Dj Khaled Explains why Lil Wayne is The Greatest Ever 

Unless you were around during the time that Wayne branched off and started dropping mixtapes, you will never fully understand the fact that Wayne is undeniably the GOAT

He’s not lying because we witnessed it ourselves in that era, Wayne was a literal machine

Lil Wayne and Wiz khalifa at the same table brings tears to my eyes

Wayne and Ross are a huge part of Dj Khaled’s success, that’s why he’s so passionate about them

Wayne’s light flick is on par with Stone Cold’s glass break Intro.

People who didn’t grow up listening to Wayne really don’t understand how that dude was just incredible. Mix tape after mix tape, and then go commercial and make hit after hit.

It’s rare when a man can pass on so much respect to another man like this. Most people only praise and talk highly of those that have passed away! We need more of this! Praise and speak highly of those that are with us still not when they die

Giving them their flowers while they are still alive. This is power ⚘✊🏾👏🏾✌🏾💙🥂🍾⚘

2007/08 Lil Wayne was something else!!!!!! really a living legend 👑

I love DJ Khaled’s Passion and Lil Wayne’s work ethic 💯🔥

Watching this video, I feel motivated because we all need that one friend to hype us up the way Khaled hyped up Wayne

dj khaled is always a good energy to be around.

Ayo I’m glad he did 2 things. 1. Gave Wayne his flowers cause that man is the goat 2. Giving Ross some love cause his run was nasty too and he still drops a banger from time to time without effort

❤❤❤ give him his flowers I love it

He killed that "We takin over" verse but that "Brown Paper bag" was somethin different 🔥🔥🔥

Khaled’s passion is so genuine i love it

I am legit grateful for being in my teens during Weezy’s uprise and literally living my life to his music during his entire peak. Literally the greatest music ever came from him and kids these days will simply never understand how Weezy’s music was in every speaker you were around, for YEARS. It wasnt just a dope song you heard everywhere, this man embedded himself into the core of peoples lives on a daily basis because his lyrics, flow, and style just blew the hell out of your mind. It was impossible to not fall into his tracks. Literally the greatest memories of my life have lil wayne playing in the background, certain songs bring back feelings I had from moments of my life and thank god for him because I can always revisit those feelings and moments thanks to Weezy. People today just do not understand the impact.

Wayne is such a Goat to the point where his mixtapes alone are iconic masterpieces in Hip Hop history 🔥😮‍💨

To remain relevant throughout so many generations is legendary. Hes the best

Wayne was that one artist who kept us glued from way back till now never know what's gonna drop. Iconic👌

I just feel like Wayne’s run was one of those things you just had to be there & be outside during those times dude was just on another planet from the swag, bars, metaphors, bruh this man literally had other rappers scared Wayne would remix their songs 😂🐐🐐

No cap this exactly how i have to argue with people about how wayne the GOAT,gotta stand up, walk off for a second, come back still trying to explain😭

I love it, Wayne is a lyrical genius. I've never heard any other rapper have as many bind blowing punch lines as he has had. I remember the first time I ever really listened to rap in high school in like 2007 was the Carter 2 album in my friends jeep. I was hooked instantly and have never looked back

I believe Wayne when he says "idk what verse" or the "i don't remember anything" .. I also believe Wayne when he says "the rhyming haunt's him and keeps him from sleeping because he can't stop thinking of rhymes" .. crazy ish

I love how passionate Khaled is about Wayne because Weezy is truly a fucking treasure to this world. Man Wayne is a legend i dont care what anybody says. A living legend and when he dies he will forever be stamped as a legend. His come up was crazy and i love how he went on a REMIX spree. The era where he was dropping mixtape after mixtape with Himm just going off on already existing hits from other artist. Every single time Wayne made Their songs HIS SONGS LOL. He was going off on everybody's songs and i genuinely loved that shit. He was feeding us music constantly. His work ethic was/is amazing. His worldplay, his delivery, his witty lines omg bro really put together some of the most iconic bars ever! Wayne we love you and cherish you man. We glad you here! He aint even reach 50 yet and he has accomplished a lot!!! God bless him

Just seeing wiz around legends touches my soul deep

Lil Wayne....from 2002 to 2009 was UNTOUCHABLE

My days in college was literally only Wayne playing on the radio 24/7. Plus he was featured on everyone’s songs. He really took over the game that time. Only those who were around that time can testify.

