Who better than who and why??

Chamillion vs FAB - Chamillion is better due to the fact that he has a story to tell with every flow. Although FAB is one of my favorite artist out there..

Ice Cube VS LL Cool J - WOW..somebody help your boy out here..Cube is nice but LL = Hip Hop...

Snoop VS Master P. - Gotta go with the Ghetto Bill Gates Master P. This man once had the entire game on lock. Yes, even through the Biggi & Pac era..

etc...KEEP IT GOING..

T.I. vs. Rick Ross - Gotta go with T.I. He knows how to produce better and he came up with his own style. You can see influences of Biggie in Ross. Plus T.I. songs bump for longer than Ross songs.

Freeway vs. Beanie Sigel - Tough choice. While many people around here hate Freeway, I actually respect his style. But Beanie Sigel is better all around, except probably in flow.

"The Truth" > Freeway's career.

Cee Lo Green VS Big L - Gotta go with The Soul Machine Cee lo Green. Although Big L had crazy flow, Cee Lo delivers from every angle known to man..He sings (lol), raps and even give you a little glockapella...

Scarface VS Jay Z - I'll let the people decide this one...

Scarface VS Jay Z - I'll let the people decide this one...
Jay-Z is the more complete artist... Scarface is extremely dope and this is a hard comparsion but when it comes down to it.. Jigga man takes the crown.

Yea but Scarface has experienced both Group and Solo success..That's pretty big!

Tough choice here..

Lil Wayne VS Rakim - LOL..yal tell me...GHANDZ, NEILS, CDRONE, etc..

Chamillion VS Lupe - Both are lyrical story telling greats..But I have to roll with Cham with this..Solely because he flowin in the manner I like..Southern Style baby..

I'd pick Lupe over Chamillionaire although I like both.. I guess its my up north influence (even though he is a Chi-Town rapper).

Fab ****s all over cam. Fab has a better flow, beter lyrics and is an all round better artist compared to a one hit wonder whose extremely overrated.

He's far from overrated!

Exactly, P4P has lost his damn mind.

How can you say that Geto Boys help Scarfaces case against Jay-Z, but when it's N.W.A, a group that (world wide) changed the way the ENTIRE genre was going creatively, it can't help Ice Cube against LL Cool J?

I like a lot of Ll Cool J's earlier ****, and I know what he did for hip hop. I think they are both equal in longevity, in terms of their legendary status and I think that they both broke ground for their coast. But when it comes to who put out the better music, Ice Cube.. HANDS DOWN for me.

Fab ****s all over cam. Fab has a better flow, beter lyrics and is an all round better artist compared to a one hit wonder whose extremely overrated.

I agree with you that Fabolous is better than Chamillionaire, and I'm a HUGE Chamillionaire fan. But, Cham, if anything, is UNDERRATED. He put out songs like 'The Evening News', 'Ridin' Dirty' and a song like 'Hip Hop Police' as singles. All songs with social issues. And made them catchy. To top that off, 'Hip Hop Police' actually features a legendary artist, a bold move for a single. And he was willing to BRICK to do it. Sad as that is.

He's INCREDIBLY underrated.

Cube all day. This guy is basically the author of ganster rap. He's touched on far more issues than LL and was much more creative. LL was mostly lovey dovey. He's still a legend but Cube is top 5 to me period.

He was NWA. That's why when he left things fell apart. And his first 4 albums are nearly flawless. Then he came back a couple of years ago at 40 and dropped a gem. And next month he's droppin Raw Footage. And all three songs I 've heard off the album have been pure piff.

The Quality of what Cube has put out is really the case for him over L.L. In my mind when it comes to contribution to Hip hop only four other Hip Hop acts can even compare to L.L. and they are all pre-gangsta rap era, they had to do with bringing Hip Hop into existence as a genere of music. lol That said, I haven't really been a fan of L.L. since after 1985, the advancements of Kane and Rakim made him irelevant (and wack). When you combine Cube's influence on Hip Hop which has been sizable (but not quite on L.L. 's level) with the substance of what he has put out, you have to give it to Cube.

Oh and i say this as someone that actually enjoys L.L.'s oldest stuff (before 87) to this day more than most of Cube's work.

Very good point. All I would add is that Cube, along with N.W.A. and Ice T did invent an entire subgenre. LL Cool J, created a new flow and delivery, along with a style. They did all of that and then some. I just happen to think the im[act was longer lasting. Though, at the time, LL seemed bigger on the surface and I would understand an argument to the contrary.

Bone Thugs VS Gheto Boyz - East 1999 was their greatest work but I'd declare this battle a tie.

Good one here. Outkast vs. De La Soul...............

