Nas vs. Ja Rule: This might
be about as lopsided a matchup as you will see. Lets break down the
rappers by category…
Flow-Nas ha s a really crisp flow while Ja is ok…maybe decent at best.
Winner Nas.
Delivery-Nas has great delivery but not really the best. Ja has ok
delivery. Tie
Albums-Nas gets the nod easily, he’s the higher seed for a reason. Nas
Storytelling-Nas is arguably the best in the game at this, Ja Rule not
even close. Nas
Legacy-Nas wins again…he’s just too much of a great rapper…Ja set the
standard for melodic rapping…but Nas again..
Nas Wins 5-1
Talib Kweli vs. Jadakiss:These
are two very different rappers and it aims to be a good matchup.
Flow-Talib has one of the best flows imo. Jada isn’t bad either. Tie
Delivery- Talib has good delivery, but Jada has one of rap’s best
voices…Jada.
Albums-Talib wins by a little bit. He just has more great albums than
Jada who has about 2. Talib
Story-Talib is one of the best in this category. Talib
Legacy-This is tough. Jada is a great EC rapper, but Talib has been
just as great. Niether are all that commercially successful. Tie.
Talib Wins3-2
Jay-z vs. 50 Cent
Flow-Jay-z has one of the best flows in the game, and he’s pretty
consistent too. 50 has decent flow too but I’m going to have to give this to…Jay
Delivery-50 mumbles his words sometimes, and Jay has great delievey….closer
than you think but Jay.
Albums-Jay by a landslide. He’s got several albums better than 50’s
best album.
Story- TIE. Both rappers are average story tellers.
Legacy- Jay in a landslide. 50 has not been able to stay that relevant
despite a strong career start.
Jay-z wins 5-1
The Notorious B.I.G. vs. Fabolous: Does Loso have any chance against
arguably the best overall rapper in the region??
Flow-The closest category. Fab is has a good flow but
Biggie has a Great flow! BIG
Delivery-Not even close. Fab is a monotonish rapper
and Biggie has terrific delivery. BIG
Albums-Biggie, while Fab has had some good albums,
Biggie dropped back to back classics.
Story-Biggie by a little bit. Fab is a good storyteller
tho.
Legacy-BIG nuff said.
The Notorious BIG wins 5-0
Ghostface
Killah vs. Raekwon: This will be a close matchup. These two rappers are elite.
F-Tie. Both have smooth flows can’t choose here.
D-Ghost-Not an easy
decision but I feel Ghost brings a little more energy sometimes. He tends to
stand out more if both him and Rae are on a track together.
A-Ghost. Its not a landslide, but he’s got more great
albums…especially lately.
S-Raekwon. Again another close category but I think
Rae’s a little better than Ghost.
L-Legacy wise I think
it could go either way…Rae was more dominant early, but Ghost has been better
lately. Tie
Ghostface wins 4-3
close one….
J.Cole vs. Nicki Minaj: This one will be close…but not too close..
F-Tie. J.Cole has a
dope flow but I’ve seen Nicki improve here.
D-Nicki wins this
one…why? She always brings it and she sings better than Cole.
A-J.Cole. Its not
really that close. Cole’s last 2 albums have been better than Nicki’s best
album.
S-J.Cole. Another
easy win. J.Cole is a great storyteller.
L-Now this is tough.
While J.Cole is a great rapper, Nicki is the dominant female rapper today…So, I’m
goin to give this to Nicki by a lil bit to edge out Cole. Nicki.
It’s a tie, so….So I’m going to have a tie breaker; Commercial
Success. Nicki
Nicki Minaj wins 4-3
