Up front: yes.

Lil Wayne brings something that no other rapper alive can match up to. His lyrics keep him at the top, as ridiculous as they are, they are well thought out and the insanity is half his crown. He has great wingmen (pun birdman), he already has a great track record, and he is coming out with new tracks (remixes/collaborations) on what seems to be a daily basis.

Wayne was bred in the rap game, under rap moguls.

He just has so much damn work.
