He continued by comparing JAY-talents Z’s to those of great athletes. He possesses “that thing in rap, that one thing that only we know in rap.” Wayne added, “He’s the Tom Brady of that. Wayne just bestowed Missy Elliott with the GOAT designation. When asked to identify his top 5 rappers back in May, Tunechi put the “Get Ur Freak On” legend at the top of the list.
For him, Missy Elliott will always come first, he said on the “What’s Wright” podcast from FOX Sports. She has had a significant impact on anything I have ever done. Wayne also listed the remaining members of his top five at the time, including JAY-Z (“The finest to ever even speak”), Biggie, Goodie Mob, and UGK.
Weezy will hold his rescheduled Lil Weezyana Fest in his hometown of New Orleans this weekend. The festival, which was postponed from August due to “unforeseen circumstances,” will now take place in September and will include an all-star lineup, including Weezy himself, Rick Ross, Cam’ron, Quavo, and Takeoff.
