Not saying he's personally mine, but let's break it down

Biggest rapper in the world at one point? Check
Quality/Great material for at least 5 years? Check
Held up an entire record label by himself for years? Check

i'm not even mad. but people get caught up in the "substance" line of hip hop too much

He also probably the only A-List rapper to successfully co-sign / build up a n1kka from nothing and make him more hotter (Drake). gotta give em props

think right now Drake = peak Wayne popularity, maybe suppressed him

Top 10?

Top 3, and that's being generous for the nikkas that won't admit he's THE Goat

 

[The Ruler 09]

I liked some of Wayne's material but I can't say he's top 50 to me. Just too many great MC's for him to be in a top 10 of mine. To each their own but not to me personally.

 

[28 Gramz]

He is top 10. Don't care how bad he fell off..both Jay and Eminem have been trash for a decade plus..Wayne gets a pass too
