talib basically summed up the rap game on the first part of the 2nd verse on memories live

Like thoughts out the back of your mind
Going back in some time
Like when you used to cut and had to go to the back of the line
Look back and you find
Tracks that make you relax and recline
Now cats rap about packing a nine
When they lacking divine
Inspiration
Running out of topics in conversation..

Some of the truest **** ive ever heard


VS...

Lil' Wayne: (Look, Look, Ah, Ah)
It's Cash Money, youngest nigga. Right around 10 figga's.
That's what I, uh.. work with. Pockets sho ain't hurtin.
Money is my purpose. Whatever I purchase.
40 G'z or better, Rol'e with the bezel.
Who that be? That's Wayne. Look at his gold chain.
Sometimes I wear gray. White diamonds, fancy shape.
My jewelry just feel awful,




I rock ice is just another forgettable track from trash rappers...Also notice these rhymes were written about the same time (1999-2000). With the way the industry is its no surprise who is selling a million records a week and who is considered a top lyricist on true hip hop heads lists

Very rarely do rappers change their subject matter. Come to think of it, i cant think of one major name in the game that has dramatically changed their subject matter. Usually the bullshit rappers continue to rap about bullshit untill someone else comes along and steals their short lived fan base, and the rappers that rap about real **** continue to do so, never sell a million in one week but have the same fans for decades. I am a perfect example, i bought it was written and illmatic back in the day and also picked up "hip hop is dead" the first week.

Note some wayne fans on here didnt know he had albums from late 90s

500 Degreez was weak. Wayne was what 17 then? 16?
