    So cause a ? dont produce he cant be a better rapper? So Big didn't produce he wasnt one of the GOATS?


    I enjoy Kanyes Album's and Lyrical content more than Jay Z's Album's and Lyrical content


    I can't say Jay Z's Lyrics mean anything to me or amaze me but i Kanyes Lyrics are relatable and much deeper than Jay Z's

    Not really a fan of either but have given an unbiased listen to both catalogs. Both artist have great tracks and weak tracks. Kanye is a good, not great, but good producer. Jay-z ego is too big for him to have to start an aspect of rap from scratch, so he'll never produce. Jay-z is a much better rapper with a much better catalog. Kanye has no album as great as RD, BP or BA. However, Kanye doesn't have an album as wack as KC or BP2. As long as neither rapper hits eminem, my music is completely terrible these days, status they should be good to go.

    Jay Z fan's seem to be insecure about those topics being what Jay Z mostly Rap's about

    Artistry would include lyrics, emotion, production, presentation, and performance.

    I put Kanye ahead in the category of ARTIST.

    College Dropout = Classic
    Late Registration = Classic
    Graduation = Cool album
    808's & Heartbreak = Creative, out-the-box album that turned out good and worked.
    My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy = Near classic

    My Top 5 Artists (any genre):

    Kanye
    R. Kelly
    Kirk Franklin
    Nas
    Jay-Z

    But Jay Z lacks so much in the Content department and performing Hook's department


    Jay Z's only debatable classic Album is Reasonable Doubt

    The last decent Album Jay Z put out was The Black Album



    As far as being a CEO is concerned Dame Dash signed and put Kanye West on, Dame Dash signed and put Beanie Sigel on, Dame signed Camron to Rocafella too


    As a CEO Jay Z hasn't signed, discovered or put on a Rapper that went on to be succesful and sell Platinum


    Look at the Rappers Jay Z signed J Cole, Uncle Murda, True Life, Memphis Bleek non have been succesful either haven't put an Album out or sold pretty low

    Jay Z not always but for the most part will get a featured Singer to Write and Perform the Hook's on his Song's pretty much all his Album's have a lotta Song's with featured Singers who Write and Perform the Hook


    Kanye will Write and Perform the Hook's much more often than Jay Z



    As far as Hit Making of course Jay Z has made Hit Singles but i think the quality of Kanye'? Singles are much better than Jay Z's



    As far as Writing ability Kanye West is a better Song Writer his Lyrics have much more meaning a message and passion than Jay Z's Lyrics which are mostly based on selling drugs and wealth

    you should take your own advice and check album booklets to know who's given credit for writing the song. oh I forgot,you were in the studio with jay-z when he made those records.

    I'm not gonna get into jays song writing/substance/meaningful records with you. I listed his songs before and all you did was list eminem songs to dispute when he had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand

    I always thought Beanie Sigel was nicer than Jay Z too


    My biggest issue with Jay Z is he doesn't have an Album i can play and enjoy regularly his Album's sound too boring

    Jay-Z, because he is from the poetic rappers.

    Kanye is not a poetic rapper or even an artist, he is a record producer who is amazing at sampling and thats it.

    Jay can rap and is one of the best, Kanye is the best at nothing.
