Lil Wayne’s Pick for His Best Verse Might Surprise You

There are plenty of excellent Lil Wayne verses to choose from. You can pick something from his Dedication mixtape series or maybe something from his Carter albums. One thing is for sure, though — you’ll never guess which verse the New Orleans legend picks as his best verse of all time.

While sitting down with entrepreneur Maverick Carter for his Mavericks YouTube series, Wayne had an interesting pick for his best verse after the rapper admitted that he didn’t think he’s rapped his best verse yet. “To me, to this day, my best verse is gonna always be my verse on my first solo song on the Hot Boys album [Get It How U Live!] It was a song called ‘Block Burner’,” he said before confirming that he didn’t curse on any of the song’s three verses. “And so, when we would go do shows and stuff in New York, even a TV show or something — if they had another New York artist on that, they would always pull me to the side and let me know like, ‘Bro, I respect that you rap like that and don’t cuss.’”

Wayne went on, adding that those same artists were then surprised by his skill. “They would always also tell me, ‘I thought when I listened to you, I thought you was just gonna be a little sing-song artist where it doesn’t matter if you cussing or not. But you really be rapping.’ Always New York artists,” he said.

Weezy didn’t specify which exact verse off the song was his best, but it’s safe to assume he meant all three because he went off on that song, even more so when you remember that he was only 15 years old when he recorded them.

The Hot Boys finally reunited last year after multiple false starts in New Orleans for WeezyAna Fest and just announced that they plan on hitting three cities together in February. They are set to vista Tampa on Feb. 21, Charlotte on Feb. 23, and St. Louis on Feb. 28.
