Twista Compares Lil Wayne To Tupac, Speaks On Lil Wayne’s Use Of Autotune, & How He Is Inspired By Him
- Twista
Recently rapper Twista spoke out in an interview and compared Lil Wayne to the late Tupac Shakur. He also spoke on Wayne’s use of auto-tune and how Wayne inspires him to work. I have to be honest this comparison is right on point, Lil Wayne is truly the Tupac of our generation and I don’t think alot of people realize that. Check out what Twista had to say below and let us know what you think in the comments.
“You can’t really hate on Lil Wayne for it ’cause no one had done it before in rap,” Twista said in an interview. “He was the first one that done it, so, you have to respect that. I love Lil Wayne ’cause one, he did what Tupacdid — brought a lotta records out and exceeded the normal rapper’s output. And two, he’s one of the last rappers that still makes me want to rap. Like other rappers I listen to and don’t feel nothing. But I can listen to Wayne and get inspired to pick up the pad and write something myself.”

first, i think hes correct n i agree n fuck all the other posts
first of all wayne is not like 2 pac of our era. Hes more like eazzy -e of our era. OK
Yes i agree. And i respect twista for that. Wayne is the new tupac. And i just think lil wayne is just the greatest rapper ever. It sucks tupac isnt here to see what wayne has accomplished. I have a lot of respect 4 wayne. And twista is like the fastest rapper. Lol but waynes the best rapper ever.
u can compare wayne to 2pac for the reasons twister said also wayne is or shouyld be respected nd lookd at for his lyrics..i think he has the best lyrics right now or ever, 2pac had the best lyrics so thats another comparison. But i have to agree weezy is the best rapper to ever do it and i have friends that dont like ewezy and say that he is the best to ever to do it, so that says alot
tupac’s a nigger but weezy b the shit. No lie.
Seriously, Tupac and Biggie are the best rapper altime, no matter how good lil wayne is or how good he will be, but You cant compare them. Lil Wayne doesnt even rap the same thing Tupac or Biggie did.
I am the biggest fan of lil wayne, but these ppl dont compare. Lil Wayne is the best rapper ALIVE.
Not the BEST rAPPER EVER.
And all you ppl who ride Weezy dick all the time get off it, you can enjoy his music without being a gay fag.
Learn what music is.
Umm whoever u r sds, tupac and lil wayne have a lot of similarities, if u were a fan youd know they had similar work ethics which is what twista was referring to idiot.
and “Lil Wayne doesnt even rap the same thing Tupac or Biggie did.”
that doesn make any sense, sounds like u dont know what your talking about!
man wayne is da truth hands down.Like this is da only nigga I will his albums out da store just becuz he gives me hella freebies in return… another thing to if u a true wayne fan u kno about dem days b4 da carter wen we were screamin “lights off”,”it’s up to me”, “fuck da world”,”bloodline” just to name a few of my personal favs… but anyway wayne changin up his swag so he can take the white folks money too wit dis rock bullshit…. wen it all boils down and wen waynefinally gets his wings and fly(die) drake is change his lyrics to “weezy your da best….”
Lil wayne is the BEST RAPPER EVER!!!!
shit “sds” u retarded cuz 2 pac is dea who gives fuck about a man thats is probably a skelton now no disrespect but fuk um. Think about this can 2 pac still be spitting fire shit now in 2009..hell naw that street shit gets old after a while u know. Wayne lyrics cant be compared..thats why every nigga in the game want to work wit him….”and stop hating that is a weak emotion, the lady of a nigga.”
lil is a great rapper.but i dnt think he is as equal as tupac.lil wayne has said that eminem is better than him,and eminem has said tupac was better than him, it means lil wayne is as qood, yet!but he could be as qood as eazy-e i can aqree with that. but tupac rapped with more emotions and about his life nd lil wayne raps about gangs and gettin brain lol. he isnt as good as tupac , i disagree
im not riding his dick or anything but do ur research
guys. Based on lil waynes stats and what he heas accomplished does beat the legendery tupac.
But based on thier style they are really different so u cant compare them that way. So i agree, WEEZY!
wayne do talk getting brain alot..but wayne does rap wit emotion and strong lyrics to that mixtape public enemy and listen to song numba 12
wayne do talk getting brain alot..but wayne does rap wit emotion and strong lyrics listen to that mixtape public enemy and listen to song numba 12
If Pac (R.I.P) was alive he will not use autotune…..he probably be disgusted by it…bunch of singing n shit…
C’mon now,yu can’t compare lyrics either pac told stories wit his music,he had poetry rap he was deeep with it….no one can ever be compared to Pac!!!!
