It's time for the convo......Who is a better rapper??? T.I. or Lil Wayne

[Rekkapryde]

I'm dying at a recent comment someone made about Wayne's new album. They said some of that shyt sound like a level from Crash Bandicoot

 

[Sad Bunny]

Sad part is nobody remembers TIs career.

He has been forgotten, sort of like the game

 

[Sad Bunny]

Wayne by far but this is the booth, so a bunch of extra nikkas gonna say TI for some hating ass reason.

Exactly no one in real life thinks this and no one in real life has listened to TI’s last five albums lol

I’m just happy Lil Wayne still generates this much discourse he can always bounce back with a good album, but it has to be flawless

Substance is big for me, so TI

Both GOATed tho. Wayne can obviously rap his ass off but after Carter 2 breh just threw shyt together. While it can be dope, that ain't the end all for me

shyt's really a tough question. Comes down to your definition of rapper and expectation, it's funny seeing both sides tear the other down like it's a insult and you slapped their mama in the mouth lmao

Talking technicals Wayne's the better rapper stronger/wittier bars, abnormal flow (a plus), more versatile. Problem is there's no structure to any song and you're all over the place listening to him rhyme words just to rhyme. Feels like he's talked about everything under the sun in 3:42 with the ADHD raps and that adds up, now in 2025 even though he's arguably as sharp as ever, he's said so much shyt people see now he's actually never saying anything. Albums suffer as a result and that's why his discography lacks, there's different expectations for albums vs road runner mouth on mixtapes

Can't think of a Tip verse better than a Wayne one but he's got complete bodies of work (Urban Legend, King) that Wayne never came close to. I don't want to hear about Carter 2, TI was over Wayne when it was out. Clear themes, A+ rapping, and prime Tip just had better production and imo better delivery. Y'all talked Drive Slow lately, Wayne can't do what TI did to that for example.

So it depends what you want, unorthodox with better bars it's Wayne. I think Tip made better big budget projects and rapped over his own shyt better than Wayne/his production

Also

Jeezy >>>>>>>>>>> T.I.

 

[BlackMajik]

Who remembers this? Everybody said the 3rd verse could be about Ross or Wayne

Whoever it was got demolished

 

[BK The Great]

T.I. Just off his records with content and the harder shyt. Plus he don’t sound like leaned up retard.

I feel like Wayne at his peak rapped at a higher level than TI, like Dedication 2, C3 sessions, Da Drought etc. But Ti was more consistent with singles and albums.

 

[Metal Face]

T.I. by far

 

[Fani Willis fan]

I used to think it was Wayne but hes very one dimensional with his writing.

 

[Cladyclad]

T.I. by far

It’s not even close
