I don't agree with a lot of it, but I don't feel like making some long-ass post dissecting the article. lol

So, what do you guys think about the article, and which album do you guys think is better regarding production, lyricism, flow, delivery, chemistry between Royce and Em/Kanye and Jay, etc?

Is that article trying to say that Kanye is a better rapper than Royce?

[SG.]

I think it was bullshit dismissing Royce because he's not well known. If they hadn't, it would've been a draw.

Yup, that's what it practically said.

Fuck that.

Kanye is a crazy producer, yes, but Royce will rap circles around him.

im not even going to read it.. its just going to annoy me. the 2 really arent comparable, theyre 2 different kinds of music. watch the throne isnt raw "rap" like H:TS is... but i listened to watch the throne and thought majority of it was garbage to be honest

I agree. Like Zabe said, if Royce was more well-known, it would've been a draw. I hate it when articles say something is better because it's more popular. That's like saying Justin Bieber is the best artist out right now.

oh wait ...

Dare to say that Kanye is a better rapper than Royce.

[EG.]

As usual, most of the comments are more interesting than the article itself

Interesting read, agree about the verses and production. I thought it was stupid how they just dismissed royce. Overall you can't compare the two, total different concepts, styles, and isn't HTS just an ep not an album (they made in like 3 months, WTT was a full length album thats been in the works for over a year?)

[Master Chief]

This guy's an idiot for dismissing Royce. On top of the fact, that he was better on the whole EP, Royce is infinitely better than Kanye in every aspect of "rapping".

That's my only complaint. I don't give a shit about the review other than that straight up wrong comment.

EDIT: He's even more of a fucking idiot for trying to compare the albums based on popularity.

Kanye is smart and is a fan of Hip Hop and he knows that Royce would rip him apart...I am not even gonna read the article!

Royce's verse in Above the Law > Any Kanye Verse in his whole career

Royce's verse in Above the Law is probably my favorite verse on the whole EP

Ye's verses on Gorgeous > Royces on AtL

shrug
