With Nick Wright podcast on Thursday (May 5), where Weezy was asked to name his Top 5 rappers of all-time among numerous other topics inside music and sports.
If there’s one thing Wayne is going to do, it’s show love to Missy Elliott, whom he gave his top slot to.

#LILWAYNE #MISSYELLIOTT
Makes total sense. Missy was an original, and trendsetter.
Missy is original! Not AN original! Missy came out in the 90s many MCs and female MCs came before her.
Super unappreciated rapper. She was original and had bars. Best videos. Doesn’t get a lot of recognition.
@@JugOnBlast im pretty sure that’s what he meant lol
@@4DaFam Could be. I hope so. Lol
@@JugOnBlast a
No amount of praise is enough for Missy Elliott. So many people don’t realise, when she came out, how futuristic and different it was. She created her own lane like MJ did. She’s one of the greatest artists of all time any genre or time period
I agree you just named the two people who’s music videos I used to dance to growing up in the 90’s Mike and Missy if anything since them the art of the music video has been elevated but still hasn’t topped them
I totally agree! It’s refreshing to see Wayne as a man not caught up on that “she’s a woman so I would look weak to acknowledge her or her influence/inspiration on me” whether conscious of subconscious because of society or his peers. It doesn’t matter the gender if she’s dope asf and influenced him than say that and it definitely doesn’t take away from him being a legend himself! People do be forgetting about Missy and how different she is wayyy ahead of her time especially with her video visuals also! Glad to see somebody givin her her props and I respect Wayne even more for this 💪🏽🐐🐐👑👑💯🥰
Yup shes very different a true hiphop icon
Facts, still can't stand the rain ..... Gainst my window
get off that 🪨
A legend calling another legend his Top 5 is showing true love and mad respect
I’ll admit, sometimes I forget about Missy Elliot, but I’d have to agree she’s nothing but a beast and a legend.
Missy is in my top five ever since I was a kid. She’s definitely had a hand print in hip hop
Missy is a living legend. 1 of 1 . There could never be no other .
Y'all would've never said that sht if he didn't say it. People don't think of her when they say top 5. Ahhahh y'all funny. She's extremely DOPE. But stop it. Or push to prove your point cause you're wrong.....
Stop lying no she wasn't lol
I’ve never heard anyone ever say missy is their number one. But I respect it
it's crazy because I commented she was the best female mc earlier on dx video and that was my first time saying it
Pusha T just said it on drink champs
She’s easily the best female rapper of all time but and an artist. Her range in writing is RIDICULOUSLY amazing!
Biggie smalls did
Me either. But she can write and rap with the best of them. And top 5s are always an opinion. So I see nothing wrong with if Missy Elliott is someone’s number one MC.
1:11 Fact. When I was a high schooler, he would insert Missy’s name when discussing his top influences. I am now 41.
People underestimate the impact of Missy Elliot and Timbaland on music. They changed everything.
devante swing
Wayne’s list is admirable. This is a man who to his core is an MC
Makes sense, he’s always sung high praises of her since the early phase of his career (1999, to be precise) and 23 years later he still adores her.
Missy and Busta rhymes owned the clubs back then. There wasn't a party that you went to where you didnt hear at least 2 of their songs. And she wrote for damn near everyone who had a singing voice. She deserves to be mentioned in a few of the top 5 lists.
Missy, Aaliyah, Timbaland, Magoo and Ginuwine were like gods from the Matrix in the music scene for me back then. They were so refreshing to hear. Love Missy.
I remember Missy speaking well of Lil Wayne when he was still a kid. It's nice to hear him give her her proper respect after all these years.
Any links to a video?
I'm a Lil' Wayne critic and I can't be mad at Wayne for putting Missy in his Top 5.
Missy Eillott is the Busy Bee or Coolio of the 2000s. She's not rapping to deliver masterful verses, she's rapping to rock the party.
But hear verses Are name female rapper got more talent she rap sing promote run a label direct and has 20 some year career in da game plus birth da real rnb queen Aaliyah
I think goes WAY harder than Coolio fam
@@mrchaos83 Aaliyah was in the game before Missy via R. Kelly. Missy did write a lot of her hits though.
@@melvinhhcp3615 she was just getting fuc ked on til Missy made her Great thought plus look who her family married to
Calling missy Coolio is fucking madddd disrespectful
makes you realize that every "who's YOUR top 5" is, in fact, a personal top 5. personal influence is much more meaningful and tells a better story than some kind of "objective" tier list.
