Weezy’s Influences
Posted by Bossip Staff
Lil Wayne is influenced by musicians other than his daddy The Birdman:
“I am music. That’s me, Jack. I found a new love for music, and I got to owe it to a lot of people in the game. They don’t even know. I got to owe a lot to T-Pain. He made me really look at myself. I always look at somebody like, ‘I can’t do what you do, but man, I damn sure wish I could.’ So when I figure out what I could do about that, I go and do it. So every time I get a chance to say it, T-Pain, Prince, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz — all these are people I looked at the past two years. I viewed them seriously and was like, ‘Wow, I could do that without being totally them.’ I can present it as Lil Wayne.”
Wow, he put T-Pain in the same category as Prince, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, and Lenny Kravitz. That just goes to show you where the music game is headed.

Weezy…1???
That boy is gone!!! Poe W. F….
The second! Crazy emotion! But he has STD? I found a profile with his photo at http://www.STDromance.com
I agree T Pain?? But the dude is a fluke he use to ride Jiggas D.I. all day now he replaces him with T. Pain since Jigga was like Nukka PULEASE.
Dude go get some real lyrics. SMH
I guess that is why he has that bootleg T Pain sounding song out now.
Dude be yourself.
LIL WEEZY NEEDS TO LAYOFF THAT BULLSHIT PURPLE SHIT THESE YOUNG DUMB FOOLS ARE DRINKING.
That crack still in his head.

WOW!!!! WHATEVER!!
That is a hilarious pic. OMG!!
His real influences are that sizzurp and those pills.
WE KNOW THE TRUTH WEEZY!!
I really don’t understand why people give T-Pain a hard time. He is the Roger Trautman of his day and he is damn good at it. I don’t want everyone to start doing it (Snoop), but for him it works.
i agree

I think he was trying to say that these people are original, that’s what makes them special…however I don’t see where Lil Wayne is an original or that he changed the rap game so much that it left you with the same feelings as Prince or Erkyah….
Um, he can do what they can do? I don’t think so! He needs to put the syrup, weed, coke and whatever else he uses down and NEVER pick it up again! Little Ass Monkey!
@ Bird
So true
@ Anonymous3-the fire whatever
If Lil Wayne isn’t original what other rapper can you name with his style or flow that you know or knew of?
oooh my goodness, so disrespectful (in my coming to america accent)
and fyi..Lil wayne is original…and an educated rapper is a rariety…but that dont mean that nucca makes the most inteligent statements. anybody remember how he blew up in an interview about his addiction? he’s clever with his words…he says real silly shit over hot beats…but he is not nelson mandela. please climb out that nuccas ass.
All he did was say how T-pain helped him .. Not a big deal TP is doing his thang now ..
yeh he say crazy stuff and he gettin paid for it if yu can say silly stuff and get millions yu would too so whats the deal lik he said.. ” chicks climbin all ova det lil chair thang” as he stated yeh it may of sounded retarded but he got paid money for det .. i dont agree with the fact of him doin all the drugs and sirrup but other den det lil wayne sittin on money and known of us aint…
He’s another cat I be glad when his career is over cause dude is straight up wack. Not to mention his ass is a poser and gay!
Yall a trip any body who thinks Wayne is wack is probably from the east coast, a place where all u fuckers think your the best B-Ballers, Rappers, and Dressers, wherein Fact, the best Ballers are from Cali, Your clubs play South music, and the best dressers are from the North. So get off the hater train please you nigga’s running out of space on that bitch
Oh please for this man to think for a second that he is half as innovative as Prince, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, or Wyclef is simply a side effect of his much storied cocaine abused.
Last time I checked Lauryn Hill hasn’t had a hit song in about 10yrs so the fact a nigga even mentiond her name she should feel thankfull
Yes whats up with that. T.PAIN..lol Thats funny.. You must want him to star on your next album Wayne
Oh I would do Weezy in the parking lot for free. He’s so fine reminds me of ex.
@jusplay it…I’m from where he’s from and I think he’s just awful. Now, he makes some good songs, I won’t lie, but I don’t think there is anything great about him other than he knows how to lay down a good hook. I don’t know how anyone can say that he is an educated rapper. Everytime he opens his mouth to talk, I get embarrassed for him.
Homo thuggery at its worst - Weezy needs to sit down somewhere, preferably in rehab.
You faggots need to stop hating, T-Pain’s shit is hot right now.
MANN WAYNE FUKIN UP NOW LIKE DUDE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU YSLKING ABOUT HOW COULD YOU HAVE EVER PUT THAT FAGG ASS NIGGA T-PAIN IN THE SAME LIST WITH THE OTHER LEGENDS U NAMED. LIL WAYNE YOU KNOW YOU MY NIGGA BUT YOU STARTIN TO LOOSE ME BOO YOU STARTING TO LOOSE ME PLEASE LAY OFF THE NARCS PLEASE
@SOUTHERN BELLE

bossip yall dumb as f*ck. he was just saying that he likes t-pain’s music and so on. smh @ bossip for being dumb as f*ck and to be real who the f*ck gives a damn about prince? that female nigga hasn’t had a hit in how many years. ain’t nobody checking for this female brawd
Lil Wayne will be another Pimp C.
I hope not. But the road he is going down, is so not a good look.
Send that no rapping nigga to rehab as well…
I’m still tryna figure out why people are still calling this “Tree Monkey” the “Best Rapper”? Dude is a fucking joke. Well in the black community they praise this nothing as loser.
His appearance don’t even look up to part. He look dirty, and it look like he could stink. Not attractive at all….YUCK!
He is so cool,but when I saw his profile in millonaire dating site”WealthyLoving.com”. I would change my mind.Is he really has a baby with a lttle girl?
I’m from the old school so how in the hell is T-Pain anywhere near Roger. Roger has classics, his songs can get played today and people will still go crazy. Ever lasting music T-Pain music is cool today but will it be remembered tomorrow or in the future.
Weezy does have that fire and I always liked his music he can show Juvie where to get some of them fronts from
T-Pain has no talent. He’s the Flava Flav of R&B.