Yu can’t put waynes lyrics next to pacs all wayne talks about is about how he’s the shit,money,he’s from outta space,he would take yur girl,blah,blah,blah…..I mean he’s puttin out song after song but if yu hear them his word play is fallin off….I mean I’m a wayne fan,but he needs to get bak to his bullshit and start knokin niggas in their heads again….
Agree or disagree we alll have our opinion….
he wouldn’t use autotune? hahahah. are you kidding me. he used autotune in “California love” meat head. Pac was crazy like that. he would have used autotune.
but theonly reason waynes’s lyrics is falling off is because no other rappers are bringing enough competition to make him really have to spit

NONE OF DEM ARE EQUAL. DA ONLY THINK DAS EQUAL BETWEEN LIL WAYNE IS DA TIME AND EFFORT DAT THEY PUT INTO THEIR MUSIC. LIL WAYNE IS NOT DA NEW TUPAC ONLY BECAUSE THERE WILL NEVA BE ANOTHA 2PAC. JUST LIKE THERE WILL NEVA BE ANOTHA WAYNE. LIL WAYNE CAME INTO DIZ RAP GAME AS LIL WAYNE NOT NEW TUPAC HOW DARE YALL COMPARE HIM TO SOME OTHA RAPPER MUCH LOVE 2 TUPAC BUT WAYNE IS WAYNE AND TUPAC IS TUPAC I SEE NO SIMILARITIES AT ALL.
when is rebirth comming out!!!!!!! someone tell me!
when is baller blockin coming out agian
man, real talk i dnt think he da nxt tupac, but i do think wayne should be legendary for his work and his lyrics, imean who flip lyrics like him and use metaphors, wayne will def be remembered by me after he’s gone
errr , i guess .
but twista is 100% CORRECT !
Look i dont curse but in dis verse man fuck da world!!!!!
agreed love ya weezy <3
2pac was my favorite rapper for ever. Now 2pac is my second favorite under weezy. So for all of you saying the 2 cant be compared… Why not? pac is a legend but wayne is a living legend. And when wayne dies (hopefully not soon) people will be acting much different. Just like with Mike Jackson.. I bet 3 weeks ago half of you would say Mike Jack is a chomo and shit. Now the man passed and everyone is riding him. Jus like pac, jus like big. So all in all I guess they are all great but……….. wayne is the greatest
fuck u all stupids, no fuckn lil wayne shit he is an addicted stupid , who is just swearing around, you guys should find a better way to make an African American or a Black person that you call niga proud. not putting nonsense into peoples mind.

You said that about 6 hours ago.. All that moonshine affects the memory though I suppose.
Regardless of race, you have to respect the hard work and cleverness that goes into Wayne’s work. If you come to this site just to hate or try and get a shock reaction then seriousley find something better to do. It’s weak..
And I agree for admin to ban that KLB&LDC&REO white trash retard..
Lil wayne is the new Tupac hands down. I aint saying he is better though Im saying in this generation where stars are compared to legends lil wayne is the new tupac
there is no argument ladies and gentlemen…..if big and pac hadnt passed very few of the artist now-a-days would even be in the industry and thats a fact! But its a new game now and guess whos the captain, I’ll give you a hint your on his site…One love people
Wayne def isn’t the new tupac….tupac never rode anyones dick like Wayne rides baby’s and tupac would never be gay enough to do this rock bull shit or auto tune rapping leave the auto tune to t pain Wayne you sound wack on it….the new Wayne is trash and can’t and never should be put in the same phrase as tupac shakur
yall are some fuckin haters…wayne is the best rapper alive….pac is the best rapper ever PERIOD!
one thing they have in common is that they both changed the game….
Let’s get this right first I have been reading these post and people saying that Wayne rode Baby’s dick is ridiculous.
I’ll put it to you this way IF THERE WAS NO BABY THERE WOULD BE NO WAYNE! Baby brought him into the rap game and kept him out of the dark side of the industry. Baby taught Wayne to save all his emotion so he can unleash it on the mic and ONLY THE MIC. Why do you think he is so good? He is a pit bull that sics only when told to. So much respect to Baby because without him we would not be having this discussion.
PS.
All you Hova riders on this autotune topic need to drop it because J’s “D.O.A” makes my ears want to bleed. All this Autotune mess is just another way to make himself look like an originator and a way to dodge the obvious fact that he can not keep up with Wayne’s stamina. So the best angle would be to attack how the music is made so it eliminates direct targets. Sorry to say he has a lot more eggs to crack before that omelet becomes anywhere near edible.

