We keep wanting to hate on Lil' Wayne for his consistent battle cry of "Best Rapper Alive," but then he goes and makes tracks like this that keep us hitting repeat. The tinkling piano is a light and fitting backdrop to Weezy's reminiscing, and the "La La La" chorus -- were you expecting something else? -- is one of the catchier hooks we've heard in a minute. While we're not thrilled about him rubbing his ten-speed, scooter and skateboard in our face, his lyrics are sincere and his flow is, as always, intoxicating. We're not quite ready to agree with his boasts, but let's just say we're listening.
Meh. I don't get the hoopla with Weezy, he has a couple of decent tracks but 'Most Overrated Rapper Alive' is more like it. How can you be the best alive without even one classic album?

^Like I said, he's not wack, it's just that he's far from the 'Best Rapper Alive' in my opinion. He's good, I'm not gonna deny his skill, I just think he's overrated.The state HipHop's in nowadays makes people surprised when someone actually has a fresh flow, complex lyrics and dope beats. That shouldn't make you special, that should be required to grace a mic. And until dude has a couple classic albums where he does that front to back and is innovative too I stand by my claim that he's overrated.
J To The A.A.P.
I understand that about the classic albums. but if nobody else's flow or beats or lyrics are as good as his, doesnt that make him the best - maybe not alive, but at least among those working today?

Yo Lil Weezy Is Not That Nice......His Flow Is Not Fresh.......It's A Watered Down Jay Black Album Flow (maybe even BLUEPRINT 2.1...)...His Lyrics Aint Complex.....Honestly He Cant Even Hang Lupe Fiasco And Thats A Better Jay-Z Rendition That Waynes.....(Lupe In Fact Is Jay Circa Reasonable Doubt).....IMO I Can Mimic His Esact Flow And Then Some....But that Opinion.... And Like My Nigga Said "Give a Nigga A Whole Lot Of Drugs And Send Him In The Booth Alone, He'll Think He Ripped It Every Time"
JiMMY S.
LOL Lupe Fiasco ? Hes had like 1 song that people know of....KICK PUSH HAHAHA that can't even compare to some of weezy's worst songs....and come on now if you can mimic it then do it! do it and become a world famous rapper and be rich......

weezy is hot not gonna lie. but there are a good amount of rappers out there with just as much talent..maybe not with the crazy beats tho. La lala lalalalalala

JX
I think this song is brilliant. The beat reminds me of some classic Jay. Dont hate on wayne cause he aint brilliant, in his way hes prolly doin the best shit he can do, and its good, you gotta give credit where credit is due and Weezy is on his grizzle. there is no doubt about that in my mind. 1 hundid

Lil' Wayne's cry of "Best Rapper Alive" is partly true. It's more like "One of the Best Rappers Alive" He's good. But he IS for sure the best rapper in the NO.
Bryce
lil wayne is one of the freshest rappers alive..so to all the Haters! STOP HATIN!! cuz hes doin his thang.
Desman
on the real lil wayne is the best rapper alive cus he freestyle all his raps. he said he don't touch the pad unless its 4 some1 else. who u know confident enough 2 freestyle everything and sound better than some of them idiots writin they stuff and have other people write 4 em. and dont even bring up guille da kid cus even the hot boys who beefin wit lil wayne said he aint never needed a ghostwriter. listen to the metaphors on the carter 1 and 2. everything from the carter 1 (which he said is when he feels like he perfected his craft) is a freestyle. lupe fiasco says he'll sit 4 maby an hour writin a single verse. i'm not sayin he aint good cus he definitely 1 of the best and i dont feel like he'll be as under rated as common and a lot of other alternative rappers and i even heard him freestyle and it sounds like he don't really need 2 write his stuff down either but in the end lil' wayne really kills it wit the metaphors. i think he was more lyrical on tha carter 1 and he might have dumbed it down a little and maby it was the production but somethin he did for the carter 2 really made him better. it sounds more like unstructured like a freestyle and i think thas what captivates people. on the other hand jay-z is good but i heard him mess up on that dear summer freestyle. and none of his freestyle compare 2 lil wayne's. also i heard lil' wayne dis jay-z over the ether track and i i really dont think jay-z has the best disses either. he can claim he ends careers but in the end he's only the best cus of the same hype lil wayne get. nas has better dis records. ether and his 50 cent dis out do any of jay-z's dis (super ugly was pathetic) but in the end its plenty of underground rappers that r way better than alot of the mainstream artists anyway so does it matter?

