*This is just a reponse to people in general*
Why can't a brotha shine without getting hated on? Nas, Biggie, Jay Z... heck even DMX had their time to shine. Yall are forgetting something here. IT'S THE NEW GENERATION PEOPLE!! Which means new audience and style of music. Whether you think Hip Hop is dead or not, I think it's evolvling. Just like Rock N Roll evolved to different genres such as Punk, Heavy Metal, and Soft Rock just to name a few. LIVE WITH IT! I know I don't wanna hear the same type of songs made over and over again. I'll get sick of it! Some of yall may grow up not wanting to hear the old music your parents be listening to. It's the same shit right now. But as you get older, you learn to appreciate it more.
So stop hatin and live with it. Aint no one threatening you to listen to what you want to listen to.
P.S. I've been DJ'n for over 7 years now and I can't even name an artist who's been featured in so many songs more than Lil Wayne has. In my opinion, he's on the top of his game right now. Some may think his music is garbage, but, define garbage. What is garbage music and why do people listen to it? DEFINE that for me please cuz I don't know what garbage is.
