Think about this quote. "95 percent of people are always wrong".
Maybe THAT'S why when a rapper hits mainstreme, lil wayne, em, etc, people automatically assume and say they're wack. If I was like.. 'I LOVE EMINEM'.. people would be like, 'you fucking stan!'. Lol, it's ridiculous.
I have to admit, probably MOST artists that WAS underground, then went mainstream, was 10 times better before they hit the big time. Idk, it's funny how that shit works out. That's why a lot of people on here probably automatically hate lil wayne, cause he made it big and shit, but he's not THAT bad..

There's 2 ways to look at it really. 1.) If you made it big time, have way more fans, make way more money, people quote you more, then you MUST be better.
2.) If you think, 95 percent of people are usually wrong, and MORE people like wayne, (aka the mainstream artists) then Lupe is probably better.

I DO feel like lil wayne has more lyrical capability, but dumbs it down and raps what the PEOPLE want to hear. PEOPLE = MONEY.
^^ That sort of shit makes me mad though, Lupe I feel like raps for RAP. At the end of the day I think Lupe is a better lyricist. I can't judge by 'but i think lil wayne has the potential to'.. cause I DON'T KNOW. On a more consistent basis, LUPE is a better lyricist. I don't judge by, 'he hit mainstream so he must be wack' like a lot of this LB kats say, I just listen to the lyrics and judge.

TBH, I only listen to both of these rappers occasionally. But from what I've heard, (ive heard a little more of lil wayne probably, just cause hes been out longer).. LUPE is the better lyricist, hands down, idk why that's even an argument....

Interesting topic though! Never had these rappers compared before! Good thread!