You guys are incredibly shallow and uneducated when it comes to hip hop if you think lil weezie is the greatest. There can be no greatest hip hop artist because the competition to become the greatest is what keeps them making dope music; no one can actually be the greatest. BTW if you think his beats are sick look at jedi mind tricks or cunninglynguists.
Tom
LIL WEEZY IS THE BADEST MOST PEOPLE R HATING BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO FREE STYLE AND RAP OUT OF THE HART IF HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF TO BE THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE THAN LIT IT GO. I BET IF YOU WHERE FAMOUSE LIKE HIM YOU WOULD HAVE AS MUCH CONFENDENCE AS HIM
EBONY
Wayne's the s***...this song's tight as helll
Drew
Lil Wayne is good ... I mean sick alrite .. But greatest ???
let's not sweat the extent of his talent
He is one of the only artists with a different tune, sound, flows when it comes to hip-hop but like it's been said before ...
50 Cent was once classified as the greatest rapper alive and so was Jay Z and the rest of 'em
But @ the end of it all ... There are even greater rappers out there on the streets, on stages in gigs and even in you than most these commercial starz
So, who is the greatest rapper alive ?? ... Def. none of these dudes , they are only for the heat of the moment , and NEVER for the heat of a lifetyme
Engineer
damm lil wayne kilt it in dis song

Lil weezy is the best and whoever mentioned andre... Hes the ish 2 cuz mike tyson loves custom models. One more thang jay z fukin sucks
Snapshuan
weezey f baby is the best rapper alive one question........who's better?
wordword
lil wayne is da best rapper alive f u haters
Weezy
Engineer has probably got the most truthful view on this shiii right here. One has to listen to every rap song on earth to be able to even make a judgement on the best rapper alive. Try to make the false statement that weezy is the best and be confronted with the truth that he isnt even the best (but part of the most talented) of the most comercialized artists out there, artists exist everwhere that have have beats that can take a person's mind on a journey through the universe without even making him leave his couch. The underground is coming with the real story on rap, flows that can impress include :immortal technique,benefit,mf doom, jedi mind tricks, ill bill, these are just to name a few of a couple different genres.

naw i wouldnt say hes da best rapper alive but he iz hard

Niggaz Say Mad Sh*t About how underground rappers do this and that but reguardless you can't measure a rappers skill by publicty. Every rapper was underground at some point in there career it's the effort you put forth to get on as a mainstream artist don't get me wrong I know alot of niggas that go super hard on the mic and are still waiting on that big deal to come through. Yes labels want marketability but lyrics and versitility are qualities they look for also. There's a group in my city that spit the truth on every song they do (West & Stewzy) (facin'20 Records) Check them out on Myspace but Sony and Atlantic Records got them on hold over Regional Marketability. So therefore for Lil' Wayne to say he's the best rapper alive is truly an understatement He has benn Grinding for over 10 years staying relevant and versitile which is very hard with all the one hit wonders and fad songs i.e. "snap music, crunk, and whispering songs". Through all this Bullsh*t Weezy can get on a Track with Artist from Jay-Z to Enrique Iglesias and still have the same Flame And Delivery. For people to say he's not the should be blasphemous to the art form of hip-hop Name the artist that have the range tha he has to collaborate with anybody and still get love from his/or her true supporters Micheal Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, Bono, Carlos Santana, and Beyonce. Notice that none of the artist Named were Rappers Weezy Crosses over lines that other niggaz are scared to cross and he murders the sh*t reguardless it could be a f*cking nursery Rhyme and my nigga is going to put so much flavor on it the sh*t is going to be sicker than a nigga with full-blown A.I.D.S. So in Closing I say Think that Weezy Ain't The Best then Climb to the top of the platform and knock him off and stay there for more than 10 years. I'm only 18 and this dude will probably still be relavant when my grandkids get old enough to type realtalk. So keep Hatin that nigga cause the more you hate the more he's going to scream that he's The Best and the more people are going to listen. So if You hate Him Shut the F*CK UP and maybe he'll stop saying it. Nah I Doubt That Sh*t.

Lil wayne is the best and most consistant rapper to ever do it yes over both tupac and biggie. AND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY better then Jay Z no disrespect to any of them but wayne do it better then them all
LIL wayne is good he has a very great flow no one can deny that he also has more songs then jay-z and 50 cent put togehter like he isnt doing to try n get rich cause over half his songs are mixtapes that u dont have pay for he is just the best he is all i ever listen to ihave of 400 of his songs find 401 50 cent songs for me. U cant touch weezy
Reppin one seven
idn what ur saying the east is just as real as the west n south my home town south philly is aobut as real as it gets

yo hes pretty good and the only reason hes big right now is because there really is no other competition for him, making him the undesputed "best." I dont think hes better than some old school dudes like Biggie or Pac even though he claims he is, and i think that even though he doesnt have that classic album that dropped and everyone bought, he has constant mixtapes made and tracks put out there without it being on a CD, and hes making these mixtapes while compiling songs for his next CD, Tha Carter III.

