Mike Jones comments on the fight between Lil Wayne and Future

Mike Jones has come to Lil Wayne’s aid after he and Future were pitted against each other in the recent heated social media debate.

In case you missed it, a single tweet from one user sparked an argument on Twitter over which of the two, Future and Lil Wayne, has the better feature. The debate has since spread to other social media apps like Instagram, where users compete in a series of keyboard warrior competitions aimed at settling the discourse one way or the other.

It all started when well-known battle rap correspondent Rosenberg Raw made a hard-hitting comment on Twitter (X), declaring that Future’s performance in the 2010s was better than Weezy’s breakthrough in the mid-to-late 2000s. More specifically, the years in which Wayne’s performance is considered are between 2006 and 2013.

“This Future Run from 2012 to 2017 could be better than Wayne’s run if we keep it at 1000,” Rosenberg Raw wrote in the tweet.

Almost immediately, users began targeting him for this bold claim, with an overwhelming number of responses favoring Wayne over Future as the superior feature size.

“Nah, we’ve never seen expectations for a verse instantly rise due to a lighter film… no words,” one user wrote in a quote-unquote reply to the original tweet.

“I love my future but be free,” added another user.

However, there were several users who argued for Future to win the feature-verse GOAT crown.

“It sounds crazy but Future has done 6 of the 7 projects with no jumps and all of them have stuck somewhere close during that run,” one user noted. Another user added, “You’re not wrong but it’s close. Still, Future > Wayne.”

As the debate reached IG users, actual rappers began to speak out, and in this case, Swisha House rap legend Mike Jones picked up where the debate left off. In his defense of Wayne, however, the “Back Then” rapper took a different approach by highlighting what each lyricist accomplished after their “epic” feature runs.

“Not at all!” Mike Jones wrote in part. “Both runs were slam dunk but who did Wayne put in after his epic run? And who did Future put in after his epic run? That shows true legacy because the game must move on and grow #YoungMoney.”

While it’s really nearly impossible to quantify this argument into a definitive decision for a winner or loser of the fight, there are a number of factors that favor Wayne over Future. The main one that comes to mind is Future’s 2013 feature that Wayne provided of his I Am Not a Human Being II track “Love Me” featuring Drake.

The track is one of the most successful songs Future produced in his long career in the 2010s, having reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On the other hand, Wayne contributed to at least two chart-toppers during his reign in the mid-to-late 2000s with his efforts on tracks like Jay Sean’s megahit “Down.”
