Whose buzz was Bigger Juvenile in 98-00 or Lil Wayne right now?

Sons doing interviews with Katie Couric and 16 years olds all over the country think hes the best rapper ever.

Its not really close.
 
Waynes buzz is bigger but Wayne will never make a song with that has the world impact of the legendary "HA"
 
Wayne buzz is way bigger than juvenile..........Wayne is doing alot of business outside of music--ie.--ESPN--etc

QFT. I doubt any of us would have ever even known about Lil Wayne had Juvenile not blown up from Ha.
 
Real talk if Wayne would have had this buzz back in the day, his album would have went damn near diamond easily.
 
Wayne has more buzz, but who is he really competing with? Juv was popular in a time where Eminem burst onto the scene, No Limit was in its prime, etc.

Thats just it the rap gameain't near the league it was in the 1998-2002 stage. Back then most fans copped an album every other tuesday, butnow on average I cop an album every 4-5 months and thants including buying 80s and 90s classics(Hell the last album I bought was Follow The Leader and I'mvery

with my purchase.
 
This can't be a serious question

Nike commercials with Lebron James, narrating Gatorade commercials featuring MJ, Ali, and Jackie Robinson, guest host on various ESPN shows, ESPN blog, 8Grammy nominations, a million records sold in one week
 
As much as i like juvenile and not like Wayne, I have Never with the exception of em and 50, seen a fanbase like wayne has. Mark my words, His rock album willhorrid and it will atleast go platnium (god i hope im wrong, I hope its a brick)...... But Juve is Cash Money records when i think cash money i think Juvebecause he put them on the map.
 
Everyone keeps saying 400 Degreez>>>>

Are you guys reading the post title? I think it's pretty obvious Wayne's buzz is bigger, did Juve really do anything outside of hip-hop? Wayne's onNike and Gatorade commercials and ESPN and he sold 3 million in 2008-2009, which is AMAZING.

For the record I hate Wayne.
 
def wayne now, juvi was better tho considering they were both out at that time and wayne wasnt recognized till recently. its cuz he has less comp nowadays andthe crowd is easier to please IMO.
 
Ok This dude maid a half/half album with baby go platinum and he's releasing an "anticipated" rock album really are u serious
 
Juve sold more records

But lil wayne hit his prime when things like youtube, worldstar, blogs, etc.

Played a major part in providing MASSIVE expoure.....so he buzz got huggge.

But juvey then > weezy now.
Juvie ain't have no buzz? You in Memphis too? Man Juvie's buzz was crazy down here. Cash Money's buzz in general was. But i'd giveit to Wayne right now. Especially in our economic times and how much internet piracy is killing the industry.

at you cats, Juv was never really that hot, he was blessed with greatmanny beats and a slew of guest on his album. Have you actually listened to his greatest hit ever "Ha". Ha is right, all manny right there.
 
From what I remember Juve ain't have 98% of hip hop noobs and females call him the GOAT or "Best rapper alive".

Juvie came out of no where, 400 degrees went 4x plat. Weezy has been spittin everywhere, and the carter III is 3x plat. Of course the rap scene has changed, and records where selling back then. Those where the days when I use to go cd coppin' every Tuesday. I can still play Juvie all the way thru, unlike the carter III. Props is due to Weezy for the mil in a week. I know deep inside Weezy, his main goal is to out sell 400 degrees, it's the top selling album in the Cash Money collection.
Waynes 3x plat now would equal like 5 or 6x plat. He sold a milli in a week, back in 98 that would be like sellin 2 milli first week. Get thatlame ### out of here.
