Lil Wayne Apologizes to Jay-Z
Weezy is in on the cover of this month’s XXL. In the interview you get the usual brass balls talk that Lil Wayne has become famous for: you know, greatest rapper alive, think what you want, I’m rich. During one of his recent puff sessions he was quoted in Complex magazine saying that he was better than Jay-Z.
Sort of blasphemous in that before his sudden lyrical ascension, a few years ago he talked endlessly about studying Jay’s albums, spoke on the intricate nature of his lyrics and how his albums were the only thing he listened to. There are quotes somewhere, but I can’t be bothered to find them..
XXL asked him..
How’d You go from “best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired” to better than him?
I’m glad you brought that up, ‘cause I just want to apologize to Jay and his family and friends, because I was asked that question and they put it in there like I was just feeling like, ‘Oh, you know what, nigga? I’m better than Jay!’ They came at me like, ‘So you say you’re the best. Can you say that you’re better than everybody? Would you say you’re better than Jay” I was like, ‘ Yeah, nigga, I’m better than everybody!’
But I’d like to throw that apology out there ‘cause of whatever trouble it caused, I ain’t want that to happen.”
Hmm.. They also asked him about the Jay-Z influence.. why not someone from the South?
I’d say because then he’d be doing snap music and a new dance but he had a different answer.
‘Cause he don’t care what nobody like. he cares about what he cares about, and he puts it out that way. There’s a lot of artists that entertain and just do what people will like, but there’s others who do it creatively and it comes from them and make y’all love it.
“.. it ain’t too bad trying to be him. That wasn’t no bad person for me to try to be. And you don’t ever worry about what nobody say. You gotta care about what you do. That’s always been important to me.”
I’m sure if Jay was ever sweatin’ he’ll be happy to hear all that, just so long as the face to face apology doesn’t involve a kiss on the lips. 
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
well, i commend weezy for coming correct with an apology and setting the record straight - providing he doesn’t contradict himself in the next magazine. it’s time for more emcees to stop “entertaining” ignorance/ignorant people and talk like they have some damn sense.
Weezy had to apologize for his comments about Jay. he cannot be possibly be better than a guy he strives to be like. so yeah Jay-Z best RAPPER D.O.A! its the ROC!!
Listen, I think Weezy IS better than Lay Z. Lay Z has been terrible his last couple times out!!! Long live Weezy Fuckin Baby
jay is the best, hands down. very few rappers can come close to Jay. Weezy was right to apologize, as much as i like Wayne, he cant touch Jay-Z.
G Biz, you must be out ya friggin’ mind. Weezy better than Jay? Ain’t happenin’. Man, hip hop is on cardiac arrest and niggas just don’t know what to do with themselves. I’ll put it to you like this homie, comparing Weezy to Hov is like comparing bologna to filet mignon. There’s no comparison. And that’s real.
OMG Iz U serious? Weezy Will Crush Jay-z… JAy Aint On Weezy Level And They Swear Jay The Best Rapper But Weezy Definitely The Best Rapper Alive And dats Real Talk….
thick and g biz…tis tis. yall are friggin rediculous. lol. 1st of all, u cant be better than the guy u studied ur whole career. duh. dont get me wrong, dwayne is hott but he’s no shawn. just cuz they got they same last name dont mean u can compare them….i cant believe u said he’ll crush Jay. lol. all i can do is laugh @ that one. and that my son, is why hip hop is DEAD…
WEEZY BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND THATS REAL…JAY-Z WAS, LET ME SAY IT AGAIN WAS IIGHT..BUT HES DAMN WACK…WEEZZYYY FOEVA….
Everyone that thinks Wayne is anyway near Jay is Sick Deranged and Crazy. He is not even in the top ten there are too many greats he has to go through. Thats like a rookie saying he is better than jordan. Its not Possible. Wayne is hot right now thats what it is and every rapper gets his hot period but Jay is on a whole notha level. If you think Wayne is better you have not been listening to music to long. Do your research and listen to the bars and not tha punch line damn dummies.
Man Lil Wayne is Better than Jay-Z dont care what Wayne say or nobody else i love lil Wayne and yall dont get it twisted one time that lil Wayne is Not about his Business or try to think he soft cause he will show yall better than he can tell yall.
Look, People who think, weezy is better than….
