Lil Wayne thinks he should have been named as the greatest rapper of all time

The rapper was rated as the seventh best ever, which is pretty damn good going.

However, Wayne – real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. – thinks he should have been top of the pile.

The 40-year-old discussed the list in an interview on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music radio show.

“Man, who the hell is before me? Was the list including all hip-hop, like before and after as well?” Wayne asked.

Jay-Z was named as number one, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Nas, 2Pac, Eminem, and The Notorious B.I.G.

“The last tour I got off was with Blink-182,” he added.

“At the end of the day, I find myself at the country music awards and doing tours with Blink-182. There’s not a lot of rappers in this position who can say they’ve done that. I stand alone on that mountain.”

Ice Cube – who was ranked 18th – also hit out at the list.

“It’s an irrelevant list. It’s like a**holes: everybody got one and they all stink.”

In his Apple Music interview, Wayne also explained how he keeps in shape, and for him, it’s all about diet.

“So, from the age of 19 to now, I’ve always had a personal chef. I don’t know what McDonald’s smell like. I haven’t eaten any fast food in forever.

“I can’t lift a weight, bro. I don’t do no workout or nothing like that.”

“People always say to me, ‘What’s your workout? What do you do when you get in the gym?’ I be like, ‘Only gyms I know is Jim Jones.’
