MTV just released their list
for the Hottest MCs in the game and when asked who he felt was the best rapper
alive, Kanye, who was placed at No. 7 in the list, picked Lil Wayne.
In an interview after the
MTV list came out Kanye explains,
“Yeah, #7 bothers me. I think that Wayne is
the number one rapper in the world.”
“I just think he’s like, you know, him
and Jay and Em (Eminem) and certain people are just the greatest rappers of all
time. For me I feel that in order for them to put me as #7, they had to bring
up things that they didn’t like [about me].”
“[Like] They didn’t like the Cruel
Summer album. And I’m like, “That’s a compilation. It ain’t all rappers on
G.O.O.D. Music.”
“Cruel Summer got “Don’t Like (Remix),”
“Mercy,” “Cold,” “New God Flow” all on one joint, you know. And “Clique,” and
“Clique!” You can’t name five records like that on no album. But they wanna
diss me and be like, “He did Cruel Summer and he can’t say he ain’t part of it
’cause he’s on eight records…” Like they wanna try to—ain’t nobody bringin’ up
that “Diamonds” remix verse. There wasn’t no verse in a year that’s fuckin’
with that verse.”
“It’s definitely not based on a body of
work, but possibly could just be overall rap, MC swag. Sean is a great rapper,
period. It checks all the boxes. What happens is with them, with these types of
judges and people who review it, when you come in, I had like the pink polo and
the backpack and I’m checkin’ all the boxes of that Tribe Called Quest era and
J. Dilla and all that, so they wanna champion it. They don’t like Givenchy
Kanye. They don’t like Kanye in a kilt. They don’t like Kanye in a
relationship.”