Weezy great, but def not tha best. lupe fiasco jay z tha best. weezy has good style, hot sh!t. but fuccin lupe is changin the game and jay z will always be the best rapper alvie... untill he dies. then lupe.

oh yeah and his lyrics are definately not all that great at all, if you think this then you ridiculous. he must be using a rhyming dictionary cause some of his rhymes are whack. DADDY DADDY DADDY, rhyming daddy with daddy numerous times is not skill. listen to lupe lyrics and just listen. great lyrical skill same wit sean carter.

firstly wanye aint garbage buh his rymes is simple nd he jus raps random sh!t hes ova rated wat needs ta happen is errybody need ta stop riden his nuts nd listen to sum real artists lik lupe...kanye...jay-z...juelz santna...fabolous...and ppl lik that
blk supa
Ya I guess we should start listenin to all those real artists ..... ill give it to kanye and lupe but
lil wayne gon and done tracks with juelz, jay z, and fabby and to tell you the honest truth he lyrically murdered them on the tracks ... not to say theyre bad but when u put rappers on the same tracks as weezy they are never lyrically better or really even that close
plus hes 26 and has probably more songs than lupe, jay-z, and kanye put together
ya..... real obvious he aint the best alive lol ya he is all u r hella funny
show sum respect

Whether he's from the south or not, whether you guys are listening.. lil Wayne didn't change the game, or bring anything new. Haters dont help him nearly as much as the bottle of cough syrup. However I can still appreciate somebody's music despite the fact somebody has put a sickening claim on them. Best rapper alive.. Jesus was put up with a hammer and nails, but nails in a coffin leaves less room for martyrs. Put that much hype on somebody and your bound to change them for the worse.

i dont hate lil wayne cuz hes from da south, chamillionaire from da south, but i aint hating on him! waynes just gone commerical. yall say his lyrics r deep or wateva, ROFL it aint. PERIOD his lyrics r maddddd whack, they dont make any sense at all, no effin meaning. i dont see why yall like him... listen to ppl with real talent: nas, chamillionaire, papoose, eminem, T.I., young jeezy or kanye. lot more too. weezy used to be ill, with his underground shiit like da drought 3 and stuff, but hes gone commerical, so FCK HIM NOW! lmao

mook
ITS THE RAPPER EATER!!!

U CANT C ME
Yo Lil Weezy Is Not That Nice......His Flow Is Not Fresh.......It's A Watered Down Jay Black Album Flow (maybe even BLUEPRINT 2.1...)...His Lyrics Aint Complex.....Honestly He Cant Even Hang Lupe Fiasco And Thats A Better Jay-Z Rendition That Waynes.....(Lupe In Fact Is Jay Circa Reasonable Doubt).....IMO I Can Mimic His Esact Flow And Then Some....But that Opinion.... And Like My Nigga Said "Give a Nigga A Whole Lot Of Drugs And Send Him In The Booth Alone, He'll Think He Ripped It Every Time"
JiMMY S.
LOL Lupe Fiasco ? Hes had like 1 song that people know of....KICK PUSH HAHAHA that can't even compare to some of weezy's worst songs....and come on now if you can mimic it then do it! do it and become a world famous rapper and be rich......
mook
weezy is hot not gonna lie. but there are a good amount of rappers out there with just as much talent..maybe not with the crazy beats tho. La lala lalalalalala
kylw
lol honestly lupe fiasco really sucks..and weezys rhymes are very complex..i think you need to throw in the carter 1 or 2 and just listen.
kyle

His mixtapes are classics!! C3 is going to be nuts!! weezy is the best rapper alive and anyone who dosen't think so is a fuckin hater. Wayne puts more music outthan any other rapper AND MTV named him the #1 MC alive!
JX
I think this song is brilliant. The beat reminds me of some classic Jay. Dont hate on wayne cause he aint brilliant, in his way hes prolly doin the best shit he can do, and its good, you gotta give credit where credit is due and Weezy is on his grizzle. there is no doubt about that in my mind. 1 hundid

weezzzie f baby my flows is so tight i know im right i dont have to right i a flame God but in a light dont forget to capitilize the g in God and the g in Ganster im that also a player put this on ya track my flow is enough to fill a track and things going down my way that when your feeling like dieing its high day except my ryhmes rhimmming.