JAY-Z, should stay in school, lol u can even mention him in the same breath as Jay, lol, callin lil wayne. better than….................. Jay-z should be an unforgivable SIN!!!!!!!
JAY-Z is THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!
wat it do Weezy baby, wat u did was right but in my world u are DA BEST RAPPER ALIVE no matter wat no body say! O yeah one day I will meet u 😊
hip hop dead? thts cuz weezy killin these niggas..he better than jay..how can u be better than some one you studied easy by studying..ne ways i like jay and wayne ..but wayne fresher cuz!
are ya`ll 4 real???? wayne better than Jay z???? I mean, I know Wayne is the hottest rapper roght now… but he?s not in HOVA level, I mean is JAY Z, j hova`s DNA is on lil wayne music!!!
MY DNA IS IN YOUR MUSIC Motherf****r ARE YOU STUPID????
well i believe my baby did the right thing about apologizing to jay-z even though i don’t like jay-z like that but its all good boo.
The south (excluding TI) is a fad when it comes to hip hop…it’s like… Mix A Lot and “Baby Got Back”.... most of the music from the south fits with the generation…but, classics on replay? No…sorry…I love Lil Jon and all that… but will I be listening to him when I’m old enough to say “F**K the club” ?? No… When you grow up, you lose the crunk…you don’t lose hip hop. All who don’t agree…are probably 20 to 28 years old….80% chance of female ....and like Weezy’s bling…verses his classic lyrics. ONE.
Wayne is hot…those who say he’s not, or he’s just a fad, simply havn’t really listend to his lyrics or music for that matter. The material he’s done over the past 5 years is incredible, and it can compare with Jay, undoubtedly. But what makes Jay better is the fact that he has been in it much longer than wayne, and wayne hasn’t earned all his stripes yet. The one thing wayne has yet to accomplish, is to make a classic album that nobody can denounce as a classic. Then wayne will take the crown and no one can deny.
ive noticed that every single person on here that is for wayne, needs grammar lessons. youre uneducated and ignorant to think lil wayne is better than jay z. all lil wayne raps about is himself- its the same thing every song, different words. you dummies must be gay to like to hear another man talk about how hot he is all the time.
im back because…niggas constantly hate…“the south is a fad”..get the f**k out of here nigga we ,ake diffrent shit…some of them east coast niggas been sounding the same for a long time….south been bringing more money than any coast put together..“FACTUAL ACTUAL NIGGA”...i aint hating on east or west but nigga stop hating on the south..weezy is the man so is jay ..but jay days are over so accept it nigga…
man you East coast niggas gone get enough of disrespecting the south…the south put up more numbers than east and west put together..i like east and west but i tired of this shit…niggas just listen to what you like..“Y EVERY BODY MAD AT THE SOUTH FOR SWITCH YA GAME UP SWITCH TO SOUTH PAW NIGGA!
weezy f baby..SOUTH SIDE UP NIGGA!!
yo both weezy and jay are great ...even tho i like weezy better than jay, i still think he cant touch jay z YET.. but someday…......
i thank dat dey both great rappers and weezy got day shyt now wit his freestyle mixtapes but J got it to. dey on two completely diff levels so i dont thank dey shud be any nigga sayn one betta den da otha when dey both do dey thang. i give ma props ta both. weezy fukin baby rap spit sum hard azz shyt, and J sound da same in bout all his singles. Weezy got mo flava, but J on dat real.
south making more money than east???...JAJAJAJAJAJAJA come on josh, in the east we have JAY Z (34 MILLIONS in 2006), 50 Cent (32 MILLIONS in 2006), DIDDY (28 MILLIONS 2006), WHATTT???? what money are you talkin about??, weezy didnt even appear in the Forbes list… What do you mean by MONEY!?? JAY Z is running this rap shit… and remember south`s rappers learned fron east and west rappers, they started rapping in late`s 1990… come on man!! F*CK WEEZY!!
What Wayne has done that is so significant? No Wayne can never answer that question. Why is he the best rapper alive? They draw a blank . . . then say got a lot of freestyle mixtapes. Is it relevant to hip-hop? Not really. Any classic albums? The Carter. Negro please if thats best we got out wayne no where near Jay. Any die hard quotables you can live? Hell no! I’m a fan of his Lights Out when B.G. was penning his ish. You all are stupid people. Lone reason right here NO ONE EVER, EVEREVEREVER mentioned he was the BEST until he said it himself. Then here you bloggers he is the best. But answer why? cause he is on everyone song? Thats called being HOT IDIOTS!!! Am I hating or being logical? step up and state why he is the best.

