The categories are the same but if not a tie, then a
category can be split 7-3 or 6-4 also.
Bracket A
Kanye West vs. Kendrick Lamar-These
2 should be a tough matchup.
Flow: While both rappers are great…I’m giving this one to Kdot. He’s a
savage on the mic like all the time. Kanye is a little inconsistent sometimes.
(0-10)
Creativity: I do not feel this is a tie tie…so its actually Mostly Mr.
West. (7-13)
Storytelling: I feel kdot is an elite storyteller but Kanye is decent
too. (11-19)
Impact: This is where it gets tough. Kendrick is a west coast rapper,
but honestly he hasn’t been too much of a WC mc. Kanye’s influence can be felt
all over the game giving him the full 10 points. (21-19)
Collaboration: Tie. Clean split this time. Both rappers are legit here
and outshine other rappers when they guest feature. (26-24)
Versatility: Tough to call. Both are versatile. I’m giving a 6-4 split
to Mr. West tho. (36-28)
Albums: Oh sh**! Hmm. Both rappers have great disc. MBDTF beats GKMC,
but TPAB ties College dropout. Its kind of a case of quantity vs….nah. It’s a
tie for this. (41-33)
Commercial Success: We’ll make this simple. Kanye is 11x Platinum all
together. Kendrick is 4x platinum. That’s a 8-2 split….(49-35)
With 49 points, Kanye is gonna move on to the Semi Finals!
Bracket B
Jay-Z vs. Eminem-A predicted
matchup….let the best rapper win!
Flow: Interestingly enough both rappers have rapped fast and slow…and
at reverse points in there careers. I say clean 50/50 tie here. (5-5)
Creativity: While Jigga is a really creative, trend setting rapper…I
feel Eminem has a slight edge here. (9-11)
Storytelling: I’m gonna have to say tie here. Jay is a very good storyteller
just like slimshady. (14-16)
Impact: I feel while both rappers are impactful….Jay has a slight edge.
Everybody wanted to rap like Jigga in the late 90s and maybe all of the 2000s
too. (21-19)
Collaboration: Both rapper always bring it here….tie. (26-24)
Versatility: Ooo….sh**. These guys are pretty much as versatile as it
gets. Club bangers, personal songs, beef songs…you name it! Another tie.
(31-29)
Albums: This is where Jay takes the lead. Why? BP1 and RD were
classics. Em has 2 classics too. But Jay just has more quality albums….wow.
(41-29)
Commercial Success:s And this is where Em strikes back. He’s sold a
staggering number of albums…actually more than any rapper to date! (41-39)
Wow what a battle…but with 41points Jay-Z is gonna move on!
