Since Lil Wayne dropped his debut solo album The Block Is Hot in 1999, a lot of truly great rappers have graced the scene: Eminem, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Drake have all shone, just to name a few.
But Tory Lanez thinks that the Louisiana rapper will go down in history as the cream of the crop.
The 24-year-old seems to be tired of new school rappers like Kodak Black talking trash about Weezy, and has tweeted his support for the Cash Money veteran.
“LIL WAYNE WILL DIE THE BEST RAPPER OF HIS TIME and ERA … niggas gotta stop the bullshit and give the man his credit.”
Now that’s how you shout somebody out.
Of course, with music being just about the most subjective thing in the world, plenty of fans have come out of the rafters to let Tory Lanez know that they disagree with his assessment of things.
Of the other contenders, Eminem appears to have been the most gif-able.
The tweet could be seen as a direct response to Kodak Black’s tweet from a month ago about Lil Wayne, which certainly didn’t pay Weezy the same respect.
The young buck took it one step further just last week, when he challenged Lil Wayne to a fight to decide who the best rapper of all time is.
“I’m finna knock that stupid-ass nigga out. And if he whoop me, he the best rapper alive, ya heard me?”
Objectively, that’s just not how it works.
hell no! fuck lil wayne monotone ass
You just insulted 90% of rappers lol
Eminem LMAO!!! REALLY GOOD BUT NOT THE BEST….Hell no!!! Hell to the naw!!! Stop it!! Em had a good album then some bs, then a good album then some garbage, then his best album and the rest was some stuff I don’t care to acknowledge!!! Lil wayne dropped fire for like 3-4 years straight with no Dr. Dre beats….just saying!!! im not a fan of neither just an impartial observer. Bad half better than the evil half…just saying!!!! Nelly was better than EM!!! Who else?? And we not talking about sales either, content, lyrics, bars and hooks!!! Em can compete with wayne when it comes to sales but in the booth its not close people!!!!! Thank you…(puts soapbox in a closet and walks off!!!!)
Lmao nelly you kidding me? Just cause its catchy dont make it good i can see skills of a true MC are beyond your comprehension even
Oh yeah and he let Ja Rule….Ja Rule make him consider retiring and bow out of battling real rappers (nick cannon don’t count), that is enough to disqualify him from any “the best conversations”…not really but really!!
ice cube is better than any of this suckas
Crackheads in pink t-shirts is fuckin American az apple pie
No one still listens to any of those Carter albums anymore. Shit is played the fuck out a long long time ago.
Shit sounds hella outdated and the beats just sound shitty and corny now plus dude voice is fuckin annoying as shit
Wtf u tlkn abt….all da carters go hard…bak den and nw……especially da carter 2 wtf….. U on crack or meth or sumthng…….HATER
I can’t imagine any of these new mofos don’t even mention Eminem. They’re too scared to mention him but they’re also unwilling to accept that he’s top 5. And to the mofo a few comments below, Wayne puts out good albums but Em always had better bars. Always. Weezy has one liners but Em has bars. Only 2 or 3 rappers like Nas or Biggie could actually take on Em bar for bar. I ain’t kissing ass I just call it how i see it. And anyway i can mention 12 or so rappers better than Wayne. Nas, Pac, Biggie, Eminem, Jay Z, Rakim, Big L, Big Pun, Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, Ludacris, and so on. Wayne’s top 15 all time but that’s it.
You don’t know sh*t about rap if you don’t think Wayne is Legend.
Em said it himself that he contemplated retirement due to “Wayne” & Kanye..
Wayne had to be doing something right dumb f*cks
An tbh you can’t even compare them at all..
The best at what? Looking weird?
