Am I the only one that legitimately thinks Lil Wayne>50 cent

I'm not going to mince words with you guys, but I honestly think 50 cent is horrendously overrated in this forum. Not going to say why (as it's pretty obvious), but I remember when he first came out and everyone labeled him as some sort off anti christ in rap, no different than the position Lil Wayne is in. Even his so called "classic" album was just alright to me, I guess the beats were great, but as an mc he's so elementary. He raps like he has marbles in his mouth and don't even get me started on his lyrics, it's mindnumbing how people can place him as a decent mc, let alone a top tier mc. The only thing he's alright at is singing hooks.

Now Lil Wayne isn't exactly perfect either, and I think he's shit now, but he's just a much better mc. Even if he has shoddy corny punchlines, he still attempts them. And in all honestly would most likely murder 50 if both were at their prime, and had to drop a hot 16 together. Carter II's no classic, by a longshot, but it's no GRODT either, you can actually feel a hungry mc in the tracks.

Let's not even get into the amount of material he drops like his mixtapes and albums which take a dump all over 50's catalagoue.

And finally MBDTF was one of the best albums of last year, and is the example of a mainstream classic.

Wayne maybe the better lyricist (It feels fucking weird saying that), but 50 Cent has made more songs I like than Wayne.

50 Cent makes way better music.

And i actually think thay 50 Cent has stepped his lyrical game up since he came out. 50 Cent's verses on Psycho & So Disrespectful > Wayne, people say Em wrote 50's verse on Psycho but they're stupid.

Debatable

, people say Em wrote 50's verse on Psycho but they're stupid.

Is there honestly any basis for this? Or is this just a retarded, "Jack Eminem off" move, and make it so that 50 Cent can never release any decent verses himself.

^ I agree. People make excuses so that it looks like 50 Cent can't keep up with Em on a song (he very much did on Psycho).

This isn't exclusive to Eminem, people accuse Pun for ghostwriting for Fat Joe, but where's the proof? Or Gillie the Kid (lol) for ghostwriting for Lil Wayne, when in actuality who the fuck is Gillie Da Kid?

You're obviously not the only one considering Wanye has a huge 'media' fanbase these days.

However, despite some missteps, one is intelligent and comes off as a genuine person whereas the other is quite simply, an idiot and an embarrassment to the black community.
