I don't agree, but to each his own.

^this (only add strongly disagree)

You cant say eminem killed him on his own song because song was eminems not jayz's. It was going to be on the bme album i think before royce and em falling out.

[shadymathers313]

also, the correct lyrics are "Eminem murdered you on your own shit"

Came in here just to say that.

OCD tbh.

Jay's flow is nowhere near as impressive as Em's, his lyrics aren't as hard hitting, his delivery isn't nearly as appealing as Em's is...I don't think anything Jay said came close to that "fuckin' do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage!" line.

there is no such thing as OCD when it comes to Em's lyrics and being a STAN. you get the lyrics right lol

Is it that hard to respect someone's personal opinion hear? Damn! It's cool if you think that way, though. I guess Jay-Z never gave a fuck and didn't listen to Eminem's verse properly and lost.

I liked the start of the second verse by Eminem very much.

"See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
as a mother of hate, Satan and scatter-brained atheist"

Usually I do "jokes over bars"
Iron Solomon did "facts over fiction"
But tonight, the slogan I'm upholdin'...
Is I got a sandwich addiction
So stop rappin', bitch, and getcho ass BACK IN THE KITCHEN!

"Motherfuckers -
say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin doin
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view"

Jay Z is definitely talking about how ghetto he is, how the media turns a blind eye to this, and you're ignorant if you think otherwise mate.

Ems verses are better, but I won't attack you for disagreeing (calm down, @Everyone In This Thread) His message was just overall amazing. Hypocrites, bullshit criticism, etc.

Em also wrote and recorded his parts for this song before Jay-Z did. Jay-Z had all of EM's parts when he wrote it and still couldn't outdo him.

[Emadyville]

Em won on all plains.

yerp.

even nas agrees

[N.W.A.]

Damn, Ether was great. I know it was Em's song originally, but it's bad when you have a song on your album that sounds like more like Eminem featuring Jay Z, not Jay Z featuring Eminem.

[*ShadyHouse*]

Em's verse was recorded way before Jay's, so it's pretty sad that he still couldn't outdo Em's verse.

Thing is, Jay was rushing to push through his album when he asked Em for a collab. I don't Jay had as long as people think to compose his verses.

That said, he was murdered.

That beat though.. Not a lot of people mention it, but it's amazing. Perfect. 10/10

Yeah, because it took Em a whole week to write his verses

TRSS was written just a few hours before the album was due, there are no excuses when you're a veteran.

TRSS is a different kettle of fish. The majority of the track was already written down, Eminem just brought the various lines he had written throughout his lyric sheets together so that they merged in an organic way.

But that is a good point. I agree it is inexcusable that Jay's verse wasn't better, but I don't think he spits with the calibre to have created anything that out-shined Em.
