Ice Cube Explains Why Lil Wayne Is the Best To Do It

by Daryl Nelson

Last month Fat Joe explained why Lil Wayne is the best he's ever seen in the studio. Now, Ice Cube has praised the New Orleans lyricist while on The Guest List.

"He's in a little room and there's big, giant speakers, and he's just there like, staring at the speaker," said Joe on The Shop: Uninterrupted. "He goes in the booth, 'I am a beast, feed me Hip Hop, feed me...' I was like holy f*ck. This guy took the record. He's a beast."

During Cube's interview, he said it was Wayne's metaphors that makes him the best.

“It’s hard to beat Lil Wayne. His metaphors are otherworldly," said the N.W. A member. "As far as lyrics and can make hits, you know. [He's] been copied for all these years and nothing but clones of Lil Wayne at the end of the day. I just think, besides myself ... I’ve done so much for the culture, but yeah he’s dope.”
