“When I was in the Olympics,” he told MTV News, “I didn’t really listen to music. During the Olympics, it was mainly reggae, a little hip-hop. But I like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, those guys. That’s who we listen to in Jamaica. A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it’s hot, we got it.” [...]
“Right now, it’s Lil Wayne, #1,” he said. “He’s hot. He’s got everything. He sings the right tunes. I’m seriously listening to all his songs right now. Really sitting down, listening to his lyrics, and he’s got his lyrics [down] pat now. He’s got his lyrics. He’s coming up like Jay-Z. He’s smooth. He’s got a different flow from Jay-Z, but lyrics-wise, he’s got it. He’s a lyricist. Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, I don’t care who comes third. These guys have the whole place on edge, man. It’s hot.”
Bolt said he’s getting into the mixtape circuit as well, and on the reggae tip, Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man are the tops for him.
Speaking of Vybz, check out this hilarious diss track aimed at Bounty Killer under the cut.
Dope!!! Usain Bolt is that dude,

I really don’t see how people is brave enough to put lil’ wayne and Jay together.
Bolt deserves a fucking BIG L for what he said!
“Right now, it’s Lil Wayne, #1″ LMAO
(Not a drake fan) -Waits for him to take over young money & lil’ wayne’s spotlight.
