who is better lil wanye or lupe fiasco, and why?

They are both extremely talented young men. I honestly think it is unfair to compare them. It's like asking if White Gold is better than Yellow Gold. Same quality, shine, price, but it's all a matter of taste and mood. Both have exquisite wordplay technique, but different subject matter. Wayne gives an expansive view of his world with catchy metaphors and vivid similes, whereas Lupe does something similar but from a seemingly broadened horizon, often playing on everyday topics that a wider audience may or may not relate to. I can't think of many others in the mainstream who can touch either one lyrically. They give hope to this rap game.

This I think is not worth answering because I know you like lil' wayne better because you have him listed first. The audiences that listen to lil wayne are complete opposites. If you like lil wayne, we already know which type of person you are, you can find what Im refering to in most of these lil wayne lovers. Lupe fiasco has a different audience. One who is ready for more, some progression. One who is a bit more educated, (lets be real - if you are illiterate, you probably wouldnt even consider it *rhyme*). His raps are on a higher level, it takes more intelligence to understand his words. Lupe represents a whole different type of people, he is more spirtiual in his raps, and proves that there is a broader variety of subjects that one can rap about. Ive listened to weezy many times, and put his best lyrics agaisnt some of lupes best lyrics, and since I am part of a different audience or course I will choose Lupe over Lil' Wayne. Weezy raps about a complete different thing than that of lupe. And it doesnt seem to matter to me much. I dont care much more material things as much as another would, like if i was on LSD *oh look theyre spinning**OMG they spin!!!* Naw thats not me, lupe is way more talented.

On another note, some people support him because he makes more money, he looks good, and for his beats, and fail to realize that lyrics are on the table, and at the end of the day im not gonna be able to convert anone to lsiten to rap *on a higher level*.

Lupe's Lyrical content and punchlines are much more sophisticated than lil wayne's. Also his subject choice is much more diverse and it talks about real issues. Lupe kinda reminds me in Tupac in a sence as he is for the furtherment of his race.

Only thing Lil Wayne has on Lupe is money, and flow.

Need more proof look at the answers for Lupe compared to Weezy's. Even his fan's answers are more thought out.

Lupe has been in the game less time but Wayne didn't get on point lyrically until recently. Lupe has not sold out. Plus his flow is better than Wayne's. As far as overall skills they are fairly even but the have tottaly different styles. My vote goes to Lupe because he just has deeper meaning to his tracks than Wayne does.

lupe fiasco is better. i hate new rap, but lupe fiasco is actually pretty good. his lyrics arent about how hes got this and that and they are actually real lyrics. lil wayne is not a "g" hes a fake *** piece of **** rapper. just like most of the other fake new guys

lupe fiasco is better in my opinion lyrically

i like lil wayne more because he's one of the best freestylers out there . he also takes chances with his lyrics and music . he reaches out to me more the lupe does and his voice gets to me . lupe and wayne are way different from each other but i think they are both great at what they do . lupe raps about things that are way different then what wayne raps about .

most rap is infantile, i find the lyrics of lupe to be of a higher caliber than "b.ithces this and b.itches that ni***"

the state of rap right now is horrible, nothing quality has come out in some time.

weezy deff. better

with all his metaphores and complicated lyrics

if u havent noticed wayne is educated in his raps

and he could murk lupe in any battle and or freestyle

they say alot of music will kill a rappers carrer, but whne u up 2 ablums and 3-4 mixtapes out and your still the ****,

THEN YOUR THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE

my opinion is that lil' wanye is better, i have never even hears of lupe fiasco, but i listen to lil' wanye all the time
