marketing genius.

    Well actually, Baby is the marketing genius… Wayne is just the gimmick
Imabusinessman

Well, we don’t have to listen to him. Even hating on Lil Wayne is keeping him relevant. I don’t hate anyone unless they done me wrong.We can tune out Tunechi. I know I can…hahaha
Imabusinessman

Matterfact to prove it, I ain’t even listen to his interview…so people its possible….hip-hop is making a come back…
Nickle9

Well at some u werent rich as shit and number and sales did matter or else u wouldnt have hoped on every DAMN SONG known to man during the year 2007( i think that was the year) right before u dropped the carter 3
Slim

Damn man y’all are a bunch of haters.. This dude has been in this shit since he was 12. The industry has changed, thanks to bootlegging numbers dont matter for making money. Artist dont make money from albums if there on a major label. And wayne im sure hopped on those songs maybe cause he like rapping and those artist reached out to him considering he was the biggest name in MUSIC that year. Im not a fan of his recent music but damn cats wishing death and all emotional over Wayne if you dont like him dont listen. I heard carter 4 once hes on some different shit than I am right now I dont hate on him thou. Hip-Hop appealing to the mainstream is dead man face the facts if niggas aint singing they aint selling. Hardcore rap is dead as far as selling numbers is concerned!!!

  its people like u who destroy real hip hop, u support wack and fake artists and hip hop as it used to be (baggys, timbs and black hoodys) changes to skinny pants, thongs, lipstick for men. U call that ok?
  
  no support for the wack = no more wack music, simple as that but brats and retarded wayne-, flo rida-, t pain-, kid kudi-, what ever-fans make it impossible.
  
  this is no hate, this is called ‘having an opinion’.
  
  Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Gang Starr, M.O.P., Mobb Deep, .. thats hip hop, not that shit i mentioned above. Thats Hip POP.
  - Slim
    
    You illiterate fuck.. Can you not read? I never said I liked their music I just don’t hate on it like you do. You stuck in the 90′s nigga you gotta evolve. That doesn’t mean you gotta take the fads of this era but your mind must change. All those artist you mentioned I am a fan of and listen to regularly but they wont be relevant again man face it I have. Its like when I was younger and bumpin crucial conflict and wearing my pants off my ass the older cats was calling me wack. Its a change nigga stop bitching and move along.
    - Jim Paponetti
      
      lol How miserable are these peoples lives that they wish death on someone who is making it and they are hating like they are getting paid a million dollars to do so?
      
      Thats the only way people would go out there way and be so emotional over artists they dont like. Their lives just arent going the way they want them to so they have to express all there anger on someone who is enjoying life making money, skateboarding, partying, etc.

    Honestly, “Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Gang Starr, M.O.P., Mobb Deep” is more RAP that hip hop. Hip Hop is truth. It was never about killing niggas, getting biltzed and hoes on your dick. Thats Rap. RAP is almost 10% truth 90% lies. Now I love rap, I grew up with all that you said. I still rock my baggy’s. I don’t sag though cause a nigga showing his butt to the world is just a gay as tight jeans. Both are showing your ass so whats the difference? One just makes it tighter than the other. I understand change but here’s where it gets twisted….you got fake niggas screaming the real, when they not. The rap community frowns upon anything that is not considered “real” or “grimey” or “hard” (pause). Hip Hop got blurred a bit and thats a big issue cause pop kinda moved in on hip hop and since hip hop and rap are related, its mixing in and real rap fans don’t like it. thats my opinion.

      Daithlee speaks the truth… I wear my pants baggy, but also grew out of the sag my pants stage as I grew in age.
      Jimmy oh Jimmy boy, who got emotional? Me wishing for Wayne’s death or you jumping to his defense and calling people haters? Common son your the emotional one lol.

You can be rich and not be on the forbes list. But as RICH as you claim to be, nigga you need to be on there TWICE.
Green monster

This is exactly why I dont buy his albums hes cocky arrogant & dosent care anyway
indy972

i see the hate on wayne is still alive on defsounds…glad to see some shit aint changed…wayne is a cocky ignorant dude, who says shit that makes me roll my eyes…but he does have flow and skill and has killed many of tracks…not all of his songs are good, some are down right wack and laughable, but i have heard wayne kill many beats…and i am a real hip hop fan and have been my whole life, no matter who hates wayne and tells me im not

Thanks smart as-, didn’t know his name. Now all the haters can thank you for this. Why is it that 90% of Wayne haters are white? I mean all my black friends(dopemen,goons, etc) still like him. Yeah not as much as before and they think rebirth trash but he still straight. I thinks is because the majority of u on here are WHITE and RACIST. Black people created hip hop so be grateful and respect they opinion. Not everyone can rap like your beloved eminems and yelawolves so just be thankful for what it is. After all, it is Thanksgiving.

  I think the majority of YOU is actually the racist and the WHOLE of you is an idiot. Your whole rant has no basis and or proof for that super ignorant comment you just made. And you propping yourself is lame and doesn’t count.
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ COBmyRELIGION
  
  90% of Wayne haters are white and your group of 13 year old black friends that consist of mostly females are still in love with Wayne? So we must be white and racists? Where can I find these statistics?
  
  You sir, are right. I am white, but I LOVE Hip-hop since the late 80′s. Me being a Wayne hater has nothing to do with being a RACIST, but your racist ass just tried to intertwine them together some how. Just because Eminem is a great rapper and is white doesn’t mean every Wayne hater is white and racist, You DUMB F-CK. FYI, Eminem isn’t even my favorite rapper. Awe shit, my FAVORITE RAPPER IS BLACK! lol… Come again?
Pimp Daddy

Sure thing white dawg. Go back to being a closet Mac miller fan.
Omar Efwar

the problem is wack dudes like wayne make music for people in clubs, people that dont know shit about hip hop buying hip hop is bad for hip hop! its like people dont focus on quality or lyrics or even flow, they just focus on soundscans and how much money they movin that first week, but they forget about the actual content in the disc thats bad for the artist.
