olubukato: uzoexcel and uzolexis, what a nice combination

Nice combination for what

am i dreaming?

BadBoy25:
I Like TI more because he dresses and acts decently. most of his songs makes more sense . I also like Jay Z and kanye west ,Pharrell . they act more classy with good manerism . I don't like people who act too ghetto and trashy,uneducated .

And he's gat no tattoo also.

The OP knows nothing.
When we talk of rap I give it to Nas.
Comparing Wayne and Em is like comparing Mikel and Messi.
Nothing beats Em's rage mode. Love his alter-ego

For a union........

bankydd: With the release ofThe Marshall Mathers LP 2, Eminem declares himself a Rap God, featuring the King of Rap (Kendrick Lamar) on his album, and hoping to finally pass the torch ofthe rap game to a worthy predecessor. One can debate back and forth over whether Em or Jay-Z is the greatest rapper alive, but, rather than waste any time debating semantics between these two self-proclaimed "God MCs," I'm declaring the greatest MC in the history of the game to be neither Em nor Jay. History will show that the existence of a God MC is irrelevant so long as there's life on Mars.People Love the Underdog...Eminem has complicated rhymes and rhythms. There's no denying the man knows how to put together a sentenceand spit it -- if complicated equated to musicality, however, why is"Yesterday" the most covered song in pop culture and not "Crazy Train," the fast-paced and just as classic track from Ozzy Osbourne? There's nodenying Eminem is a legendary MC anda great artist, but, while he may have seemed like the innovator in real time, looking back at his archive, the majority of his work doesn't hold up. His cartoony beats, dated pop culture references (who are Moby and Carson Daly, and why is Em mad at them?) and comical lyrics mostly fall flat. Eminem's problem is he blew up too quick -- so he never really had a chanceto mature as an artist.Lil Wayne, on the other hand, came up in the shadows of Juvenile, Manny Fresh, and Baby. Whereas Em was Aftermath's LeBron James, Weezy started as Cash Money's Allen Iverson. At best, Duane Carter was a sidekick, destined to VH1 reality and dating shows. Slim Shady is Vanilla Ice with credibility and skill; he's the Yankees, and he was supposed to win. Lil Wayne is a blinged out Southern rapper like any other. There's no reason he should still be relevant, but he is. All Marshall Mathers had to do in order to stick out was show up; Weezy had to work for his -- and that's real hip-hop.Less Is More...The career-defining single for each of emcee is Eminem's "Lose Yourself," an ode to the struggle of becoming a rapper, and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," a song about sex. Both songs are approximately five minutes long, and Em fits about 50 percent more words in his song. Weezy's lyrics are much more repetitive, so Shady is essentially working twice as hard to produce the same effect. This certainly proves Marshall is talented and hard-working. It proves he can spit complicated rhyme patterns. But is that what makes a great song? By accomplishing the same thing (a number 1 single) with half the words, Tunechi proves he has a better grasp of lyricism than the Rap God.While word count seems like a wacky way to compare two lyricists, if we're calling someone the greatest rapper alive, it's an important consideration. Lyrics are words, and, as Twitter has proven time and time again, the less words you use to express a thought, the more appealing it is. Being able to express a concise thought on a subject is the mark of a genius, and doing it melodically is a sign of a musical prodigy -- both of which describe Lil Wayne.Content Marketing...Where most people adamantly take a stance on Eminem being great while LilWayne is "garbage" lies in Shady's subject matter -- "Em raps about reallife and real problems while Wayne just talks about money, drugs, and sex." I understand what is being said, but Marshall's lyrics focus on himself while Weezy's run the gamut of subject matter, from destruction (murder) to creation (sex) to everything in between. While Shady is a master of both horrorcore and emo-rap, Tunechi not only excels at both, but can also touch on a wide variety of subjectsEminem does rap about drugs ("Drug Ballad," anyone?), guns ("Pistol Pistol", and sex ("Superman" just like Lil Wayne, but Mr. Carter is able to touch on one universal subject that Mr. Mathers still struggles with, eveninto his 40s...How to Love. Slim is incapable of writing a love song that Justin Bieber could legitimately pull off. The sign of a truly classic song is in its ability to be covered by artists from different generations, and Lil Wayne's discography will stand the test of time longer than Eminem's because compassion is what truly lasts. Em is incapable of expressing compassion without betraying his image. Weezy can release an entire album of love songs; Shady can't.A Goon to a Goblin...Relatability is an important consideration when determining an artist's "star power," and Eminem is much more relatable than Lil Wayne on the surface. Em is an every man who everyone can relate to on some level, while Tunechi is subtitled in his interviews. Aside from having a recognizable face, Slim dresses, looks, and acts like everyone else on the streets (albeit a bit more amped up). He could be anyone's son, neighbor, father, brother, etc. If you showed up to work looking like Weezy, on the other hand, you're going to be fired, and probably arrested. Lil Wayne is a Martian, and if it weren't for music, he wouldn't fit in anywhere.Unfortunately for Em, star power doesn't equate to being the best MC, and his relatability is only skin deep. People may get angry and want to kill themselves or someone else in their head every so often, but a large portion of his portfolio is angry. Basically, Eminem is a really good battle rapper, which is one of the moreclassical styles of hip-hop. Lil Wayne, however, pushes the sonic boundaries of the game to new levels. Both"Lollipop" and "How to Love" take hip-hop to levels that Shady is incapable of pulling off. Weezy is talented in any musical genre; Marshall Mathers is not.The Real Slim Shady...Unlike the classic debate over 2Pac or Notorious B.I.G. being the greatest MC ever, both Lil Wayne and Eminem are still very much in the game and cranking out hits, with each artist sitting on discographies of over 1000 tracks. As long as Em outlives Wayne (and, unless Weezy shares genes with Keith Richards, it's a definite possibility), Shady will have the last word. He still has a chance to release aunique album that breaks his formulaic approach to music. Eminem could possibly test the boundaries of rap in an unexpected way.That day may never come, however, and until it does, Lil Wayne is the undisputed greatest living MC

