Way more rappers rapped over Dead Prez. This is not a argument to help your case

Love Dead Presidents II, that's up there, but gotta go with The World Is Yours. It's one of my all time favorite tracks in the history of life 
Did you see that argument in my post or did you come to that conclusion yourself
You could also post tracks where artist remade dead presidents and didn't just freestyle over the beat like they did with the world is yours.

There’s levels to this shyt. DP2 classic but World Is Yours is a definitive hip hop record
from the rhymes to the beat to the scratching it’s hip hop personified
the whole first verse is one giant quotable .

The World Is Yours.
But what is this dumb shyt claiming that it's "rewriting history" just to compare two incredible songs?
People put so much intent and words in people's mouths in regards to discussion of Reasonable Doubt, for no real reason.

I have jay as goat. And I'll tell dp2 not fukking with world is yours. Song just too iconic, and is just the embodiment of hip-hop. If you started hip hop all over and wanted to start from scratch and needed to build a foundations starting with only 10 songs. The World is yours would be one of those songs. DP2 is a amazing song but don't have that same of essence behind it like The world is yours.

The rewriting history comes straight from Jay saying “you made it a hot line I made it a hot song”. He was literally trying to make out Dead Presidents was a bigger record. Jay fans like OP have ran with that narrative like it’s truth.
And I say this as someone who thinks DP2 was the best record on RD and is absolutely classic track. But it just ain’t as classic as TWIY.

this clearly aint the 100% precise list, but it's as comprehensive a count as we're likely to get and that gap is highly unlikely to be closed even with a precise count
where's the receipts then? the point still stands when actual datapoints say the exact opposite?