plus jay z is a fake nigga
Lil wayne baby u dont have to apoligize u r the best rapper alive sweetie

“i am so hot i freeze”
“i am something like a safe there is no combination”
“i love my dad”
weezy is the best rapper alive f**k jay z

This is wuts up. Wayne is the hottest thing out right now. I mean come on hes on everything. U wouldn’t be on everything if you didnt have any talent. And yall talk about him claiming to be the best rapper alive but if you actually read his interviews he doesnt even feel hes the best yet until its a unanimous decision. And even if you dont feel hes da best you gotta respect him because nobody else working harder than he is for the crown. If wayne aint yo favrite rapper think about the guy that is and tell me how often you heard them between albums. And the people dat do grind like he do are still underground. But its like once people make it big they lose dat ambition they had when they was broke and hungry. Its sad but most people are jus in da game to get they money.
Waynehead you are a dopehead. You are the epitome of my last message. People he’s on everything, thats being hot and listening-worthy not the best. I guess in near future T-Pain gon be better than Kells and Usher cause he’s on everything f out of here. Nobody is stating a real claim on why Wayne is the best. I’m waiting on it. tsk . . . tsk . . .
“You talking to the author, the architect of The Blueprint, my DNA in your music, muthaf’r you stupid” - Jay-Z
And Wayne’s favorite is 50 Cent listen to cute crap he be say on people record
(P.I.M.P.) If you listen more faster I wouldn’t have to slow down for you to catch up, B***h. - 50
(Lloyd’s song) You say I’m talking, you just listening slow - Wayne (originality is what you call, huh?)
(Ryder’s Music)In the race for the cheese I run laps around ni**az - 50
(You Ain’t Know)For the paper chase I’m out running sprinters - Wayne
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
weezy is not tha bestt!!! he is a joke!!, he doesnt have good lyrics, its just HOT RAP! what the people like, not cuz of that you are the best, you are just hot. I mean, just tell me 3 classics songs he has made, i mean that in 10 or 11 years you will listen to… he hasnt made any good song!! I can tell you that i listen to dead presidents 1 and 2 and i still like it, are you feelin me?, HE CANT BE THE BEST!!! and his flow is WACK!!
and HE KISSED A MAN!!! how can a GAY be the best rapper???
I used to be Jay-z fan , but whne i started to listen to his lyrics they don’t make no point . All Jay-z ever does it’s steallin other people lyrics .
If lil wayne is Gay , well i could say Jay-z is a pussy ass nigga and retarded . I thaught that bitch was suppose to retired , what happen? Jay-z came back with his wack ass kingdom come . You ain’t the best rapper until you got ur own unique style and not steallin other lyrics .
Lil wayne is the best rapper alive , oh please just cause he kiss a man so what . If i was him i wouldnt apologize to this retarded rapper so called (Jay-Z).

