Anecdote: Eminem has the best verses in his discography and he lost a beef to nas.
Jay-Z has way more longevity but eminem had a much higher peak. All personal preference.
Em would probably say Hov too
He always lists Biggie Pac and often Nas above him but not Hov
I would add Devil's Night to Em's good albums list, he carried that project. And also the BME EP.
I would also add WTT and 4:44 to Jay's classics, and that Jay E trash to his bad albums since that s*** was obvioulsy a collabo album.
Em btw, but Jay is my nº2
