Where Does Lil Wayne Rank On Your GOAT List?

[Wacky D]

its crazy how the 2 weakest of the CMR glory years, wayne & birdman are the 2 still standing.

and they stood long after the others fell off the tracks, and theyre still going.

thats how it be happenin tho.

 

[The Ruler 09]

If prime Wayne was in the mainstream at this particular time though I feel like he'd be 1 of the top rappers. Wayne I can respect has talent, my issue with him has always been inconsistency.

 

[Poitier]

top 3

 

[Vice Gripp]

Prolly Top 200. There's a lotta dope emcees... and if you are talking GOAT's and you are under the age of 25, you should do your research before commenting. The OGs set alotta this ish up for these young cats to now mold and take into the future.

 

[Konnan]

Right above John Brown from the White Rapper Show and just below Shaq

 

[MINT]

He doesn't.

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

he's a talented wordsmith who at one time had the game in his back pocket, but for some reason he never put it together the way he potentially could have....

He is not a GOAT

 

[Banned Account12]

1 of the greatest rappers of all time

 

[Tunez]

Impossible

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

Ahhh.. Lil Wayne's heralded reign or run.
That consisted mostly of freestyling over other artists beats.

The run that produced no quality studio albums. And NO other goat candidate has a fraction of straight shyt music as Wayne.

The reign when lollipop and how to love are his hit singles

 

[JamesCannon]

Top 10?

But but his influence and impact.
Who has he influences that put out quality music?

 

[Slow Moving]

Somewhere behind and in front Kendrick lamar

 

[ISO]

Wayne has a lot of good shyt and a lotta wack shyt, due to his influence and dominant reign he cracks somewhere in my top 50. Wayne wasn't a terrible MC dude had flows and was ill in terms of punchlines and metaphors.

I can't say albums like Tha Carter 1-3 and mixtapes like No Ceilings are trash.

But but his influence and impact.
Who has he influences that put out quality music?

Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

How exactly are some of these guys better than Wayne?

Wyclef Jean is a better MC than Lil Wayne?

Benzino is a better MC than Lil Wayne?
