Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
It's best to give you some examples.
Crafty lyrics
A Milli (amazing freestyle and delivery)
Hustler Musik - (great compostion and arrangement of lyrics)
I Am Not A Human Being (a song that only he could make)
Feel Me (hard lyrics)
Let The Beat Build (hype lyrics, over a simplistic beat)
I Like The View (abstract lyrics about emotions)
Lil Wayne has never been a same flow different beat artist. He adapts. Not many rappers do this. Also not many rappers have the ability to rap over simplistic beats for five minutes.
Musical
Lollipop (this beat was originally for Danity Kane and it got turned down, and Lil Wayne smashed it)
Da Da Da
Die For You
Paradise
Lil Wayne doesn't just have music that fits the lyrics. He has beats that compliment the essence of what he is trying to get across to the listener, painting a picture. Not many rappers do this.
Features
No answer about Lil Wayne's lyrics would be complete without a YouTube video of Lil Wayne features,
2009 Best Lil Wayne Features
[video removed from youtube]
And here is the best Lil Wayne verse for Dey Know remix.
How many rappers do you know who could deliver all of types of songs? Lil Wayne varies his song and doesn't come off with the same flow different beat like most rappers.
Some people dismiss his music as rubbish due to his lyrical content, without taking the time out to appreciate his lyrical prowess.
