A College Professor Wrote A Book About Lil Wayne Being A Genius | RAP and Hip Hop News

Someone really loves Lil Wayne. A college professor from the University of Virginia wrote a book aptly titled, The Literary Genius of Lil Wayne: The case for Lil Wayne to be counted among Shakespeare and Dylan.

Kreston Kent goes to infinity and beyond to prove Wayne’s genius in this 46 page book. In addition, it should be noted that Kent compared Wayne’s lyrics to the likes of Drake, Rick Ross, and Nas. Kent also analyzed lyrics from Wayne dating back to 2007 and onwards. This of course means that Tha Carter, Tha Carter II, and Like Father, Like Son, were all excluded from Kent’s analysis.

Ironically enough, Wayne and Kent were classmates during Wayne’s time at the University of Houston in 2007. On his personal website, he refers to himself as “an exact contemporary of Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.”

If you’re interested, you can purchase Kent’s book on iTunes or on Amazon for $6.99. As for Tune, his album Tha Carter V (Part 1) drops December 9.
