I think that they aren't comparable because Jay-Z's lyrics don't make you rewind the track but they make you think and they mean something. When Jay-Z raps he tells a story, and it makes sense and has a message. When Lil Wayne raps its to other peoples beats but he does it well, he's more of a freestyler. Weezy's lyrics rhyme and make you laugh and provide good entertainment but they don't convey a general message.

Short version:
Jay-Z's songs are good and they carry a message.
Lil Wayne's songs rhyme and have good lines but don't have a message.



Anyone else on this topic?
I don't like either, as there are better rappers that possess the best of both worlds as far as message and rhyme go (Z-Ro, Trae, Big Hawk, many other people from the Screwed Up Click) but the more I like out of the two, would probably be Jay-Z mostly because he's starting to give back to the community now.
