No, I've said in other threads, for me some of those artists get by on nostalgia. I've never liked Snoop or JayZ. I just prefer my rap to be about the lyrics and the rhyming more so than the beat.

And by rap I meant he has the ability to rhyme. 90s music told a story or wrote songs about something. You can argue Lil Wayne does that too but it's to a way lesser degree. Just look at the verses of 90s rap compared to main stream rap today.

It's not about the rhyming anymore. Mainstream rap today is about making pop music with a rap delivery for a large audience. It's fun, party, and fantasy oriented (for the average blue collar american).

Comparing Aesop to Lil Wayne is like comparing apples to mashed potatoes.

ok maybe we're just different cause to me jay-z in his prime could out-rap aesop any day of the week. if you say he can't tell a story then i'm unsure who can. maybe you don't even understand the lyrics that you say are garbage because they're so embedded with slang and terms that you don't understand.

The sentence following the snoop/jayz comment had nothing to do with them. I don't understand why your nagging me. I simply do not like Lil Wayne, I think he is a bad lyricist. If you find his lyrics appealing or clever than have at it.

I know slang talk. I've been listening to rap for as long as you've been alive. I also live near where a lot of those artists are from..
