Lil Wayne’s Mark On Hip-Hop Is Undeniable | Hip Hop Awards 2018 

He literally stayed relevant through almost 3 different eras of hip hop. That’s incredible

I'm glad that they are starting to acknowledge our legends while they are here!

The fact that lil wayne damn near raised all of us and I’m only 22 years old 😩

1:40 "he's not human u send him a record he sends it back an a hour that's not regular" lol

Lil Wayne is the reason I'm still tryna pursue a music career.

Its crazy because Wayne its ONLY 36 and he a living LEGEND 🔥🔥 When it comes to PURE talent WEEZY THE GOAT 🐐🔥🔥

Kendrick had it right. He's the most consistent rapper of all time. More mixtapes than anyone, more punchlines, metaphors, BARS, than anyone.. His lyrics constantly get recycled whether they know it or not.

Wayne is the definition of hip hop... I'm glad it's being recognized

He's put out more music than entire labels do, he doesn't write his shit down, he's a literally not a human being, no one has matched his work ethic since he got in the game with comparable quality.

Feel old asf that Lil Wayne getting his appraisal and I'm 24

Carter 3 was a game changer, but Carter 2 had a chokehold on the streets

If Wayne wasn't alive music wouldn't have been how it is now

If Tupac was alive he’ll be proud of Wayne

Ill say this again 1million in a week in an era when people had to go to stores and actually buy a cd will always mean more than 1million records counted in thus streaming era ..no one will be able to do what wayne has done ..

Let's not forget he started his career at the same time as ppl like biggie, nas, wutang etc. He was in a feud with mystikal in 1994 which spawn the classic "here I go". He inspired a whole generation......regardless of how you feel, gotta give him his legend status...

Will go down as one of the top 10 most influential rappers of all time Living legend.

And somebody tried to tell me Wayne trash. That was the funniest shit I heard😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Its It's nothing like seeing and hearing black people love and respect other black people...it makes you smile big 🙆🏾‍♀️😁😍👨‍👦👏🏾👏🏾🎉

To hear other public figures talk about Wayne like this made my day. I can't stand Lil Wayne's slander, mans is a legend who inspired so many kids. He introduced us to Tyga, Drake and Nicki Minaj.

Worked hard for that, an ran through a whole decade for this and still doing it 🐐💯💯

🔥🔥🔥since my middle school days

His only 36 and being a legend. Wow 👏🏼

If it wasn't for Wayne it wouldn't be... from South Africa

Wayne, eminem, Kanye and 50 cent are the biggest reasons as to why rap still survived after 1998, cuz let's be honest hip hop wouldn't be probably be around if they weren't there.

Best rapper alive! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 always and forever be my favorite rapper since the hot boy days

No one deliverers bars like Wayne he is truly amazing

To think... it’s crazy how Wayne basically capped off 2018 after all this music was put out, it’s been a great year for music, all music in general but this album came at a perfect time💯

In my strong opinion nobody will ever have a bigger impact than weezy

G.O.A.T 🔥🔥

Much love to Lil Wayne. One of the greatest musicians to hail from NOLA! Long live Lil Wayne!! Long live the Boot!!!!

after biggie and Tupac passed there is Lil Wayne a total game changer and inspiration . break a skateboard on a nikka back TUNECHI

There is enough Lil Wayne research content to create an entire Ivy League major about him. His sociological impact on the culture of Louisiana, as well as the greater Southern/Bayou region, is unmatched in the 21st century. The quality of the art, the length of the success, and the spawning of further talent (e.g., Drake) really pushes him into a one-of-a-kind multidimensionality that few artists within any field have ever achieved. They will be studying Wayne in the 23rd century like we study Mozart in the 21st century.

One of the greatest "artist" ever. It's bigger than rap!

Nothing is more inspiring than acknowledging the legends when they are alive ,100% love for you Tunechi. THE G O A T

Am happy to be a Wayne fan..

The BEST "LIL" rapper E V E R!!! Dude was so ahead of his time it ain't even funny. Tha CARTER (III) is a CLASSIC, 💯

Lil Wayne is the 🐐

20+ years in the game....gotta give WAyne his props💪💪💪

the best thing for me is Wayne is from my generation, our generation the 90s kids, he made my teenage years like no other.. and now i see the also LEGENDS praising him like their own inspiration, Wayne had really influenced the Hip Hop culture..

