Kanye West crowns Lil Wayne the best rapper alive

 

Lil Wayne? Not Jay Z? Lol. MTV just released their list for the Hottest MCs in the game and when asked who he felt was the best rapper alive, Kanye, who was placed at No. 7 in the list, picked Lil Wayne.

Here's the thing; Lil Wayne and Jay Z are arch enemies...and being Jay Z's former bff, one would have expected Kanye to pick Jigga. Besides Jay Z is a better rapper than Lil Wayne, right? Stop the beef Kanye...lol

Anyway in an interview after the MTV list came out Kanye explains,

    "Yeah, #7 bothers me. I think that Wayne is the number one rapper in the world."

See the rest after the cut...


    "I just think he’s like, you know, him and Jay and Em (Eminem) and certain people are just the greatest rappers of all time. For me I feel that in order for them to put me as #7, they had to bring up things that they didn’t like [about me]."

    "[Like] They didn’t like the Cruel Summer album. And I’m like, “That’s a compilation. It ain’t all rappers on G.O.O.D. Music.”

    "Cruel Summer got “Don’t Like (Remix),” “Mercy,” “Cold,” “New God Flow” all on one joint, you know. And “Clique,” and “Clique!” You can’t name five records like that on no album. But they wanna diss me and be like, “He did Cruel Summer and he can’t say he ain’t part of it ’cause he’s on eight records…” Like they wanna try to—ain’t nobody bringin’ up that “Diamonds” remix verse. There wasn’t no verse in a year that’s fuckin’ with that verse."

    "It’s definitely not based on a body of work, but possibly could just be overall rap, MC swag. Sean is a great rapper, period. It checks all the boxes. What happens is with them, with these types of judges and people who review it, when you come in, I had like the pink polo and the backpack and I’m checkin’ all the boxes of that Tribe Called Quest era and J. Dilla and all that, so they wanna champion it. They don’t like Givenchy Kanye. They don’t like Kanye in a kilt. They don’t like Kanye in a relationship."

Lil Wayne To Release Book On Prison Experience

Our favourite raspy voiced rapper, Lil Wayne, is set to release a book, based on his experiences in prison. Wayne is no stranger to the slammer, having recently spent eight months behind bars. Wayne was previously picked up by Arizona police, when his tour bus was stopped and authorities found a vast array of illegal items on-board. A K-9 Unit recovered 105 grams (3.7 oz) of marijuana, almost 29 grams (1.0 oz) of cocaine, 41 grams (1.4 oz) of MDMA, and $22,000 in cash.

Wayne then backed this up, with border patrol officers locating illegal substances on-board his tour bus almost two years later. The book, titled Gone Til November, is based on the diary entries Wayne made during his time locked up on New York’s Rikers Island, the largest penal colony in the world.

After cancelling his solo shows while out here with Eminem, Wayne is set to return to Australian shores this year to tour nationally. Aged 29, he said he would retire at 35 to take care of his children, something he has obviously neglected while being locked up. The book is set for release on November 28. We can’t wait.