Best comment so far.
Missy was never on my top 10 but her and Lauryn Hill the only females who I can listen to when I'm alone and actually vibe with
hop on the Rapsody bandwagon bro
Really no pac? Ok weezy
Cant believe wayne been rapping since the 90's and todays top rapper still get great feature from him. Longevity.
The time has come for goodie mobb to be recognized in the history of hip hop. Southside changed the whole game and left everybody watching. And missy and dont forget timberland was the perfect team to take hip hop to a new level.
big respect to Goodie Mob they are fire
Lil' Wayne just catapulted Missy Elliot to many people's top10. We all love her, we just never even considered that it was cool enough to have her on our top10 because she did everything. Most people's top10s are made up of either pure rappers or MCs. Missy is more like a jack of all trades (MC, Singer, Producer, Composer, and Dancer).
I definitely respect it. Missy was poppin & doing her thing while I was growing up & getting into Hip-Hop back in the day. That Lose Control video with Ciara back in the day was what made me respect her & her flow. Everything else I heard (both older & newer) had me bumping her later in middle school. So salute to Missy 🫡
Wayne has mentioned in 2 other interviews missy because he says he likes how she just openly always raps bout how dope she is
Missy is a fvcken living legend. Respect to Wayne for saying it
He's never taken Missy out of his top 5 I respect him for that because we all now how often rappers change they top 5 😆 🤣
Missy or Wayne aren't in my personal Top 5, but I respect the shit out of both of them and the impact they have put on the game. I'm a fan of both, and can see why some would put them in their Top. Both great Artist, and Missy probably one of the best Hip Hop Live Performers up there with Busta, Outkast, KRS One and LL. Can't hate on what people are great at, give them their flowers while you can!
No one cares about your top 5
You're the only comment I found that is honest of her not being top 5. Lol thank you. She's outstanding and an equally great artist. But all comments are saying she's top 5 , she's not. But she is now cause Wayne said it lol
@@j.a.r.family2576 Yeah, no disrespect to her or her fans but never heard anyone put Missy in their Top 5 until Wayne said something.. lol
Oh hell yeah, Missy Elliott is definitely one of my childhood faves! I remember picking up her debut album, Supa Dupa Fly at Walmart. The only thing though, the Walmart version cut Magoo's rap from Beep Me 911, pissed me off. 😠
She's our Portsmouthian QUEEN! 👑👑👑 " MISSY IS OUR ONLY MISDEMEANOR !!! " 💯💯💯💯 PORTSMOUTH, VA STAND UP!!!! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
2up2down! VABeachBurbs! Neptune neighborhoods!
She definitely is one of the greatest rappers to touch the mic and also write for other artist as well
Missy deserves to be in everyone's top ten. She changed the game by being herself in a male dominated time in hip hop and she didn't have to get naked. She is a pioneer.
Mia x
But what if my criteria doesn’t involve being yourself in a male dominated genre, and not getting naked?
Glad he gave Goodie Mob their flowers. Never knew he was a fan like that.
I feel they don't get enough recognition for their contributions.
Me too. Goodie Mob don't get enough
Without Goodie mob there won't be an OutKast as well.
@@ronaldjames7843 without Goodie Mob we wouldn’t have King Toxic right now aka Super Future
Goodie mob help put the south on the map during the time when everybody was dick riding the east coast/west coast trend. Now east coast west coast is garbage now the south has had a longer impact in hip hop as of now. I don't think we ever going back to the golden age of hip hop.
She’s a great singer songwriter and her flow and bars were always impressive! I can totally see anyone advocating for her to be top 5.
Not top 5 MC but top 5 influences for sure especially with females. New female artist should take note on how to make music and videos
Missy Elliot is the shit, and I love her to pieces. I love how theatical she is and the energy she brings to every song. Man she should get flowers, candy, a car and a trip to Paris. Love her!!!
Missy is definitely legendary and iconic. To me, she created her own lane.
Its always a tie between Missy and Lauryn
They're not queens, they're GODESSES of the rap game.
Untouchable.
You KNOW what's up!💥💥💥💥💥
No lie the praise of Lauryn to me is a little overdone, she dropped one album and has been a diva pulling up to concerts hours late and not given two fucks, sonically she made a masterpiece but her legacy to me is questionable
@@Saulgoodmane its about the music not the person. You like Micheal Jackson? Ight then the same could apply to him on a MUCH MUCH more severe level.
