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

[987654321]

not sarcasm breh, lmao, we just have different opinions

imo Wayne has the better punchlines, metaphors, similes, analogies, and wordplay than T.I.

both have great flows

Wayne is the superior emcee though, he has the albums, mixtapes, and features to prove it

T.I. constructs better hooks though

but lyrically Wayne is better than Tip

How much of ti’s discography did you listen to?

Wayne had a pretty short window. Carter 1, Squad up tapes”!and a lot of Carter 2 had all the cool “punchlines, metaphors, similes, analogies, and wordplay”. Everything after was hit or miss, had no depth, and aged like cat shyt. A lot of his punchlines got pretty overt and corny after 2006.

I listened to both

agree to disagree

one thing that's funny though, is that whenever Wayne catches heat, people always say something like 'he ain't been good since 500 Degrees' or something. Honestly it's done a lot with rappers.

It would be like saying T.I. been trash after Trap Muzik

It's like usually when rappers blow up to mainstream status, so-called hip-hop purist turn on them

me, as long as you keep making quality music I will continue to listen

not sarcasm breh, lmao, we just have different opinions

1.imo Wayne has the better punchlines, metaphors, similies, analogies, and wordplay than T.I.

2. both have great flows

3. Wayne is the superior emcee though, he has the albums, mixtapes, and features to prove it

1. That is NOT lyricism (at least by itself) lyricism is painting an overall picture and having an underlying context; Tip is FAR superior in that regard and hes WAY more thought provoking. Wayne being being wittier doesnt make him the better lyricist. , 2. Wayne flow is disjointed and cant ride a beat as half as good as T.I, 3, this is NOT true. Especially the bolded. Wayne doesnt have a memorable catalog when talking about albums, this why yall so eager to point out some fukking mixtapes and features.

breh CALM TF DOWN

we're having a RAP conversation, you obviously caught feelings about my opinion

It's MY OPINION, just like what you said is YOURS, just because YOU said it doesn't make it facts

if you don't like Wayne just say that, because it's obvious you don't

I like Wayne AND TI, hence the reason I'm still cool in this thread

nikka stop crying how did I catch feelings? Stop being weird. And thats corny how yall will flat out make a statement then when its challenged yall wanna try to fortify it yet punk out by saying "its my opinion" you spoke objectively so dont tuck your tail now. You the one getting emotional because you AUTOMATICALLY jumped to the conclusion that I dont like Wayne because I said T.I. is better. Yall love pulling these antics when yall no actual talking points shyt is beyond tired.

If anything Wayne got exponentially better after 500 degrees, anybody saying he was trash after 500 is just a contrarian ass hipster lol.

Drugs took over after Carter 2 though, that’s a fact. He just wasn’t sharp anymore and kept saying the same shyt.


I know most everything from the Carter 4 on down, by heart. Everything after is just a ghost of old Wayne

Wayne went downhill after Carter III. No Ceilings was beginning of the end. nikkas really gassed that bullshyt

am not reading all this sh1t, don't care if you're a Coli supporter, lmao

breh you're the one who started talking about "yall" like it's a conspiracy, lmao, which doesn't make sense because Tip WON THE VOTE in here

I don't care if I'm 'challenged' in this thread, I listen to both of them and I said what I said

I didn't even diss TI, but you're saying Wayne can't even ride a beat his comical

I never said Tip wasn't talented, I like him, matter of fact I never been to a Wayne show, but I've been TI and Jay show, so I'm not being biased, nothing against Tip

not everybody is going to have the same opinion as you, get over yourself

you can quote me again if you want, but I ain't gonna ruin the thread going back and forth with you

I like both artists, you don't like Wayne, so why are you pretending to be the one who's objective ???

Now you just being obtuse. You upset I challenged your post and now you wanna pull this agree to disagree shyt. If you dont want to be challenged, dont make statements. You couldve said "In my opinion" from the jump if you didnt wanna debate, or couldn't. And the thread already got back and forth in it wtf lol

TI is not on the same level as Lil Wayne lyrically

like not at all

I know it's cool to downplay everything on TheColi, but bar for bar Wayne is the better lyricist compared to Tip

This is you speaking objectively, not a "IMO" in sight. You just exposing yourself as a bigot.

I feel you breh, there are a lot of contrarians on here though, glad you're not one of them

as far as Wayne's drug abuse though, forget it taking a toll on his music, I'm honestly surprised he hasn't OD'd yet. He looks terrible, and Carter 6 was trash honestly

he needs to retire and get his health together though, he made his mark in hip-hop already

 

[surv2syn]

I remember when TIP was hailed as the Jay of the south. One thing that hurts him is that his first album is criminally underrated. He was rapping his fukkin ass off on that shyt. The charisma, the wittiness, the cadence was nuts.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Even at their peaks, what “lyrically” makes Wayne “far and away” better than T.I.?? Only thing Wayne did better to me is simply totally flooding the market.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

They both are mediocre if we being honest... circumstances and marketing made them seem better than they are.

 

[neomerge]

C6 was mid but better than anything to has put out in 10 years. C5, funeral, and no ceilings 3 mixtapes are leagues above anything ti has done recently.

 

[TL15]

Wayne is a better “rapper”

TI has a better catalog