ayo **** all dat **** wayne a beast. his lyrics nd beats kill it. people try to deny it but diz manz takn da game ovr.
RAFA ju diggz?
Lil' Wayne's cry of "Best Rapper Alive" is partly true. It's more like "One of the Best Rappers Alive" He's good. But he IS for sure the best rapper in the NO.
Bryce
lil wayne is one of the freshest rappers alive..so to all the Haters! STOP HATIN!! cuz hes doin his thang.
Desman
on the real lil wayne is the best rapper alive cus he freestyle all his raps. he said he don't touch the pad unless its 4 some1 else. who u know confident enough 2 freestyle everything and sound better than some of them idiots writin they stuff and have other people write 4 em. and dont even bring up guille da kid cus even the hot boys who beefin wit lil wayne said he aint never needed a ghostwriter. listen to the metaphors on the carter 1 and 2. everything from the carter 1 (which he said is when he feels like he perfected his craft) is a freestyle. lupe fiasco says he'll sit 4 maby an hour writin a single verse. i'm not sayin he aint good cus he definitely 1 of the best and i dont feel like he'll be as under rated as common and a lot of other alternative rappers and i even heard him freestyle and it sounds like he don't really need 2 write his stuff down either but in the end lil' wayne really kills it wit the metaphors. i think he was more lyrical on tha carter 1 and he might have dumbed it down a little and maby it was the production but somethin he did for the carter 2 really made him better. it sounds more like unstructured like a freestyle and i think thas what captivates people. on the other hand jay-z is good but i heard him mess up on that dear summer freestyle. and none of his freestyle compare 2 lil wayne's. also i heard lil' wayne dis jay-z over the ether track and i i really dont think jay-z has the best disses either. he can claim he ends careers but in the end he's only the best cus of the same hype lil wayne get. nas has better dis records. ether and his 50 cent dis out do any of jay-z's dis (super ugly was pathetic) but in the end its plenty of underground rappers that r way better than alot of the mainstream artists anyway so does it matter?
1life
DUDE COME ON LIL WAYNE IS Aa beast and hayez need to stop real talk

You guys are incredibly shallow and uneducated when it comes to hip hop if you think lil weezie is the greatest. There can be no greatest hip hop artist because the competition to become the greatest is what keeps them making dope music; no one can actually be the greatest. BTW if you think his beats are sick look at jedi mind tricks or cunninglynguists.
Tom
LIL WEEZY IS THE BADEST MOST PEOPLE R HATING BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO FREE STYLE AND RAP OUT OF THE HART IF HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF TO BE THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE THAN LIT IT GO. I BET IF YOU WHERE FAMOUSE LIKE HIM YOU WOULD HAVE AS MUCH CONFENDENCE AS HIM
EBONY
Wayne's the s***...this song's tight as helll
Drew
Lil Wayne is good ... I mean sick alrite .. But greatest ???
let's not sweat the extent of his talent
He is one of the only artists with a different tune, sound, flows when it comes to hip-hop but like it's been said before ...
50 Cent was once classified as the greatest rapper alive and so was Jay Z and the rest of 'em
But @ the end of it all ... There are even greater rappers out there on the streets, on stages in gigs and even in you than most these commercial starz
So, who is the greatest rapper alive ?? ... Def. none of these dudes , they are only for the heat of the moment , and NEVER for the heat of a lifetyme
Engineer
damm lil wayne kilt it in dis song
Tyler
Lil weezy is the best and whoever mentioned andre... Hes the ish 2 cuz mike tyson loves custom models. One more thang jay z fukin sucks
Snapshuan
weezey f baby is the best rapper alive one question........who's better?
wordword
lil wayne is da best rapper alive
f u haters
Weezy
Engineer has probably got the most truthful view on this shiii right here. One has to listen to every rap song on earth to be able to even make a judgement on the best rapper alive. Try to make the false statement that weezy is the best and be confronted with the truth that he isnt even the best (but part of the most talented) of the most comercialized artists out there, artists exist everwhere that have have beats that can take a person's mind on a journey through the universe without even making him leave his couch. The underground is coming with the real story on rap, flows that can impress include :immortal technique,benefit,mf doom, jedi mind tricks, ill bill, these are just to name a few of a couple different genres.

