    Catalog includes mixtapes.

    If we judging two rappers as a whole then yeah albums count, if we're talking skill for skill then no catalog wont mean much.

    Yes it counts but it's ONE aspect of the "whole"

    I'll bring back the catergories chart

    Catologue-
    Originality-
    Concepts-
    Versatility-
    Vocabulary-
    Substance-
    Flow-
    Freestyle-
    Vocal Presence-
    Live Performance-
    Poetic Value-

    Industry Impact-
    Social Impact-
    Longevity-
    Lyrics-
    Battle Skills-
    Songwriting -

    if I have you beat, out of all these accept catologue, am I better?

    Obfcl>>>>>>>jay z's doscography= raekwon>>>jay z

    liquid swordz>>>>>>>>>jay z discography=gza>>>>jay z



    This makes no sense because, Black Album, RD, American Gangster, Blueprint, vol 1 put Jay ahead of both Raekwon and GZA in terms of catalogue

    Jay z>>>>>wu tang...

    Jay Z is not better than the whole freaking group.

    What makes Jay Z one of the greats is that he has had a great career, he is a great rapper, dropped a few great albums, sold records and is an icon in the game. Based on those things Jay is >>Rae and Gza, but as far as rappers the ? IS debatable. Taking all those albums and everything out the picture.

    Songwriting, lyrics, concepts, originality, vocabulary, versatility, longevity, flow, and in some rappers cases Battle Skills.

    1. I was being sarcastic

    2. I was reffering to the both the catolugue=better, and the best vs best= better

    in this case i was using best versus best. And their best album is better them jay z best album. And to ALOT of the reason that EQUALS better no matter what. And I have a problem with that......

    See, I knew you understood that what's considered a great rapper is subjective aka debatable. Sometimes I think you get pigheaded, but you clearly have the understanding...

    Why mixtapes don't count? It's music.

    that's like counting practice drills in sports as apart of a players stats.

    I may feel that Souls Of Mischeif album 93 till infinity is better than every Outkast album yet that doesn't mean Souls Of Mischief have a better catalogue than Outkast, i'm talking about catalogue as an whole not the odd album.

    of course cause a catalogue showcases all the abilities a rapper needs to stake his claim as GOAT.
