“He’s not the most lyrical dude,” MTV News senior writer Jayson Rodriguez admitted, defending Waka’s place on the list. “But these joints, they’re ubiquitous. You can’t go places without hearing ‘O Let’s Do It.’ You hear it everywhere.”
Lee felt that Waka’s music, because it’s so hard and so raw, hits listeners in a way that B.o.B’s shimmery pop tunes can’t. “You hear the B.o.B records, and you’re like, ‘I like that. It’s cool,’ ” he said. “But it doesn’t bring out the passion.”
They ranked this guy over B.o.B? Sheesh.