naw i wouldnt say hes da best rapper alive but he iz hard

Niggaz Say Mad Sh*t About how underground rappers do this and that but reguardless you can't measure a rappers skill by publicty. Every rapper was underground at some point in there career it's the effort you put forth to get on as a mainstream artist don't get me wrong I know alot of niggas that go super hard on the mic and are still waiting on that big deal to come through. Yes labels want marketability but lyrics and versitility are qualities they look for also. There's a group in my city that spit the truth on every song they do (West & Stewzy) (facin'20 Records) Check them out on Myspace but Sony and Atlantic Records got them on hold over Regional Marketability. So therefore for Lil' Wayne to say he's the best rapper alive is truly an understatement He has benn Grinding for over 10 years staying relevant and versitile which is very hard with all the one hit wonders and fad songs i.e. "snap music, crunk, and whispering songs". Through all this Bullsh*t Weezy can get on a Track with Artist from Jay-Z to Enrique Iglesias and still have the same Flame And Delivery. For people to say he's not the should be blasphemous to the art form of hip-hop Name the artist that have the range tha he has to collaborate with anybody and still get love from his/or her true supporters Micheal Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, Bono, Carlos Santana, and Beyonce. Notice that none of the artist Named were Rappers Weezy Crosses over lines that other niggaz are scared to cross and he murders the sh*t reguardless it could be a f*cking nursery Rhyme and my nigga is going to put so much flavor on it the sh*t is going to be sicker than a nigga with full-blown A.I.D.S. So in Closing I say Think that Weezy Ain't The Best then Climb to the top of the platform and knock him off and stay there for more than 10 years. I'm only 18 and this dude will probably still be relavant when my grandkids get old enough to type realtalk. So keep Hatin that nigga cause the more you hate the more he's going to scream that he's The Best and the more people are going to listen. So if You hate Him Shut the F*CK UP and maybe he'll stop saying it. Nah I Doubt That Sh*t.

U cant touch weezy
Reppin one seven
idn what ur saying the east is just as real as the west n south my home town south philly is aobut as real as it gets

yo hes pretty good and the only reason hes big right now is because there really is no other competition for him, making him the undesputed "best." I dont think hes better than some old school dudes like Biggie or Pac even though he claims he is, and i think that even though he doesnt have that classic album that dropped and everyone bought, he has constant mixtapes made and tracks put out there without it being on a CD, and hes making these mixtapes while compiling songs for his next CD, Tha Carter III.

zigg baby lil wayne is the best rapper alive

Wayne is good but hes far from the best, Jay and Nas are still in the game and there are lots of others just as good or better than him in my opinon

i'd do him

Weezy great, but def not tha best. lupe fiasco jay z tha best. weezy has good style, hot sh!t. but fuccin lupe is changin the game and jay z will always be the best rapper alvie... untill he dies. then lupe.
A-bOmB204
oh yeah and his lyrics are definately not all that great at all, if you think this then you ridiculous. he must be using a rhyming dictionary cause some of his rhymes are whack. DADDY DADDY DADDY, rhyming daddy with daddy numerous times is not skill. listen to lupe lyrics and just listen. great lyrical skill same wit sean carter.
A-bOmB204
wayne is the best rapper
lou
his lyrics is off tha chain
$F-Dawg$
firstly wanye aint garbage buh his rymes is simple nd he jus raps random sh!t hes ova rated wat needs ta happen is errybody need ta stop riden his nuts nd listen to sum real artists lik lupe...kanye...jay-z...juelz santna...fabolous...and ppl lik that
blk supa
Ya I guess we should start listenin to all those real artists ..... ill give it to kanye and lupe but
lil wayne gon and done tracks with juelz, jay z, and fabby and to tell you the honest truth he lyrically murdered them on the tracks ... not to say theyre bad but when u put rappers on the same tracks as weezy they are never lyrically better or really even that close
plus hes 26 and has probably more songs than lupe, jay-z, and kanye put together
ya..... real obvious he aint the best alive lol ya he is all u r hella funny
show sum respect

Whether he's from the south or not, whether you guys are listening.. lil Wayne didn't change the game, or bring anything new. Haters dont help him nearly as much as the bottle of cough syrup. However I can still appreciate somebody's music despite the fact somebody has put a sickening claim on them. Best rapper alive.. Jesus was put up with a hammer and nails, but nails in a coffin leaves less room for martyrs. Put that much hype on somebody and your bound to change them for the worse.
Laughin
i dont hate lil wayne cuz hes from da south, chamillionaire from da south, but i aint hating on him! waynes just gone commerical. yall say his lyrics r deep or wateva, ROFL it aint. PERIOD his lyrics r maddddd whack, they dont make any sense at all, no effin meaning. i dont see why yall like him... listen to ppl with real talent: nas, chamillionaire, papoose, eminem, T.I., young jeezy or kanye. lot more too. weezy used to be ill, with his underground shiit like da drought 3 and stuff, but hes gone commerical, so FCK HIM NOW! lmao
get real
I love Lil Wayne. He is self-proclaimed as the best rapper alive and he really is. LIL WAYNEEEEEEEE IS DA Sh!% hoe! :)
