The Best Rapper Dead.

Yeah I said it. Yeah, I know who the fuck I am talking about. The nigga you kids worship. The nigga you stay tryin to imitate, steady tryna duplicate. The nigga that stays in ya stereo, the nigga that spits at the click of your internet page, the nigga that you try to joc ya swag from. Ha, yes. Dwyane Carter, Lil wayne, Weezy, Weezy f. Baby, F. Baby, Mr. Carter, The Best Rapper Alive. Scratch that. The Best Rapper Dead. Don't get me wrong, I jam weezy. But for him to be one of my idols, or for me to try n joc his swag by titling myself b.weezy, or b.carter is personally degrading to myself. I am a lover of hip hop. Not just the sound, but the message and culture. Common. When I listen to this man, I am informed of what is going on in the world around me. My intellect is being stiumlated by his metaphoric messages. This is the sound I love. This is the melody that causes me to stay faithful to hip hop. Common is mostly positve, though I don't know him personally, I never read any negative statements, or see him conducting himself in a disgraceful manner. He seems like a gentleman yet strong. Weezy f baby, as you guys like to call him... this nigga is slowly killing himself and doesn't even know it. Yes he is lyrical talented, I am no hater, nor am I knocking his gifts. But why doesn't he embrace his talent and allow it to take him to possibilities he never even dreamed of. Jay-z, Nas, Andre 3000, these niggas not only made bread while they killed the rap game, these niggas have set a foundation in life. I don't know their personal business, but I doubt they have stooped to the levels of lil wayne. Some know, some don't but Lil wayne is a drug addict. Not just a weed head, like some people think. This nigga regularly, and I mean regularly sips on codine. He also snorts a lot of cocaine. If he only knew what he was doing to his body and how slowly he is killing himself. Why? Its like dude, you are an investment in life yourself. You have fans, family, finances and freedom. Why slowly take yourself away from all that? Why claim the title of Best Rapper Alive, hell nah not even claim it, NIGGA you demanded the title, and the listeners approved, yet you really should be ready to call ya self Best Rapper Dead. I am not wishing death, but the way we conduct our lives really shows what our futures maybe. Have you seen intervention? That shit is sad, and honestly makes me want to stay away from marijuana which is my drug preference. Though it may not have as harmful side affects as other hardcore drugs, it still kills the human mind. The mind that, if you studied it, you would be amazed at god's creation. They say the human mind is far more advanced than any computer and has the capacity to absorb 97% more information than what humans actually use. When I read these studies I was embarrased. Since we only use about 3% of our brains, I know by using marijuana for quite some time now I have only decreased that percentage. It really kills me when I think of the time I wasted not learning new things. I would have loved to expand my mind by learning new instruments, or a new language, or even read more books. I can't turn back, so I plan to just turn around. I am teaching myself to appreciate my mind as a gift from god. There are people that are unfortunate and have mental illnesses which brings them much suffering. They can never really live normal lives. I am not apart of that group. I have my mind, and it is healthy. I should embrace it and nourish it with knowledge. I am not dis'n lil wayne, hell I digg him in a weird kinda way. But he isn't making really wise decisions and the sad part is he is proud of this. I have a lil sympathy for those that I see on Intervention that feel bad about their habit, but when you can walk around promoting it and praising it, you have a problem. This nigga is proud of himself. He goes to his shows fucked up on all kinda shit and doesn't give a fuck. Cuz he can. Yeah that nigga can, but one day, if he don't chill he isnt goin to have the chance.

Im out. Its time 2 lay it down.
