If you been listening to hip hop a long time, you would know who is on the list without looking.
Hip hop did not start in 1996
Def didn't but what does that have to do with what i asked sir.

Aubrey got some non r&b type songs.
Drake catalog is absolutely nuts.
I honestly don't even think it would be close between Aubrey and Jigga.
I'm not a fan of either but Drake would kill Jay in a Verzuz, too many hits.
Naw too big I take as I got other shit going on in life and I'd be fine with either 1 saying that. Can't nobody see me though. That's a call out 4 competition. And if you ain't ready to show and prove you might wanna choose your words better.
I read what you wrote and I posted an example of one of Aubreys "street" songs, which are still rnb ballads but they're also still hits (probably bigger hits than anything Jay-Z has put out).You didn't even read what I wrote which lets me know you are actually def a fan of drake and just think he'd win which is fine with me
But he wouldn't
because you posted the things I said he had instead of proving me wrong with the things I said he didn't.

I'm not a fan of Aubrey or Jay-Z, they both over rated to me.
Aubrey don't write his own lyrics and Jay-Z had the benefit of being from NY.
You're not taking into account the time periods and the platforms that were used to deliver the content using these platforms.Well you were sadly mistaken and overestimate the impact of those songs then fam
You said those 2 songs were bigger hits possibly than anything jay-z put out?
I said it like 4 pages ago wayne, kanye and Drake are the only ones that can come close; not win but come close; no others out there...Wayne is the only one CLOSE

TIP cant beat LudaBusta Rhymes
Wayne
Drake
TIP
Future
All could hold their own against Jay when it comes to bangers
I agree...drake and kanye suffer from the same thing
no REAL street anthems
not shit the fake hipsters play to look cool
i mean the dudes out there trying to get it swear by.
wayne has them jay has them
drake and kanye suffer from the same thing
no REAL street anthems

wayne has them jay has them
Appreciate the adult back and forth hereWe don't know what anyone is feeling like
but also to be completely FAIR he was asked a question and answered it
It wasn't a wrestling promo where he just decided to drop his thoughts on his place in versuz
so even in this situation he ain't the one bringing it up out of nowhere and now needs to defend his assertion
someone asked him and he gave the answer that don't enter him into anything IMO lol
hey xxironxx would you let an unarmed man rob you?
you'd be like hell nah!
welp
now we gotta see if you'd defend yourself against an unarmed man!
see how that don't work?
Future probably has more "hits" than Jay-Z.TIP cant beat Luda
Busta nope
Future well thats interesting; I would rather see Future against Young Thug
Drake and Wayne could compete though...
It aint the streets that are going to their concerts or buying their albums.
Actually now that i think about, and Im surprised no one else has mentioned him in this thread; 50 cent could hold his own against Jay...drake and kanye suffer from the same thing
no REAL street anthems
not shit the fake hipsters play to look cool
i mean the dudes out there trying to get it swear by.
wayne has them jay has them
Appreciate the adult back and forth here
He doesnt but he does have a lot of hits though; ill give him that...Future probably has more "hits" than Jay-Z.
Jay got too many yes men around him feeding his ego.
catalog... Ye maybe - Wayne yesWayne is the only one CLOSE
Does it matter? Drakes peak has now doubled Jay-Z's. You niggas sound crazy saying no one would beat/compete with him. Jay-Z had a five year run before he started dropping stink bombs. Wayne could compete with his mixtape catalog alone.Are you counting drake singing songs?
Actually now that i think about, and Im surprised no one else has mentioned him in this thread; 50 cent could hold his own against Jay...
Nah, with his G-unit catalogue, features, and mixtapes; he could compete; couldnt win but could compete; shit he got at least 10 songs with G-Unit aloneNope
50 is a flame he'd essentially playing songs from 4 year period and some of them have not aged well
put on candy shop
then put on best of me remix
1 is older by a longshot and yet still has aged 20x better.
Fuck let's have jay battle Marvin GayeDoes it matter? Drakes peak has now doubled Jay-Z's. You niggas sound crazy saying no one would beat/compete with him. Jay-Z had a five year run before he started dropping stink bombs. Wayne could compete with his mixtape catalog alone.
What are these jayz hits?He doesnt but he does have a lot of hits though; ill give him that...
What? Both of them would bring a mixed audience. Nas and Jay are boring but at least Jay got your favorite song. Nas got an album he hates performing, every song is 120 bpm verse and no one cares for Em after his 3rd album. But it was real battle rap, I'd pay to see Eminem.Nas or Eminem could.
my problem with LL is hes old and versus is skewed towards younger crowd; so it would be very hard for LL to compete against Jay; LL would be better going against Ice Cube...catalog... Ye maybe - Wayne yes
at versuz.... 20 songs?
Ye is a real PROBLEM
Wayne....
Buss
LL
b sides versuz
Wayne
Scarface
Kiss
PSAWhat are these jayz hits?
Hard knock life
If I should die
Big pimping
Empire State of mind
Ain’t no nigga
What are all these jayz hits?
Now that I think about it future running laps around Jigga when it comes to radio hits.
Dont start with stipulations and qualifiers now. Bubba lip said nobody can stand next to him. Stand on it. And again, Drakes peak has doubled his. Cherry pick the non singing songs if you must.. He still prob kicks the guys ass.Fuck let's have jay battle Marvin Gaye
Of course it matters
Jay is a rapper not a singer
Its never going be a "rap" battle; so we can stop with that now; its always gonna be a song/record battle....What? Both of them would bring a mixed audience. Nas and Jay are boring but at least Jay got your favorite song. Nas got an album he hates performing, every song is 120 bpm verse and no one cares for Em after his 3rd album. But it was real battle rap, I'd pay to see Eminem.
Nas vs Eminem. They both horrible ears for beats. And EM would smoke him.
Does Drake classify himself as a rapper or singer?Fuck let's have jay battle Marvin Gaye
Of course it matters
Jay is a rapper not a singer
Jay Z is a talented great artist, good business man, very lucky, I been following him a long time, heard his whole catalog. He has great shit, mixed in with a lot of weak and average shit. Name dropping and features with other famous people, does not make a song great. There are a lot of weak collabs featuring big names.
But niggas, always extreme with dick riding.
It hurts niggas to their soul that Kanye has way more money than Jay Z, without even trying hard to pass him. They rode that pony to the end, that Jay was the smartest, richest nigga in the hip hop industry. Threw it in every debate.
He is very successful, but Jay Z's music catalog is not the best I have heard from end to end, and he definitely is nowhere close to the best lyricist I have ever heard.
