Lil Wayne Thinks He Should Have Been Named As The Greatest Rapper Of All Time

Lil Wayne Thinks He Should Have Been Named As The Greatest Rapper Of All Time

Earlier this month, Billboard released its list of the 50 greatest rappers of all time, but according to Lil Wayne, the ranking is inaccurate.

Being ranked as the seventh-best rapper of all time is an impressive achievement for the artist.

Nonetheless, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., who goes by the name Lil Wayne, believes that he deserved to be ranked at the very top of the list.

During an interview on Zane Lowe's Apple Music radio show, the 40-year-old rapper talked about the list.

"Man, who the hell is before me? Was the list including all hip-hop, like before and after as well?" Wayne asked.

The top six rappers on the list were Jay-Z at number one, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Nas, 2Pac, Eminem, and The Notorious B.I.G.

"I will tell you that I am a motherf***ing one," said Wayne. "Everybody whose names you named, they also know I'm number one. Go ask 'em. They know what it is."

"The last tour I got off was with Blink-182," he added.

"At the end of the day, I find myself at the country music awards and doing tours with Blink-182. There's not a lot of rappers in this position who can say they've done that. I stand alone on that mountain."

Ice Cube, who was ranked 18th on the list, also criticized it.

"I don't f**k with Billboard or the editor," Cube told TMZ. "Billboard ain't hip-hop so their opinion don't matter. So who gives a f**k?

"It's an irrelevant list. It's like a**holes: everybody got one and they all stink."

During his interview on Apple Music, Lil Wayne shared that his fitness regime mainly revolves around his dietary habits.

He has been fortunate enough to have a personal chef for over twenty years, which has helped him steer clear of fast food. As a result, he cannot recall the last time he indulged in it.

"When I was 19, I moved to Miami and my mom is a chef and she was very happy for the move because New Orleans is crazy. "One thing she really wanted me to do was get a personal chef," he said.

"So, from the age of 19 to now, I've always had a personal chef. I don't know what McDonald's smell like. I haven't eaten any fast food in forever."

"People always say to me, 'What's your workout? What do you do when you get in the gym?' I be like, 'Only gyms I know is Jim Jones.'"

"I can't lift a weight, bro. I don't do no workout or nothing like that."
