Lil Wayne's career has had a transformative impact on hip-hop, bringing the genre's centre of gravity further south towards his native New Orleans, challenging other artists to keep up with his prolific output and setting trends with his creative punchlines and eccentric vocal style. His influence is deeply felt in younger MCs as wide-ranging as Chance the Rapper, Young Thug and Kendrick Lamar.
