    • What did i keep saying, well not out loud any way. Lil Wayne is the renaissance man of hip hop. Bringing in new people who were sick and tired of hip hop and the gimmicks.

      His word play at least has galvanized hip hop.

      -Just my opinion cause i know Hip Hop lovers are like hate, hate, hate on Lil Wayne. Thats cool.

      But 8 Grammy awards means something.

      Well done Wayne. Congrats from the UK!!!!

      -Cant believe he did a show here just recently and i missed it. Argh!!!
