Jay Z vs KRS-One (Poll)

[The Ruler 09]

AllHipHop.com: Can you list your “Top 5 Rappers Dead or Alive?”
Ice T: Here are my Top 5 rappers, in no particular order. There’s Rakim, of course, who is strictly about the flow, taking me in to a whole different dimension. Chuck D made us all put our fists in the air and said that we have to fight the power. Ice Cube, just because he’s f*cking Ice Cube. That n*gga’s a beast. When he said, “Straight Outta Compton,” to me that’s the hardest record in the history of Hip-Hop. Then there’s KRS-One. If you have never seen KRS perform live in concert, there is nothing more Hip-Hop than him. Then, I’ll toss it up between Jay-Z and Nas as one person.

So we're seeing a clear distinction between those with PROVEN knowledge and credentials as opposed to those who don't.

Let's see what MEMPHIS BLEAK says LMAO....

AllHipHop.com: Who would up say are the top 5 emcees, Dead or Alive - for Memphis Bleek?
Kool G Rap
“He was the first rapper that showed me some guns in a video and how to tie a n***a up. He was spittin’ the real. He was the M.O.P. before M.O.P.”
KRS-One
“KRS-One was the lyricist of lyricism back in the day. He was the first person to ever destroy somebody and build his career off of destroying him. He was the first 50 Cent. (laughs) Let’s clear that up!”
Rakim
"Rakim was before his time. You can put on a Rakim album and it sound like it was recorded last month. He was spittin’ harder than rappers spit now. [He was] way before his time."
B.I.G.
"When you get to the new school, you gotta put B.I.G. up there. B.I.G. made it cool for fat dudes to get fly and steal our chicks. And he was just funny. B.I. brought the comedy to rap. He made it fun again."
Tupac
“My last Top 5 pick is Tupac because Pac was real. Pac was a revolutionist. People look at Pac for the thug. But you gotta look at all the other songs, ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby’ ‘To My Unborn Child,’ ‘Dear Mama.’ Pac was the truth man. He wasn’t about lyricism. He was about getting the message to you and making sure you understood that he was dead serious about it and I loved that about him."
