Where Do You Rank Them? (Vol 22) - Lil Wayne

[Dwayne]

I'm going to pose this question like I did LL:

For all y'all saying Weezie is Top 5, I wanna know over who:

BIG? Jay? Pac? Nas? Rakim???

Who does Wayne go in over of those 5?

I'm just talkin facts.

 

[AP2.5]

So now sales matter?

 

[Goldie]

So now sales matter?

I've never said they don't matter.

 

[AP2.5]

I've never said they don't matter.

They shouldn't hold as much weight as you make them

 

[Goldie]

They shouldn't hold as much weight as you make them

Out of the 7 points I made , 1 of them was solely about #s. You're the only one stressing sales if you're ignoring the 6 other points to focus on 1.

[Natural Born Sinners]

i can make a case for him as well although the back half of his catalog has also taken some dents

but his mixtape run is something i dont think we will EVER see again in music

50 cent/G-unit and Wayne had the best mixtape runs in rap history

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

I'm not arguing that his resume isn't great like you said he had a crazy run but the fall off he had after c3 is something I've never seen before or since. I think that has to be considered in the convo, the good with the bad.

DMX had a hard fall off..pun intended. Alot of rappers/artist in general have serious fall offs. Wayne was bound to have one, that level of success he was having is not sustainable. Mainly BC alot of his success came from putting out so much music in short periods of time. Jail and label shit got in the way of that. As well as life, that nigga looked like he was more interested in skating, wearing funny clothes and doing drugs than he was into making music. Which makes sense considering how hard he was working during the peak of the mixtape weezy phase. He top 15 to me. Nigga has ALOTA of good music and put drake in position to be on top. His contributions to the game cannot be understated

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

How many of those features you remember/are memorable?

Alot if you was listening to rap at the time. Wayne was damn near on errbody singles. RnB, rap..shit even rock n roll niggas was having Wayne on they shit

 

[Joshie Kahn]

Yo don't take this the wrong way........but you the nigga's biggest fan or something? I'm not defending some comments I made almost 2 years ago, I ain't no celeb on twitter b.
