Lil Wayne calls himself the best rapper.
Lil Wayne returned to music with his new single “Kant Nobody” with DMX, and he appeared on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music show for a recent interview. During the conversation, the rapper was told that he is placed at number 7 on Billboard & Vibe’s Top 50 best rappers list, which is topped by JAY-Z.
“Man, who the hell is before me? Was the list including ALL hip-hop, like before and after as well?,” he said. “I can deal with that… I will tell you that I am a muthaf**kin’ one. Everybody whose names you named, they also know I’m number one. Go ask ’em. They know what it is.”
“This is creativity. No one gets behind a mic, approaches a song and says ‘I’m making a song so it can be better than this one,’” he added. “If we all approached it that way, yeah it’d be a competition. This is creativity. Any individual who creates, this is their individuality. They’re putting their growth and creativity out there for you to enjoy. But we also know this is what the world does, so we have no problem with it.”
Lil Wayne recently called JAY-Z the greatest rapper of all time. “The greatest rapper of all time is Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter,” he said on Marcellus Wiley’s More to It podcast. “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.”
During a recent interview with Apple Music, Weezy shared some details about what fans can anticipate from the highly anticipated C6 album “Everybody already know,” Lil Wayne said. “You already know. Come on – it’s Carter 6. I never even imagined. That didn’t even sound right years ago. I can’t believe we’re at Carter 6. My fans know I give my all. Go listen to my last feature and know it’s gonna be a thousand times better than that.”
Billboard & Vibe’s top 10 rappers of all time featured JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Tupac, Eminem, The Notorious BIG, Lil Wayne, Drake, Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj.
