Grew up with Wayne since ‘07 listening to Dedication 2 & Drought 3. Noticing his ups and downs in his career but now I truly appreciate what Wayne has done for the Genre as a whole and how immensely gifted this dude is as a rapper. Always gotta appreciate a rapper like him when he’s alive and not only when he passes away.

Regardless of his musical subject matter, I see Lil Wayne's humility increase in his interviews now.
No other rapper can pile on turns of phrase like lil wayne. He can say a line and then recontextualize it with the following line, and he does it dozens of times within one song and makes it look effortless

He’s one of those rappers that never stops rapping(usually a red flag, usually they fall off) but he never falls off

I will never forget the first time I’ve heard dedication one & two. I’ve been hooked especially drought one an two. Classics I can go on an on but I say that to say Wayne is the goat. An whoever hating Wayne explains it all on Gossip why he’s the greatest.
Man I remember just being a youngin Wayne was my favorite rapper and I’m telling you a lot of pple didn’t listen to him until after that dedication 2 came out after that you couldn’t go nowhere without hearing it! Good times.

@@Leon-ly3gubut he does have a lot of complex bars and it’s not just impressive because of that. It’s impressive because it’s freestyle, the word play, double entendres, and the way he sets up everything. Not to mention he used drop mixtapes and once he rapped on other people’s beats they might as well have been his songs after he was done. It’s an opinion that’s he’s a goat, but an opinion that a lot of people would agree with. No disrespect just giving my opinion as well bro lol. I know sometimes people argue in the comments, but feel free to respond. I would like to hear your feedback and who your top 5 rappers are.
Man Wayne the definition of a goat 🐐 and I mean that wholeheartedly this man redefined hip hop had it in a stranglehold from 2004 up until 2013 he was inescapable man and he created other superstars Drake, Nicki, Tyga and changed the lives of his lesser known artists this man will always and forever be one of my favorite rappers ever definitely top 5 of all time
amazing and well spoken 🐐
“Every time I say Work I ask God to forgive me” that’s a bar🔥🔥🔥
I remember seeing lil Wayne on the MTV channel in 2008 when Carter lll came out. And what’s crazy about is that I was 4 years old when he blew up and took me so many years to find out who he was. And today he remains one of my top 10 favorite rappers
what a great guy
great timed out interview.
Why do you do what you do? I needed that. Thank you. ❤️
When he said when it come to "my" mixtapes everybody know how I do, felt that 💯 yes we doo
