i love how everyone is letting this guy go on about how much history was made by lil wayne and how he was a legend...how bout this...
Eminem was the first hip hop artist to be played on TRL
Eminem is the TOP selling hip hop artist, period
Almost every rapper (including Wayne and Jay) thinks Eminem is the best
He is probably one of the Highest Demanded rappers in history, to the point where someone on the same label cant even get a album out because all the label wants is EMINEM.
He's is mentored by the legend Dr Dre and gave us one of the biggest rappers of our time 50 Cent.
those are just little facts and things hes done off the top...like if i really felt like searching him on Wikipedia...i would really make lil wayne look like just your regular rapper.
Only thing eminem and wayne have in common are that they both made a shit album, and still sold a shit load (Encore,Carter 3)
alight since yall want to comapre stats:
1.Lil Wayne INTENDED the word "BLING BLING"
2.He has worked with all the greats in rap, pop, r&b rock
3.he has the biggest fan base at the moment with 10 million fans (yes bigger then em's)
4.At 16 his first solo album went double platinum in a couple of months
5.he signed to a label wayy before eminem back in 1991 when he was 11 beating gown man batting
6.Everyone wants to work with him even the best to every do it in rap (alive)
7.Cash money is one of the most successful rap labels ever because of wayne with selling over 150 million albums and ranking in over 15 billion dollars
8.He has been nominated with 8 grammys (at once
9.in 2007-2009 alone he has done over 1,000 verses in hooks
10.You talk about how no one in em's label cannot grop because of eminem.. whats happening over at cash money? no one is dropping everyone is hungry for wayne's experimental album (gonna sell way more then relapse) (that shit was mediocre)
11. Did anyone else sell 1 million albums in a week in a recession? wayne's a first
12. Wayne had the biggest selling rap tour EVER, i am music & America mosted wanted tour bringing in more then 50 million dollars and a little over 900,000 fans
13.Eminem sold the most albums ever as a rapper right why? he shot straight to mainstream when he got signed, in other hands when wayne was signed it took him time and even when he was on t.v he was underground up until late '04 so to sell 20 million albums and 80% of the time your shit was underground is way better then selling 70 million and being the most overrated, maintsteam rapper alive
14. what happen to eminem is the best rapper alive? it has left and most of eminem fans are now lil wayne fans and rap has a new rap king thats also the best rapper alive named Dwayne carter
15.Young Money is running things right now check the rap billboard young money has the top 3 slots, drake is beasting on any new rapper or old (he would destroy 50 in a rap battle or whatever at that)
16. He has the most classic mixtapes that have been officially named classics by the reviews.
just a few things why wayne is a legend i didn't even name half of the reason i wanted to
Yeah eminem outsold wayne in the early 2000's but that was eminem time this right here is wayne's time he is the king of hip hop both mainstream and underground no one is fucking with wayne right now. why do you think 50 cent wants to beef with wayne right now? let me take you back, when ever someone is the hottest out 50 trys to beef with them to gain promotion i will stop at that and let that process though your hater brain
