Just listen to him on songs like “Niggas Bleed”. Snoop was also a good
storyteller. (25-5)

dominate many types of songs that well, but its still a tie. (40-20)

S3) Raekwon
vs S6)DMX
Flow: I feel both rappers have great
flow. So it’s a tie here. (5-5)
Creat: Both rappers are creative, but
when it comes to making unique music, I have to give the edge to the Chef.
(15-5)
Story: Hmm. Raekwon is a great
storyteller so there lol. (25-5)
Imp: I think DMX has an edge here, I
mean I don’t see too many rappers copying the likes of Raekwon. Tough one tho.
(25-15)
Collab: Both of these NYC rappers are
really good here as well. But DMX has been more invisible lately so Raekwon
gets the edge. (35-15)
Vers: DMX is a more versatile rapper.
Rae is great but he tends to stay in his own lane. (35-25)
Albums: Cloooose, but Rae wins this
category. He doesn’t really have many bad albums. DMX has a couple (45-25)
ComSuc: DMX dominates here. He’s
actually one of the better selling rappers! (45-35)
Raekwon advances barely with 45points.
DMX was a tough opponent.
S4) Lil Wayne vs. S5) J.Cole
Flow: Both rappers are great here. Tie
(5-5)
Creat: Close but I think Cole jumps out
to the early lead. His music is more unique that Weezy. (5-15)
Story: Cole easily wins this category.
(5-25)
Imp: Lil Wayne is really influential and
big for the game. Not saying J. Cole isn’t but hey. (15-25)
Collab: Tie. I feel both rappers really
bring the fire on a guest verse opportunity. If this had been made in 2011
Wayne would have own. (20-30)
Vers: Ah S**t this is tough. Lets break
this down. Wayne can make any kind of song. So can Cole. So….its a tie. Don’t
judge me. (25-35)
Album: I need to break this down. J.
Cole has no duds. Wayne has some. But Wayne’s best album has been out done by a
couple or 3 J. Cole projects so J. Cole wins. (25-45)
ComSuc: Lil Wayne steam rolls J.Cole
here. But both rappers are really commercially successful. (35-45)
J. Cole squeaks by with 45 points. This
was a horrible matchup for Wayne.
