Lil Wayne is easily one of the best rappers of all time. He has been in the game since he was a teenager, and over the years, we have seen his growth play out. Overall, he is revered by his peers and he is considered to be a massive influence. Moreover, he has brought us artists like Nicki Minaj and Drake, which is a massive accomplishment. If you were to ask most rappers today, they would tell you that Wayne is in their top five. This is certainly a respectable take, and if you said he was your number one, no one would bat an eye.
Now, Lil Wayne is being asked to name his personal top five rappers. He has done so in the past, according to XXL. Back in 2018, he said his top five was Cam'ron, UGK, 8 Ball & MJG, Missy Elliott, and Jay-Z. This is certainly a great list that showcases a wide range of tastes. However, as it turns out, Wayne has changed his top five. For the most part, many of the entries here are the same. Although, it appears as though Cam'ron, as well as 8 Ball & MJG have been taken off of the list.
