To all of you who think Lil Wayne is a rapper who needs to be worshiped, stop it already! When this guy raps, it sounds like he has a cold and the songs aren't even written by him. Plus, his music is nothing groundbreaking or new, it's all about how cool he thinks he is or how meny cars he owns.

Rappers like Biggie Smalls and 2Pac are way better.

So quit thinking that Lil Wayne is an influenal rapper or that he'll get in to the Hall.

Sorry to upset your throughts, Evangelist, but rap will never be exterminated, it will always be there along with the culture.

While I do agree with you on how today's rap is more about sex and partying, I reconmmend that you take a listen to "Changes" by 2Pac or "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five in order to understand that rap isn't all about boasting or sex.

Hell no... Dude is one of the lamest MC's ever to last more than 10 years... All his music sounds the same... Listen to Alternative or Political Hip-Hop instead of this trash.

Tha Carter III. That proves Lil Wayne's talent. I think he will get into the hall, probably not immediately when he is eligible but eventually.

I am a lil Wayne fan but if he is able to be in the hall of fame for rock I should be able to as well because I have only seen him play guitar once I a music video and I could do what he did on my first day of learning guitar 😂

Lil Wayne has about as much business in the RnR HOF as Bill O'Reilly's ball sack

I'd love to see lil Wayne cover "Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool but he can't because he drinks way too much codeine cough syrup... his throat is too clear- Ryan Long

So evangelist is also a white supremacist. Good to know.

Has released anywhere form 3 to 4 of the greatest genres hip-hop will ever see.

Inspired a damn near countless number of rappers in the aftermath of his peak.

He is an excellent lyricist as well; is capable of being quite profound.

I say yes, emphatically.

He's definitely a Hall of famer. Look at the influence he's had on today's rappers. Alot of them have face tattoos, dread locks and the name lil because of him

Lil Wayne is a visionary he has influenced thousands of artists. He has always been true to himself. He's written and released more songs than any other rapper. He's changed lives. If you think he doesn't talk about real issues in his music then you are only listening to the mainstream songs. Lil wayne has been named the greatest rapper alive by lots of very successful rappers and artists. He is often referred to as the GOAT - Greatest of all time. His career started over 2 decades ago and he is as popular as ever.

He may be inducted in the future but he will not be FYE
