Jay z or Eminem...who is the bigger Hip Hop Icon?

[JuvenileHell]

I think it safe to say that Pac and Snoop are the de facto #1 and #2 respectively, Big I think is at #3....so who between Em and Jay would take 4th place?

What does the coli think?

 

[razassin]

Depends on who you ask

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

Jay for business. Em for race/reach

 

[End Cruelty]

Overall I'd say Jay. He's been very visible about his endeavors in music and beyond. He's also half of a power couple. I'd personally put em ahead because he's technically a better rapper and shade45 is the shyt. this is a very interesting question because they have both ventured into a lot of the same fields.

clothing, crews, tours, albums (quality and sales), hit songs, skills, controversy/legal issues, beef, career comebacks. I might have to come back to this thread.

I think Hov is just more public and visible with his endeavors, and even nowadays, he has his hands on successful things across the board.