South Africa 🇿🇦 approved Wayne back then...mixtape king 👑

Kendrick said Wayne mastered the guitar🤣

I said it once I said it a million times Lil Wayne may not be everybody's fav but he's impact on the culture is very well needed he's humble and he deserves he's respect the most judged artist talked about and he's dedicated to the music not rap music that's the difference

I didn't really see people with tattoos on their face until Wayne did it I never seen grown ass man wearing skinny jeans until Wayne did it I'm not with that shit but it shows how much influence he got over the world Wayne your a living legend and I salute

2018: The Return Of Hip-Hop

Finally they give him the credit he deserves

There will never be 3 consecutive albums as good as Carter 1-3. Those 3 albums in 2021 still sound just as 🔥 as when they first came out.

Incredible speech! It brought tears to my eyes!! Congratulations Wayne Michael Carter Jr. ✨🙌🎉🎉

My Favorite Rapper of All-Time and definitely in the short conversation of GOAT

My favorite rapper ever. There will never be another like him. Lol Why DJ Drama keep yelling while he narrating?

When you got Kendrick & T.I. vouching for you.. you’re solidified as the GOAT.

Coming from non Wayne fan , witnessed his historic run , 2005 -2009. Wayne is legend . Yea he wasn’t no Tupac or Nas ( Nas my favorite artist) but He broke racial barriers. This man had Black and Latinas in the hood to White Suburbanites in his movement. He influenced and left his mark . And to top it off, he put on Drake , which is one biggest music artist of this Decade.

Aye imma say this all y’all haters who don’t like Wayne then step off this channel this is for the fans of Wayne stop trying to push em with him or compare this man is a living legend so respect it and stop trying to bash his music been a fan of him since hot boys days and to see some of y’all comments really making me believe that y’all not really hip hop heads jus bandwagon other artist you like so let me help you out cause your favorite artist not getting awards dont mean you gotta bash this dude career sad you can’t get acknowledge for your god giving talent without ppl hateing

Lil Wayne got so much music you can lose half of ya collection and not trip. Hurt af but not trippin. 😭😭😭💕

I watch this like 10 time 🔥🔥👌🏾👌🏾

One of the G.O.A.T! To Ever do it and still to this day !

Lil Wayne is the reason i still try to make music, even as a hobby.

Remember in 2009, everyone hated Wayne but now in 2022, he’s getting the credit he deserves.

man us fans should be proud wayne receiving his flowers now is like the release of the snyder cut...after the world denying him for so long its undeniable now hes the best

Wayne in this Prime 2004-2011

Lil Wayne is a LEGEND ✊🏾💯

Yesssssssssssssssssss it is about time!!!!!!!!!!!! Love him! Awesome and talented despite all of the setbacks!

The GOAT had HIP-HOP on lock 98-08 10 Str8 years 🔥

Lil Wayne is the King of hip hop if it wasn't for Lil Wayne Drake Nicki Minaj and Tyga won't be here today

Don't forget the mixtapes. Wayne the King of taking somebody beat and murdering it

I barely speak english. But his verses are insane. I think. He makes poetry and hip hop should be happy to have him

Yes definitely a legend and definitely earned his way..and definitely should celebrate him and all of them..

love you forever and always lil Wayne

I cried and had goosebumps watching my boy get crowned

After biggie he is the trendsetter of putting babies on album covers

I love him !!! ❤️ and he’s so nice in person. They finally giving him his credit !!!

He been a legend my whole life and I’m 16!!!!

Wayne been hot since the the lights out album real fans know biznite

Ofc he is one of the best he can rap on any beat and his flow is his all support from Trinidad

I was 12 my step dad and me were taking a trip from Illinois which is my home state.. to New York ( he was a truck driver) and I remember the first time I heard Lil Wayne was with the hot boys...p I was playing lights off.. and I remember replaying the song over and over again to the point where I knew every single line and from that moment on.. Wayne has been a staple in my hip hop diet...

Ain’t no love in this music business no more, Wayne is being honored and none of the fallas he brought up are there with him.. no Drake, Minaj, Ross and above Baby. That sucks....

Fire! 🔥🔥🔥

I never like videos on RU-vid but this is definitely worth it.

In Kenya, we did an event years back called "Weedy Night." Only Wayne's music played a whole night straight. Damn.

Lil wayne this legend the rap
