But he killed Nas on both tracks he was on with him.

And you said it yourself, Em was gone.

From 05-09 he was, but not anymore.

Can't put Wayne over rappers like Eminem or Jay-Z and they've been alive his whole career. Doesn't matter who made what music in what year in this discussion. What about underground firespitters like Vinnie Paz?

All in all Wayne is a better rap artist than anyone, but rapping alone? Naah not at all

he was just the most popular

Finally. Most users on here doesn't agree with that

True,he never was the greatest lyricist.. I mean,yeah he has good wordplay and metaphors but he's not on Eminem or Nas level. But he knows how to flow on songs to make them sound good,I don't think people actually listen to what he says.
