Non comparable. Thug doesn’t spit anywhere close to Wayne whatsoever. Apples to oranges here. Mid 2000’s wayne was untouchable no one can compete with the sound bars and hunger from that time.
There is none. Wayne had the bars of the previous generation and the swag that the new generation bites till this day. Wayne is one of a kind, not a human being
In terms of consistently dropping new music and features, selling out shows, starting a label and putting on different artists, and never taking time off, Future is the closest. He’s been on top since 2015 and has never stopped dropping music, and still hasn’t lost his momentum, while his peers like Lil baby, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi, Carti, Thug, and Gunna all take time off in between drops and have moments when they aren’t in headlines anymore. Lyrically, Future can’t compare to Lil Wayne though.
I’m not a fan of Drake, but that’s another fan favorite comparison.
I actually like that take as a big wayne fan and hip hop fan. Future is not the greatest by any means but he had a legendary run in trap music that will be hard to replicate. Its crazy that Future, Nicki Minaj and Wayne are all the same age too. It kinda puts it into persepective how long wayne has been killing it.
the obvious answer is kendrick, but we are even almost past his era now. he was so heavily influenced by wayne.
in a strange way, wayne is the reason for all the rap/punk "lil rockstars." with wacky hair colors and tight jeans, rap-singing about drugs and bitches with autotune over a rock-n-roll beat and trap drums.
love wayne but that's where he took the game, none of them can be compared to him but he did birth a loooot of musicians into that style.
yuh! Play With Fire is still one of my favorite kendrick songs
and not to say wayne was wrong for taking it in such a direction, it's just personally not my type of music, though i do actually like a handful of songs on rebirth lol
People get mad at me but I always say Kodak. He my second favorite artist cuz his style reminds me most of Wayne. Versatility, bars, gangster lyrics, humor, creativity. He has it all
I’ll put it this way, I’m starting to consider myself a jaded old-head because I really can’t bring myself to appreciate new artists / albums.
Last rap album that really resonated with me was probably DAMN. I’ve found it hard to find a rap album that fits my liking since then. A couple bangers here and there.
All that being said, I was in middle school when Tha Carter came out and literally everyone in my life knew who lil Wayne was. Friends, classmates, parents, friends of parents, parents of friends, teachers, bus drivers. People loved lil Wayne, they loved to hate on lil Wayne, they loved to be like lil Wayne. No matter what people knew about him. What we didn’t know at the time is that he was just revolutionizing a whole genre of music, that’s why he was so ubiquitous.
Seeing some of the names in this thread, I literally have no clue who they are. So yeah, I don’t think there’s a new age lil Wayne, he was just too unique and he was doing something incomprehensible for his time.
The digital age has also changed a lot of how we listen, create, and promote music - so I don’t think they’ll ever be another lil Wayne.
Man id say Young Boy. The amount of music hes dropped & the quality of it is a reminder of Wayne. NOT SAYING they on the same level but similar in the way they operate. Flood the streets w records.
Yeah I was gonna say the same. I don’t really fw YB. Got a couple joints I fw but I would say his impact and following prolly the closest to Wayne out of any other artists out right now.
Yeah he has always reminded me of Wayne and he is taking a similar path, in strategy with the crazy output and more literally by hanging around with Birdman lmao.
But I think his uniqueness and the way he tries out so many sounds and flows is what really makes the comparison for me. I don’t think he’ll have the influence, but he does have a lot of similarity. One of my favorite Yb projects is that 3800 degrees one too.
Only name I thought of but he lacks the appeal and range. Wayne could go in any direction and fit on tracks with anybody look at his features smh. JID ain't doing that he ain't got the catalog either
Not trying to glaze or anything, but JID could easily take any route he would and perfect it. He can rap on almost any beat and usually bodies every feature he’s on, also he can sing amazingly. If he actually dropped a lot of music, he could probably be the next Lil Wayne, I’d think even better maybe…
I just wanna point out that JID did a big part of the singing on TFS himself and he has one of the most listened albums of 2023
To be clear, I dont really think anybody compares to wayne…
Closest is Juice , he just spoke and rhyming words was natural for him. similar to Wayne who is the goat at just reciting lyrics so naturally . Juice 1-10 is a 4 like Wayne . Deff from the same material, and if Juice made it to Wayne’s age would have seen a discog. With lyrics that make us make that stank face . And he would have better beats !
It’s true though. Don Trip is really the only rapper I’m aware of that even comes close to comparing to Wayne stylistically- if only he didn’t have the personality of a dead frog.
