Lil Wayne is classified as the best rapper alive. The music that Lil Wayne produces is rap, hip-hop, and even sometimes R&B. When listening to his music a lot of the time it is not very positive. The mood or emotion that is evoked while listening to his music is hate, love, drugs, sex. A lot of the time in his music there are also many other good emotions. Some of his lyrics are about how he feels guilty for not being able to support the victims of hurricane Katrina and some things that he regrets. If I were to compare Lil Wayne’s music to other rappers I would say that his music is much more REAL than others. He actually writes his own lyrics and sings them himself, while some artists get their music written for them like Kanye West. One of Lil Wayne’s songs that is memorable for me was “3 Peat”, this song was memorable for me because it talked about helping some of the victims from hurricane Katrina and that changed my impression on him as a person because it showed how much he cared about his home state and about people in need. When reading some reviews that other critics wrote about I found that a lot of people wrote about how good the album was but I found someone who thought different and he made some good points on how Lil Wayne’s album wasn’t that good. For one he said that a lot of his songs are about nothing and just spit out words randomly and just simply had no meaning, and if I think about it I kind of agree. His songs just have catchy words and a nice beat which draws people into his songs. In my opinion about Lil Wayne I would have to say that he is a good rapper and his album is worth buying. I like his songs. They are catchy and most of them have really funny lyrics and he makes fun of many different artists and actually makes some good points about them.