Good one here. Outkast vs. De La Soul...............
Oh boy!!! Gotta go with the group that has entered every genre known to man. Outkast!! Although De gives me a relax feeling every time I hear them..

good one left...

Royce Da 5'9 vs. Rass Kass

Battle of the criminally underrated emcees. I think Royce has an edge because he makes mainstream music just as well as he makes music for his more hardcore fan base. Examples:

Both dudes are extremely talented, i don't know who i favor on that tip. Rass might be the better lyricist, but he's not much better.

Oh my bad, I gotta pick a Southern artist huh? Alright. How about Eminem and Cham? I got Em.

Even though Rass is from the West Coast I think Royce is a more complete artist. But Soul On Ice> Death Is Certain.

Everybody should listen to Nature of the Threat.

Andre 3000 vs Common

I like Andre's flow and approach more, so I will go with him over Common sense.. but that is another ridiclously close one.

Common has had the more OVERALL focused music. Though, he did have one suspect album. He releases on a regular, sells well enough for his niche and I'd disagree with you.

Nonetheless, as you said, ridiculously close.

Now I would give you news about Katrina

but you know I can't talk about Katrina

'Cause every time I talk about Katrina

they look at me like it's a misdemeanor

Andre 3000 vs Common

I'd go with Common on that one. Not by much though.

They did all of that and then some. I just happen to think the im[act was longer lasting. Though, at the time, LL seemed bigger on the surface and I would understand an argument to the contrary.

On the subject of a longer lasting legacy, I would actually extend L.L.'s legacy into the present. L.L. popularized hardcore Hip Hop during the era of The Fat Boys and Doug E Fresh. The whole gangsta rap movement I think would have been impossible without that shift; A change in the mood and attitude of Hip Hop in general.

I have to go with Common. This guys has classic solo albums under his belt. Andre is quite abstract and really a dope emcee in his own right. But Common gets the edge he's deep in his thought pattern and makes a lot of soul music.

I'm glad he hooked up with Ye because he's getting the recognition that he should have gotten his entire career.

Oh my bad, I gotta pick a Southern artist huh? Alright. How about Eminem and Cham? I got Em.
No OG! Your region vs whoever..i just titled it as such

Andre 3000 vs Common

I like Andre's flow and approach more, so I will go with him over Common sense.. but that is another ridiclously close one.
I too will have to go with Andre..Common has deep flow but sometimes its just too deep for me..Andre is a wacky individual that somehow keeps my attention..Close but I gotta go with Andre

Slim Thug VS MIMS - Gotta go with the Boss of the South that live on the Nawf...Slim has a crazy delivery..I hate that he got hooked up Pharyl or whatever because he turn him into something he's not..MIMS just wanna be from down here..lol..j

Young Jeezy VS FAB - Snowman baby.....

Young Jeezy VS FAB - Snowman baby.....

I got Fabulous.

Lyrically, Jeezy doesn't even come close to FAB.

Young Jeezy VS FAB - Snowman baby.....

Albums got to go with Jeezy without a doubt. But overall as an artist/talent wise I'll take Fab and won't think twice. Did you hear Fab's verse on Wayne's album??? It was crazy..........

Okay how about Big Boi vs. DMX?

Big Boi has always been underrated.

Who better than who and why??

Chamillion vs FAB - Chamillion is better due to the fact that he has a story to tell with every flow. Although FAB is one of my favorite artist out there..

Master P capitalized on Biggie & Pac's deaths to sell his label. No Limit wasn't moving anything outside of your region til Pac was already wormfood... and Biggie was dead before his next album was out too

T.I. vs. Rick Ross - Gotta go with T.I. He knows how to produce better and he came up with his own style. You can see influences of Biggie in Ross. Plus T.I. songs bump for longer than Ross songs.

Freeway vs. Beanie Sigel - Tough choice. While many people around here hate Freeway, I actually respect his style. But Beanie Sigel is better all around, except probably in flow.
Sigel's last album was great, no joke...

Albums got to go with Jeezy without a doubt. But overall as an artist/talent wise I'll take Fab and won't think twice. Did you hear Fab's verse on Wayne's album??? It was crazy..........
Yes Sir!!

Albums: Jeezy
Lyrics: FAB

Both are hot in my book..They got a delivery that's just great..Great delivery, great beats & good lyrics often mean a good album will be producted..

Okay how about Big Boi vs. DMX?

Big Boi has always been underrated.
I gotta go with DMX...That cat was a poet..His lyrics are insane and his passion on the mic is unmatched...Big Boi is also great! He delivers in a crazy fast pace style that catches your attention quick..

Sir Lucious Left Foot > Crack Man X.

DMX was my favorite from from the time he dropped his first album, until he dropped his 4th. Since "The Great Depression", his career has been....greatly depressing. Drugs are bad news.