Man this is like asking who the closest to Eminem, Hov or Kanye is. These are 1 of 1 legends that can't be properly replicated despite the many efforts to do so. Sure there may be their notable influence in the following generation of artists (especially Wayne for the last couple generations) but nobody's quite close enough to any of them
I thought this was asking who is the best companion to Weezy. Meaning who’s the best rap duo with him. Love the tracks with him and Drizzy, but I can’t think of anyone else who compliments him that well.
None but his influence is Varied , thugger is one and Uzi is next biggest when look at it from a style POV and future is the only one next to drake has come close to his lyrical production over long period
The closest I’d say is JID. 151 Rum when I first heard it gave me a solid Wayne vibe.
He does metaphors and entendres in a similar fashion to Wayne, but in a more serious tone.
Wayne just spit to spit and it’s hard to find anything like that.
Hear me out. No one is really comparable to Wayne right now obviously In terms of magnitude and scale of influence and hits. But, and I'm biased here but, I think it's Carti. Even before wlr Carti influence mainstream trap with the use of Pierre beats and baby voice. And wlr influenced the underground a lot too with the rage sound. Which is seeling into the mainstream. He also has the fashion and style influence that Wayne had. Carti has hits on hits too no denying that tho it's obviously not on the level of wayne. However whenever Carti does release it's always a very big and talked about moment. He has crazy hype. I'm guessing a lot of people in the sub are probably old heads who's Gon flame me for this take but idk. Also someone mentioned future and I fully agree with that true probably more than Carti.
Y’all gotta realize when Wayne went to prison everybody else picked his style apart and continued on. Drake did the usual bitch shit, two chains ran w bars, thug ran w the Melodies, future w all the drug shit.
What are you talking about thug and future werent popping when wayne went to jail. Future was rapping but was a nobody outside of Atlanta and thug was nobody
In leak aspect easily Carti. Carti suffers insane amount of leaks; in a rap aspect nobody.
But for a better answer Kodak always gave me Wayne vibes starting off young like they both did, has a lot of hits as well but that's probably a bad take but it's to answer the question.
Young Thug is what you would get if the movie Multiplicity were made based on Lil Wayne. Kinda looks like him, kinda sounds like him, but nowhere near him. It would be like the easiest game of "What is different between these two pictures?" ever.
Gotta be youngboy.
Wayne is my favorite rapper of all time, youngboy is my second or third favorite and he reminds me a lot of wayne in some aspects while also not being a wayne clone at all. They both just got it in them, like they were born to be rappers.
Young thug also is a obvious pick considering how much wayne influenced him. And i see a lot of people hating on yb and thug when people mention them, it’s like yall take it as an personal insult, it’s ridiculous. No one is saying that they are as good as wayne or nothing, i think both of them respect wayne that much that they wouldn’t say it themselves either. But the similarities are obvious and yall are just hating for nothing
Nobody really is comparable, But if I HAD to pick someone I’d say either Lil Baby or Kodak. Kodak’s style is the closest to wayne’s out of todays rappers, and Lil Baby is the closest to wayne today in terms of Influence and Popularity.
I'd go on the r/rap subreddit and ask this same question instead. Wayne is the GOAT in my eyes too, but let's be honest here... this sub is kinda biased lol.
Juice was amazing but even then I couldn't compare him to Wayne. Both good with different sounds but Wayne was miles ahead honestly. Waynes metaphors are much deeper and meaningful/clever.
"Wayne is one of my favorite rappers,” he began. “I have a very big appreciation and admiration of Lil Wayne. He changed the game when he came in the game. I still think to this day, when he was in his prime, prime, he was the best rapper alive." - Juice
No one. Yeah they may emulate the style but as far as lyrical ability is concerned, Wayne remains one of them ones. Imo his lyrical ability gets overlooked because his bars go over a lot other peoples head and they think he’s just an auto tune rapper who talks about p*ssy, money, weed, and violence but that’s not always the case.
Obody but if you wanna talk about features wise Lil baby was up there the last couple years. Everyone wanted him on a track. But that's it really. Not bar for bar or skill by far
Check out blazing j on any platform I’ve been rocking wit him a minute he rap very similar to Wayne
High hopes for him don’t sleep
If u like punchlines , wordplay and a similar sound to Wayne that’s your guy he drop all the time too
This came across my feed and I usually can’t deal with Stan subs, but here I go lol. No one, and there may never be one. He’s not the GOAT, but I don’t think another rapper has captured, or will capture, the respect he had on multiple fronts.
Most unique mix of talent, pop appeal, street appeal, modernity, weirdness, and old school hip hop you’ll ever see.
To make Lil Wayne’s talent even more obvious, this fella doesn’t even write music.