Yall. I'm a 38 year old man from Mississippi. Wayne had a run right after everybody left Cash Money in 2000 or so for literally a decade where he changed the Mixtape game and hip-hop forever. I'm talmbout SQAD UP mixtapes...to Dedications...to No Ceilings...etc. Today's kids will never know. Smh

This sit down was incredible, this speech will be remembered forever.

I grew up listening to weezy, I remember listening to him everyday on my way to school. Man played a huge part of life, truly the GOAT.

Lil Wayne had the greatest 5 year span between the years of 2004 and 2008 he was invincible no one was touching him no rapper ever that was the greatest 5 years of music I ever heard he put everything into it😢

Wayne the goat 🐐 fav rapper since a child. I’m 30 now. ✊🏽

People don’t understand how good Wayne was.. man wtf he was making hit after hit for like 7 years straight in the 2000s

Wayne made my secondary school days superb. everything he touched turned to gold

DJ Khaled is on point. Lil Wayne was prolific and got better when he did his debut album. He made mixtape after mixtape, even rapping over other rappers ' beats. He had great metaphors and witty lyrics . Then he went mainstream and still hit hard. Yes he is a GOAT.

THIS is how you give a person their flowers while they’re living. Wayne funny as hell 😂😂

Who else went and listened to we taking over after watching this.

I’m truly grateful for remembering that era and being in my youth. One thing Khaled did was say “we didn’t have Instagram and that shit..you didn’t see what I seen” which is crazy facts because you had to be in that time to understand. Wayne is a legend and kids nowadays can’t understand the shit on that level. It’s a classic “you had to be there” era some of us came up in

Wayne really blitz “we taking over” like he went CRAAAAAAAAAZY

"I am the beast. Feed me rappers or feed me beats." Like if you finished it in your head.

Wayne's verse on "We Taking Over" has to be one of my favorite verses by him. I was like 10 or 11 years old rapping every bar word for word when i would listen to that song! Its forever a classic and it reminds me of important periods of my life back then. Im 26 now

The vibes in this interview are immaculate

I love the passion this the realist I’ve ever seen him talk

Favorite part of the interview

30 hit records in a day an still find time to give Khaled 2 more classics that you hear today! Man these new rappers might want to catch up before they call them self the goat!

DJ Khalid a lil Wayne super fan❤

We takin over is still one of mt favorite songs till this day 🔥🔥🔥 heard it once when I was a child and its always just been that song 😂

We were college kids in Ghana west Africa and all we heard on the radio and TV and internet was WAYNE WAYNE WAYNE WAYNE. WHAT A LEGEND HE IS !!!!!!

Carter 2, 3, dedications, no ceilings, mixtape weezy era is still unmatched to this day. By anyone dead or alive. I am the beast, Feed me rappers or feed me beats, I’m untamed I need a leash, I’m insane I need a shrink- weezy on we taking over…. Basically made it his song.

Truly amazing !!

Khaled passion is crazy and inspiring

Honestly insane how much Wayne's lyrics have changed the game haha and still coming with 🔥🔥

Wayne 'We taking over' is easily my favorite wayne song ever

Legends . God Bless Y'all . 💪🏼🙏🏽😇

I can feel the passion ❤

Actually Wayne had been saying he was the best rapper alive.. but I wasn't convinced until I heard "We taking Over". I became a believer then!

He's the reason why I started rapping and I know I'm not the only one 🔥🙏A Living Legend....

Love these fellas, listened to them all growing up in high school. Big OGs here.

Legends in house big up...

Wayne don’t get his flowers anymore . It’s sad cuz a lot of his greatest tracks aren’t even accessible on current streaming platforms . You really had to grow up listening to him to understand the impact & influence he had on the rap culture . Every rapper in this new wave has taken a chapter outta Wayne’s book . He’s the GOAT imo

God is the greatest of all time!!!

