Honestly pound for pound scanning the entirety of what I know about
Hip Hop Music, Lyricism and Important figures.
Wayne would have a difficult time making my top ten.
There are rappers that could demolish him in their sleep
and others who may be right at his level writing wise but use that
skill to write substantially more challenging and/or interesting songs.
I mean If we take in the last 35 years.
Underground/Mainstream, Underrated, Overrated.
There are well over a dozen people I'd put ahead of Wayne.
This isn't to say that Wayne is wack, dude is nice but top ten ALL TIME nice ?
Nah.

Prime example of what I'm talking about. You just done get it. Nobody is gonna have the same top 10 or be impressed by the things you are. There is nothing factual when it comes to judging musc. And if you think so you don't understand what a fact is. BMJR wowed me more than anything KRS-1 has done. In fact KRS called him the goat. Regardless it's my opinion, as well as others (as proved in this thread) that Wayne is top 10. And there really isn't anything you can do or say about it.blah blah blah.
"You think your opinion is God" "you think you're God" "You think everything you say is fact", "Everything is subjective"
I've heard this shyt a million times. Always from people cosigning mediocrity.
Newsflash: Great shyt stands out. Every time. We may not all agree that it's great and great in the exact same way, but it's usually pretty obvious that it's great. Especially over time. Natural consensus tends to form around these things.
It hasn't happened for Wayne and it won't happen for him. Stop forcing it. It has nothing to do with me being 'elitist' or whatever excuse y'all pull from under the rug.
Wayne does not have top 10 material. Period. I've asked to be proven wrong, to be shown these top 10 tracks I may have slept on, and y'all stay mute. I wonder why
Just because you were breastfed to BMJR and it wowed you doesn't mean it wowed anyone else but you and a couple stans. Wayne is competing against rappers that have wowed all types of people, even people who love hip hop but may not care much for dude's discog.
Perfect example is KRS-1. I'm not a huge KRS fan and I barely listen to him. But he has a number of songs that wow the shyt out of me.
When you're dope, you're dope. Hip hop makes it really easy for people to recognize. Stop making excuses.

50 has Grodt but isn't top 10
Of course not everyone is gonna have the same top 10. None of us are pretending like it is or should be the case. I already covered this. Is your reading comprehension that bad? What did you think when I said, word for word, THIS:
Yeah, it just happens to be a billion dollar industry and an essential aspect of humanity since caveman days. But no, there's no facts at all. It's not something worthy of study and analysis. It's all totally subjective and random guesswork
I gather that you're a pretty simple person from what you've been saying, so I'm not surprised. You probably don't know shyt about KRS's music anyway. You're just saying shyt to say it, particularly because you're on the defensive.
Again, it's cool if you're wowed by BMJR but most hip hop heads ARE NOT. Otherwise, this thread wouldn't exist.
It's the Coli. Where up is down and left is right.
Also, that's your finale? That a few others in this thread have said top 10? I mean, just how desperate of a follower are you?
Not surprised. Wayne makes music for followers and part-time listeners. Shallow shyt.
Hip hop goes way deeper than what Wayne has to offer.

Whether "all" sixty were not bad at all...lets say for argument's sake "ONLY" say 40 were bad....thats still 40
thats like saying eminem only released 4 wack solo albums in the last 11 years
if you have over 40 lines even in a discussion for being wack you don't deserve to be on no top 10 list or even top 20.
i don't care if wayne was so influential the past decade...Gucci is also one of the most influential rappers in the past decade but people dont put them on their top 20 list and thats not hate to Gucci just being real.
top 10 rappers spoke more about than just eating p*ssy 24/7 and making a dozen "life is a bytch" "reality is a bytch" puns every week .
