A good way to explain why wayne is so great is comparing him to RZA. Jay-Z's moment of clarity explains my perspective on that comparison.
Im also gonna quote slug: ""Half them rappers that consider themselves underground rappers fucking suck," Slug says, while reflecting on his underground icon status, during a recent Toronto promotional appearance.
"And that's why you're underground. That's why nobody's ever going to hear about you. Learn how to get better before you take shots at Sage Francis or take shots at MURS for doing what he's doing, or take shots at me. Get the fuck out of here with that.""

And with shit like wayne that gets those bitches in a good mood, you really can't look at it so deeply. Remember rap these days is also a show and a performance, it's not Strictly 4 My Niggaz shit.
I just simply accept wayne for what he is, i dont really care what people think about him, I'm just a recovering hater trying to help people stop hatin.

I'm not sure I understand any of those comparisons. I'll listen to Moment Of Clarity and get back to you on it though.
The Slug one I'm totally lost on, especially with him talking about Sage and such unless you're trying to say being mainstream is okay.
