Can we all agree that Lil Wayne is probably the most marketable rapper ever ?

[usmarin3]

That's because he is a fucking poser.

Tupac is the most marketable rapper ever and it reflects in his sales. Lil Wayne hasn't even cracked 15 mil in total sales, dudes like Pac, Em. and Jay has outsold him 2-3 times over.

He is the black Fred Durst!

I call him a poser because he goes wherever the hot spot is to stay relevant. First he was a crip, then a blood, then a rocker, then a skateboarder, now he is emo. Dude has no identity as a artist, but we know why he is doing this shit. Lil Wayne has no lane in all time greatness, he will never be looked at like the artistic genius like Kanye is, he will never accomplish what Em and Jay has, so he goes to these extreme shit (fake rockstar) to stand out. That's just my opinion though.

Yes LiL Wayne is one of the most marketable rapper ever.....unless you count Emenim

He is the most "accessible", and his image is fashioned in a way to make him relatable to people who might feel alienated by a rappers music.

Bi-racial, Bi-coastal, Bi-sexual.

Tupacs Black empowerment themes hurt his marketability, Biggies physical deformities hindered his marketability, JayZ's age, Nas complexity, etc.

Drake is also highly marketable with his mulatto-metrosexuality.

Lol I'm a wayne fan but t/s don't know what marketable means....

Justin Beiber is marketable, diggy simmons is marketable, drake is marketable, shit bow wow more marketable than wayne....

What's the last commercial or movie you seen wayne in? They would have to cgi his tattoos out and shit...

 

[Meet The Sniper]

I might have to agree. Wayne get's love from everywhere. White folks love him, hood niggas still check for his shit, the college kids, the internet haters and supporters alike.

Gotta have the most diverse fanbase out except for maybe Jay.

Wayne is pretty marketable..u dont sell 1 milli a week in Hip Hop without being pretty popular with everyone...

 

[DatNiggaB1]

Drake way more marketable IMO.........

 

[CapitalC]

I just saw wayne in a converse commercial .....

never seen it but you can't market wayne to people who watch the 4th hour of Today show...

He appeals to the masses of hip hop fans but...he not gonna have as many oppurtunities outside of music like will smith, common or even drake.

 

[CapitalC]

Ok we do all know what marketable means right?

 

[H-Rap 180]

Drake way more marketable IMO.........

Exactly that's why I mentioned Drake.

Drake is "soft" enough to market himself to females but has enough edge to maintain a huge male fan base...not too street to scare away endorsements and not too soft to be labeled "PoP"....half-white, half-American, Half-rapping Half-singing.....I'd sign him over LIL Wayne if I'm an exec.

his marketing reach is for rich folks fam .... wayne is within grasp of the gutter while having a grip on suburbia and skateboarders who enjoy listening to c4 on the ride to school with their parents who sip caramel latte's ...........
