What the hells up with Lil Wayne? Seriously is he really good and I just don't know it. All this Lil Wayne love has got me confused. :-/ Auto Tune Hypnosis perhaps?

I agree. I don't know or care or understand Lil Wayne. Then again, I really do not care about most things in the hip hop genre of the musical sphere.

great list Spin!  

As for the Lil Wayne - it is one of the best hip hop albums I have ever heard!  If dear science didn't come out, it would be everyone's #1 for sure!

I want our boys to cover Lollipop sooooo bad. nothing would be greater!

Fleet Foxes? Pah-leez! They're not that great. They're just a bunch of MMJ wannabes. I can do what they do! And their lyrics suck. Sorry, I just don't find stealing tunes from Golden Axe and pumping it up with reverb very creative.

Maybe you should start doing it then. Just a thought... ::)

I would if I actually found that kinda sound appealing.

Lil Wayne sucks and Lollipop is one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

i used to hate on Weezy too...then one day it just hit me.  Kinda the same way MMJ one day just hit me.  He's fuckin' brilliant - and people are starting to catch on.

agreed on Lil Wayne being brilliant, however i thought Carter 3 wasa little of a letdown but that was b/c the wait was so long, i just don't think it lived up to it's hype.  it still is a great album though.
