I would personally pick Jay-Z because he has been around longer, but Kanye is very creative. What about yall?

Although I like Jay-Z more than Kanye as a person, I think Kanye is the better artist. He is a musical genius when it comes to hip-hop. His beats are amazing, and part of the reason Jay-Z kept his popularity through the years. He is also very good at rapping, he is the king of the one-liners. Every album he has come out with I have a ton of respect for besides 808's and Heartbreak. Jay-Z's best album without a doubt is Reasonable Doubt. It still doesn't compare to the creativity that Kanye has. Kanye is better than Jay-Z!

i'd say Kanye! basically, because he's about 100 times more creative than Jay-Z who's songs still sound like his 1st album. But Kanye switches up his style and he makes his and most of Jay-z's beats too!

Jay-Z. I think Kanye is talented but i disagree with what he did during the awards. So i suppose i've sort of put a personal dislike on him.

I think that they are two different styles of hip hop. Jay-Z is more traditional, east coast hip hop. Kanye is a bit more modern and more of a crossover. I'm not too impressed by either of them. But, I do think that Kanye is a bit more creative and entertaining than Jay.

Jay-z pretty easily. Reasonable Doubt is a great album