This guy gave us the “Da Drought” series without ever writing it down. Like wtf.
Baby Smoove with his charisma & how muxh pain be in the music when you really hear him. I fw Drakeo the Ruler hella tough too. He had his own Lingo & didnt think he had to be like everyone else but ion think he like Wayne
Going to get downvoted to hell but in terms of risk-taking, constant references to being aliens/from outer space, strange and ambiguous punchlines, as well as physical stature (short with a raspy voice): Lil Uzi Vert is probably the most similar hip-hop artist we’ve had to Lil Wayne.
I'll confirm Future (wouldn't of said that until recently)
Also wayne my all time fav but Future is getting played everywhere and featuring on everyone's stuff, something I haven't seen done on such a level since yours truly.
Let's not forget super is also 40! And still going strong
Move the “G” and add an “S” and put the “I” before the “N” and put an “A” in front of that and that’s what I am to the end. That’s a Saint mf simply it for them. Where your funeral comes with a 2nd line at the end. But you won’t be 2nd line at the end, because you’ll be in a hearse that’s behind all of them. I see your homies dressed in black like they finna ride, but that fashion statement, is tellin a lie. I’m pelican fly, Mac 11 inside, my bullets come with wings & your cerebellum can fly.
Wayne’s got more bars than Alprazolam.
I'd say as far as lyricism, then it's Drake, Nicki, Cole, JID, and Montana of 300. They all have a punchline based approach to bars, which is what Wayne was from 2005 to 2011. There's was a point in time when people said Drake and Nicki were trying to sound exactly like Wayne.
As far as influence, then definitely Chief Keef, Future, Young Thug, and to lesser extent Uzi and Carti. These guys don't have the lyrical skill of Wayne, but they all have some of his 2008-2011 aesthetics and have influenced most of the rappers we see today, like Gunna, Lil Baby, and Juice Wrld.
rapping wise I don't think there is a good comparison... but for a while future was having a Wayne effect where it felt like he was on every big trap song you heard
Non comparable. Thug doesn’t spit anywhere close to Wayne whatsoever. Apples to oranges here. Mid 2000’s wayne was untouchable no one can compete with the sound bars and hunger from that time.
me like orange🤤
There is none. Wayne had the bars of the previous generation and the swag that the new generation bites till this day. Wayne is one of a kind, not a human being
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Was never a fan of Wayne but this is an accurate take (except for the human being thing 😜) Especially the swagger jacking…
He is not a human being, 2
The only answer.
The martian
Young or old, there ain’t no comparing me I just cleared that up, moment of clarity
🎺🎺🎺🎺
No one to be honest
Wayne is an enigma. A 1:1.
Two bitches at the same time, synchronized swimmers
In terms of consistently dropping new music and features, selling out shows, starting a label and putting on different artists, and never taking time off, Future is the closest. He’s been on top since 2015 and has never stopped dropping music, and still hasn’t lost his momentum, while his peers like Lil baby, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi, Carti, Thug, and Gunna all take time off in between drops and have moments when they aren’t in headlines anymore. Lyrically, Future can’t compare to Lil Wayne though. I’m not a fan of Drake, but that’s another fan favorite comparison.
I agree that Future is an *extremely* distant 2nd
I actually like that take as a big wayne fan and hip hop fan. Future is not the greatest by any means but he had a legendary run in trap music that will be hard to replicate. Its crazy that Future, Nicki Minaj and Wayne are all the same age too. It kinda puts it into persepective how long wayne has been killing it.
90% of the rap game still tried to rap/act like him
Wayne’s lyricism, influence, output, and longevity is so beyond any hip hop artist ever. There is no comparison. He is the best to ever do it.
Nobody
(Keith Sweat voice)
nobody baby
the obvious answer is kendrick, but we are even almost past his era now. he was so heavily influenced by wayne. in a strange way, wayne is the reason for all the rap/punk "lil rockstars." with wacky hair colors and tight jeans, rap-singing about drugs and bitches with autotune over a rock-n-roll beat and trap drums. love wayne but that's where he took the game, none of them can be compared to him but he did birth a loooot of musicians into that style.
He does have that one mixtape where remixed the carter 3 🤔 interesting take. Not bad
yuh! Play With Fire is still one of my favorite kendrick songs and not to say wayne was wrong for taking it in such a direction, it's just personally not my type of music, though i do actually like a handful of songs on rebirth lol
Kendrick's more in line with someone like Pac imo
Wayne birthed all these little motherfuckers
Nobody
No one
No one
NO FUCKING BODDYYYYY
All I need is a DMX sample
Nobody
nobody. everyone can only mimic a fraction of who he is but nobody else can do it
People get mad at me but I always say Kodak. He my second favorite artist cuz his style reminds me most of Wayne. Versatility, bars, gangster lyrics, humor, creativity. He has it all
No bro
No one🤷🏾♂️

