Lil Wayne is a legit contender for top 10 rapper all-time

[StretfordRed]

I think I'm done talking hip hop on this site/the Internet.

Genuinely believe there are people who have a completely warped thought process for things

This thread and all the people who genuinely think lil Wayne is a top 10 rapper are fukking retards.

 

[HustlerOfVirginiA]

Nikkas said Skyzoo is better than Weezy

I fukking died when I saw that

 

[JustCKing]

Now this is just a fukking dumb post.

Look at the criteria in the OP. Aside from influence, how does the criteria not fit Eminem.

 

[Black Cac]

Out of curiosity though who out of these is Wayne better than?

2 Pac
KRS-One
Nas
Jay Z
Biggie
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane
Ice Cube
Scarface
Slick Rick
Kool G Rap
Big Pun
AZ
Guru
Common
Chuck D
Raekwon
Ghostface
LL Cool J
Prodigy

To name but a few, so I don't see how it's possible, there's around 20 MC's there and it's only scratching the surface, is Wayne better than 10 of those MC's listed? Not to me.

He has shyt I fukk with though and he's got some good work but I don't think it reaches that elite level to make him a top 10.

Prodigy is much better than Wayne and he has numerous albums better than any Wayne album. Havoc is also better....

I wud argue

He's not the best from his city (Royce or Elzhi)
He doesn't carry aftermath and if u try to say Shady...just stop

And point blank Em is a better rapper by far.

 

[TXTrill1]

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
Lyrically inclined? Check
Influential? Double Check
Best rapper ever from his city? Check

You can make a legit case for Wayne.

if he's the only rapper you ever listened to, then hes definetly goat

Over all your delusional if you dont give wayne a top 10 spot. Honestly he can really get top 5. If wayne would have died after carter one nikka's would have easily put him on that pac, and biggie pedestal.

He's been rapping since 9 and joined a record label at 10

How many rappers have had a word or "term" they created added to the dictionary?
bling-bling | flashy jewelry worn especially as an indication of wealth broadly : expensive and ostentatious possessions

Wayne single handily imo changed the course of hiphop by letting white people flood in. White people loved wayne for a long time.

Even though he's fallen off, all he needs is one hot song and album to be right back on.

Dude has a legacy behind him, more than dmx, or Lupe or whatever more lyrical rapper might be your favorite.

 

[SunZoo]

I don't think anyone (other than trolls) can argue he doesn't belong in the top ten...

Y'all just being stubborn and or old. I don't like 2PAC at ALL, but I'd be silly to say you can't make an argument for him being a top 10 rapper of all-time

Y'all letting personal bias, misdirected "real hip hop" posturing and nostalgia cloud your judgments

I want to know why you don't like 2Pac, now let me preface this by saying I have a hell of a lot of respect for you. It's just I always see you throw shade at 2pac. Every thread where 2pac is mentioned you sometimes go out of your way to side with those who beefed with pac or you make some kind of condensing remark. I'm just shocked someone of your stature would do that.

Don't let old decrepit people dictate how you feel about any man.

Was it the manufactured beef that got in your way of liking 2pac?

You just have to know pac would have done more for people than any of our favorite rappers. Towards the end of his life duke was getting involved in rally's, fundraisers and did more financially for people struggling than "Lyrical Miracle" rappers. I've never heard of Wu-Tang, Biggie, Slick Rick or any Lyrical Miracle guys helping anybody/any community.

You can't believe the hype with Conscious/back-rap/abstract rappers because how many of them turned out to be frauds?
Wyclef took funds during the haiti earthquake, Q-Tip is a womanizing passive agressive female, I mean how many of them really made a difference?


edit: I took out irrelevant, weird adjectives,odd words and run-on sentences. Also fixed typos and did a better edit.

 

[Pop123]

Maybe top 20
