I love Renegade, but I don't think one did particularly better on the song than the other. I mean I related to Jay more, but they were pretty great verses for him, but I've heard him do tons better than he did on that song. Eminem on the other hand dropped some of his BEST shit on that track. I mean I look at those verses as top 10 for him including all his songs, features, freestyles, everything. So Em came harder I think and took a really different approach to it. Jay from the hustlin street kid. Em from the hated on pop/rap artist/scapegoat.
That said I liked them both equally because they both offer so many different aspects of amazing verses. I've always thought there styles were so different they were hard to compare, but even on the same track I can't choose because they come from complete opposite ends of a spectrum and meet in the middle for what may be one of the best collabs I've ever heard.