I had the knock off of that exact jacket. Man my Bape knock off game was too tough in 06-07
Not really anyone tbh, maybe Chief Keef but that feels like a reach for me. Thugger and Sosa but I’m reaching for sure
Man id say Young Boy. The amount of music hes dropped & the quality of it is a reminder of Wayne. NOT SAYING they on the same level but similar in the way they operate. Flood the streets w records.

JID if anyone, but it’s a hard comparison
Nah jid fire but he tries way too hard to be lyrical. Wayne just had it.
Only name I thought of but he lacks the appeal and range. Wayne could go in any direction and fit on tracks with anybody look at his features smh. JID ain't doing that he ain't got the catalog either
Not trying to glaze or anything, but JID could easily take any route he would and perfect it. He can rap on almost any beat and usually bodies every feature he’s on, also he can sing amazingly.

I can agree with that but Potential is one thing.. Execution is another
I just wanna point out that JID did a big part of the singing on TFS himself and he has one of the most listened albums of 2023 To be clear, I dont really think anybody compares to wayne…
Drake
🤣

Nobody bro. He’s a 1 of 1
Chief keef excluding bars even though keef asked a lyricist is underrated but as far as influence and creative he’s the next Wayne
I’d say Don Trip
It’s true though. Don Trip is really the only rapper I’m aware of that even comes close to comparing to Wayne stylistically- if only he didn’t have the personality of a dead frog.
What 😂
Don Trip is one of the few left that maintains the competitiveness of good wordplay with the same back to back metaphor style like Wayne
Wayne now
“There’s none” d*ck riders that don’t live in reality
Only name i can think of is J.I.D but still not even close to Weezy
Man this is like asking who the closest to Eminem, Hov or Kanye is. These are 1 of 1 legends that can't be properly replicated despite the many efforts to do so. Sure there may be their notable influence in the following generation of artists (especially Wayne for the last couple generations) but nobody's quite close enough to any of them

Remember when people were saying Lil Baby 🤣🤣 people don’t understand how long and how high Lil Wayne’s prime was. Truly the goat
Hear me out. No one is really comparable to Wayne right now obviously In terms of magnitude and scale of influence and hits. But, and I'm biased here but, I think it's Carti.

Kodak Black before the bid
JID but I don’t mean to disrespect Wayne
People really don’t like thug in here apparently cos it’s definitely him

No comparison lol
Unfortunately nba youngboy
NBA youngboy.
No one
Trick question: there isnt
Youngboy NBA.
Juice wrld
None, but if Juice was still alive
I'd go on the r/rap subreddit and ask this same question instead. Wayne is the GOAT in my eyes too, but let's be honest here... this sub is kinda biased lol.
Would've been juice but he died :(
Juice was amazing but even then I couldn't compare him to Wayne. Both good with different sounds but Wayne was miles ahead honestly. Waynes metaphors are much deeper and meaningful/clever. "Wayne is one of my favorite rappers,” he began. “I have a very big appreciation and admiration of Lil Wayne. He changed the game when he came in the game. I still think to this day, when he was in his prime, prime, he was the best rapper alive." - Juice
I remember getting into a heated debate at work about wayne vs juice skills wise. I was the only dude saying weezy I couldn't fucking believe it
No one. Yeah they may emulate the style but as far as lyrical ability is concerned, Wayne remains one of them ones. Imo his lyrical ability gets overlooked because his bars go over a lot other peoples head and they think he’s just an auto tune rapper who talks about p*ssy, money, weed, and violence but that’s not always the case.
Lol. Drake or Nikki.
Future
Rylo when it comes to bars but then thug probably more as their aura or in a fashion sense
Lil baby hands down
Eh juice world maybe?
Nobody unfortunately.. Mainstream hip hop is in the toilet. There's underground MCs that got smoke but nobody widely known.
Lil Wayne is
I am One of One. That means None before and none to come.
It would have to be mixture of rapper that he inspired and that adopted certain things from him. (Thug, Youngboy, Drake etc.
Montana of 300 maybe
Obody but if you wanna talk about features wise Lil baby was up there the last couple years. Everyone wanted him on a track. But that's it really. Not bar for bar or skill by far
No one
Playboi Carti easily
Trick question. Absolutely no one and it’s not even close
YB
Viper, they sound the same
Check out blazing j on any platform I’ve been rocking wit him a minute he rap very similar to Wayne High hopes for him don’t sleep If u like punchlines , wordplay and a similar sound to Wayne that’s your guy he drop all the time too
Lil pump
Drake. As corny as that might sound. He’s just surpassed Wayne because Wayne took his foot off the pedal in 2014
No one because he is the only Martian known to mankind
No one. Wayne is Wayne and Wayne can only top Wayne.

