he doesn’t have that same level of universal respect as a lyricist that they have.
Different eras. The sound of hip hop changed a lot by 2008.
He’s obviously one of the biggest rappers ever. Is he iconic and legendary for that? Sure. But is he iconic as an artist/lyricist in the way those four are hailed? I don’t see it.
Wayne's more lyrical than Pac.

Wayne bodied Hov and Nas on countless songs together lol

The beginning of Retardation Rap. Couldn't tell me that wasn't one of those kids in the lunchroom in school from the slow classes drooling while eating ice cream and making noises

Never liked Wayne like that

but I was playing this song non-stop when it came out

with that said, it’s aged pretty bad….don’t see myself playing it ever again
