Is Jay Z better than Eminem?

[slimsoxshady]

Keep it real with this,
Lil Wayne the Carter trilogy (Tha Carter, Tha Carter 2, Tha carter 3)
Bettter then Jay - z Blueprint trilogy (The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2, The Blueprint 3)?

I agree. Maybe it's not better, but I prefer it.

Blueprints > Carters. You cant disagree.

You can disagree on anything. It's a matter of what has the sticking power on your iPod that determines the quality of an album in my books. Different tastes = different opinions

Jigga>Em

I can't believe people can say Jay Z is overrated, and with all respect to him, call Pac the greatest to pick up a pen

For me, it goes-

Em
Biggie
Jay
Big L
Nas
Pac
Big Pun
Rakim

But that's just me, and tbh, apart from having a personal connection to Ems music which makes me appreciate him more.. They could go in any order day to day, and are VERY close to him.

His influence on the game and the passion he put in to his music you cannot argue with.

But that's the only things that push him up from being just a "good" rapper.

When people ask me about Pac, i always say this-

"He was a good rapper, but a great poet"

I put it this way:
He was a dope rapper, but a revolutionary with his thoughts, which is what matters with Pac the most.

Jay-Z ain't overrated... People like to say people who are famous are overrated, but that doesn't mean shit. People say Wayne is overrated. He's not overrated; he got so many haters. But he is pretty bad, I gotta admit. (LilWayne4Life, your comment is fucking random.)

But Reasonable Doubt itself burns every single of Eminem's albums lyrically and musically. Influence wise. Completeness. Consistency. Even album cover.

The Blueprint 3 Better than Relapse? Hahahaha.

BP3 is AWFUL. it's Jay-z's Encore. Relapse has several good songs and a couple great songs, BP3 is shit.