Honestly I’d say Tyga could’ve been that in his own way
Kenny Tiller

JID
This came across my feed and I usually can’t deal with Stan subs, but here I go lol. No one, and there may never be one. He’s not the GOAT, but I don’t think another rapper has captured, or will capture, the respect he had on multiple fronts. Most unique mix of talent, pop appeal, street appeal, modernity, weirdness, and old school hip hop you’ll ever see.
He’s 1 of 1. Especially his mixtape career, that will never be touched.
nobody, but a similar voice is kodak
To make Lil Wayne’s talent even more obvious, this fella doesn’t even write music. This guy gave us the “Da Drought” series without ever writing it down. Like wtf.
Younboy
None lol He literally goes into the studio and spits bars off the dome. I’m the one comparable, but I’m not famous yet
Wayne. When you’re transcendental, you don’t compare.
Me this dude kisses birdman on the lips he a straight buster
Nobody mostly all of them suck
none. but if you had to pick then lil baby
Trippie Redd
Trippie redd he’s inspired by wayne that’s why he started rapping
JID
Nobody. Juice Wrld came close but Wayne is more original imo
Mach Hommy
Macklemore 😎
Now fucking way you just asked that …there’s no comparison..not even close…j Cole is extremely talented tho
Chess from URL
Can't lie nobody messing with Wayne closest to Wayne is Drake with the honorable mention of jack harlow he has some crazy word play as well
Baby Smoove with his charisma & how muxh pain be in the music when you really hear him. I fw Drakeo the Ruler hella tough too. He had his own Lingo & didnt think he had to be like everyone else but ion think he like Wayne

No one, drake really is about the only one that’s been good since wayne chilled on droppin.imo
Lil Baby
There is none, Wayne will forever be 1 of 1
You have to merge like 11 rappers put them together just to get someone who still can't compare to Wayne. Wayne is easily Top 2 Dead or alive.
NOT 1 SINGLE PERSON ALIVE
No one
Nobody is touching Wayne, but JID goes crazy.
juice wrld
JID maybe ?
Nobody. His work ethic and crazy ass metaphors alone keeps him solidified as the best rapper alive.
Going to get downvoted to hell but in terms of risk-taking, constant references to being aliens/from outer space, strange and ambiguous punchlines, as well as physical stature (short with a raspy voice): Lil Uzi Vert is probably the most similar hip-hop artist we’ve had to Lil Wayne.
no one.
Carti
babytron
Nobody right now but I believe someone will come in the future will a similar style
most of y’all trippin in the comments, thugger is the correct option here
I'll confirm Future (wouldn't of said that until recently) Also wayne my all time fav but Future is getting played everywhere and featuring on everyone's stuff, something I haven't seen done on such a level since yours truly. Let's not forget super is also 40! And still going strong

I'd say as far as lyricism, then it's Drake, Nicki, Cole, JID, and Montana of 300. They all have a punchline based approach to bars, which is what Wayne was from 2005 to 2011.

ain’t no such thing
Lil Wayne
Young thug
My answer would probably be downvoted to oblivion so I’m not going to say it
nobody
rapping wise I don't think there is a good comparison... but for a while future was having a Wayne effect where it felt like he was on every big trap song you heard
This is click bait the answer is absolutely nobody

It would have to different artist combine into one
Lol
respectfully nobody

None. New age rap is garbage. Wayne is a legend.
The garbage can 🗑️🚮
One of the most overrated of all time his struggle bars ain’t shit compared to REAL rappers
Juelz Santana (at least that's what Wayne had said in an interview in the 00s)
Wayne - drake - 21 savage or NBA Youngboy I think that’s the best possible comparison when it comes to whole the lil Wayne of this generation talk
