Even though he said this, I’m quite sure he knew what he was doing. People say dumb stuff like this in their music all the time. Rappers especially. I’m no fan at all of this clown but this is common and this mistake.. not even a mistake.. fad..or whatever they call it is done by so many people its unbelievable. SO who cares.

…niggas…

Its called “wordplay” thats what rappers do, it was pretty tight actually and he does it alllllllll the time soooooo….?????

the author of this FAILS!!!

look i like weezy f baby the dude is just being artistic with his lyrics get off ‘jerry’ damn why does everything that a black rapper say have to be so educational, people over 18 understands it, for those younger and can’t buy his music in the stores maybe you should explain to them but adults realize that wayne music isn’t suppose to teach them the ‘correctly spoken language’ HELLO is rap, thats street music, language, we get it

wait does ph not make an “F” sound? And who really sits here and breaks down lyrics like that for it to make an difference,I mean when has hip-hop have anything to do wit S.A.T. ,cuz if i’m not correct hip-hop is bout freedom of self,so thats what he is doing, so ya’ll sucks let it be, and get ya boxers out ya ass, tight-ass uppedy corporate fools, ya’ll are the reason why rap is so commercial now,and the reason why so many fake rappers now,instead of real rap we got fifth million little sucks coming out talking bout the same thing !

wayne said weezy F baby and the F is for phenomenal.THE LETTER F IN THE NAME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, my bad that should be spelled PHAIL then…

Niggas!!!!! learn something about the hip hop culture first and how the artist use of wordplay came about.This s**t use to be fun and creative..did people forget that?

Sounds bad and I think he’s going overboard on the wordplay these days, but you dont have a credible case here guy. Given that fact that Wayne talks slow, is a drug head, etc. he still happens to be pretty smart intellectually being an A student in grade school and even going to college on the humble. He does shyt like this all the time on purpose just because umm he’s ‘Lil wayne’ and he knows he can get away with such things…

Wow, Tril you are really making no sense. You say people don’t break down lyrics but then complain that rap is commercial. So we shouldn’t talk about it and keep letting b.s. get play?

wordplay? wow… “And to the radio stations, I’m tired o’ being patient
Stop bein’ rapper racists, region haters
Spectators, dictators, behind door dick takers
It’s outrageous, you don’t know how sick you make us
I want to throw up like chips in Vegas…” THAT is wordplay. This is just dumb.

wayne is horrible

FYI: The guy did say this, “Shawty got me weak like the weekend over.”

Doesn’t make sense. Wayne is not always on point. End of discussion.

@solsa if you want to talk about the CULTURE, there used to be standard between a FREESTYLE and a written rhyme. In a rhyme cipher off the top this line would be HILARIOUS, but if you are really putting time into something this would get you laughed at. The problem is that MCs have gotten so lax that this free-flowing style is becoming the norm and they wonder why sales are in the toilet. Kane once rhymed (jokingly) that if he “farted on a record best believe it would sound good,” but now cats are farting on records for real.

Well Weezy lovers and even the none lovers, the world of hip hop/rap (if you want to distinguish the two) has moved from the shock of using curse words-to degrading women-and now word play is what the topic is about today…hmmm let me see. I’d of course say that Weezy must of been in the booth for an awful long time, ALL night, so he probably got that “sleep” rap going on, in which he probably missed that in the editing or something…lol..jk…but seriously, we have Gwen Stefani who spelled out “Bananas” in her song ‘Holla Back Girl” and knowing how young kids hear EVERYTHING now a days, it probably helped them on a spelling test..lol…although Wayne didn’t spell out Phenomenal for anyone…there are young kids out in the world, who we all know, listens (somehow someway)to his music. Most young kids won’t know any better when they go into class and spell the word with an ‘F’ instead of ‘Ph.’ What they will know is, is that Weezy said ‘F is for phenomenal…now we’ve begun an uproar of a mess in the world of spelling, because unless you know everything your kid…or even some adults who don’t know…listens to…they’ll spell words the way a music artist would…

This one is just FUNNY to me… Who breaks down lyrics? HUMMM! “Beat Zombies”… This is a battle loss in the game…. I’m all for wordplay but this would cost him the night…I still give Weezy F. Baby credit for being skillful overall, they are all entitled to say something dumb from time to time…. Laugh and move on…

That s**t is WACK!!!!

You Know what F**K what everybody says about Lil Wayne.I love this nigga,and YES he is the BEST RAPPER ALIVE! No one can even come close to f**kin with wayne. Oh and mr.BarrowJ06 F**K what you takin about.

LMAO!! Yeah from an intellectual standpoint a definite FAIL. But the ignorant masses won’t care tho

This song straight not a lil wayne fan he sucks to me but he gets money!! but def not the best alive Andre 3000 got that nig by a long shot

look he bit his style from some underground cat and now its catching up to him. thatswhat happens when youre not original. and as for the angel chick who says he’s the greatest alive…….i think Nas,KRS One and a s**t ton of others have something to say about that. wessy sucks

and yes i said wessy since he cant spell

With the exception of G8ldenRHOad and ikidas. ALL OF YOU FAIL!!!
First off , I am by no means a an english scholar however im smart enough to know NOT to post comments on someone who makes RAP MUSIC. I mean seriously how old is hip hop, what 35-40 years old? RAP started in the streets by who? uneducated poor people who used what limited vocabulary they had to play words games, and for what? bragging rights to say ,im better and or smarter than you . BACK IN THE DAY WHEN YOU WERE POOR ,ALL YOU HAD WAS A VOICE, and to make yourself sound better than someone else gave you those bragging rights..
Now This lyric posted that everyone is so critical of is nothing more than a metaphor who he is as a person what the F stands for as far as HE is concerned, just like he is compairing him self (again metaphorically) and how big he does things using the term astronomical. so really ,since when did rap become a target for grammar scrutiny? He is a millionaire so someone is buying it ? How about writing about the mathematical errors done by these corporate execs who put our country in terrible economic state we are in? instead you write about people who other than short term entertainment have absolutely NO significance to this country ..

