I don't think it's as one sided (in favor of jay z) as most would think.

Kanye has 2, maybe 3 classic albums. Jay Z has the same IMO. Jay Z has way more material, but Kanye has more quality features and he is an outstanding producer.

However, I think Reasonable Doubt puts Jay on top, but barley.

What says the music board?

I think Kanye is an atrocious rapper. I think Jay-Z is way overrated as a rapper, but still much better than Kanye.

Kanye is obviously a much better producer than Jay-Z.

I don't think Jay-Z has an album as good as "my beautiful dark twisted fantasy".

I think Jay-Z has more great tracks than Kanye. But I think a big reason for that is because he's been making music for longer.

I'm gonna use originality as the tiebreaker and give the nod to...

Kanye

Jay z kills kanye and it's not even close. Listen to the Intro on the Dynasty - Roc La Familia.

The theme song to The Sopranos
Plays in the key of life on my mental piano
Got a strange way of seeing life like
I'm Stevie Wonder with beads under the doo-rag
Intuition is there even when my vision's impaired, yeah
Knowing I can go, just switching a spare
On the highway of life, **** it's sharp in my sight
Oh! Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches
Every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned
I would turn green, me, being in the trenches
Him, living adventureous, not worrying about expenditures
I'm braving temperatures below zero, no hero
No father figure, you gotta pardon a ****
But I'm starving, my ****s, and the weight loss in my figure
Is starting to darken my heart, 'bout to get to my liver
Watch it my ****s, I'm trying to be calm but I'm gon' get richer
Through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture
Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my ****s
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
****s say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious
shite is as dark as it's been, nothing has gone as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the heart of ****s acting too suspicious
This is food for thought -- you do the dishes


Don't forget Jay don't write that shite down. Its all off the top of his dome.

Jay Z is great and overhyped at the same time imo.

Reasonable Doubt, BluePrint and maybe Blueprint 2 are his best albums. Other stuff is just "good"

Put it this way...Pac and Big died 16/17 years ago and they have the same amount of "classic albums" as Jay Z.

People keep saying he's the Jordan of rap. No he's the Rocky Marciano of Rap. He dominated in the weakest years.

He didnt really own rap until other greats were dead and other rapper fells off.

Big/Pac owned it up until the mid 90's. DMX was the best in the late 90s. Eminem/Nas(resurgence) owned the early 2000's. Jay has owned it since...but he hasnt put out any Classic albums since then either.

Best by default.