Wayne been saying this since he was a kid!
Missy Elliot is a true innovator and overall legend and yet somehow still massively underrated!
Now if yall been a fan of Wayne yall shoulda been known that. And MISSY bodies most mfrs who get they props. She is incredible!
Fr
Missy did put the fun in music videos for sure
Missy needs her flowers 💐
Jay Z is Not Better Than Eminem.
Not on No Level.
But,
I understand You Made Your Top Picks My what was in Your Heart, not Base On Facts & Stats. 👍
What makes eminem better than Jay z?
he is better in making enjoyable music th. eminem is technical a better rapper then almost everybody other then maybe black thought , pharaone monch etc but he didnt made outstanding music since 2004,
@@JP-bs8gl you have a very specific definition of “outstanding music”, then. Because if it means quality, songs like The Ringer, Bad Guy, Not Alike, Best Friend, Bang (leaked), Chlorasceptic Remix, Caterpillar, Rap God, Bad Guy, Darkness, and so many others are all there, and if it means bangers and rotation, his most radio popular hits like Not Afraid, Godzilla, ones with Rihanna (monster, love the way you lie), Forever, Drop the World, No Love, Space Bound are all after 2010. It seems just subjective
This nigga Wayne aging terribly, I hope he get healthy
A Wayne & Missy Collab album would be phenomenal.
Missy very underrated
Wayne looking like Whoopie Goldberg in the thumbnail.
Missy pen game is mean, she can Write songs and rap lyrics. Missy can Rap, sing and dance. Missy has word play, she can play with words, gracefully. Missy has style she’s one of a kind.
This actually dope asf. And THANK YOU WAYNE for doing what other rappers seem to have a fear to do, which is putting themselves in their own top 5 that might create backlash or a narrative of being cocky. Who gaf! Said it in song, say it in the interview that's CONFIDENCE and full belief of your own abilities.
Puff tried to sign Missy almost 30 years ago, right after he blew up BIG and Mack. Nobody knew her name yet.
True story! The videos and dance music overshadowed her emcee ability.
Misdemeanor is definitely in my top 5.
1) Missy Elliott
2)Queen Latifah
3)MC Lyte
4)Eve
5)Rhapsody
Women Emcees that rap with substance!
Thank you for not putting Lauryn Hill in there I need more effort to crown a Queen lol
Left Eye deserves a spot
@@HristinaNicole soulful, beautiful woman she was.
You're missing a huge one lol.
mc LYTE ONE OF MY FAVS ✨✨✨✨GEORGIE PORGIE & all that.... 🙏✨🎙️📻🎶
It makes sense he would bring up Missy. In one of his early mixtapes he remixed " Get Ur Freak On".
Honestly, it shocks me but if you listen to his music more, it actually makes sense. Missy has always been my all time favorite rapper too and ppl never get why. She’s def getting her flowers for the past few years but for a while, she was def a bigger impact than ppl gave her credit for. And before y’all start, I promise you, as a kid, I had AT LEAST 3 Missy Elliott CDs and would play them over and over. My mom loved her too so when we saw her CDs I remember trying to get her attention to buy it😂 Streaming days have gotten rid of nostalgic moments like that
The problem with Missy is 1)she was waaaaay ahead of her time and 2)if her name had been Mr. Elliott there would have been insanely more recognition in an insanely male dominated field. Missy is a genius. She even had Eminem coping her adlib style for a while. Everyone was biting off of her(and still do...they don't even realize it because what she did in the 90s has become such a "go to" that people don't even know the origins came from Missy). She will always be in my top four.
Missy has always been dope. Her fingerprints are on hip hop forever.
Not one person will argue her slot. She is one of the most creative, true artist and most certainly underrated.
So glad to hear Under Ground Kings made the list
give her flowers while she still here.. she always been fire!! Missy you a legend!
If you a 90’s baby but didn’t grow up dancing to Missy Elliot music videos or getting freaked out by something in the video I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but admitting this ain’t one let’s go 😂😂
For christ sakes ,Wayne knows she's not a top 5 rapper, he's just naming his favorites growing up
I always thought her music was kinda annoying.
Also she's gotta alota features that look like wayne and they're both certified tiny. Maybe they're related. That would make the only sense AZ to why he'd say this.
You good fam?
