It's hard to name a rapper that is in Wayne's category.
Y'all seem to overlook the fact that he singlehandedly created the version of Hip Hop that's popular now.
How many rappers are "Lil" something? The hair. The face tats. The overall dusty, junkie vibe. The autotune singing.
Not to mention. You could have a radio station play Lil Wayne songs for 24 hours without any repeats. He's got the deepest catalog ever. Lots of mix tapes, but those projects are considered more classic than some of his studio albums.
