Lol I'm kidding, but I think Wayne has a lot better songs than Kanye tbh. & I think Wayne impacted the culture a lot more. I think more rappers were influenced by Wayne than Ye.
Here is how I see it, imagine all the songs that could be on a Kanye Greatest hits album. Then imagine all the songs that could be on a Wayne Greatest hits album. (out of ALL their music including mixtapes and leaks)
Wayne>Kanye /thread....
the album argument is just stupid, not counting all of Wayne's music is unfair when all Kanye has are albums and nothing else
People are looking for the impact Wayne has had on hip-hop:
1. Revolutionized the mixtape to have mainstream appeal
2. Becoming popular through featuring on so many other people's tracks
3. Wayne was the first Drake ft. Drake. Wayne always had the best hooks and verses on the song.
4. Wayne mastered autotune. Kanye, in my opinion, doesn't come close to Wayne, T-Pain, or Future with autotune
5. Wayne had one of the most popular rap songs of all time without using a hook, just straight bars (A Milli).
6. Wayne helped cement the presence of the South in the mainstream.
7. He popularized full body tattoo's

All valid points except the auto-tune one if you ask me; Kanye made an entire album full of auto-tune and it's one of the best albums this century.
1. Kanye, along with OutKast, singe-handedly made hip-hop more creative.
2. Kanye re-popularised soul beats and sampling in hip-hop.
3. Kanye's the most critically acclaimed hip-hop artist of all time, and that's near enough fact (how many people outside the hip-hop community talk about Wayne's or Jay's albums? I know many critics outside the rap community who say Kanye has made some of the greatest albums of all time, mainly My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.)
4. "The sales competition between rapper 50 Cent's Curtis and West's Graduation altered the direction of hip hop and helped pave the way for new rappers who did not follow the hardcore-gangster mold."
5. Kanye has the most varied bodied of work of any current mainstream artist.
6. "West's 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak polarized both listeners and critics, but was commercially successful and impacted hip hop stylistically, as it laid the groundwork for a new wave of artists who generally eschewed typical rap braggadocio for intimate subject matter and introspection, including B.o.B, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, and Drake. According to Ben Detrick of XXL magazine, West effectively led a new wave of artists, including Kid Cudi, Wale, Lupe Fiasco, Kidz in the Hall, and Drake, who lacked the interest or ability to rap about gunplay or drug-dealing."
