Well all rappers are poets, but I just think Lupe uses more literary devices like entendres, metaphors(of course), extended metaphors, etc. Lupe is like a classic poet to me. He is like the poets that wrote the poems that you read in HS and College and you had to decipher them because they are written so you have to think hard about the meaning sort of. His lyrics are like concentrated and they fly over peoples heads. Wayne is a poet, but like a new controversial poet. He still has metaphors, entendres and stuff like that but its not as concentrated as Lupe's. Really anybody can like Wayne because he doesn't try to mind fuck people like Lupe does. I'm not hating on Wayne. Even though I don't voluntarily listen to him I give him his props whenever I hear one of his songs. Lupe has the lyrics, delivery and has rapped about lots of subjects and from different points of view. Lil Wayne has stays on the same subjects most of the time, but his punch lines and metaphors hit you in the face and he creates raps that will sell. I think Lupe is slightly better than Wayne, but they have strengths in different areas. I don't even think "Gangsta Lupe" would be as popular to the mainstream as Lil Wayne. His raps are too concentrated. Btw I don't have that much hate for the mainstream its just that
