Better rapper Vol. 26: Royce Da 5'9" or Joe Budden

I say Joe Budden why? Royce always talk about his dick and in his freestyles he mostly raps from his songs.

If we talking lyrical dexterity only then of course Royce, but i like to measure everything that the artist brings to the table and this includes quality albums and mixtapes. Budden got more of that. This is the same reason we consider Missy Elliot a top female MC even though she lyrically weak compared to many of her pares. Budden has lyrics that are in no way mediocre and better music so he edges Royce out.

I never asked about artistry, its all about technical ability and Joe Budden is one of my favorites of all time, but imo Royce is a better technical rapper overall.

I'm trying to force you to pick based on removing your own bias of the artist and choose based on purely as possible on overall MC skillset.
