If You Believe Lil Wayne Is The Greatest Of All Time...

[Michael_Malice]

Yo fo real, we need to turn this into a Weezy Appreciation thread!

http://www.newlilwayne.com/2009/06/nicki-minaj-interview-with-vibe-speaks-on-wayne-as-an-influence/

Talk about the experience of being on Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour. You’re still a relatively new artist and you get to see a superstar on stage sell out every night and have thousands of fans scream his name. That has to be eye-opening, right?

That tour made something inside of me say, Oh my God, I want this! I know that I have this in me, and I want this! It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It made me really kick in into that next gear and say, I’m about to go hard or go home! I have one more chance to prove to the underground world and prove that I am who I say I am. And I did it. I did it with Beam Me Up Scotty. I put out music, it wasn’t just freestyles. It was music; it was talking about a lot of different things like you said. It was showing versatility and showing rap skill, and singing and all of that.

What type of influence has Wayne had on your career?

Wayne has always been my biggest influence. It’s weird because I sit down and talk to Wayne like he’s just a regular human being, and then I walk on stage with him and there’s 20,000 people screaming for him. I think it puts it into perspective for me like, Wait a minute, this is actually attainable. I could have this; I just need to focus and remember that my grind is just beginning. I always say that that’s what I learned from Wayne the most; he never stops grinding. It showed me, Yo, this dude is the truth, and I’m going to follow in his footsteps.

If that happens, this thread gets deleted. Unless @icecoldstew wants it lol

So Weezy can't get no love? If I make a Lil Wayne appreciation thread you saying you gonna delete it? But Lil B can have one. Wow. Tells me all I need to know.

It's going to be interesting to see how Wayne's music holds up and how he ages in rap, because that ''young boy'' shit he raps about and those stupid ass tats, skateboard gimmick ain't gonna be cool when he is in his late 30s and 40s. He's not gonna be able to hold on to those teenage fanbase, they'll grow old and outgrow his shit imo.

he doesn't really have it like he used to tho either. When i was a senior in high school (2007-08). Niggas were bumping the empire mixtapes some c2 and waiting for the summer 08 release of C3. My lil bro a senior outchea and niggas not listening to wayne. They fucks with drake, asap, kendrick, 2 chainz is a huge favorite but not wayne that much. Many of my bros aged kids fucked with him in middle school when he was hot but they have already moved on to other artists being their fav rappers.

Which makes me question Carter 4 sales ever more, i know for a damn fact people weren't checking for C4 like how they were C3 when Wayne was at his peak in popularity. No way you can't tell me they manipulated his sales.

This isn't a wayne apprecate thread its about is wayne the greatest of all time and that answer is no he is not. And nobody in this thread can seem to prove that. There are points that he has an influence in the game that is above many. Nevertheless there isn't supporting facts to why he is the GOAT.

 

[deshoun_alford]

I wonder when "I'm not a human being II" is coming out..........

I dont

Nah, that's cool man. I wouldn't say Weezy is GOAT either, but once it's agreed that someone is indeed a legend, then I feel they have a legitimate claim to be ranked among the greatest. Most people outside the IC would not flip if they heard someone rank Weezy that high, because as far as this generation is concerned, he's done a lot to change the game. So I guess comes down to what your opinion is.....

Good debate tho....hip hop will always need its gatekeepers, for real!

 

[jayvon32]

Wayne work ethic is top notch and considering he has flooded the market with his style I can see how people think of him as the greatest, considering rap these days and ages tends to have ADD if you're not dropping a hit consistently. Lately his rhymes being falling off. pre-2007>>>>>>>current wayne

 

[trilladelic]

he was better when he was a crip..

 

[D_Rap_Scholar]

With another subpar album out, and what seems like disappointing first-week sales, I'm not sure where Wayne's career is heading at this point. It's beginning to look a lot like Nas circa 2000, Nastradramus era. Shit's really looking bad for the GOAT contender...

 

[MR.CJ]

Wayne isn't the best of his generation.

I take tip, ludacris, kanye over wayne.

 

[MR.CJ]

I forgot about 50

 

[Quantum Mechanik]

lol ludacris question!

Dont think so...Em smashed homie on every track they been on together. Even Wayne in his prime couldnt fuck with present day Em.

 

[The Recipe]

There is no argument for GOAT. You can argue he was one of the best rappers of the 2000's. When you think of classic hip hop albums people say illmatic, ready to die, etc. They don't think first hand any of wayne's albums. He had some great albums but not bar none classics. Likewise his best material like mikey said was completely random shit for the most part.

You wouldn't consider The Carter III to be a classic?

Carter 3 sold off hype if anything carters 1 and 2 have more classic material than C3. I still liked c3 but it wasn't on the level of the first 2.

It also sold off of the strenght of Da Drought 3, leaked songs from The Carter 3 and other mixtapes and features he was doing he was, red hot leading up to the Carter 3 he would have probably done 5-10 Million before the bootleg era with that same momentum.

with that same momentum possibly that could happen. However i think from a album quality and tracks that flow to make an album i also wonder how some of the leak tracks would have flowed to make an album. We will never fully know that but regardless some dope tracks got released.
