“The greatest rapper of all time is Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter,” he declared. “When you do this rapping thing, obviously like football, every sport is different. You play hockey, I’m sure they got something that they only know about. Something that they probably can’t explain, but only they know. That thing in rap, that we only know in rap, he has that. He’s the Tom Brady of that.”

Lil Wayne previously claimed JAY-Z tried to sign him to Roc-A-Fella Records for $175,000 during a 2016 interview on DJ Drama’s Shade 45 radio show.

“You know, when I went out to talk to him about being at Roc-A-Fella — and mind you, this was years ago,” he said at the time. “First of all, he was at the 40/40 in the daytime, and when I got up there he was talkin’, it was Denzel Washington, it was Derek Jeter.

people dont really listen to hov like that outside of the west

Funny how they were “beefing” at a point in time too lol

what

but Wayne is from the south so what are you even saying

I think he meant Drake

west meaning the western world not the west side of the United States

apologies for the confusion

He saw the KTT Verzus

with all due respect that's the only place where people's opinion on hip hop matters. pop culture in general really.

when we start talking about the goats, international appeal has to be a factor we consider, whether you like it or not

Hov prolly pretentious af irl.

Lil Weezer may be right tho

no the f*** it doesn’t

Its the obvious right answer

i could of bought wayne for like 0.175 million

that same artist today is worth 175 million

you’re the type to think a local rapper you went to middle school with is the goat cause your borough fws him

thats not how this works

luckily no one cares what people outside the US think about hip hop

what % of this site’s user base is based in the US in your estimation?

at least be knowledgeable before saying some stupid s***

Are you saying Asians should dictate who runs a black genre

Pop culture only matters in the west? Wtf you smoking on

pop culture is run by the west.

is a factor to consider ≠ should dictate

so u ignored the post about jigga’s sales outside of the us?

ur an idiot, acting like jay is some unknown artist

It's amazing how terrible of a poster @SSLXO is forreal

So who do you think is the goat then
