you dislike it, thats fine. you dislike it. we all have different tapes in music. but to say the dude sucks, i have no respect in your music opinion at all.
Dr. Carter is great if you look at it from the perspective of him making fun of himself. Him schooling anyone on rapping is a fucking joke, and a hilarious one at that.

Phone Home is a song with terrible lyrics, a mediocre (being nice) beat, and a god awful and obnoxious hook.

Misunderstood is a disgusting appropriation of a Nina Simone sample.

The lyrics:

"what's understood ain't gotta be explained
but you don't understand me so let me explain
stood in the heat the flame, the snow, please slow down hurricane
the wind blow, my dread swang
he had hair like wool, like rain (huhh)
dropping ashes in the bible
i shake em out and they fall on the right fool
scary, hail mary no tail fairy
all real very, extraordinary"

Seriously? Soooo deep. If you want to see the same sample put to decent use check

Tie My Hands is an awesome track, the lyrics are a little silly sometimes, but otherwise, very solid track.

Understand his metaphors? Who doesn't!? The only thing I don't understand about his metaphors is why he even bothers with them. Do you really think "wet like new rain" improves the song any? Great lyricist? "Work you out like bowflex" "tight like a pussy" Seriously? How about I write a song for him included are the metaphors "i'm hot like coffee" and "ice on my wrists cold like milk". While we're on the subject of lyrics, anyone want to explain to Wayne that a period isn't VD? "...venereal disease like a menstrual bleed". Also, the making up words "hayve...oops I meant have", "haybit...oops I meant habit", "sherbert him...oops I meant shame" shtick wasn't clever or cute the first time he did it, let alone the third. When you get out rapped by Kanye, something is wrong.

Either way, I wouldn't go as far as to say the dude sucks, there are certainly much worse rappers. By the same token however, I wouldn't scoff if someone said he sucks, because the fact is he's walking that fine line. If you lose respect for my musical opinion that's fine, I'll just have to keep in mind that you love Wayne like a fat kid loves cake, to use another deep metaphor.
