The Literary Genius of Lil Wayne: The case for Lil Wayne to be

The Literary Genius of Lil Wayne: The case for Lil Wayne to be counted among Shakespeare and Dylan

Kreston Kent's literary analysis of Lil Wayneâ€™s lyrics shows that Wayne is, in fact, "the best rapper alive." Called a â€œthorough and incisive proof of Lil Wayneâ€™s geniusâ€ by critics, the book shows that Wayneâ€™s lyrics have more in common with Shakespeare's and Dylan's than with other rappersâ€™. Kent, who attended college alongside Lil Wayne, compares Wayneâ€™s lyrics with those of 103 other top rappers, showing Lil Wayneâ€™s usage of literary devices to be far superior and in a category of its own. Songs analyzed span what Kent calls Wayneâ€™s most intellectual periodâ€“2007 to the present. The Third Edition includes Lil Wayneâ€™s own reaction to the book, analysis of data from a Finnish university's computer rap algorithm, similarities between Wayne and Lincoln as writers, a definitive ranking of Wayneâ€™s albums and mixtapes, and analysis of Weezyâ€™s latest output: Tha Carter V, Sorry 4 The Wait 2, Free Weezy Album and No Ceilings 2.