…you DO know that Drake writes all his s**t now that Gillie Da Kid stopped doing it…

Mwhahaha!

LMAO i noticed that when i first heard the track like two-three months ago. “THIS NIGGA CAN’T SPELL”!! And what the hell is “Bruce leespn”??

I think this article is a joke, yeah he miss spelled the word but what about fabulus having the whole world misspelling fabulous, come on now, now that he is has had a great year all the haters want to come out. He’s a great rapper, and he took hip hop and placed it on his back and put it on a whole new level.

A play on words, isn’t that part of rapping? Like he’s the only one that has done it…

ya’ll wild if ya’ll think he don’t know phenomenal don’t start with an f….that’s a rap…you don’t have to be gramatically correct.

waynes an idiot, i dont think this is wordplay i really think he is just that stupid…

I think the author of this is ing awesome… HAHA i hope lil wayne loses all his fans LMAO

i agree but wayne b so gone off da cocaine he dont care wat come out his mouth but he could rap forever and still not touch Jay-z i just think with all that money youd think that he would take his azz bak 2 school

Are you Serious? Weezy knows phenomenal does not start with a F. you all know he says s**t just to clown.

_Cet-Mo_ thank you for being the only one on this page with some sense and for others do your homework cause he does go to school in the great of TEXAS baby UofH and holds a higher GPA than a majority of y’all HA HA… dumb asses

I think that the f for phenomenal was actually brilliant it makes you think. poetic license that works. It would take an ignorant person not to get that …. get it?

i’m not worried about what the man said, i’m seriously wondering how the new york hater put it out there like it was a career ending statement. America has become a classroom and j barrow was the snitch that told on us for passing notes lol

lil wayne has no lyric can’t not tonch biggie or kool g rap

While I cant be considered a lil wayne fanatic, he is ok i guess but it is simply called poetic licenses, I think you should get lyrical content from half the joints out there u will realize most lyrics are not grammatically or phonetically accurate but if they were the beats to most joints would suck.. i.e early Jigga would drag on a syllable just to keep in rhythm.

Now everybody knows how my gets down….like he said in his other song, he likes to be misundastood. 4 all u illiterate creatures dat agrees wit dis hatin azz dude, let me break it down 4u.. “F” has the same sound as “PH” or should i say “PH” has the same sound as “F”….if u didn’t know, now u do.

yall all r being fooled dude is a clown a fake a fraud his lyrics is wack and anybody can talk dat slick s**t but who can spit hot versuses wit real life lyrics and teach lessons and promote change be intelligent speaking plain english cool and street at the same time da king Ti often over looked because of bubble gum fanasty world rap how many people can truly say they relate 2 what weezy be spittin anyone. naw cause he from mars lol get real Ti da best thang smoking. and no im not a hater but real always can spot real

I’M PRETTY SURE HE’S AWARE THAT PHENOMENAL IS NOT SPELLED WITH AN F…HE PROBABLY JUST SAID IT CUZ IT SOUNDS GOOD
OR MAYBE HE JUST MEANT CUZ THAT’S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT’S AN F SOUND

I LOVE HOW MUCH TIME PEOPLE PUT INTO TO HATING WAYNE…
LAMES KEEP IT UP.

i still can’t see why people think that this fag is a good rapper,, yeah he good if u 13yrs old.. any man over 25 that have a wayne cd need to be shot in the f**kin face….lol

lets c oops i just use a one letter word that means i used 3 letter word oops i used a number i’m (i) am not trying to defend wayne like his music im 29 and have a wayne cd i also have gucci t.i luda jay z but i feel we waste important time on trivial issues the only reason i even blogged this was cause(because) of the shot in the face statment which does not by far hold any weight to how we should act when i was a lil(little) younger i wild out now im talking its(it’s) a difference

Lil Wayne is a GREAT rapper…. All you need is a studio, a gimmick, and a following to be a rapper these days. But a lyricist he is not. I want him to take up Mos Def on that Million Dollar Bet…. OMG it would be an embarrassment. Mos would MURDER that fool…. and I’m a Weezy P Baby fan! And the P is for Fenomenal. LOL!!!!!

Here’s lesson for today. We you hate on someone it’s spiting venom(negativity) saying things that are somuch true. However when the truth as a consensous is spoken, because,well, it’s true it’s not hating. Any who, why is this an issue? It’s his feeble attempt at cleaver word play. Whatever! I’m not a fan of his. I actually wish he would shut the f!?ck up. That’s all I have to say regarding this a’hole. Oh wait,he’s way over rated

Oh please….are u kiddin me?! Its a fukkin song. Sounds to me like waynes just got some more haters, and that is called hatin. Im sure he knows how to spell..its all show biz.
And plus what the hell else is gonna rhyme with astronomical.
And as far as Im concerned his sexy ass can spell s**t any which way he pleases as long as he dont stop droppin them albums.

That was a hot ass track…and ya
ll are just hating. I dont think he meant it literally people

[...] greatest this” and the “20 worst that” so it feels natural. I love to take jabs at songs, trends or antics that I think are either dumb or will stimulate conversation but there is no fun [...]

omg did you know phenomenal doesnt start with a F…like come on people dont put gay stories like this up if its not something big like true haters this is just a waste of internet space
