Is 4:44 better than Illmatic lyrically?

[wingstop]

Bars from 4:44

Y'all on the 'Gram holdin' money to your ear
There's a disconnect, we don't call that money over here, yeah

I be skippin' leg day, I still run the world
I pressed ahead of your team with one finger curled
I'll line you all up with one finger wave
Make nikkas weave, nikkas is out here fake
Laced front to the back, don't front
Y'all gonna make me wig, I'ma give y'all what you want

I seen eyes wide as they're about to shoot
You can be a hairpin off or you can trigger your roots

Ty Ty jumped over nikkas and he's like 5'6"
Got the heart of a giant, don't you ever forget

Bars from Ilmatic:

I ran like a cheetah

[Nobodyknows]

Illmatic as a whole is genius, Jay's great with a pen but a quotable and a few punchlines won't fit it.

 

[Standing on business]

Yes, so was the blueprint, AG, reasonable doubt

 

[Take It In Blood]

We're you born prematurely?

 

[SirBiatch]

why do these shytty threads always include the words "lyrically", "technically" and "lyricism" in the title?