Fuckkk Jay Z, Lil Wayne.................all of them and give me Bob Marley, Garnett Silk, Sanchez, Beres Hammond, Sizzla, Cocoa Tea, Culture, Richie Spice, Israel Vibrations, Bushman

henricson:

Your last statement is whack!
Since when does singing about bitches, money, drugs an sex become best lyrics?

Lolz....reminds me of his line in "Motivation".
Yeye lyric

I love the both of them. But, I prefer lil wayne anytime any day.

Lil wayne is no where near TI sef,wait o @op are you high? Lose yourself destroy lil wayne career

Nice! But I totally disagree. Lil Wayne is nowhere near Em, yes! You did not include what I really wanted to see in your write-up; rap and hip-hop are both considered to be genres of the black culture. In that regard, you hardly see a white guy making headway and competing with supposed legends of such genres. Em has proven to be a rap king and a rap god overtime. He might not be the love type and I can say it authoritatively that Lil Wayne is no different from him in this regard. Slim's lyrics are 'worded' and his songs are deep because they often bother about things that happen in day-day activities, this is a true mark of a legend; unlike putting up gangsterish outfits with loopy choruses, shallow subject matters which regularly revolve around drugs, se.x and money. Em might not be a fan of love songs but his collabo with Riri on 'Just Gonna' in particular is an indication that he is extra-ordinary. I have watched several videos of Em dropping freestyles but I have never been privileged to see any of Lil Wayne's. Each time I watch Em, I end up saying 'this guy is a walking rap C4 explosive waiting and willing to explode each time he has the opportunity to'.