[Verse 1:]
Got the h** goin’ till 6
Press a button, watch the m*****f***er do tricks
I don’t know what you are on, but I’m on some new s****
While you’re b**** is on my d***, like a glue stick
I got a grill, I don’t have to get my tooth fixed
The tooth fairy would retire if I loose it
Straight out the clip, that’s how I spit like an oozey
You can’t find me ‘cause I’m lost in the music
I’m runnin’ this and I can jump the hurdles
I feelin’ like I’m racing a bunch of little turtles
Keep a bandana like the Ninja Turtles
I’m like a turtle, when I sip the purple
[Chorus:]
And I smoke that kush

Hollygrove 17, I’m from the zoo crew
You would think every animal in the zoo loose

Buck forty on a ring that I don’t really wear
But I bet it light up the night like the city fair
This s*** ain’t fair, I didn’t have to go there
But all this ice got me feelin’ like a polar bear
I’m so aware, I’m so prepared, I’m so fly I will take off into the open air
Lift off, Cristal, please, crackers with cheese
N***a please, we on J-E-Ts like Curtis Martin and whitley green
I’m… lightin’, lightin’, light the thing, light the thing, no Reggie man
[Chorus:]
You know I smoke that kush…
And I ball like swoosh [x2]

Lil Wayne sucks. I really don’t see what all the hype is
yo yo yo Lil wayne mah nigga foreal
yo f**k all u lil wayne hating ass mother f**kers, Jay z aint got shit on mah boy ya dig
yeah dis yo gurl tellin all them haters dat dont like WEEZY got suck something and take Jay-Z wit u cause me and WEEZY is together and goin 2 stay together 4 ever no changin.
Me and WEEZY is comin out wit a CD so go get an listen to it.
Wayne is the best hands down f**k J he doesnt have shit on wayne you people need to listen to what hes sayin. ...And..I’m not lyin to you….haha…
I tried to listen to him but I can’t understand a damn word that he is saying. Rap music has gone to the toilet if we are going to say that Lil’ Wayne is one of the best.
Im not gonna add to the argument over who is better, because frankly, its opinion, my personal opinion being that i prefer weezy.
I will say though, that anyone who says you cant be better than someone you studied is plain wrong, why do u think people teach?
Also, anyone who says either of them CANT rap, is a f***in moron, they both have an awesome flow.
Finally, if u say u cant tell what weezy says, how are you judging him, to say you cant listen is just lazy.
Lil Wayne sounds like a f**kin moron and you can’t tell what the f**k his ignorant ass is saying. But in these days of rap I guess sounding like a damn fool is cool. How rap has gone downward is not even funny. Now we have this millionare (rapper) that can’t even speak an ounce of english. Now that he has the money I wish he would go get some english lessons. It is painfully sad where rap and rap fans have gone.
Somebody tell me that Lil’ Wayne doesn’t sound just like Buckwheat from the little rascls. I agree Educated Rapper, rap has made some ignorant ass millionares.
Hi Derrick, Been lookin for you for a bit. Hope all is good with ya, Anita
f**k anyone of yall that said anything bad about him he still the best rapper alive
So what he can rap I’ll bet his ignorant ass can’t even count to 10. Find another idol you idiot!!
F*CK ANYBODY WHU IS TALKIN SHYT BOUT MA BABY WAYNE….all ya juss hatas….ya need 2 get a life…...lil wayne is sexy as hell(he is the best rapper)nd ma hubby(NOE DAT) luv me some lil wayne ^_^(if u ever wanna talk aim me)mizz cynthia23(if u dont hav an aim u should get 1..lol)
Fuck the school your stupid ass went too. I see why you like him so much you are just as stupid as he is. Lil’ Wayne is an ignorant bastard and so are most of the people that post on this board that defend him.
yo real talk… if said i was the greatest would it matter..? Not really you gotta let the music speak for itself! Matta fact just like with boxing if someone wants to take your title then they challenge you. So until I see a challenge thrown somewhere then Lil Wayne’s appology simply states that he knows Jayz is the greatest. There are so many unfound artist out there still waiting to shine. No matter how good you are there someone tryin to out do you… Real talk type JusNod in ya google browser and you’ll see some underground music on the myspace. I know I should be signed but I just havent been spottded yet.
hey dude sup man you rock and get a life duded hehe some guys say you ccant rap
i would say something else but im at school
z’allll bouuuut lil wayne fxckkkka’s!
