Lil Wayne appeared on the most recent edition of Nick Wright’s What’s Wright? Weezy was asked to identify his Top 5 rappers of all-time on the With Nick Wright podcast on Thursday (May 5), among many other things.
“For me, it’s always going to be first, Missy Elliott,” he said. “She’s a huge influence of everything I’ve ever done. “JAY-Z is the best ever to speak. Biggie, obviously. Then I have the whole Goodie Mob. Then I have UGK.”
