he had the skills to back it all up though

Lil Wayne is the Greatest of All Time

Lil Wayne really TOP 3 and that's undebatable.

25+ years in STILL ON TOP

man wayne had a bad down period at one point dude really fell off then came back

Being the best rapper alive does help I suppose

lean lean double cup

really warms my heart to see waynes place in the game, how his legacy willl fondly be remembered and how revered he is

and truly had the time of my life seeing it all happen

..thas my goat

Evolved into “Drake sucks and here’s why…” genre

D****

it was looking shaky for a min

Most important part

Genuinely gifted can’t teach that

his output mightve been shaky in some years + the legal trouble

but there is no point after 2007 that Wayne wouldn't go down as a goat or highly respected, especially by his peers.

no amount of IANAHB2's or Rebirths will change that

He wasn’t always loved. It was popular to hate on him when he was on top

i agree, he was my fav up until Future. i was just hoping his legacy was intact

-Hard work
-Technical skill
-Avoiding drama and controversy for the most part(even during the BLM comments, Wayne didn't harp over it or make it define him)
-Staying lowkey even when he's going through rough moments
-Believed in feeding his fans even when Baby was semi-blackballing him
-Massive influence over the rap game
-Bars and punchlines that are fun to dissect
-Likeable personality
-Put on Drake and Nikki and formed an empire with them(YM)

Hard work + talent = Lil Wayne

🗣🗣

Being himself. Didn’t give a single f*** and at the same time didn’t make his whole personality of being different.
Black man with face tattoos, who made a song saying f*** george bush, perfoming with kid rock at country music awards? Who else can do that lol.
