The thing is, he has the respect of alot of the rappers in the game right now also.
Jay Z calls him is "heir" in the Mr. Carter song on tha carter III and also called him the best rapper out a year ago in a BET interview.
Kanye west called him a living legend.
Young Buck, and Lloyd Banks both admitted to bumping Lil Wayne's Music more than any other "non affiliated" G unit member.
The Game himself said he would be priveleged to a "blood brothers" album with Wayne.
He's my favorite out right now. The thing you gotta understand is, like Poke said, he's got the white people buying. he's got the cross over crowd. The white, and the blacks. No racism, just real talk.
And of course, the ever so famous lollipop has girls creaming their pants after the first beat drops...
Rap these days ain't what it was 10 years ago. And I'm sure 90% of the people hating on Wayne are definitely those who come from the 90's generation of Rap....

That's nothing new. Public Enemy, N.W.A. Luke, 2 Pac and Biggie already paved that road.
Of course we are from that era. The late 1970's, 1980's and 1990's made rap what it is today.
Although the problem with rap today is, these new Artists are not really putting much thought into their work.
Raps roots are political. Rappers back in the day, brought their message from the ghetto into the suburbs. At one point in time, Rappers called their music, "The Black CNN". Rap had a true meaning at one time. It had skills. It had style.
If you're not sure where I'm coming from, then watch the movie "Brown Sugar".
