I think that Wayne is hot, but hollow. He can spit a ridiculous verse that just ends up being amazing, but I don't think he's as skilled as he should be to be a ten year vet. At best, he's an ordinary rapper with extraordinary style/charisma. In the <a href="http://www.4thletter.net/2009/01/top-8-of-08-mixtape-interlude/">mixtape post</a>, I go into it a little bit more in #3. I haven't listened to any Weezy songs, barring the occasional feature and Lisa Marie (which is super hot), in months. I don't lose any sleep over that.

He’s on a track with three of the hottest rappers out, though only one of them is really all that talented..." This piqued my interest, so I gotta ask: What's your take on Lil Wayne, particularly Tha Carter III? It seems like everyone either loves it or hates it, and that comment leads me to think that for you it's the latter. I guess I'll wait to see the rest of your list. “Even though I basically hate the word swagger now, T.I. comes on stage with extraordinary swagger.
