Lil Wayne Invented Mixtapes?

Lil Wayne needs rehab. Badly! I guess calling himself “The Best Rapper Alive” wasn’t enough. During his interview with Foundation Magazine, which can be heard here, he went off on a megalomaniacal, and possibly drug induced rant, dissing all mixtape DJ’s and even goes as far as to say he originated the mixtape game.
It gets even better. In an attempt to “give ‘em a little history”, as he says, he compares himself to Alfred Nobel, whose name he got wrong, and called him the inventor of gun powder, also wrong; he invented dynamite. His whole point was that, similar to Nobel, who created the Peace Prize to atone for his destructive invention as a way of moving on with his life, he now is moving on beyond the mixtape genre that he “created”.
Just like gun powder was around centuries before Nobel, mixtapes have been around before Lil Wayne was born. Maybe if he didn’t drop out of school at 14 years old, he wouldn’t look so ignorant in his attempt to sound intelligent. Laying off the drugs might help, too.
Let this be an example, boys and girls.
Stay in school and say no to drugs.
That’s just my opinion, but I think I’m right.
Danger S is a die hard verbal demolitionist when it comes to serving his arsenal of criticism. He does not sugar coat his words because He is a glutton for the bitter truth. His experience has involved Graff Writing, B-Boying, and Emceeing from the East Coast to the West Coast, and He is now Old School Scholar's most Danger S voice!

I mean damn i didnt even know tht s*** so hes obviously not stupid, so wut if he didnt know tht it was dynamite and not gunpowder. Also the comparrison is very smart and intellegent, wayne is a great rapper nd even though hes cocky he should still be respected

You are missing the whole point. A comparison is only smart and intelligent when it's ACCURATE. He probably overheard somebody else make a reference to Alfred Nobel and ran with it instead of looking up the facts. If a person doesn't know the facts about something they should keep their mouth shut about it and talk about something they do know. How can you give props to someone who spits out bad info? Let me put it this way, you want to defend someone WHO'S TELLING YOU SOMETHING WRONG, but you want to diss me for SCHOOLING YOU ON SOMETHING YOU ADMIT YOU NEVER KNEW. Get a clue, partner.
