DMX challenges Jay-Z

[Roovers410]

DMX can drop a better 20 than that

jay 2

As do DMX. Again, a 20 vs 20... DMX would be able to take it.

Breh, Jay Z has double the albums X has. Only way DMX is beating Jay Z is if the Jay songs are poorly chosen. Even Jay Z's weaker albums have two or three bangers on them.

Again, as everyone should of learned from the Premier and RZA battle, quantity does not necessary mean you are going to win. It's usually how brings out the hardest bangers. Even a better example is T-Pain has hits, like MONSTER successful hit songs, but he was going again Lil Jon... that ENERGY alone was advantage Lil Jon. I can see the same scenario with the Jay-Z vs DMX.

Never said it was about quantity. Note that I said even Jay's weaker albums had bangers. RZA and Premo were pretty evenly matched. Most of RZA's classic work is Wu artists where Premo's most classic work is with artists outside of his camp.

T-Pain went up against somebody who had bigger records. I mean, Jon's run of "Yeah", "Goodies", and "Freak A Leak" was crazy. Then you had songs like "Get Low", "Salt Shaker" and songs that were cult classics, but not necessarily hits.

And most of those songs he listed are mediocre
Jay is just a boring dude

If you only use Jay Z songs thru American Gangster its a vicious KO by Hov

Lil Jon was putting up non-singles as well. The battle has nothing to do with who has the biggest hit.

Depends. If it’s entire catalogue jay wins.

if it’s cut off at a certain year, I think X could/would Take it.

 

[Cladyclad]

If caveats have to be made only for it to be close means the battle shouldn’t even be talked about

I wish I was a mod lol

 

[Smokin Rider]

X's energy on hit songs might just put Jay down. This is not a lopsided battle by any means. Jay all-time is easily better than X but a 20 v 20, I think I got my money on C against a lot of rappers

alot of people on here are A&B thinkers.

they dont think outside of the box enough to understand simple concepts like "peak versus peak"

EDIT: i see theres people in here listing OTIS, story of OJ, etc

1998 was not a bad year for Jay. That was the turning point. That is when Jay Z's hot streak started and he had a string of consecutive hits that started that summer with "Money Ain't A Thang".

the turning point?
you sound like you didnt know who jay was before '98.

and "money aint a thing" didnt come out until the summer(mid-late summer at that) and it aint even his song.

most of '98 was a dissappointment for jay-z. then it picked up in the last quarter when we went back to school.

Yo I'm out of the Booth man

youre a teenaged internet geek who looks like a lesbian.

of course youre gonna think euro-hov was that knock.

stop talking to me, L7.

 

[You Win Perfect]

just shut the fukk up my man and sit the fukk down

Get Low, Salt Shaker, Damn aren't cult classics...they were HUGE records

Summer 1998 was the turning point:

And

Marked the turning point in his career. This occurred Late Spring/early Summer.
