Tom thinks lil' Wayne is great when he is on? ugh

[jbissell]

Wyclef hasn't done much good since the Fugees.

Fixed. 

Wyclef is one of the worst rappers ever.  You, Trembling Eagle, have not a leg to stand on.

thats laughable
I'm not sure  if I'm talking to a rap fan here, and I hate to assume and judge
but your comment leads me to believe you don't know much about rap.

If you're one of the fans of Wayne then go look at the song he did with Clef and compare that to the versions Clef reworked live
and learn something.

If you guys want to support people based on fashionability and hipness at least admit it like Ian did.

I guess I don't hate to judge THAT much
lol

What is your basis for claiming that Wyclef is a great rapper? I can't really say I've heard enough from him to declare him one of the worst, but I certainly have never been all that impressed with him.  Also, just from various sources over the years, it seems that the general consensus on him is that he's a terrible rapper; I really can't think of anyone critically defeding him this decade.

The third page of this thread has gone off the rails.

The third page of this thread has gone off the rails. 

Yes, a stark contrast between this dreadful page and the other two pages of utter brilliance.

This is the guy who also said all of hip-hop fell off in '97 fyi.

This thread further proves my theorem that he suffers from some manner of brain malady, it's the only explanation.

I never said he was great, personally I think he's a very decent technical rapper but shines especially with his talent in composing songs and beats and is very proficient on the the guitar and keyboards which leads to him doing a live show which is more than 10 dudes screaming with a DAT tape backing.  

If we're talking artistry and musicianship and craftsmanship when it applies to rap  or pop rap music
I think that puts him heads and shoulders above lil Wayne.

I'm not even the worlds biggest Wyclef fan I just felt it was fairer comparison for me to make to the Wayne fans since they are similar vein of the pop rap world, I can see the argument someone might make that a Doom or Paul Barman are are almost in a different subgenre AND THEY DID SONG together so its really simple for us to compare and contrast

Now of course people have different taste but this one is simply come defend your guy
here are the two people I'm talking about on the SAME SONG

[Trembling Eagle]

I'm accounting for taste differences
but is there Any room in music to be critical on a technical level?

I'm asking the Wayne fans to defend him as an artist for something other than fashion
