yeah i feel that he can shut down some other dudes from the south because his style is not as basic and repetitive ahem, (lil jon, d4L, franchize boyz, crime mobb) all those guys are really basic. lil wayne is a lil more "outside of the box", i like his style

Here's my list:

Diddy/P.Diddy/PuffDaddy
Yung Joc
Young Dro
Lil Flip
Most of the people on G-Unit Records
Many southern rappers (Lil Jon,
Cam'Ron
..........
Actually about 90% of the rappers that came out in the mainstream since 1997. There's only like 2-3 few handfuls of rappers that came out that are actually good.

Lil Wayne is. He has the look, the beats, the personality and he has that rap image downpacked!! The girls I know love him! But lyrically, his rhymes lack substance. For example, "black peter pan, fly til i die..."

need i say more? LOL
