Looking at that, I'd have to buy.

edit: Chuck, it's more that I think Vols 1-3 are some of Jay's weakest work. The New Danger's not making any of my favourite lists, but I think it's better than Vol 1.

These are two rappers who I love listening to though, so it's close.

sell he's clearly greater desirable than Lupe, Jay, and Ye, yet he's not on the comparable point as Tariq and Kweli. edit: a million). Black thought 2). Talib Kweli 3). Mos Def 4). Jay-Z 5). Kanye West 6). Lupe Fiasco Jay-Z could desire to be #a million yet i'm a hater. nicely i assume no longer too lots, you additionally could make a case for why those 3 may be earlier than him.

Jay Z has better rep and swag, Mos Def is more lyrical

Reasonable Doubt

BOBS

The New Danger

Black

True Magic

so I guess Mos is better, but Jay is king of new york city

Buy. Hmm depending on what mood I'm in. When I'm melo I go for some Mos Def, when I'm fierce I wants some Jay-Z..

Overall...sell.

Blackstar>RD

BOBS<BP (close)

The New Danger<Vol 1 (easily)

Ecstatic<The Black Album (easily)

True Magic = BP3 (neither particularly great, but both good)

Edit: Bonnie, you actually enjoyed The New Danger?

Edit: I understand. Its not that I like Vol 1 a whole lot, its just that I LOATHE New Danger.

Edit: TF. No, we don't!

Lyrically, yes easily. Overall, NO.

Reasonable Doubt, especially if you account for the fact that most of the dope shyt was coming from my man Kweli.

Black on Both Sides and the rest go to Jay-Z.

Sell. I like them both for different reasons. I don't care about beef.
