      Jay-Z vs. Eminem
      May 09, 2010 04:14:04 am
      vibe magazine hoasted a best rapper alive poll some way back in which i voted along with millions of others. In the finals it came down to Eminem and Jay-Z. now after hearing MTV and numerous other rap sources saying Jay-Z is the best rapper alive

      I take Eminem over Jay as far as putting out a finished product goes, I like his lyrics ,style,Flow,The Throw in Em's Voice.

      So who's your PicK??

      Eminem shits all over Jay-Z. Easily.

      No rapper in the world can drop something like Eminem does! Jay-Z is good and his Blueprint albums are great but they dont come even close to Eminem.

      He revolutionised rap to what it is today! He's crazy, he's not afraid and he's brutal.

      Not a very constructive post from myself this one, but...

      I think they're both sh*t.

      ;D

      If we're talking about rap, then this is as far as I go:

      Jay-z is pure hype and bullshit.

      Eminem pure and raw and a genious with his music and lyrics.

      Probably Eminem.

      BUT. I really don't like his 'silly songs'. His more 'serious songs' are great though.

      I take it you're going to know what I mean by this.

      I like them both, though prefer Eminem.

      Sing For The Moment is one of my favourite tunes, it's massive.

      Kanye may be a good singer. i personally like his music but he wont never ever reach the height's of Eminem or standards set by him.

      Think Eminem was better when he still used drugs :laugh:
      When it comes to hiphop I prefer the oldschool stuff over most of the new stuff.

      Can't really say he's the better rapper though, the better producer and song creator sure, but he's even said himself that rapping isn't his strong point.

      I'd definitely pick Jay.

      I've never been a big fan of Eminem, some of his songs are just plain annoying.

      Although as a few of you have said, Kanye would win over both of them if I had my way.

      Eminem wins on the talent or whatever but we can't forget the fact Jay-Z gets to do Beyonce on a regular basis! Also does a song with Alicia Keys so for these 2 reasons I have to go for Jay-Z.

      I love them both. I reckon his 'silly songs' help his reputation and image. He just does it for the sake of being an arsehole :D

      I do take your point though because when given a choice, songs like Beautiful, Kim, Cleaning out my closet, Stan etc. are the ones that stick with you over something like Business.

      His craziest songs have to be Kim and Insane. Both vulgar but excellent!

      If you like crazy Eminem and silly Eminem in one then i suggest Amityville. Has that crazy feel with some silly lyrics.

      My take on this is that they are 3 completely different styles:
      Kanye, apart from being possibly the world's biggest tosser, has no rapping talent whatsoever. His production skills are decent enough although if it wasn't for regurgitating other people's work and ideas he'd have nothing. Phoney pop star trying to be cool sums him up best.
      Jay-Z used to be respected in the hip-hop world but has sold out so much it beggars belief. If you looked up "sell-out" in a dictionary it would have a picture his weird bloated face.
      Eminem - phenomenal rapper up until he started churning out dross with the likes of D12! He peaked at the Marshall Mathers LP and went slowly downhill.

      Eminem is simply amazing, his lyrics and the way he makes words work for him is like no other in the business.

      Jay-Z has some good stuff but Eminem is street ahead.

      Slightly off topic don't know if its the place to put it but do you think that the Hip-hop/Rap genre is dead or if not a shadow of its former self? I think recent hip-hop/rap can't compete with some of the older stuff.