I didn’t think of her as a rapper when I was young but that’s not me trying to diminish her legacy & I think HIP HOP needs to acknowledge here coz she gets mine. Also some of the women ain’t got nothing on here period.
Not a huge Wayne fan but my respect jumped up mega for that Top 5. The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit.
Damn I never knew that was what that name meant
@@ashantinyongo7632 Listen to the track "Fighting" by Goodie Mob.
TOP5 MISSY ELLIOTT GOAT 🐐 ❤ 🙌 ♥ 😍 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The real Top 5 tho: Eminem, Tupac, Andre 3000, Big Pun, Tech N9ne =)
Nothing but respect for Missy
I didn't like Lil Wayne, but I got respect for him since Kendrick mentioned him as one of his influences
Can't be mad about respect between OG's. Give them flowers while they're alive
Ironically, they both are my faves! Wayne is my favorite male rapper and Missy is my favorite female rapper.
Ok , lol,, that Man said Jay z is always going to be the greatest to ever speak ,,, real life talk Jay z is a different breed
Dont ever put tupac name in your lyrics dont even have him in your top 5 smfh i know that your list but damn i was surprise
#1 because she the best female rapper
@Tai Babatunde queen Latifah, a few great female rappers in history but Missy change the game as far as female rappers in my opinion
Straight up you can't be a GOAT if you're not writing your own rhymes. That's not a criticism of anyone as an artist, but as a rapper, that needs to be a prerequisite.
That means Dr. Dre is out, Kayne is out, and Drake is out.
Kanye is not out. Stop it.
Wayne is out Gillie write da Carter , 10 songs Diddy out Ric Ross wale wrote some shit for him plus he a bitch Nikki out SB wrote her hits
Lil Wayne is out
Wayne doesnt write. He raps straight up.
@@ninadganore Wayne had a ghost writer look it up
Always love me a Missy Elliott video cause her creativity in her videos is second to none
Y'ALL gotta realize Wayne ain't wrong about his no#1 pick! Missy Elliott been around in this male dominating industry for well over 20years or more. Shes highly intelligent, highly sought after lyricist& music producer, CEO, Executive , Music Label owner, etc...etc...etc... Wayne been right about her all ALONG.
Being subjective... No real credits
Hell yea! Missy Elliot is a versatile rapper/singer. She is intentionally creative and there is no one who can top her, because there is no one like her period.
Missy is a whole nother breed in her own lane , so original, so creative, so many hits HUGE but yet underated influence definitely a GOAT amongst male, female or all artists in general rap and rNb on top of that .......AND HER VIDEOS Maaaaaan
for me .. 1 eminem 2 nas 3 big 4 lil wayne 5 krshna ( indian rapper )
Missy Elliot is not in my top 5. I recognize her contribution to hiphop and music as a whole but, no. Not even in my top 20. But every one is entitled to they own opinion.💯
Beep beep. Who got the keys to the jeep.
Vrooooooooom
Missy a legend yo
Poor Wayne lookin like the oldest known human in the world
I'm more impressed with the Goodie Mob credit!!
Wayne should stop using codeine he looks like a ghost
Missy is def top 5 and changed hip hop/Rap
Missy is timeless and her music is timeless‼️
🏆👉🏽👩🏾🔊🎶🎵🔟💃🏾🕺🏽
Why does he sound like he eats cigarettes and e&j
we need a collabo album
🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn putting her spot 1 is such a waste of a spot
Fact that he didn't mention Pac is telling. Don't EVER trust anybody who doesn't mention have Pac in the top 5
Nobody cares yt boy
Nobody cares colonizer
And I’m hoping she comes out with a straight up R&B album!
MISSY is the REAL QUEEN OF RAP HANDS DOWN💖❤🔥🎊🎉✨🎇🎆🌬💋
Lil Wayne my boy in all but he look a hot mess on god
Missy has music that will still be around 1000 years from now. 💪
Missy cold definitely one of the greats
Missy is so under rated, fair shout wayne
Missy is number 1 in book and Wayne is one of my faves!
Missy Elliots videos were Iconically ahead of her time,!!
On the Mic she gave me Female Busta Rhymes Vibez 🔥
She's in my top 10 for sure!!! Weezy will always be no.1 for me.
Well let’s get the collaboration going. What the hell they waiting on. That would be Supa dupa fly
Damn ha I thought it was an old drunk black lady on the thumb nail and said oh that’s lil Wayne
2 each its own 🤷🏿♂️
