    So, I have learned a lot from this board on Kanye West (including how to spell his first name :p ). I have gotten all of his albums and listened to his latest last night and was pretty impressed. I know that he has worked with Jay-Z and that Jay-Z is probably considered the better rapper due to his flow. But I want to ask this question, not only counting flow but beats, production, samples, EVERYTHING - who do you think is the better artist: Kanye or Jay-Z?

    I promise that I won't start any more threads on Kanye any time soon but I guess he has become my latest musical obsession. And I am trying to learn more about other artists that are in his genre.

    Reasonable Doubt
    In my life time volumes 1,2, and 3
    blueprint
    black album

    These are some of the best hip hop albums of their time. He has 11 straight number 1 albums. To me Jay Z is on a whole other level by himself compared to Kanye. Yea he's gone downhill but overall I'd say Jay Z is better.

    Who has more talent? Kanye

    Who's more intelligent? Jay-Z

    Better rapper? Jay-Z

    Better entertainer? Kanye

    I wish there was a tie button but Jay-Z has quite a legacy so Hova gets my vote. They make quite the team though.

    Question for Drake, why would you chose Lil Wayne, Birdman and Nicki Minaj over Jay-Z, Kanye and Jay Electronica?

    Talent gone to waste, you know that the only two songs I'll listen from Drake are Light Up (feat Jay-Z) or Say what's Real (prod. by Kanye)...

    I don't think Jay is more intelligent than Kanye, Kanye got As in High School.

    Do you see Jay-Z doing stupid ****?

    Anybody that goes from selling drugs to having a net of 450 million is a genius.

    I think Kanye is very intelligent but sometimes I don't think he uses his head (i.e. Taylor Swift, Bush incidents). Jay-Z wouldn't do that because he knows he'd lose money and fans.