AS FOR THE TUPAC COMPARISON
——–
Tupac was very strong pro black activist. He could have armies of people to do what he wanted, this includes murder at the mere mention if he wanted. Tupac is from a world of Black & White. While Wayne is from a time when the only color that mattered was green. I am talking about racism for the slow. Sorry to say that comparing them will only disgrace what Tupac was about. Wayne never said he was better than Tupac. US THE FANS DECIDED TO DISCUSS THIS TOPIC and it is clearly because he is of the same caliber. Tupac wanted unity even at the sacrifice of himself and sadly it took that. We as people take what rappers say toooooooo literally. How many kings, gods, legends, monsters, beasts, and etc are there in the rap game? MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS! There will never be a best as long as people have opinions. So let the MUSIC speak for itself and either you are going to like it or your not but please do not bump it in private then turn around and put down on it because then your only shitting on yourself and what both Wayne and Tupac are/were about.
cassidy spits and so does every body u said but who stills listen to cassidy unless u a fan niggga havent came out wit a album since like six years then cassidy is fake talk all that shit bout wayne and end doing songs wit him …the fuck?
twista you shouldnt be inspired by wayne….ur black ass needs to look up to jared from subway bc you one fat son of a bitch
AND lucas stop trying to sound so fucking smart since you ride weezys dick like the rest of these bitches think about his name weezy fucking baby…..wait did you get it weezy is fucking baby. you say waynes a pit bull ready to attack but hes fucking 5’2” maybe more like a damn bitches dog hiding in babys purse
why dont u get off the computer and do somethin with yo motha fuckin life besides getting on this website to say how much u wish lil wayne was gay. everybody on here knoowwss wayne gets way more pussy than u ever will so idk why your trying to say hes gay. quit hatin cuz hes got talent and ya dont.
hell yeah, I feel the same way. I hear Wayne’s music and start writin down my own lyrics, just for fun lol. Never even realized that.
Aye weezyfan
I am a fan of cassidy that dude is on his bullshit….listen to the mixtapes he goes go hard on all of them….
The only songs they made were umm “get more money”,”pop that”,”6 minutes”…..
I believe wayne is fake cause he talked shit about niggas wearin skinny jeans,bright colors,piercings!…
Wen he rocks skinnys,wears bright colors,has his lip and eye brow pierced wut the fuck is that?……
I’m a wayne fan and all but cmon we need the old weezy bak….he needs to up his word play again…
Wayne is a good rapper, no doubt. But I don’t understand how people can even talk about comparing him to Tupac. Tupac is the greatest rapper EVER. Lil Wayne is the greatest rapper alive. Soon people will forget about him, but Pac’s music lives forever. R.I.P Tupac
And WayneFan4eva you are dumb as fuck, you obviously don’t know shit about music, so go learn something before you post something and make yourself look stupid.
All you muther fuckers are stupid, first of all rap from the 90′s and rap from today are way fuckin different and tupac is the greatest rapper that ever lived but doin’t get me wrong wayne is my favorite rapper of today but like some of you dumb fucks said you can’t compare the two because tupac rapped about stuff that everyone cared about and stuff that was going on in the world at that time and wayne just raps about whatever comes to his mind but all in all tupac is the greatest rapper ever and if he were alive today i guarantee you he would have better stuff out than lil wayne sorry wayne i respect you and listen to your music everyday but im still down for tupac and the west coast for life. SOO WOO BLOOD LOVE
Lucas don’t let that stupid fuck weezyfuksbaby got fuckin kill himself or somthin man every thing you said is completly true and forget about these niggas you got me and the compton piru bloods to back you up homie don’t worry we got you and if we don’t i’m sure our 9′s and ak’s do for real i don’t fuck around like i said SOO WOO BLOOD LOVE oh and by the way weezyfuksbaby if your ever in compton hit me up and well see who comes out alive bitch and it’s Weezy Fuckin Baby you dumb fuckin bitch your probably just a lil bitch ass krab
i feel like wayne is the most elevated rapper in the game but i believe pac was a realer mc and person than wayne. when wayne came out he wasnt screamin that blood gang shit,and he stated in the late 90′s that he had gottin’ shot instead of keepin it real and sayin’ he accidentally shot him self then had to clean it up later.when on the other hand pac was a person who would say he sold dope for a small period of time but it wasnt for him yeah he would say fuck the cops cause of what he been thru but he came from the gutta, didnt like it and didnt glorify it. he jus kept it real and made songs like brenda gotta baby so younger people in poverty and in the world wouldnt make those same mistakes.he tried to help the community not tare it down by speakin gang shit to our kids and if he did,he would mention the bad side of it as well big ups to weezy on his success but i take pac over wayne any day.
