Kanye West compares Lil Wayne to Jimi Hendrix the rocker

Check out what Kanye said about Lil Wayne on his blog:


“…I LOOK AT OUR CURRENT SUPERSTARS LIKE LEGENDS IN THE MAKING… LIKE JUSTIN IS THE NEW MIKE , BEYONCE’S THE NEW TINA TURNER, GAGA’S MADONNA, JAY-Z IS SINATRA… WAYNE IS HENDRIX, THOM YORKE IS ROGER WATERS, THESE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AS SUCH…”
What do you think? Is Weezy really at the level of Jimi Hendrix already? Maybe Kanye isn’t that familiar with classic rock haha, although their use of drugs is definitely comparable.

  2. I won’t go so far as to say wayne is the new hendrix just yet, let’s at least wait until rebirth drops. As far as Jay-Z being the new Sinatra, that’s questionable also. Nothing against hov but sinatra was no doubt the best of time. Jay-z might be ya favorite rapper’s favorite rapper but he still isn’t hands down the best at his craft. Maybe a few years ago but not lately.
