Sorry Eminem, but Lil Wayne is the Greatest MC Alive
well , i kinda agree that wayne is a lil bit better , but em is much more bigger and has other qualities that wayne doesnt...
Less Is More...
The career-defining single for each of emcee is Eminem's "Lose Yourself," an ode to the struggle of becoming a rapper, and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," a song about sex. Both songs are approximately five minutes long, and Em fits about 50 percent more words in his song. Weezy's lyrics are much more repetitive, so Shady is essentially working twice as hard to produce the same effect. This certainly proves Marshall is talented and hard-working. It proves he can spit complicated rhyme patterns. But is that what makes a great song? By accomplishing the same thing (a number 1 single) with half the words, Tunechi proves he has a better grasp of lyricism than the Rap God.
While word count seems like a wacky way to compare two lyricists, if we're calling someone the greatest rapper alive, it's an important consideration. Lyrics are words, and, as Twitter has proven time and time again, the less words you use to express a thought, the more appealing it is. Being able to express a concise thought on a subject is the mark of a genius, and doing it melodically is a sign of a musical prodigy -- both of which describe Lil Wayne.
This post actually got me thinkin. During Waynes five year run (04-09) this is the gap in which Em released albums. Does anybody else find it ironic thatnot even Eminem could stop the wrath of Wayne and didnt drop no music at this time even if he was battling addiction with pills and stuff? I kinda wish Em wouldve dissed Wayne with 50 on his side

Em still sold shit tons during that time, far more than Wayne. Yeah would've been fun if Em dissed them for good hiphop
