Lil Wayne On The Favorite Verse He’s Ever Written

There are several great verses by Lil Wayne to pick from. These could be from his Dedication mixtape series, or perhaps one of his Carter albums, would not be a bad choice.

But the verse that the New Orleans icon chose as his all-time favorite so far is something you’d hardly be able to guess.

Lil Wayne was asked what he thinks is his best rap verse to date during a recent visit on Maverick Carter’s show “Mavericks.”

He looked back on his early career, but he was certain that he hadn’t yet written the best verse of his life.

Wayne specifically cited his first solo song, which was recorded at the age of fifteen from the Hot Boys’ debut album, ‘Get It How U Live!’ It brought him a lot of accolades, he said.

“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 explained.

“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.’”

“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 continued, talking about how his skills had pleased these artists.
