Lil Wayne, whether hes dope or weak, is the biggest modern influence rapper.
Why?
Because when Lil Wayne was making raps full of metaphors, similes, humor, punchlines puns and word play, nobody else was. He became famous doing it and now everyone else is. If you had rhymes like that in 1999, people would think you are gay or something.
And now, for the past few years, Eminem has been doing it too. Yes, he did this on occasion back before Lil Wayne got airplay, but now he's doing it a lot more. Half of the rhymes in Recovery, a lot in Hell The Sequel and his freestyles.
Not to say they are bad, but the Eminem fans are Lil Wayne haters, where do you think Eminem got his new style from? Or everyone else to be fair.
