Lil Wayne is an idiot!

"Greg Oden is a bust. He's gotta show me something, man. I don't get it. At what point in time was he dominant? I've never seen it. You've never seen it. Maybe NBA officials know something we don't. That's all I can figure. Maybe somebody on that staff has seen something we haven't. But until he shows me something, I'm gonna declare him a bust. Damn shame, too."

[sas]I officially declare you a bust! [/sas]

 

[THE HCP]

Garbage! How can ESPN even give that scrub a podium to speak on?

 

[illmatic99]

Weezy = garbage. Straight up garbage. He's killing hip hop.

How the fuck did he get an ESPN gig?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

His music is pure garbage. I have no idea why he's popular.

 

[alex42083]

Lil Wayne? lol... who the hell cares what he says. I bet he's one of those bandwagon Laker fans.

 

[LittleAlex]

Now that we know what Lil' Wayne thinks, shouldn't we check with Kid N' Play, Chris Cross and The Game to see what they think?

ESPN, where people who don't know shit give their opinions.

 

[THE HCP]

If they really want a good opinion, ask........... Common, The Roots, De La Soul, Eric B. & Rakim, Tribe Called Quest, Nas............... that's REAL hip-hop!

 

[e_blazer]

I'm guessing one of "Lil" Wayne's girlfriends gave him his nickname.

PS I only watched a few minutes of the national championship game last night but saw a few very nice moves that people have been saying oden does not have. He had a great banking hook shot from 6-8ft out over horford that looked easy as pie. When he gets his lungs/legs back his game will come a lot easier. Being out of shape throws everything off for a bball player... TRUST ME, I know this from experience!

I dont listen to hip hop anymore, but back in the day I used to love BDK!

 

[BenDavis503x]

LOL wow you guys have no clue about rap or hip hop. Wayne is on top of the game right now. His new album is amazing!!! I never was a Wayne fan till The Carter III - that album is amazing. Lyrics are incredible. And he FREESTYLES everything he raps. His entire album.

You old men have no clue about hip hop. Please don't comment.

Good. I dont want to "have a clue" about hip hop anymore.

Nice addition. The list would be way too long of real hip hop.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Hip-Hop has been dying a slow death since the late 90's...

And I'm not old, I'm in my 20's.

Back to the topic, it's too early to declare Oden a bust.

 

[Natebishop3]

Bust eh?

I love your blanket statements. You have no credibility if you think that bullshit he is pumping out is "hip-hop". It might be considered "rap", but that my man is not "pure hip-hop". That is MTV crap that is pumped out over the radio and forced down the throats of people everywhere. That is the type of shit music that most people associate with the term "hip-hop" and that is sad. I respect any type of music out there and my tastes range from Miles Davis to Led Zeppelin to Rage Against the Machine to Biggie, so don't come on here and tell people to not comment. And take it easy with the "old men" statements. There are quite a few artists out there around my age of 35 who are doing their thing in the industry.

I'm looking forward to the release of the new Dre album. The new Eminem album could be good too. People like Lil Wayne have completely turned me off rap. I can't think of the last time I actually went out and bought a rap album. Maybe it was one of the 2pac albums that they released a few years ago.

Here's the difference between lil wayne and what was once a great form of expression. Hip Hop used to tell a story. Used to have soul. It was a form of poetry. What is it now? Dance music. It's no different than any of the other R&B that comes out today. The only difference between an R&B singer and a rapper is that the rapper thinks he's hard and tries to play himself off as a badass.

I challenge you to post any of lil waynes music here. One of us will post something that will beat the living shit out of it.

See this is what I'm talking about. All that crap that's being played on the radio is doing what you just said. Turning people away. There is still great hip-hop out there. Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Lifesavas. Trust me there is still quality out there, it's just being overshadowed by the mainstream bullshit!

Here is one of my favorite Wayne songs right now. Post a song that you like that is similar, lets be honest with each other and say what one is better. Don't get me wrong... Wayne is not close by any means to my favorite rapper... but his new album deserves respect... and this song is DEF hot. It is calm, serious, emotional (not your typical stupid ass club song. I HATE club songs) this is a good track. If you can't feel this track... damn, I dunno what to tell ya.

I'm happy Lil Wayne is so free with his opinion. I look forward to bumping this thread when GO is putting up a double double with 2-3 blocks per game in a couple of months. And speaking of busts, how soon before someone busts a cap in Lil Wayne's ass?

Don't get me wrong fams... I hate the radio too. I don't listen to it. I am just saying that there is still good hip hop out there besides all these old rappers you listed. You just have to find it.

Now that is uncalled for. We do not wish injury on other players in basketball. Why wish death upon a rapper? Come on man... :smh:

I think the national perception of Oden on draft day was he was going to be a franchise type player until proven otherwise.

Now I think the national perspective is Oden is a bust until proven otherwise.

The media can be very fickle, but I wonder how many Blazer fans would be thinking the same thing if Oden was with Oklahoma City. Let's face it, if we drafted Durant, and OKC drafted Oden, we would be laughing at OKC, saying told you so and KP would be promoted from being referred to as a genius to a witch.

 

[robb01]

I def. agree

Hmm... I don't know that I agree with this. Pritchard might be given props, but I don't think that anyone on the planet would blame the Sonics/Thunder for taking Oden at #2.

Heck... I don't think that many people are really blaming the Blazers for taking him at #1. It's still just so early in his career and he's not even 21 yet...