This conversation makes me so happy.

Bless🙌

That verse was something for the ages. I still remember it word for word even though I haven't heard the damn song in almost a decade

that man is the best rapper alive I mean if you don’t get it ‘you don’t get it’ leave it there ❤️

This is legendary

I went through my old burned cds and came across Brown Paper Bag. Now I listened to it every once in a while. Aged well

Emotional speech 😭😭 Wayne the goat

He did that iconic verse after recording 30 records 🦍💯

There was a website I used to check in my library at school everyday for new lil Wayne songs and there would always be something new it was crazy.

Lil wayne 2007 to until he went to jail was the best rapper alive and possibly hit a level that no one has ever hit in the rap game.

anybody that knows how many hits this dude got just on mixtapes, would never deny hes the greatest

We need to give flowers to Khaled's chair!

Man i remember 15 years ago i started smoking weed. My weed dealer that i always went to was bumping lil waynes mixtapes everytime i went pick up. From there on my mind was blown away. Everytime i would go pick up smoke a bowl with my dealer and he would put on the dopest lil wayne mix tape songs

Wayne knows the formula and he is spittin these lyrics out like a machine. There will probably be no one else like him

2007 and I was in Zimbabwe doing my 7th grade and I came across Lil Wayne's Live from the 504 freestyle, that freestyle turned me to instantly become a hip hop fan and after his dominance era I really haven't been feeling it coz I just felt like he defined it and after the new school kids started screeing and mumbling I just felt like it's only down from here.

And the verse goes..... I am a beast Feed me rappers or feed me beats I'm untamed, I need a leash I'm insane, I need a shrink I love brain, I need a leech Why complain on easy streets? I don't even talk, I let the Visa speak And I like my Sprite Easter pink And my wrist special par but the mule is cooler I have more jewels than your jeweler Touch and I will bust, your medulla That's a bullethole, it is not a tumor Red like red light, stop your rumors I stay on track like a box of Pumas Now just r-r-rock with Junior I am the little big Kahuna, y'dig?

I’ve been listening to him since I was about 10 so on the computer I’m 21 now . He was probably one of the first rappers I listened to

Yes sir! All Greatness

Khaled is special man! Just radiates this energy! I don’t see how you can hate on him.

Wayne a beast. 💯💯💯

you my favorite star you will remain a legend in hip hop you the king of hip hop for me lil wayne

Wayne is super humble my mans don't even remember or care 💯💯💯

There are no words to describe how impeccable that verse was

Wayne just sitting there proud of himself 😂😂💯

gotta love music

God bless you wayne🙌🙌❤️ i see you💯😎🙌❤️

Bruhhh Wayne didn’t even remember that verse?? That verse was iconic on that song, and he even went and did another 🔥 freestyle to the beat afterwards. The amount of legendary verses this man put out in his career is crazy 🤯

The greatest impact on hip hop is Wayne… longest run , cultural impact, mixtape game!!! GOAT

Man they just vibing nun but love and respect for each other💯💪🏽

I love that Tune the only one not drinking 💪🏽🔥🎙️🎃 I’m sober af and love it & live it.

Gave it a thumbs up just off the passion Khaled has for the craft of hip hop shown in this clip.

"just spent a 100 of that brown paper bag money, it feels good to be young money cash money, rehab I'm addicted to fast money, I got stack and rubber bands up in that" Thats all you need to hear

so grateful to have watched wayne grow his entire career. goat easily

Lil Wayne is one of those legends that people try to underrate/overlook. He is literally a living legend up there with them GOATs

Wayne have been there since the days of lil bow wow, so proud of him and I believe he’s coming back stronger He’s giving us the best male and female hip hop heads

feed me rappers or feed me beats!! the way the song build up to his verse and the way the music video revealed him at the end was iconic

If anyone wonders why artists love working with Khaled, THIS is why.

Love DJ Khaled's passion because he is not lying! Love that he gives Ross and Wayne their flowers while they are still here. They gotta be admired. Gotta love Khaled and his passion
