Better rapper Vol. 23: Talib Kweli or Jadakiss

[Muhannad]

I had to go with Jadakiss. I'm not crazy about neither rappers. Jada is average to me and I never liked Kweli. Always felt he got undeserved due because of his subject matter, conscious image and the emcees he's affiliated with. He's almost like a Rza to me in that sense. While Kweli got lyrics, his flow has always been garbage. Whenever he was on a track with rappers like Mos, Common or Tariq you could see the difference skillswise. He's always been like a lyrical Silkk to me. You can have all the lyrics in the world but when you can't deliver them what's it really worth? Can't listen to too much of Kweli without features.

While Kiss is kinda generic I think his flow is better, eventhough he rarely switches it. It goes both ways. I've said this before in one of KingBiz' threads but most of Kiss rarely switches subject matter, flow, his punchlines are always the same "I'm in the hood like"/ "Car coloured ..."/ generic drug and jail references. While he may be generic his fans who are into that sh*t will say he's consistent.

Between Kiss and Kweli I have to go with Kiss.

 

[Say What]

Jada got old to me and his music didn't grow with him

I can't even argue against this. Epic post bruh. I'm a fan of both and I gotta say Kiss is flows but subject matter is generic. Kweli got subject matter but his flows are inconsistent as hell. I'm gonna think about this ....... Okay I'm going with Kweli he got a better discography and he is more consistent lyrically.

This is actually a hard one. I think Talib has the edge in lryics but I like more of jadakiss type of joints. rap for rap tho verse for verse album for album I think I may have to go wit Kweli because aside from Talib second album being better than any of jada's he seem like hes a lil more versatile and his freestyle skills are probably a lil bit sharper

I'mma decide after listening to these

Raekwon - "Where It Started At" (feat. Hi-Tek, Jadakiss, Papoose & Talib Kweli)


Hi-Tek - "Where It Started At (NY)" (feat. Jadakiss, Papoose & Talib Kweli)


Papoose, Jadakiss, Rakim, Bun B & O.C. - Trickle Down Theory

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Even if i listen to more Jada s album i recognize the word power of Kweli.

 

[Gooner]

clearly kiss is a superior RAPPER

 

[its....JOHN B]

Woa at that trickle down theory lineup, never heard that

 

[BDBIID]

Talib easily.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Not close. Kiss raps WAY BETTER than Kweli. This shit ain't even remotely close unless you want to talk musically. Strict pen game, few are seeing Kiss.

 

[CoolJoe]

Kiss is overrated as hell.

Kweli is pretty underrated.

Show me something Kiss has spit fucking with that Expansion Outro.