I think the OP has had a recent brain surgery.... Lil Wayne not NAS not Jay Z been compared to Eminem. Pls stop what you're smoking o

Eminem and T.I are the only active rappers I can easily relate to in the game right now. I miss d days of Tupac.
I'll rather listen to stuffs by Tinie Tempah than that of Weezy cos its certain that all I'm gonna hear is Pvssy, money , cars etc

armadeo:

y d sentiments? Whaaaaaat? Eminem murdered what? Back 2 d topic,first wats d word RAP means rythmic applied poetry. Pls can u answer dis question? Does eminem's rap have any rythm not 2 talk of lyrically applying poetry? He decieves wif pacy& empty raps wifout bars. Dos who know what rap entails definately know dat eminem is no near being an mc.whites just have a way of fooling we blacks.:

This cat gives the best rap performance in a concert... Full of energy and ready to entertain with his rap skills

@OP you clearly know nothing or little about rap, it is allowed for you to state that Wayne is better than Em as your own opinion but never state it authoritatively again as you've done here. Go and listen to No love, listen clearly to Wayne's verse and try to understand his lines, you will realize that he attests to Em's supremacy, however he is not scared to still stand side by side with him on the Mic. "I don't go 'round fire and expect not to sweat" - Lil Wayne (no love)

Another weekend BS

How to love...oh weezy...u won me countless chicks with this song...ah...

This is why i hate arguing ,,next time you make an opinion..back it up with facts.. Eminem is in fact my 2nd best rapper..but overall lil wayne is better..this is why

Overall Lil Wayne boasts one of the best discographies ever..only bettered by nas and jigga.. he has about 25 projects.. and his good works are unquantifiable,,
now eminem has 3 classics..
SSLP
MMLP
TES(arguable)

2 good albums
MMLP 2
bad meets evil

3 mediocre albums
relapse
recovery
encore

Lil Wayne has 5 classics

Carter 1
Carter 2
Da Drought 3
Carter 3
No Ceilings
Dedication 2

10 Good projects
Carter 4
Dedicatiion series
IANAHB etc


dont even get me started on the average albums...

both rappers have fell off..thats true,,but wayne has a bigger..better and more complete discography than em.em`s first 3 albums talk about his issues etc,,while wayne ranges from sadness,,to hurricane katrina, love,money etc...

eminem once said if he was black he would have sold hald,,,which is very true,,,

Wayne aint the best rapper out there,,and em may be more lyrical than him (No LOve, Forever verse) but Wayne is more enjoyable than him,,i bet most of you haters have only heard lollipop,,listen to half his discography and you`ll reason with me



#fu****ing with my Ipod Bumping illmatic

Blasphemy!! Asinine!!! And utter ridiculous!!!!

You lot did't even say "Rapper" - MC yano. Do you even know what a MC is? You mean the same Lil Wayne who said more time he's just chatting shiit in his lyrics, ad he doesn't know why people like it. Yes, he had his run, just as Ja Rule and Nelly did their thing when they were on-top - but that's where it ends. You lot are crazy!

And Eminem again? I now see why naija has never produced any decent rapper/MC that can actually rap, since most of you are stuck on Lil Wayne and Eminem. You lot need to start studying what hip-hop is all about. Lyrics pattern. Bars. Punchlines. Metaphors. Similes. How to put a 16 together. etc.


This thread is just ridiculous. The God son, Nasty Nas, the illmatic, and stillmatic, Nasir "Oludara" Jones, is still alive - yet nobody mentioned the best lyricist. He dropped hip-hop's bible, Illmatic, at age 19 - the greatest rap album ever.

I'm out! SMFDH!

Abeg na who J cole say him " Let Down"? Lil wayne, Eminem or 2 chainz? Nas wey university havard university and goregetown university carry as them fellow even write book about illmatic u dey call one yeye lilwayne. havent u heard Nas is the greatest lyricist ever? when u talk of hip hop the first thing to come to your mind is nas then dr dre and jay z dem before common, talib kweli dem. liv pac and biggie out dem dey rest.

I blame the dumb and moronic supermod that brought this attention-seeking thread to the FP. WTF?!! This is the most retardéd comparison ever!! Lil' Wayne a better rapper than Em? What weed was the OP smoking? Comparing "Lollipop" to "Loose Yourself" is the dumbest comparison ever. How does "How To Love" become a benchmark for rap songs? Dafuq?!! How To Love can't be called a rap song, that's like RnB. Going by the OP's dumb posts, Drake is better rapper than Lil'Wayne and all rappers DOA since he can sing RnB better than them. SMH. Too many dumb threads on the FP.
