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.”
“I just think heâs 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 didnât like [about me].”
“[Like] They didnât like the Cruel Summer album. And Iâm like, âThatâs a compilation. It ainât all rappers on G.O.O.D. Music.â
“Cruel Summer got âDonât Like (Remix),â âMercy,â âCold,â âNew God Flowâ all on one joint, you know. And âClique,â and âClique!â You canât name five records like that on no album. But they wanna diss me and be like, âHe did Cruel Summer and he canât say he ainât part of it âcause heâs on eight recordsâŚâ Like they wanna try toâainât nobody bringinâ up that âDiamondsâ remix verse. There wasnât no verse in a year thatâs fuckinâ with that verse.”
“Itâs 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 Iâm checkinâ all the boxes of that Tribe Called Quest era and J. Dilla and all that, so they wanna champion it. They donât like Givenchy Kanye. They donât like Kanye in a kilt. They donât like Kanye in a relationship.”
