how bout an option for "I'm a troll and just want to make troll comments"
Troll? Yeah, you're so right :roll: Besides, I think there are plenty of other rappers better than Eminem or Jay-Z--out of the two, Eminem is better.

just because the OP even made this thread, I am %100 positive the OP voted for Eminem. If you even have to ask this you don't know much about rap at all, and if you are asking this, its pretty obvious you chose Eminem.

Jay Z > Eminem ... thats my vote.

Reasonable Doubt is better than any of Eminem's stuff. I mean Eminem is great as well IMO, his older stuff is 10x better than his newer stuff, but it's just not on the same level as Reasonable Doubt.

see that wasn't so hard was it :)

so my question to you what aspect of rap are you using to base your decision? production, lyrics, # of hits, accolades, flow, freestyle ?

I agree 100% with everything you said. I sincerely doubt the majority of the folks here have ever heard any jay-z tracks that were not just his club bangers/mtv hits

and as you said, even Eminem himself recognizes jay-z is better than he is. takes a lot of balls to say that, but even Eminem can acknowledge it himself.

Sure its an opinion who's better, but its also a fact :p

I find Jay-Z's vocal style dull and uninteresting, and like the production on Eminem's stuff more.

for those that don't know jayz does NOT write his rhymes they are all off the head. Like em sits and thinks about words and phrases and stuff and writes them down.

I enjoy Jay-Z by far but can at least respect Eminem's ability. I just don't like his style.
