I like Weezy.

But his rock album was garbage.

But I seriously hope he's ok, No Ceilings is probably my favorite mixtape all time.

With this talk of Pac and Biggie... You know what? I've come around, and now I think Biggie INDEED set up Pac to get robbed in the lobby. It's just too obvious. Or at best, he knew he was going to get jumped, and didn't get involved.

Basically, I am part of the problem on this.

No one is saying Pac was Nas on the mic with the bars, but to say he sucked is just wrong. Lyrically Pac was more poetic and a better writer overall than nearly any traditional "witty" rapper.

Agree, ty man.

Not to be insensitive, but had Wayne died like 4 or 5 years ago, this generation of kids would probably look at him as their 2Pac or Biggie right now.

I'll be honest I'm not like super into rap and I mostly just listen to mainstream albums usually.

I admit he has fallen way off but I really liked his old stuff.

I'm open to other mixtape suggestions if people want to give them to me.

But to me No Ceilings is my favorite mixtape so far.

Wrong .... completely wrong. Maybe you would be right if a certain % of fans had no idea of how to tell decent shit from legendary shit.

Then again, maybe you are right. And that would be scary shit to think Wayne is on Pac or Biggie level.

I can't stand Lil Wayne. Question-why should we care about a rapper that's in a hospital? What good has he done to society to warrant such news?

It's not that he was on the level of those guys, but he was popular enough to become incredibly overrated had he died in his prime.

even if he dies nowthey still will.

in rap, death instantly puts you to GOAT status.

Yup. But it would've been insane had it been just a few years ago.

Anyway, good luck Weezy.

He's right. In fact, if he dies they will still probably exalt him to a level he never deserved. But that's what happens when celebrities die young.

I don't wish death on Lil Wayne. I've never liked him or his influence on hip hop, but that's no reason to wish a person was dead.

If he does die, however, he's going to be immortalized.

Really never liked you as a poster. But welcome to the Frey. If you shall be eaten, then so be it. Also you do not deserve Daniel Craig as your avatar. Take it off. Roger Moore for you.

Pretty much what I thought you mean't, and I agree. He could easily have slipped into that status. The times we live in would accommodate such bullshit.

Can't argue at all, this is exactly what would happen.

Lots of people enjoy his music and would be saddened to hear that the man who created it died. He is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, so of course sites/threads dedicated to entertainment news are going to make a big deal out of the fact that he may be on his death bed.

Would you not want people to report that Daniel Craig was on his death bed if that was the case?

People seem to ask this every time a celebrity is in poor health or has died, but some people out there simply care a lot about entertainers they love. Might seem silly to you and I, but it is what it is.

And I don't like Wayne much either, but he is pretty damn popular.

You're questioning why there is discussion when a very famous person is in the hospital, possibly near death?

so he should just die?

No one should die at 30 from seizures(not that there is a good time to do so).

Dude is well known so obviously there would be a thread on it.

Don't like it...don't post in it.

Like c'mon.

Because a large amount of society seems to like him (or his music) and he has some influence and whatever he does will make news. Whether you like it or not, it is what it is. I don't know why you're actually asking this question. Fame = some relevance news-wise.

Why would we care if you were in a hospital? We wouldn't, your family and friends may care, but society wouldn't. Hence fame, he is famous and one way or the other people will talk about this. Thanks for participating.

There's this thing, it's called having Fans. You get them when you appeal to many people in a musical genre. So like, when you become the favorite artist of many people, they, like, care if you're about to die.
So then, just because you don't like the artist doesn't mean other people don't, like, care. Y'know?

Fuck. Off. Get off this thread if you really don't care.

I still listen the The Carter 1 and 2.

i remember really disliking the last Dedication that came out last year, almost hating it.

But I remember listening to tons of the Drought that had "sky's the Limit".

Fair enough. And Riggs-I don't give a fuck if you like me or not. I didn't come to this website looking to make friends or not
