I ain't even a Hov fan like that but RD & Vol 1 Hov is arguably the best lyricist of all time

Jay by a mile how is this even debatable
Yes, I guess we need to break down the categories. Wayne has the better flows and melodies and I prefer his voice and the delivery much more. Cadence too.
Because Lil Wayne is insanely good at rapping to this day. I don’t know how he does it, but I guess he really loves it.

i speak facts not emotions
Wayne
Lil Wayne's writing credibility, let alone talent, has been questioned in the past.
Having said that, Jay-Z has a way with words that few rappers possess. He is gifted with brevity. The ability to use words precisely and consisely. 10 random people could be describing a mundane task like going to the mall to buy clothes and coming back home. Jay's way of saying it would stick with you and you could recite that phrase years from now, using it in your everyday life. He's instantly quotable, never has to try too hard to sound smart. He's the Leonard Cohen of Rap.
Dude could have been a Novelist or poet if he lived in simpler times.
Lil Wayne is on the exact same rapping level as Eminem. You can hear they're just rappers trying to rhyme words with each other for the sake of it.

Jay by lightyears
not true, Wayne's wordplay is crazy too, are you thinking about the Hot Boys era, because Wayne stepped his rhyme game up tremendously
Lil Wayne is not a lyricist.. he not even a Top 20 lyricist from the South
One of Wayne’s worst punchlines are “ we on like the television” one of Hov’s worst punchlines are “I’m the one you know like 5 divided by 4” one of Wayne’s better bars are “flow sick put a straight jacket on my words” one of Hov’s better bars are “ black maybach white seats black pipping remind of Paul McCartney and Mike fighting” his bars are more complex and thought provoking than Wayne’s simplistic punchlines in comparison. His bars aren’t hard to decipher as many people misinterpret or flat out don’t get Jay’s bars.
agree to disagree, Wayne is a top notch emcees so is Jay, there's no wrong answer
but in my opening post with the video, Jay says himself it depends on who you prefer lyrically, Jay could've easier said he was the better lyricist and the fans would've agreed with him because Jay is an icon, but he didn't
