ok first off, he is a lyrical genious... second and he clainms himself the best rapper alive since the best retired...(jay z)...and third it is more like birdman rode his coattail to the top...if it wasnt for wany. baby wouldnt be shit. he has a unique style, alot of diff meanings in his music...and u tell me one single rapper right now who is putting out as much stuf as much stuff as him and being recognized for it. He IS at the top and there is a reaon for it! stop hating mark and hog just because u dnt have the million of dollars and love from so many people as he, instead u shoud\ld congradulate his success as you should do with any other man or female alike who makes it like Wayne did!. just posting this thread shows utmost immaturity, u know the sayiing if u dnt have something nice to say, keep to yourselves, period!
