Kanye West vs. Nelly: The
great back pack rapper vs. the great pop rapper
Flow: Now this is
interesting. Nelly has a solid flow and is really consistent, while Kanye has
had the occasional stuggle bar(s) lol. Nelly.
Delivery: Kanye wins
this category. He’s got some solid delivery. Nelly isn’t half bad tho.
Albums: Okay this
one isn’t close….Nelly has some good albums, but nothing classic level. Kanye
runs away here.
Storytelling: Kanye
gets the nod again as Nelly is a pop rapper.
Legacy: Kanye!!!!
Kanye wins 4-1
Royce da 5’9’’ vs. Kid Cudi: Polar opposites go at it.
F-This is harder
than it looks. Royce is a great lyricist but he’s pretty equal to Cudi flow
wise….TIE
D-This is also
tough. Both rappers are pretty distinctive…well its another tie.
A-Royce wins this
one…but not easily. Mostly due to the fact his last album Is great, Kid Cudi’s
last one is very odd and average.
S-Royce can story
tell, but its not really his proficiency. Cudi is kind of a better storyteller
in his own way. Cudi
L-Hmm Royce has been
doin his thing for many years, but I just cant help but feel like he’s in Em’s
shadow clearly. Kid Cudi has 3 really solid bodies of work legacy wise he edges
out Royce. CUdi
Kid Cudi wins 5-3
Lupe vs. MGK: Fast spitters go at it.
F-Machine Gun Kelly has
a decent flow, but Lupe is one of the best in any region flow wise. Lupe
D-While Lupe has
decent delivery, I feel MGK really brings some dope energy on his bards. MGK.
A-This is insane,
Lupe has arguably 3 classics under his belt compared to 2 decent MGK albums.
LUPE.
S-MGK isn’t a bad or
great storyteller, but Lupe has proven to get that done in many ways,..LUPE
L-Lupe wins again….
Lupe Fiasco wins 4-1
Eminem vs. Twista: These 2 can rap so fast!
F-This is cool
because Twista and Em can both rap fast, but Twista does it more, Em does it
less; Em wins due to the fact he raps in so many different ways easily.
D-Eminem wins.
Soemetimes Twista raps too damn fast.
A-Eminem easily.
MMLP 1 & 2 nuff said.
S-Eminem is one of
the best storytellers in the game.
Twista’s style isn’t bad but he doesn’t excel at that like Nelly.
L-Twista has been
relevant longer but Eminem sweeps him.
Eminem wins 5-0
Big Sean vs. Tech N9ne: Oppiste styles, good battle…
F-Tech is a
proficient rapper, while Big Sean only shows flashes of flowing brilliance. Tech.
D-Big Sean was a
monotone rapper for most of his career….Tech has exciting delivery….Tech again.
A-I really like Big
Sean’s albums, even tho’s TN’s are good…Big Sean.
S-This is tough…..its a tie.
L-While one rapper
is incredibly commercial, the other isn’t hmm…Tie.
Tech N9ne wins 4-3
Common vs Danny Brown
F-Both are really good, it’s a tie.
D-Danny Brown has 2 voices on his album I heard which is
impressive, but I feel Common has better delivery. Common.
A-Common wins this category but not as easily as you think.
S-Tie.
L-Common. He’s done more and more well known in the game.
Common wins 5-2
