    some bad and/or misinformed posts in here.

    there was a very vocal contingent of rap fans who hated wayne during his prime. they were mostly a coalition of "real hip-hop" conservatives and eminem fans.
    it wasn't a gimmick--he was the best rapper alive.
    what? this isn't true at all. sure, there were people who thought "lollipop" was lame, but he was rapping incredibly hard at his commercial peak.
    again, this is objectively untrue.
    *makes jerking-off motion with hand*
    if other people affect how you appraise/enjoy an artist's work, you're lame
    kendrick is not and never has been as good as wayne was in 07.

    I know he got a lot of hate for being considered a "sell out"

    Wayne entered the rap game with harsher lyrics, talking about drugs, violence and the street life in general. After he gained the fame he has now, he changed his subject matter to softer lyrics.

    Also for some people Wayne represented everything we hate about rap nowadays. The senseless lyrics, the colorful clothes, the weirdness..

    Those of us who grew up listening to 90's rap, we had different standards for what it is to be a rapper and a man.

    They're different nowadays. You can't understand them? Well, that's normal. While you were small and listening to rap, did your parents understand why were you listening to those badly mannered thugs? Times are changing. For good or for bad, they're changing.
