All Things Considered, Where Does Wayne Rank All-Time?

[LandryFieldsDad]

if we are being really real here..
wayne to me and a lot of others was the wobbley wobbledy rapper.
he kinda reinvented himself and had an impressive little run.
that run though,..was mixtapes where he was rhyming over other peoples beats. you could argue that it didnt result in a quality studio album.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Legend.

He's the GOAT.

He did have some other studio quality albums though, right? Where do those albums take him?

nikkas always try to act like Wayne made some epic impact on Hip Hop. Who has he influenced? What has he contributed to the scene?

He's a decent artist but he's overhyped

 

[Pool_Shark]

Top 10

 

[YourMajesty]

He made "Stuntin Like My Daddy" that alone makes him top 20 to me

 

[ROFL_GUY]

wayne is in my top 20



fireman still goes hard. i remeber wtachin that vi with the fellas and tellin him hes going to be THE biggest thing in rap till the



rap god returns

 

[hotbeezie]

Top 10 IMO.


I can't think of too many who was relevant in the past 10 years that ain't work with wayne.
A lot of cats hate for the sake of hating

I don't even like the nikka and he's at least top 25.

 

[nairdas]

Top 10, really. If we were just talking pure skill then he wouldn't even be top 25 probably, but just impact on the game as whole? Yeah he is top 10. I mean he has birthed most of these rappers these days and that speaks for itself. He did 1mil in a week.. twice. Dude was/is powerful as hell.

 

[mr.africa]

somewhere in the top 50-100. no trolling!!

here is my thing.

over the years i've read many critic-made and fan-made GOAT lists and never/not once have i seen him near the top ten.

he is usually on the top 10 now/currently/this year - lists, but he is nowhere near the top 10 OF ALL TIME/EVER - lists!!!!

that to me says a lot about where people see and place him in the grand scheme of things as far as hip hop is concerned!!!

 

[notorious8562]

He would not make my top 100.

 

[Dwight Howard]

top 10. you dont have the inluence he has being an average rapper.

Wayne's legacy is weird to me. I grew up a hot boy/lil wayne fan. I was done with dude by 500 Degreez . Even made fun of my cousin for copping the first Carter. Then outta nowhere he just blew the fukk up and became that nikka. Thing is....where's the definitive moment? He just guest rapped and mixtaped his way to the top but does he really have a consensus classic on his own like all the other guys you consider greats? When you really look at his catalog its kinda underwhelming. You damn near have to piece together the highlights and create your own projects with him because there's so much material.But you cant deny for a few years he was running shyt.

I can see where purists would say fukk this nikka, but no way I can leave him out of my personal top10. He somewhere near the bottom but he in it. I've been listening to this nikka for too long to say he not top 10, especially when they're dudes who I may have fukked with for an album or 2 and then completely ignored. Wayne been in rotation on some level for about 15 years. That gotta mean something.

I don't know... but I don't get mad if somebody puts him in their top 10.
