Lil Baby Sparks Debate After Declaring Himself The Lil Wayne Of This Generation

Lil Baby Says He’s The Lil Wayne Of This Generation On EST Gee’s song “5500 Degrees”

Lil Baby is arguably the most sought after new school rapper at the moment. Few years in the game and he’s already solidified his spot in the rap game and continues to excel in the music industry at large.

Earlier this year, old heads like Charlamagne Tha God and Wayno claim we moved past Drake’s era and that we are now in Lil Baby’s own.

But it appears Baby is trying to fit into a bigger shoe by comparing himself to Lil Wayne in his prime. According to the ‘My Turn’ rapper, he’s the Wayne of this generation. His claim has since sparked debate among Hip Hop fans.

Lil Wayne is a legend in Hip Hop and has a great influence in today’s rap game with many rappers adopting not just the ‘Lil’ prefix but also his style.

Baby made the declaration during a recent appearance on EST Gee’s new song “5500 Degrees,” which flips a Cash Money classic in Juvenile’s “400 Degreez.”

On the track, Lil Baby dubs himself the Lil Wayne of his current generation. “I’m going too crazy, I’m the Wayne of this new generation,” he spits. “N***as fugazi, they can’t fuck with us no types of ways/ these n***as too lazy / I’m cut from a different cloth, I don’t know who raised em’.”

Although he’s not trying to compete with Lil Wayne, the Atlanta rapper’s lyrical prowess cannot be undermined. Listen to the song below:
