Video: Lil’ Wayne – Gossip (Live)

Lil Wayne debuted “Gossip,” supposedly off Tha Carter III, at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.

Weezy has his moments, but this is definitely not one of them, though you wouldn’t know it from the crowd’s reaction. After watching this video a couple of times, I still don’t understand how Wayne can be touted as the second coming of Rakim with an average flow and a litany of lazy punchlines.

“My flow’s sick, so sick it’s like my sh*t is dyin.”

Am I missing something here? Is there a special equipment in the market that might help me enjoy Weezy’s music like everyone else? Who knows, maybe my tastes are gradually evolving as I get older.

    FYI:Wayne freestyles! So some words in his lyrics might not “make sense” or even seem lame to a non-lover. But Wayne is on some new level, new breed shit and everybody is really hatin’ that. Just curious, who do you consider to be the best rapper alive? (whoever he/she is I would bet my life that Weezy would murder ANYBODY on a freestyle)

    The Greatest? Who cares! Hip Hop: it should be split up into two categories: Dance hits for the club and Lyrical hits. People get fed what they want to eat! Some people just listen to music for entertainment purposes. for example: to dance, to bang in their car, to barbque, etc. Nothing wrong with that. You cant say it is easier to dance to NAS than to soulja boy! Its just that the entertainment crowd outnumbers the lyrical crowd and businesses take notice. The reason why people like weezy is because he is in between. Catchy and somewhat lyrical. But not lyrical enough to deter from the entertainment. Ya dig!

    to add to the above: when we realize that the hip hop world is changing and that there are two different type of groups that listen to it, this dumb hip hop is dying crap will end. We forget that music can be a type of relief from the rest of the world and that some of us listen, not to analyze and see who can be lyrically the best, but to put away all that thinking and just bob our heads! Unfortunately like i said there are more who like it for its rythmn rather than its content. Nothing wrong with that.

    Yeah, I think it’s probably that your tastes are getting old. And also, if you pick that line to judge him on, then you missed half of the song.

    “Ok I spit that get back im intact in fact the authors authentic

    Are you slick like Syntec inject
    Even the paralyzed feel my impact as I..
    skim back over my word that on the page
    and lines I don’t write I get high and ignite
    I got a serious mental plan and dental plan
    and you dont wanna bring the giant outta the gentle man
    gee golly gigabytes an a gorillas hand
    to the side of a niggas face like I dont give a damn
    even if hes wit his mans an thems
    I put his plans and limbs all over his pants an timbs
    and.. I wasnt fortunate to grow up like The Sims
    but instead I blew up before I grew up (ha)
    I spend eight and put two up
    Cuz u never know when i have to do what
    Do when do who do you..and you too, and you too…woo hoo

    yes and I get on your nerves
    yes and I get on your nerves
    and sit on your mind like piss on the curb
    bitch bitch disturb.. me while im working king

    in the game shit i must be first string
    I like my tugs baggy an my turf clean
    check my pattern scheme
    i prolly have on rocks from the moon and Saturns ring
    out of whos badder give him a ladder
    tell them”climb on up here an watch me get at her”
    badder part about it is these niggas hate
    but you wont even get a bar on my mixtape
    im prolly on a boat feedin a bitch grapes
    and crepes…by the way thats french pancakes
    De colofrance’ tele bien
    Gods son ador shore le be’
    pardon my french pardon the stench
    but I.. smoke that grinch till my eyes till my eyes squinch
    I meant squint Im so bent
    like a dent but bitch im still wit Clark Kent

    And my mama used to tell me not to let nobody fuck wit me
    It stuck wit me i keep it real to the world publicly un.belie…veable oooh
    I said mama used to tell me not to let nobody fuck wit me
    It stuck wit me i keep it real to the world publicly un..belie..veable ooohhhh
    Then she said I love you and they hate ya an they jealous
    its all just a part of animal nature so son just watch your damn behaivor

    lmfao, that’s funny what dude said up top.. because Wayne’s lyrics are the truth. Folks are in here gossipping about a man who doesn’t even know they exist (I seriously doubt that he gives a flip) and a man whose still getting money at the end of the day. I AM NOT A WAYNE HEAD in the least, but yall don’t butter his bread, so relax. Gosh. *waits to be stoned*
