    crazy how today's best rappers styles closely conformed to wayne in their early days

    wayne is probably more influential than tupac as far as music itself goes.

    I've listened to them, and as you say, listening to his progression is interesting, but I really can't stand his voice from then. I f--- with his self titled EP and everything after though.

    Look at how many rappers quote Pac as an influence and the goat (I dont think he is personally.) I just hear many more rappers name pac than Wayne, although I do hear more wayne than pac in styles nowadays
