wow this nigga puts wayne and jay and pusha on his best rapper alive list smh. He has the #1 rapper alive in his group . No mention of Crooked.
seriously, King Crooked will rap circles around those dudes, and would’ve done it even back in 1999…
Yeah it’s a shame, these feel like some politcally correct answers and not the truth actually. If it is the truth then SMH, it’s like dudes get success and always turn their back on the underground, but I imagine it’s just politics in why his answers are what they are.
I love crooked I, but pusha t is much better. crooked might have better freestyles. but as far as songs,mixtapes, albums, pusha t is definitely better than him.
LMFAO AT PUTTING MEEK MILL IN A TOP 5 WITH KENDRICK COLE AND DRAKE
he likes meek’s energy and street element better than them.
HHDX WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE COMMENT SECTION? ITS FUCKED UP IF THERE IS MORE THAN 1 PAGE OF COMMENTS
Is this dude trolling? Or is he being forreal?
Wayne over Nas and Push? Fuck outta here.
I can’t argue about Drake being number 1 when it comes to sales and radio, but come on man, Kendrick & Cole? Those 2 are what most people considered the best of this generation. Not to mention it was Kendrick that dropped the hottest album in over 10 years. Come on Royce.
WAYNE IS NOT EVEN TOP 20 GTFOH WITH THAT GAY ASS SKATEBOARDING GREMLIN WHO KISSES MEN
guys theres a difference between best lyricist or freestyler and best rapper. You have to take into account their catalogue and all of that. I could go down to the shelter in Detroit and find 20 rappers who could spit better than wayne. Making a song is different. A lot of this is luck too..who gets signed, gets good production, etc.
Only arrogant 14 year olds who think they know rap think Lil Wayne sucks. He’s a fucking legend
For his work before 2008. He been trash since then
wayne has been complete garbage since about 2010 at the latest.
Wayne has always had it, up to 2008 he owned every song he hopped on, afterwards yes he made a few shitty songs, and some weird lame shit. But still always came hard on some tracks, Beleive me, Only, today was a good day, my nigga remix, 6 foot 7 foot, fuck there’s too many to name still, but he never lost it he is just creative which sometimes leads to shit some people don’t like, but dope artists do that , that’s why they are called Artists. Wayne, eminem, drake, j cole, Kendrick, 50 cent, juvenile are some of the last real songwriters and creative artists.
No way in hell. Wayne has always sucked. Yes, even back in the days when he started to rap.
I will give you that Wayne is not horrible, but that is all I will give you.
The comments he would have made before he was on shady records compared to now that he is on shady records are night and day.
So true man.
I think this dude has the potential to be something special too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2G2WfjNW0&list=UUuaD8eff7EUa9Y2tNXq8wTg&index=2
MC EIHT AND C.M.W – IT’S A COMPTON THANG 1990 ALBUM CLASSIC
IT’S A COMPTON THANG – C.M.W ALBUM
Its the other way around, 14 year olds think Wayne’s the best hiphop has to offer.. with determinitation I can say objectively he just isn’t.
Carter 1 and 2 were the best projects out during Wayne’s era. And he would have murdered anybody on the mic during then. If you say otherwise your either under 20 or just plan stupid.
