During his promotional tour for Tha Carter, Lil Wayne did the prerequisite media rounds at MTV2 where host Amanda Diva praised Weezy for his lyrical prowess. Normally, you could chalk the compliment up as your standard veejay dribble, but the Def Poet Ms. Diva was genuine and sincere. Since the release of Tha Carter in 2004, the former Hot Boy has launched a concerted effort to smash all preconceived notions of him. During the South's recent champion run in hip-hop, elitist media types have indiscriminately sipped on the haterade when it comes to the lyrical ability of Southern artists.
