Not really these days. Its become quite the thing to not only like lil wayne but also credit him as the greatest troubadour of modern hip hop. In my observation, its become cool for kids who are into basically rock, noise, hipster drone to be into f. baby. These kids don't know really anything about hip hop and don't care to, they only want to mess with wayne. They will say its because he's the best, but if your rubric is weezy vs. the radio, then yeah, ok, sure he's better than that.
essentially, these people pretentiously read non-pretentious magazines and music articles and take every word as concrete truth. They forget this all opinion based and are satisfied by reading the hipster bibles (Pitchfork, The Wire, etc..) and following blindly.
Lil Wayne has become to the people as Outkast was in the mid to late 90's: The only hip hop artist that predominantly rock fans would listen to.
So, if you like Wayne and don't like any other rap, then you are walking the tightrope of coolness.
