      1. he did what again, you idiot? won the opinion of a few people? you commenting on this first is like wayne’s importance to hip hop: it doesnt matter and no on gives a fuck.

        also, it’s kind of hard NOT to win this award when you put out 1000 sub-par (still being generous here) songs, compared to a handful of well written tracks. this dudes gonna disappear by mid-2011.

      2. Look I like Wayne too but come on song writer of the year that definatly belongs to nas he’ll the verse Wayne has on nas and Damien ablum is way better than what he has on drakes these shows are utter garbage

    1. HAHAHAH your gonna sit there and tell me that little muppet baby is is a better writer than nas? hahaaaaa thats just 1 out of 1000 rappers i can name are better rappers. Dude uses that lame ass rhyme scheme “fuck models pop bottles” in all of his songs. hes whack as FUCK the most overrated rapper EVER

    2. I saw some wack ass Drake bullshit video the other day that has wayne on the track and the rhyme went something like; “i’m a ground hog about to pick up the ground ball”…. lol now this nigga winning awards for his song writing. FUCK OFF if u down wit wayne and cash money, U WACK faggot motherfuckers checking for nikki minaj rhyming about boys and shit “Wave on swim so they hate on him” lol, u some straight faggot ass niggas. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO RAP When this piece of shit who used to have the wack ads at the back of the Source mag is your so-called number 1? Fucking rappin computer thugs, stick the hard drive in your ass, computer love. AND FUCKING RIGHT I’M A HATER, don’t shit on my sandwich and call me a hater cause i don’t wanna eat your bullshit.

    3. all I hear wayne is wack, he cant write better than NAS. hey FYI its about writing songs not battling. damn yall ignorant. yall want freestyle battling lyrics go to the street or whatever. this is about writing songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. LMAO @ u thinking this STUDIO GANGSTA can has good songwriting ability. I bet u also think Rick Ross is the realest rapper ever too lol

        F.U.C.K. this fake azz punk

      2. Hey numbnuts NaS has not battled or freestyled in years prolly. he hasn’t had the need. he’s all into musical ventures n shit. like that gay ass project with damian marley earlier this year. he is not about battling and rippin tracks like that. he is into writin deep songs (most times) and constructing flows and ideas to pre-selected beats nowadays. he’s all about the message and intricacies. not like ya boy weezy, who’s on some getting blasted in the studio, shitting four bars shit, which at this point is just rehashing shit he has already done and chopping it up, and then recording himself touching hisself. (see the tracks da da da or knockout from rebirth). wayne is sad now.

        AND NEFFITE U AN UNEDUCATED UNAWARE HIP HOP SCUMBAG-HEAD

        STRAIGHT MORON.

        YO? WAT U NIGGAS THINK OF MY ROLLS IN THE MOVIE PRECIOUS?

    4. Are u serious lol

      If this clown gets songwriter of the year award then I know Hip Hop is in the dumps. Get this studio gangsta the fugg outta here.

      1. No u dum nigga LOL @ u. Now go suck that Studio Gangstas dick pussy.

        La la la lollipop LMAO get that soft shit outta here. I bet u think Drake is a Mobster too.

        hahahahahahaha

      2. with the logic of most dumb niggas, if you aint into corporate control and manipulation you a “hater”
        well in turn to this weak argument the needs to defend your favorite rapper makes you a “gay dick rider!”

    5. Im suprised that wayne helped write on both best i ever had and successful, the man knows what sells even if it is bubblegum like

      1. Yo Kaycee yo homo ass nucca:
        Wat u think of my rolls in the movie Precious?
        BUy it today for a menial $19.99

        yo broke tight pants beyotch

    6. wow are they serious???

      for two years hes one this award. wow people don’t know what good songwriting is anymore if this is true.

      EDIT: well looks like BOOM BOOM POW got song of the year. lol everybody i know hates that garbage.

      what a joke BMI has become.

    7. This is obvious not based on actual talent. This is based on how popular the songs released were. Lil Waynes songs were very popular even though they were lyrically infantile and other wise flat out garbage. Then they gave Boom Boom Pow song of the year and this was actually my least favorite song on the whole BEP album. But again, it was the most popular so it wins an award. I have said it before and I will say it again. People constantly mistake popularity for talent. This is why Gucci Mane is considered a beast by todays standards.

    8. Hey, my 5 year-old cousin wrote a story about dinosaurs and probably deserves the award more than this dumb nigga does. It’s like the world is throwing cookies at a retard that they feel sorry for lmao

    9. Hasn’t he… like… not released much on account of the whole “I’m currently in jail” thing?

      I didn’t know you could be songwriter of the year with guest spots recorded last year.
