My favorite Wayne songs are Drop The World and his collab with Eminem, No Love. Which is really an Eminem song.
I wish I could say I liked more of his pieces, but I think there's way more soul in his work on those two songs than every other song I've heard. And I DID try to like the rest of the stuff. It just felt less genuine to me.
I love the slow groove he pulls off in Drop The World... with that one song he proved to me that rap does not need to be fast to be awesome. And I feel the lyrics are EXCELLENT compared to a lot of the crap he spits.

I got:
ice in my veins.
blood in my eyes.
hate in my heart.
love in my mind.
I seen:
nights full of pain.
Days of the same.
You keep the sunshine...
save me the rain.
I hurt, but never cry.
I search, but never find.
I work, and forever try,
but I'm cursed. So nevermind.
It gets worse. But better times
seem further and beyond.
The top gets higher,
the more that I climb.
The spot gets smaller.
And I get bigger.
Tryin' to get in where I fit in...
no room for a nigga'.
But soon, for a nigga,
it be on, mu-fuckah...
'cuz all this bullshit?
It make me strong, mu-fuckah.

The chorus lyrics are, of course, hilariously juxtaposed against the poetic verses. Heh. But even it has it's charm as he expresses a level of rebellion that is hard to pull off.
Also really love this part:
Uh... my word is my pride.
But wisdom is bleak. And that's a word from the wise.
Served to survive. Murdered and bribed.
And when it got too heavy, I put my burdens aside.
