i wasnt putting it in order, i was just naming 10 rappers better than Wayne. I personal think you make a argument for Eminem being the best ever but I would still put Pac at number 1.

Wayne used to show potential but after Tha Carter 2 he turned into a completely different artist and I've yet to hear anything remotely good come from him since then. Carter 3 was pretty bad, and he really needs to just stop with the autotune, as does everyone else for that matter. If Wayne could revert to how he used to be then he might not be a bad artist but he won't do that and continue to make bad music.

and here come the stupid haters who know nothing about rap "
HAHA funny since you labeled this idiot as the 3rd greatest rapper. Sorry but he's nothing like
2pac, Biggie Smalls, Wut-tang, Killa Priest, Big L, Immortal Technique and so on and sorry I ain't hating since I know enough about Hip Hop. It's pathetic that people list Wayne on their list of being one of the best rappers since in reality themselves don't know beep about rap/hip hop.

Lil wayne mutters alot of crap on most of his songs, and has far to much auto tuning.
Go listen to the wu tang clan members and come back to me

Tha Carter I is also a classic
Wayne has TWO classic albums (Tha Carter I and II)
He has THREE classic mixtapes (Dedication 2, Da Drought 3, No Ceilings)
He is basically the mixtape king.
Not to mention the numerous guest appearances where he kills it -

While Tha Carter is arguably his best and most complete album it is not, I repeat NOT a classic. Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, Marshall Mathers LP and numerous others crush that album. Granted, Wayne was in top form and if you ask me, this is around the time he started to peak lyrically, but it's virtually been downhill since. Tha Carter II was a very solid follow-up, but wasn't as well rounded. Tha Carter III may have done great numbers, but quality wise, it was the worst of the series. Wayne was way too full of himself and lazy with his lyrics. Phone Home and La La La alone drag that album down. Plus, he basically stole a Fabolous song and tacked a terrible hook and weak verse on the end. How do you get killed by verse and you made your verse way after the fact? And like the guy said earlier, classic mixtapes don't really account for too much. Dude has potentially, but he's way too big headed and commercial now to really realize it.
P.S. Lupe Fiasco trumps Wayne any day of the week. Dude's lyrics can be so deep. Food & Liquor and The Cool are 2 of the best mainstream hip hop albums to come out in the past couple of years, hands down. I can't wait for Lasers. -

I really don't see lil wayne in the top 3 of all time. i can't even understand anyhting he says and he does abuse autotune. It's not even fair comparing Jay-Z to lil wayne cause their styles are totally different. A song thats played on the radio for 3 months doesn't make it a classic rap song.. just as a classic song doesn't define the whole album. Lil wayne is quite a character, which is different than being a great rapper. His style, voice and delivery are unique, but when compared, he ranks much lower imho..

I never said that
In fact, none of his songs from Tha Carter I and II got a lot of radio play -

LMFAO waynes not even good enough to be considered on jay-z's level there is no way he's on a 2pac level .I'd put wayne in a top 20 of rappers he's wack he's second rate .He's a poorman's jay-z real talk he spent most of his whole life making mixtapes thinking he could surpass the next jay-z.The reality is he put out 11 albums and only had 4 good ones . People compare to pac because he records alot of freestyles .There is no comparison though simply because 2pac wrote songs lil wayne has verse and freestyles .
Not everyone can write a song let alone a hit song wayne can't stay relevent like pac can.Waynes music wouldn't last as long as pac's has wayne is all about the moment .Same with most of his generation of rappers they didn't contribute anything to rap or hip hop .
You cant change anything without causing some degree of disruption
