Is Joey Bada$$ a better rapper than Jay-Z

[-InFeRnO-]

joey is advanced for his age. one of the best young artists out, despite what this place will tell you. bar for bar he's spitting better than hov right now, but no he's not touching 96 jay-z

lil b ethered him. that nikka joey was done before he even got started

That Lil B diss was wack as fukk, and the whole beef was weak as fukk

you reaching breh

 

[Insensitive]

He emulates Jay-Z regularly.
Literally straight taking the flow and rhyme structure used on
Reasonable Doubt.
It's kind of funny actually.

Where did I shyt on Joey once in this entire thread???


Saying someone isn't a better rapper than fukking JAY-Z is shytting on them???

You stans are absurd

nikka you in here talking about present day Jay-Z would annihilate Joey Bada$$ on a track fukk outta here

If that isn't shytting on him I don't know what is. Joey would hold his own on any track with anybody, especially a present day Jay-Z who's uninspired.

nikkas acting like BP3-MCGH era Jay-Z is spitting on a level that's untouchable by present day talents. STOP IT.

EXACTLY. nikkas in here acting like we're saying Joey is better than Jay in his prime. We're saying RIGHT NOW.

I doubt it but we saw the transformation of K.Dot to Kendrick Lamar.


who knows how awesome Joey can be down the line but I doubt he'll be Jay-Z good.

Joey is definitely rapping better than Jay in '13.

I'm a Jay fan, but Jay is living off his flow and hot beats at this time. He has some slick lines everynow and then but for the most part he's just name dropping, paying homage to others bars, stringing little rhymes together, etc. That kid Joey BADA$$ is raw AF.

Just to clarify, this thread is talking about right now. Struggle stans are in here transporting cats through time in order to support their argument.

I'm going to leave their respective discographies here for reference:

Joey would rap circles around Jay, this isn't 1996.

Bruh I would be the first nikka to tell you that jay new shyt weak but it was still better than summer knights. Some joeys verses are crazy but some of them shyts just be scrambling tryna force multis and shyt.

Chill
Joey's tape destroys MCHG lyrically.

I like Summer Knights more than MCHG, I haven't felt a full Jay album since American Gangster. C'Mon all Jay was doing was dropping punch lines and talking about basquiat and dualities and sh*t lmao.

A lot Joey shyt was just rambling. Jay dropped a couple jewels on that new album. The production and hooks were weak 2 me
