Eminem’s thoughts on Lil Wayne


Get ready to enter the Em Zone. Back from a three-year hiatus, Eminem is set to grace two XXL covers for the magazine’s June issue on stands May 5, two weeks before Em’s fifth solo album, Relapse, hits stores May 19. Em recently spoke with XXL about Lil Wayne and other rappers.


Speaking to XXL Mag, Eminem said:
“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any names, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”

  29. lil wayne is the fakest, most sorry excuse for a hip hop artist there is, prime example of a faggot ass. Anyone with a grade 4 vocabulary could make better lyrics. He is single handedly destroying what little is left of hip-hop, not that mainstream “hip-hop” has anything to do with whats real. Look up Jedi Mind Tricks or Ras Kass, Jeru Tha Damaja, MF Doom, GZA, theres about a million artists out there that deserve about a million times more respect than this. Notice how the only people that listen to this garbage are suburban white kids who are wanna be thugs. Bumping this shit in the hood is a good way to become the laughing stock or catch a few in your dome. What is this queef, 5″? My sister could take this fool out.
