The Carter 5 will be lil Wayne's=Black Album

[BOLO]

he aint in my top 5 or even 10 but if you say he aint top 10 influential artist you probably lyin to yourself

this. you might not like his funny ways, wardrobe choices or even the way he raps but that doesn't affect his spot in hip hop history.

 

[Grifter]

This was my first thought after hearing the new joint that just dropped. Crazy that he's doing at 30(?) what it took Jay 53 years to accomplish.

Camels are known to move slow.

Wayne definitely has a spot in history, but it's a different matter talking of him as one of the greatest.

i knew this would happen


thats why i almost put in the past 20 years in the post

but if you think will smith is a more influential rapper than wayne we gonna have to agree to disagree

 

[The Ruler 09]

Are people talking about just the amount of influence or whether it's a good influence?

If it's just on amount then have to add Eminem and 50 Cent to the liist too.

Then styles people like Bone Thugz, Wu as a collective. The Lox. If it's just sales you even have to look groups and people like Blondie, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer etc. So it's about the criteria.

Naming you're album carter 1 - 5 is fukking stupid

He will never be considered one of the greats.

 

[Shadow King]

If he add some damn subject matter to his work he'll be super good.

If he add some damn subject matter to his work he'll be super good.

If he added subject matter more often he would significantly help his legacy. A lot of the shyt he talks about will get boring, a lot of the punchlines will be tired or people will grow up and be on the next trend.

 

[MiC]

He will be considered a flash in the pan by a lot of people. But he has a place maybe in a top 100.

Lil wayne has dropped platinum albums in literally three different fukking decades.
6 albums have sold over a million copies. Another 5 have sold over 500k.

Don't care about sales. It's about quality of music.

Quality of music is subjective.

You've been going on about how hot all these shytty Animal Ambition tracks are, so what value does your opinion hold on quality of music?

I have no idea what your talking about. Show me the quote I said. And it isn't just me who doesn't rate Wayne as top 20 of all time, it's nearly everyone on here.
