We're not talking production.

We're talking lyrics, delivery and s*** that makes you feel what they're saying, who do you got.......

KANYE or JAY Z?

FREESTYLES FROM THE YOUNG KIDS:

Kanye.

But I’m a nerd not a street dude so

And I do f*** with Jay, but I feel a lot of Kanye’s lyrics more (at least CD - 808s)

But jay did have that bar on Moment of Clarity that hit home to me crazy

“Pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well
Between him doing heroin and me doing crack sales
With that in the eggshell, standing at the tabernacle
Rather the church, pretending to be hurt wouldn't work
So a smirk was all on my face
Like, "Damn, that man's face is just like my face"

Jay easily.

Both.

Kanye

better rapper is Jayz by far

Drake

Easily Jay

Kanye the better artist though

Jay z a d*** dealer doesn’t even have a better crack related song

Jay the better rapper, Kanye the way better artist.

Although with time early Kanye has become underrated as a rapper. LR Kanye can outrap at least 85% of all rappers

Jay z obviously

I got Kanye sry

ralph cifaretto

Jay Z and Kanye has writers lmao

By your metrics you know the answer and Nas would be a better comparison

Kanye got ghostwriters his whole career

Hov

Not even close. They’re not even the same type of rapper. Jay Z is way more of a technician. Kanye is more of a “less is more” approach by taking something simple and making it more profound/relatable to the listener

Part of me feels like time period may affect this, but generally Jay-Z

Neck & neck is the real answer

I mean obviously if we we’re comparing them as RAP ARTIST rather than lyricist

Both would make my mt rushmore in that case

Jay by far tbh especially taking kanye’s writers into account

Hov vz writers and AI lyrically

Kanye himself will tell you Jay in a second lol.

What kind of question is this?

Ye's the better artist though even though Jay's artistry is decent too.

Jay Z is both the better rapper and the better artist
