    Possibly laying the foundation for Reasonable Doubt and forming Roc-A-Fella with Dame and Biggs.

    He didn't partake in the greatest era of hip hop, he did not compete! He can and should not be compared nor take place alongside a Nas or a Pac, and thats real!

    It's funny how Jay wasn't a part of the era but eventually outsold and outlasted every single one of these rappers.

    You would too if you was an opportunist trendsetter.

    He did like he should have, how the fuck are you not gonna peep game from niggaz that already paved the way before you? You better soak some of that shyt up...And last I checked Snoop and Nas still very much active, Nas still making better music than this nigga too, and he came after them so he better still be going...Shyt last I check Em still goin and he sold more records than Jay, so I guess Em should be credit and more highly praised than Jay...

    using em as an example is just stupid. he's a white rapper in a white majority country, of course he'll sell a lot. he has a unfair advantage over every other single mc in history.

    but jay had the last laugh in the end. he might not have been releasing music when nas, mobb, snoop and pac was, but he sure did stay on top longer than every single one of them losers

    lmaoo, you must mean on top commercially? Cuz Nas been putting out better music than that nigga and has a way better catalogue than Jay and it ain't even close...

    America's demographics is changing, not sure how much of an advantage whites are having, specially in the growing numbers of the latinos, which was reflective and a huge factor on Obama getting a second term...so check them numbers....and Em still selling more than Jay and murdered him on the same track too...rofl...what makes Jay better than Em?

    How is Nas the best rapper when he couldn't even sell out half of MSG in his own city.

    Where you logic fails is sure Em has sales like Jay, but Em doesn't have the critical acclaim albums like Jay-z.

    Nas has critical acclaim but no mass impact.
    Eminem has mass impact but not the critical acclaim
    Jay has both.

    nas aint got a way better catalogue than jay. thats being extreme. its close. jay has good albums in blueprint 1, black album, american gangster.

    nas does have subpar albums too. lets not forget hip hop is dead, streets disciple. them shits was trash. gods son wasnt even all that.

    Nah, Em has MORE SALES THAN JAY, google that stanley...and Marshall Mathers Lp is a classic, so your argument is refuted.

    I stand incorrected, Em is better than Jay based on that criteria.



    See easy.

    Name one credible hiphop source/critic who has ever rated MMLP as a classic. That album has flaws towards the back end of the project, it deserved the 4 out 5 mics it got. Shit ain't no classic.

    Cosign this though..

    Jay ain't been shit in 6 years, aside from several verses (Shiny Suit Theory, Primetime, Murder to Excellence, etc.), but Em's catalogue is wack..

    fuck nah, Jay aint got no 3 certified classics, I'd give him the black album and thats it...

    RD is an album that he been tryna force down niggaz throats for a long time, cuz no one gave a shyt about it, Blueprint got like 3-4 tracks to skip on that bs, with a big attempt to crossover can't even play it all the way through...I'd give him the black album and that is it...

    Em got the Marshall Mathers Lp as a classic so stop hating...

    It's about opportunity and while he wasn't signed yet, he was making noise in the mainstream. He was doing collabos with Big Daddy Kane, Mic Geronimo, Big L etc before he popped.
