50 went gold with his album leaking a month in advance, lil wayne NEVER got to da zenith like 50 did.
50.
At the time he was closely affiliated with Eminem and Dr. Dre.
Wayne had an indie documentary....50 had a blockbuster biopic.
G-Unit apparel vs Trukfit
Wayne has the longevity but at their respective peaks 50 was greater. He had the biggest splash of any Hip-Hop artist in history.

I don't see how the age thing would skew things in Lil Wayne's favor. I was in my 20's when 50cent blew up and I chose Lil Wayne.50 Cent.
I can see why this is a good debateable question. But it must be a lot of young people that are leaning towards Weezy. Ya'll do know when 50 was out, Wayne was too, right? Wayne wasnt even top 10 when 50 was in his prime. It's hard to deny the impact Wayne caused when he started buzzing. You couldnt turn the rado on without hearing him. However, as many "blinded" Wayne fans as there were in his prime... There were a lot of people that hated on Wayne and with good reason. Am I the only one that feels like Wayne brainwashed a generation of "new Hip Hop" listeners? Which is why I can say Wayne definetly changed** the game more than 50 did. 50 used a rehashed gangsta persona which eventually got played out. Weezy used more of a new and different method which is why I think it worked so well and it changed the game cause now we have dudes like Drake who can rap/sing. I sound like a Wayne hater, but I love Weezy when he's featured on a song or is on a remix and I even like No Ceilings. His albums just don't do anything for me nor does the singles he comes out with for his albums. 50 was an automatic hitmaker. Who changed the game more, Weezy. Who was bigger in their prime... 50 Cent.
you younger guys don't understand how big 50 was. we was in HS and one of my hypebeast friends said "He's like Biggie and Pac combined" and son really was believing every word he said.
When 50 hit it was like a something I've never seen before and this was pre-twitter, facebook, youtube too.
Man them G-Unit mixtapes and then GRODT was like Mike Tyson or Obama type energy It wasn't just good music but it was aggressive. He was killing ja. He was building a brand. He had the "shot 9 times" mythology behind him. 50 had everybody from the prisons to the suburbs rocking with him
I say 50 cause dude even had my pops bumpin' that in da club and he dont eem listen to hip hop
This cant be real....Come on Ninjahood REALLY?
I don't get some of the arguments in here.
People saying 50 was bigger because Wayne has a strong base of people who were annoyed by him. He was annoying because he was so damn huge.
How many times have you heard someone say "Damn 50 is everywhere, I'm sick of his face and his voice on every hot song"? Now replace 50 with Wayne. How many times have you heard that?
Definitely disagree . . . To an extent people were already dressing like 50 before 50 . . . but while Kanye and Pharell made it generally more accepted for rappers to wear more fitted clothing, all the regular hood dudes at my school didn't start that **** until Wayne did . . .50, for basically all the same reasons stated already. I was in 7th grade at his height and he had white kids dyinggggg to be black like him, huge jerseys, wife beaters and all. And wayne just made kids want to get piercings.
