People in here ducking the question... we know that Wayne is probably the undisputed southern GOAT when you factor in sales, impact, and influence minus Big Boi/Andre.

But from a musical standpoint the nikka has been trash for around 7-8 years. He's had hits and plaques, but they're on duds.

nikkas like Ross have mixtapes better than Weezy's life since Carter 3. The man has fizzled out...

I don't even give a fukk about albums anymore and FWA was piff, I got a huge collection of classic wayne tracks on my phone that stay in rotation in the whip and a lot of songs are post 2007. I could give a fukk what anyone else thinks :yeshrug:

Wayne is top 5 all time

Not sure, would have to really think about it and compare, there's some rappers like Scarface, K-Rino, Z-Ro for example that are MUCH better than Wayne to me, there's others also who are better MC's but it comes down to comparing material and some don't have enough material, Wayne has some dope songs ovee the course of his career and some good albums.

So would have to anaylize that, but in terms of overall I don't think Wayne is anywhere near a top that includes everywhere, nowhere near top 20 let alone top 10.

the conversation for me is if Wayne is the southern goat...he's in my top 10 overall...who's had a run like he has out the south? The sheer volume of his catalog catapults him above alotta nikkas..a best of Wayne playlist would be somewhere in the 100s...and im counting Hot Boy Wayne in that run...nikkas act like he was all "wobbledy wobbledy" in those days and thats just not the case...dude been dope since 14

nikka been out for like 20 years and for about 17 of those years nikka been mediocre as fukk. The other few years nikka had a buzz but he was still mediocre as fukk. One of the most influential, but the nikka ain't top nothing. :yeshrug:
