Fat Joe was a recent guest on Ebro’s Beats 1 Radio show, where he opened up about his thoughts on the newer generation of rappers. In particular, he talked about Lil Uzi Vert, who he refers to as a “bad version of Lil Wayne.”
“You hear all these little kids now who doing Hip Hop music,” he tells Ebro. “Those is all Lil Wayne’s flows. Every last one. Lil Uzi is a bad version of Lil Wayne. It’s not as good as Lil Wayne. Just to be honest with you. And he’s good and I like his songs.”
He adds, “Lil Uzi, I got nothing but love for you. He ain’t as good as Lil Wayne. That’s impossible. Lil Wayne was considered — he’s one of the greatest. He’s a G.O.A.T. Not only that, he was lyrically considered the best rapper on earth for a couple of years. Lil Uzi Vert ain’t going to get that. It’s with no disrespect because I like Lil Uzi Vert and I like a lot of his records. I cannot front. I actually bought his album.”
Ebro replies, “It’s a good album. Yo, the album’s really good,” to which Joe says, “It’s a good album. It’s a good album. I don’t want to take it disrespectful in no way, but Lil Wayne is Lil Wayne. That’s different.”
From there, Ebro goes on to tease the Terror Squad/D.I.T.C. vet about “shitting” on Lil Uzi, but Joe insists, “I didn’t shit on Lil Uzi. I can’t say how much I appreciate him. I’m just saying Lil Wayne inspired generations of music.”
Elsewhere in the episode, which also features Dre of the production duo Cool & Dre, Joe discusses his new single “Pick It Up,” the Grammy Awards, Cardi B’s success and his previous release, “So Excited.”
The full episode airs on Wednesday (January 24) at 4 p.m. EST on Beats 1.
Lil Wayne fell off hard
No Ceilings 2 and Dedication 6 were trash, He smoked him self retarded like a base head.
When I dated Fat Joe he LOOOOOOOVED Uzi

Wow.. I’ve only listened to a couple of Uzi’s songs, but I had no idea he was considered a rapper. Really?? Am I missing something?
Fat Joe is a bad version of Big Pun… So What? Uzi Vert looks more like a Abortion Survivor with Piercings… So What? And Lil Pump looks like a Dirty Tampon… So What??
who cares? comparing trash to trash. this worthless nothin only stay eatin off a dead artist who bodied more talent than the rest of the crew.
Lil Uzi Vert is Garbage Fat Joe being nice .
Fat joe has no room to talk. He is a fucking sell out. I can’t believe i use to like him. Fat boy is no better than the rest of those gay rappers. I guess joe is taking it up the ass too. D.I.T.C. should kick him out.
Get your own shit and stop lying. I love sucking on Joes fat one.
U need mental help.
This lil queer rappers is wack just say it joe don’t beat around the bush (lol)
damn a bad version of lil wayne? And lil wayne hasn’t been good since b.g. stopped writing his shit in 1999. You know its bad for hip-hop when we got bad versions of terrible rappers.
this might be the worst take in the history of takes.
If you think B.G. EVER wrote Weezy’s raps you have to be on very high dosage of some type of psychiatric drugs.
Fat Joe is a sell out you cant co sign any wack hip hop and be considered hip hop. Joe is a pop star with terrible music. He hasn’t been good since 95. I have no idea about that dude musics but if hes compared to lil bad decisions Wayne I’m all good.
Wayne has never been dope….
Fat Joe looks like a bad version of Elton John in that Alice in Wonderland pimp suit, just sayin.
