Kanye West vs Lil Wayne. Who's Better?

???

Kanye West. His flow is nice and his lyrics are comprehensive. He's realer than Wayne, too.

Neither, you can't spell Crap without Rap!
Life is like candy, you have to throw away the rappers.
Metal FTW!

kanye is def a lot more talented. and i'm pretty sure weezy relies more on ghost writers than kanye. tho recently kanye's lyrics have been absolutely retarded and bland as sh*t. but his first two albums were ridiiiic

Kanye..hands down.

"Jay-Z "

" Neither, you can't spell Crap without Rap! Life is like candy, you have to throw away the rappers. Metal FTW! "

I don't really understand Lil Wayne. He frightens me. 
 
Kanye on the other hand is just amazing.

Kayne tries to have more substance to his music than Lil Wayne but both are exceptional lyricist

Kanye

wanye is garbage

Neither

" Neither "

They both suck and have no talent

Kanye west stomp every album he dropped went platinum

Kanye. Weezy is thrash he raps about nothing but gibberish.

Ye.

They both suck. 
 
 
*C-walks away*

Kanye by far.

Kanye all the way.

Lil Wayne. But I'm not exactly a fanboy of his either.

I can't stand Kanye and I don't think he has any charisma, soul, wit, depth or feeling to his songs. Though I'm more than willing to admit that I don't have a huge kanye palette so if anyone can suggest some of his more esoteric songs to listen to I'd at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Not that Lil Wayne is exceptionally amazing at what he does but I do think he has his moments and definitely has some talent. I think that Kanye is only held afloat because his producers know how to make an exceptionally catchy beat.

And incidentally I am a big rap fan, but I appreciate shrewdness and lyricism as opposed to egotism.

Listen to Kanye's first 2 albums if you want soul, wit, depth, and feeling.

He also produces most of his songs, so I don't know where you're going with "his producers know to make catchy beats."

Musically, Wayne isn't even remotely in the same league as him.

Wayne sucks. Drake sucks. Nicki Minaj sucks. Rick Ross sucks. Kanye West is awesome. Kid Cudi is awesome. Cage is awesome. Aesop Rock is awesome. Lupe Fiasco is awesome. I have a lot of respect for a lot of rappers but I have no respect for the club rappers and modern gangster rappers. The 90s was where it's at. In all honesty, I absolutely hate most music out there. I like Daft Punk, The Killers, Blink 182 and a few other bands and then there's a lot of rappers I like, but I just don't get the Young Money people or Chingy or artists like that.

This.

Kanye, although he is a douchebag and a gay fish, some of his songs are just poetry in motion

Kanye.

I think Kanye West is an incredibly egotistical jackass. But his talent's undeniable.

Someone doesn't like Aesop.

He's makes black history everyday...he doesn't need a month :)

I'mma let you finish. But I just gotta say, I think that MLK Jr was the most influential black man.

Haven't really heard that much from either one of them but there are some Kanye songs that I like. On the other hand, what I ahve heard from Wayne didn't really excite me.

So in other words you don't listen to Kanye's music at all?

In other words Kanye tries and fails to do exactly that. He promises aesthetics he can't deliver. To put things into context. I would pick Atmosphere and Doomtree over Kanye any day of the week

And like I said I don't listen to a lot of Kanye because after the first few times I didn't exactly give him a chance. So if you can recommend any particular songs of his that might change my mind I'm all ears. I'll listen and let you know what I think of them.

When Kanye's stuff is good it's better than most stuff Wayne comes out with. Wayne just seems to ramble on when he raps and links things that sound like they rhyme.

You may not listen to alot of Kanye but when you say that he doesn't have any chrisma,soul,wit,depth or feeling that's kind of the opposite of Kanye.What songs have you heard? Gold Digger and that's it?

No, I've heard Gold Digger, Jesus Walks (pretty good), Diamonds of Sierra Leone, Monster (Nikki Minaj made that track good), Touch the Sky, Stronger (Daft Punk is great) and E.T.

I also don't think he has a distinct voice, he has no stage presence and can't sell me what he's trying to sell. DMX is a poor example of a rapper but he had a distinct voice and tone that was fun to listen to. Jay-Z is a wonderful rapper but he has the same problem as Kanye, his voice just isn't quite there. Jay-Z makes up for it though by being a prodigious writer. Lil Wayne also has that distinctive drawl and bullfrog voice that keeps me interested if slightly confused.

His rhymes seem weak too. He relies too much on using similes and simply subtracting the like or as out of a sentence, creating a metaphor without any depth or significance. And he gets totally off track in most of his songs too.

They are both equally terrible.

Lil Wayne is way more skilled as a rapper and has been longer in the game. Kanye is good as a producer and thats all.

For the record I dont like both of them.

Kanye is a drama queen, but he's a drama queen who's infinitely more talented than Lil Wayne. It's not even close, they're not even in the same stratosphere. Anyone who cares about or listens to hip-hop would never say otherwise.
 
 Lil Wayne is the Britney Spears of Hip-Hop, he sells out to anything he thinks will sell records. You may hate Kanye, but at least he is an actual person.
