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
I mean I posted examples and let you and everyone else decide and I felt I was fair I didn’t even quote from classic Jay verses and quoted from arguably a top 10 Wayne lyrical song but feel free to make your case if you believe your opinion has validity to it.

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.
Jay once said: “I bounce up like a round ball”

Wayne’s line was actually connected to other lines.

“Its YM and we on the like television….the weather channel…but I do not forecast….i throw up more cash and change the forecast”

There is a TV brand named “Onn” and he was saying his team is “on” as in getting money and enough money to make it rain.

Im not saying it’s the greatest line but y’all acting like it didn’t connect to other dope lines. And of course y’all downplay it in order to hate.

Jay is the better lyricist. But Wayne is the better "real" rapper. Jay straight up told yall he's not a rapper fukk hip-hop and he meant it. his catalogue shows he wasn't BSing.
Wayne has been better for much longer.

Jay can’t snap like this with the passion and aggression in his voice.

Wayne did what he did just off pure music. No famous wife. No Samsung deals forcing music on our phones. No gimmicks like Hov 😅

Tune just did mixtapes and albums and features :wow:

I’m talking to u sir
I’m saying. That poster pick and choose one line to make Wayne look bad. Even if we focus on those bars they’re both simple as hell at face value but they’re better when you hear the context surrounding them.

I recently discovered @Cladyclad is a legit barb. I use to get hot at his wack ass opinions. Now I'm not even sure of it's gender. He's totally ignored by me.

he/she/it has no room to speak on anything hip-hop.

I agree

but No way in hell is Wayne close to Jay

im sorry Wayne just rambles on 85% of his records. He can’t stay on subject. He just rhyme words a lot. I just think it takes way more skill to rap on topic while being genuin and entertaining. The cap in jay raps is like 3%
