We won’t fall for the Weezy hype. We ALL KNOW he is far from the best rapper alive regardless of his Tupac-ian output…

“tupac-ian output?” -esbee

whatever! i’m a fan and not even worried about dumb shit like greatest or best..thats a matter of opinion..u might hate it but i (along with MANY others) love it..if u not feelin it costs u nothing just pay him no mind!

that Weezy hype comment just adds to the hype. even haters have to keep sayin his damn name…does his name taste like ass when u say it? ;)

@ Anonymous:

I’m a hater ‘cos I don’t believe what you and the rest of the young hip hoppers who think weezy is the second great coming?

Gettheheckouttaherewiththatbullcrap..

why don’t you just post your real name as opposed to hiding behind nothing and making rants you don’t even believe. Yes its a diff of opinion. I never said weezyana wasn’t talented. I don’t get it with you young hip hop fans. Someone says they don’t believe the claims your fav. rapper makes and all of a sudden you’re a hater?

“If I don’t like it don’t mean I’m hating” (c) Common…

Gettheheckouttaherewiththatbullcrap again….

I know cats that’ll rap circles and thermometers around Weezy and don’t get the shine they deserve. So miss me with the out of pocket commentary.

Damn, anon just got sonned.

Also, is it me, or is JT (Justin Timberlake, not the other JT) doing cameos on like every rapper’s album?

“young hip hoppers who think weezy is the second great coming? ”

one i’m not young so u can stop with the “you young hip hop fans” two i never said weezy is the greatest but thats a common mistake u and many others make whenever someone says they like/love wayne.

u take his braggadocio way too seriously..lighten up alittle..its really NOT that serious.

i wasn’t callin u a hater. i said “even haters” if ur not one then dont take it personal.

“anon just got sonned.”
^u another one takin shit way too serious.

and how many ppl really post their real name? were all anonymous on the internet anyway but since anonymous bothered u i wasted an xtra millisecond this time typin in a name just for u.

Surrreeeeeee…..

What you said and I quote, “that Weezy hype comment just adds to the hype. even haters have to keep sayin his damn name…does his name taste like ass when u say it?”

now you’re backtracking acting like you didn’t try to throw a jab in there…lol. Man up and admit you implied I was hating cos I didn’t share the same sentiments about your beloved Weezy. I didn’t even diss the dude..I actually believe he’s got potential, even the owner of this ‘ere blog will tell you that..but you’re anonymous so who cares?

On the subject of your age, frankly I could care less if you’re a grandfather or whatever but dissing a person just ‘cos they don’t share your opinion on an artist or thing is the most incredibly juvenile, childish thing to do esp. when its about a rapper who kisses his non-biological “father” full on the lips..

Miss me with all that again.

Sorry Riz, but some of these dudes just talk anyhow…
