oh cmon everyone knows if there not played a million times on teeny bopper radio or mtv it means there hopeless.

Nope, just means it's hard to put forward an argument that they are artist of the decade.

 

[Woosh24]

Find me another rapper who can make Jesus popular?

Kayne raps about real issues, not how many bitchs he's been with, how many cars he owns, his hate of the fame.

Real shit. Plus he is god faring, bless him.

Once in a generation artist.

Here's a classic.

Kanye sold out! (Just like most of the rappers out there.)

Sold out?

He chose to display his talents to a wider audience. The natural progression is a cleaner studio sound and if the rapper can resonate whilst maintaining lyrical integrity so be it, sales will follow.

This bullshit about anyone being a sell out if they make it is simply tall poppy syndrome taking over.

Wut?

 

[madhawkboy]

Oh, you guys are talking about rap, not Hip Hop. My bad.

 

[omit]

Kanye didn't make Jesus popular, even though he thinks he did

 

[Lionfan17]

So we've settled with...Eminem is a better rapper when he wants to be? I still can't really split Jay and Em at the moment. I'm holding out for R2 and I'll make my mind up then.

 

[Ninty]

What has R2 got anything to do with this thread? I thought this was about the last decade.

No...The thread is titled, Eminem vs Jay-Z, who is the better rapper.

 

[Ninty]

"The two best rappers of this decade for sure, who is better?"

Fair enough, whatever.

When I say who is better, I mean who is better between the two.

So you're saying Kayne isnt a rapper?

The irony is delicious, your post is nothing but fail.
If you do not rate Food and liquor as one of the best albums released this decade your opinion counts for shit.
It is amazing, and much better then enimens best or jay z for that better. He has them both covered in pretty much every single aspect their is.

Slim Shady LP > Food and Liquor

Lupe has never done anything as raw and real as "if I had" and "rock bottom"

Lmao..no he does not! Eminem is and always will be a better rapper then Lupe Fiasco. Food and liquor? Good album, yes, but The Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers Lp and Infinite are all much better albums. Eminems Flow and lyrics are also alot better then Lupes, I would re post the Facepalm pic if I could be ****ed right now.

 

[Sealz]

Lol it is no point arguing either way....especially with Eminem fan boys... its all opinion at the end of the day....

I will say that Lupe has some of the most interesting concepts for songs that ive ever heard...he say, she say.... Daydreaming... to name a few...

Eminem said it himself... if he was black he would have sold half...

album sales have nothing to do with how good a musician is

Your missing my point mate... Eminem is held in higher regard due to being white... im not saying he isnt a dope emcee... which he is... but people who claim he is the greatest of all time are deluded... in what aspect is he the greatest emcee of all time... flow??? no... Big Pun or Big L.... story telling?? no... BIG or The Ruler...

 

[omit]

who in this thread claimed em was the best rapper ever?

 

[Opportunity Cost]

Not a huge fan of either Jay-Z or Eminem. I do agree that they have brought out some really good stuff (particularly Jay-Z's older stuff).

I personally am a huge fan of both Lupe and Kanye (if if he is a toss).

I would have to say in my mind the guys from the Wu-Tang Clan are/were insane. Ghostface, Raekwon and Method Man especially.

 

[r dub 19]

The conclusion imo is:

Eminem's best work is far superior to Jay Z's however Jayz is more consistent than em.
