Lil Wayne did play apart in saving hip hop.
Nas was proclaiming it was dead, Jay & Em was retired ..
50 was lolly gagging around, and everybody else was on the lay low.
I think the "Best Rapper Alive", excatually want hip hop needed at the time.
Motivation .
Waynes emergence to challenged every artist to step up and make music.
With his constant release of free-music, (on other beats or not),
caused more and more fans to check for his latest shit.
I think this is why mixtapes are at its peak right now.
Wayne made it acceptable enuff for other artist to experiment on other artist beats.
His proclaim for "Best Rapper Alive", made other artist want to prove why he isn't.
Hip Hop always strive when the compition is there.
So, rather or not Wayne was telling the truth about "Best Rapper Alive".. it sent a spark to the other artist.
They had to spend more time in the studio, proving, or re-iterating their position in hip hop...
Especially since the kid was releasing a new mixtape, every week.
Wayne played a hand in hip hop, because took advantage of the MP3/iTune booming.
His work ethic, and dedication to feeding hip hop fans;made it a win-win situation, between him and his listeners.
Not only was he releasing great music for his fans .. He was also proving that, shit .. he might just be a GOAT.
He might not be the hands down, Best Rapper Alive .. but he sure was releasing songs/ hopping on collabs / and supporting his fans like one.
I think he's overly hated on ..
