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.
Lil Wayne Ain't The Best Fucking Rapper Alive … IAM ???

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.
