Lil Wayne has given considerable thought to the rappers he believes to be the greatest five of all time over the course of the last few years. Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Noreaga, Cam’ron, and Missy Elliott were among the names on the 2020 list. His list was updated in January 2023 to include UGK, Jay-Z, Biggie, Missy, and Goodie Mob. When he revisited the subject in August of that year, his top five stayed the same.

Recently, though, he again spouted off a top-5 list, and there were some changes. Jay, Missy, and Biggie all remained, but two different acts made the list this time. Wayne said, “My top 5 rappers of all time are Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem, um… The Notorious B.I.G. — oh, and this is no specific order right here — and Drizzy.”

Notably, the updated list includes Drake, but not Kendrick Lamar, despite many people believing that Lamar came out on top of his recent feud with Drake. Given how flexible Wayne seems to be with his top 5, though, Kendrick could end up making the cut if you ask Wayne again in a few months.

Meanwhile, Drake and Kendrick are both keeping busy: Drake just dropped a couple new songs with Camila Cabello and Lamar is working on a “Not Like Us” video.
