No, but it certainly helped him get signed and with promotion.

Also, without trying to sound like a presumptuous ass (well... maybe a little), you can't really go on about who is the greatest rapper when Lil Wayne is your most played artist...

Sure he can, Lil Wayne supposedly "freestyles" all of his tracks, doesn't that make him a great rapper?
It's these outdated gimmicks-rap battles, freestyles, cyphers-that hurts hip hops legitimacy as a genre. Artists that take the time to craft real songs should be praised as the best, not who can come up with the best way to diss the other persons sneakers.
Eminem has always been a terrible song writer in every facet. He's great when it comes to ability to rhyme on the spot and at the expense of others, but what does that have to do with anything? It's more of a character trait then anything musically.
