Em's verse on Renegade is wack to me now

[SleezyBigSlim]

Jay's verse is more relatable and is an all around smoother flow then that sacrilege filth Em was spittin

"I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollering, gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega,iron under my coat, feeling braver
Durag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me, I'm awkward, I box lefty
An orphan my pops left me,and often, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown,especially on nights
I brought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings

vs
But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America
As a motherfukkin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment, nah nah
That's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed
And I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parents
You fukking do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage
And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here
I don't think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo

[STFARN]

They both had good verses
Jays was just more emotional
Eminem talkin about how hated he was by the media
The history
Such a great song

[Zyne]

Can you link the Royce version?

I always thought Jay's verses were underrated

 

[JustCKing]

Why does this get re-visited so often? Eminem IMO was better on this song. The thing is that it didn't take Nas saying it for people to recognize that. The Source gave Eminem a quotable for one of his verses off the song. Not only that, but they glossed over some Jay verses from Blueprint for a quotable even though they gave that album 5 mics in the same issue.

The dead wrong verse is crazy, you buggin. But I always felt Jay's verses on Renegade were better than Em's. But that's a minority opinion, most people think Em shytted on Hov.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Jay's verse was better lyrically
Em had the better flow

the power of Nasir Jones

made "ether" a part of the lexicon
made the term "stan" more popular than Em did
made people believe Em "murdered Jay on his own shyt"

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Yea I always felt it was better also. Em had great verses tho. But jay verses was slight better
