The emperor isn't wearing any clothes!

I was gonna let this go, but it's gotten to the point it's ridiculous now. Are we still playing the game where we pretend Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive?

He is nowhere near. You cannot be the greatest at something if so many people are better at it than you. Does that make sense?

Allow me to demonstrate
Storytelling
I don't actually think I've ever heard him tell a story, so that's one point down anyway, but here's 5 emcees that would school Dwayne on how to spin a yarn.
1. Slick Rick. He basically invented story telling in rap. Take a seat
2.Ghostface. Voices, amazing flows, he has it all & gets you really involved
3.Fort Minor. "Spray Paint & Ink Pens" basically murks Lil Wayne's entire back catalogue. Nuff said
4.Eminem. Kim? Stan? I could go on, he does everything to keep you entertained & he makes it look easy.
5.Redman Reggie could actually be in every catergory in this post & that's something you can never say for Wayne.

Raw Rap Style
When it comes to hot 16s, Weezy has fair few, but he cannot compete with this lot:
1.Jadakiss. A man who has held his own on tracks with Jay-Z, Biggie, 2pac, Eminem...I could go on. Needless to say, Wayne wouldn't last 5 bars against J-to-the-mwah.
2.Aasim. Bad Boy's hidden weapon would make short work of Wayne without braking a sweat.
3.Pusha T. With bars for days, similies, metaphors & other gramatical devices in his arsenal, Pusha is a force to be wreckoned with. Plus, he's already schooled Wayne once on record.
4.Saigon. Raw raps, blazing wordplay & a voice that doesn't grate on you like Wayne's, Saigon has been serving MCs for years now. Wayne's just not in his league
5.Obie Trice. One of the most underrated MCs in the game, Trice has gone toe to toe with Benzino, Ja Rule & more & walked away unscathed. If you ever doubted Detroit was real, you only have to listen to his bars.

Singles
A true MC can make the club bounce & still spit heat. Wayne's singles just make me ill
1.50 Cent. No matter how much people hate Fiddy, they can't help but sing along. "In Da Club", "I Get Money", "Stunt 101". C'mon, Fif does it in his sleep
2.Jay-Z."Big Pimpin'", "Jigga What, Jigga Who", "Izzo". Wayne doesn't have one hit that comes close. & he could try for another decade & he still wouldn't.
3.Fabolous. "Breathe", "Make Me Better", "Can't Deny It". These are club staples & brilliant examples of lyrcisim in commercial rap. Wayne should be taking notes.
4.N.O.R.EHe showed us all how to rhyme of Neptunes beats & was the first international star of Reggaeton. Papi Nore is the man.
5.Young Jeezy. When he wasn't "Hustlin" on a remix, he was tellin us "I Luv It". All the while, keeping the clubs jumping. And "Go Crazy"? One of Jigga's best song's in years!


So go on then, tell me I'm wrong?...
