Juelz Santana Explains How Lil Wayne Became “The Best Rapper In The World”

Juelz Santana Explains How Lil Wayne Became The Best Rapper In The World

In a recent Twitter Spaces conversation, Juelz Santana gave Lil Wayne his flowers, and put a stop to anyone who believes Wayne copied his and Dipset‘s style.

From personally seeing comments on social media that said Tunechi had bit The Diplomats‘ style, Juelz shut down these claims by saying Tune did what he had to do to become “the best rapper in the world”, which is by studying the game.

“You know, especially these blogs and sh*t, they try to separate or try to throw salt in the game. They love to hit me with the ‘Oh, Wayne took all this from you.’ I be like, man, Wayne is a student of the game just like we’ve all been students of the game. So Wayne did exactly what he was supposed to do. Wayne studied every artist… and he took what he needed to take, and he incorporated it into his style and what he needed to do, and became the best artist that he needed to be for his self.”

The Harlem rapper also added that they “all took sh*t from each other”, as well as called Weezy his “brother”. You can listen to Santana make these comments after the jump below! Do you agree with what was said?

Scans Of Lil Wayne Cover Story For Ozone Magazine February 2006 Issue

For #ThrowbackThursday today, I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the February 2006 issue of Ozone magazine, which took place a few months after his Tha Carter II album had been released in stores.

In an interview with Julia Beverly for the mag, Weezy discussed everything from Hurricane Katrina (even though he was tired of talking about it), why he was not trying to be Jay-Z on his C2 album cover, wanting everyone to stop categorizing him, going to the University of Houston for Psychology classes, and deciding it was time to be a CEO.

What’s going on between you and B.G.? He put out a song dissing you, and I heard you were shouting “Fuck B.G.” at a recent show.
My album is in stores now, Tha Carter II, It’s my fifth solo album. It’s number two on the charts.

I’m sure everyone’s been asking you about your relationship with Trina. Are you open to talking about that?
No.

You’re trying to keep your relationship away from the public eye?
I ain’t tryin’. I am.

You can check out scans from Tunechi‘s cover story below that also includes him talking about touring with Jeezy and T.I., creating songs for different cities and sending them to DJs, his daughter Reginae Carter and why he would not let her be a rapper because he doesn’t think it is a good game for females, and much more!
