Last month, Lopez named Wayne as the current greatest rapper.

He really says some sh*t,” Lopez explained. “But I was just listening to what he was saying and I really enjoyed it. He might be one of the best out there right now. He might be the best. He’s really good…I love [Nicki Minaj]. I haven’t heard the whole [Pink Friday] album, but I’ve heard her stuff that’s been on the radio and stuff like that. I really enjoy it.” (Hot 97)
Last summer, rap veteran Fat Joe named Lil Wayne in his Top 5 Greatest Rappers of All Time list.
“That’s a hard question to answer,” Joe told DJ Vlad when asked who his top five favorite artists were. “I would say Big Pun, I would say KRS-One, umm, I would say Kanye West. Yeah, I would say Kanye West, umm, it changes every day. I can’t really answer that question you told me. I would go with Lil Wayne. That’s four. Then I like this combination, Dr. Dre and Snoop [Dogg] combination. If I could put them as one, that would be like, my top five and half.” (Vlad TV)
