The Louisiana rapper is confident that he is the best rapper in the world. He was even named the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) by his fans. He recently proofed his status as a GOAT by getting himself a unique pair of shoes with a goats’ foot print on the front.
He is also a great influence on the next generation of rappers, such as Chance The Rapper and Kendrick Lamar. In fact, he helped them grow into the superstars they are today.

His unwavering commitment to his craft has spawned an entire generation of young artists, including Nicki Minaj and Drake, whom Wayne helped develop into global icons thanks to his Young Money/Cash Money record label.
In a 2006 interview with Complex’s Toshitaka Kondo, Wayne said he was the “best rapper alive,” a claim that was unchallenged at the time. He backed up his assertion with a first-week million-seller and two Billboard-topping hits: Tha Carter III in 2008, followed by 2015’s jazz-influenced To Pimp a Butterfly.
As Weezy’s lyrical mastery and the success of his label continue to stand out in the industry, it’s no surprise that he has earned the title of G.O.A.T.
