[Sad Bunny]

Well deserved and I will be watching

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Lil Wayne can have tha accolades because Gawdfather gets tha cheques. fukk your stannery.

Gawdfather is tha alpha male.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

they should've never let the hip hop awards be taken over by the SOUTH.

atleast give it to Scarface, or Eightball N MJG, or Outkast,

 

[The God Poster]

Agree with that latter part of your post

 

[Supreme365]

What’s wrong with giving it to Wayne
He’s 20 years deep and arguably the most influential artist of his generation every rapper post 2010 got Wayne Jb they dna

 

[Cadillac]

he deserves it,
but I would wait to do this for 2019 or 2020 awards tho, would match the sendoff from the 2010s which is where his impact is present. because tons of 2010s artist are influenced by him
either way good for Wayne

 

[norfwestdc]

Lil Wayne was arguable the best mainstream rapper at one point. A lot of people that diss him haven't heard pre-2010 music.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Scarface won it before.


Then got arrested right after the speech

 

[Dontay Flaco]

He deserves it.

 

[Rembrandt]

Well deserved. I might tune in. These awards need more respect since the Grammys still ain't fukking with us

 

[Take It In Blood]

I'm not even the biggest wayne fan and was one of those rare kids that preferred to listen to listen to Biggie and Tupac over Hot Boyz in middle school but IMO he's been holding it down since 98 and is still relevant

he deserves it (and well as many others, but lets let this man get his due today)

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

He deserves it, but wait your turn. Other nikkas should've gotten theirs before his
Why now, is this just a marketing push for his next project

Haters gon' hate.

 

[Pop123]

Honor someone who is responsible for madd young dummies during his reign thinking sipping syrup and joining the bloods was cool brehs
