i feel like lil wayne was relevant since he said "when i pull up in the expedition they be like uhno uh no uh no he diddnt WAGHHH" lmfao
for real tho bling bling dropped, and wayne has always been near the forefront of hip hop, as far as the mainstream goes.
even as a young dude making corny shit on mannie fresh beats, he was making legit bangers and you could tell he was lyrically ahead of all them other cash money dudes, juve, bg, all of them. juve and bg were just cooler cuz they were grown men thuggin
wayne didnt get the respect from nerds till the carter and shit like that, and he can definately spit. he absolutely throws out corny one liners, but alot of the same people who say that blow eminem when his are infinitely worse, because as cake pointed out waynes delivery and flow makes them acceptable. they keep the structure of his verse going while extending it with some shit. meanwhile eminem will drop a corny one liner and stand behind it fully with adlibs like BOOYAH, like dare i say a cornball.
wayne could spit since day 1, he's only gotten better
i don't even listen to any wayne. i fuck with the block is hot because it was embedded in my early years memories. but as someone who literally listens to no lil wayne for pleasure, i can easily put him in my top 10 because i recognise his skills across the board
when i discuss shit like this on text sites i feel like you guys kind of look at it too one sided. like your goat basketball player would be reggie miller or something cuz he was so proficient at 3's. can he d you up tho? can he cross you and dunk on a center? etc.
