Ice Cube or Jay-Z

[KingJamal]

his falloff after 93 loses him points.

Imo Westside Connection's album was a damn good album (1996).. And Jay fell off as well after AG..

@DMTxCannabis Plus Jay had one of the worst music videos ever with Sunshine. Song's not bad but the video....LMAO

Bizarre thing is: Since Cube rejuvenated his career with Laugh Now, Cry Later he being putting out good material. You can criticize War & Peace (which he had huge hits on) but he was arguably DOA before LN,CL came out.

Jay on the other hand hasn't been the same since 2004. American Gangster was his last widely accepted great album since Black Album. So he's become as inconsistent as Cube was during the W&P years.

 

[ohhhla]

Cube may have the most classics but Jay didn't really fall of that badly.

Like his unreleases, his guest features and WTT was pretty decent.

Cube 38

Jay 29

 

[ohhhla]

Listening to both DC and AMW high as fuck with the volumes low . .

GOATNESS

But speaking of Ice Cube "so-called" fall off. He didn't have a Kanye West to keep his name out on the scene!! Without Mr. West Jigga would have fell off the face of the earth along side Cube!! And marrying the biggest R&B Diva(I'm sorry for that) helped him out tremendously to keep his name around!! P.S. I love Jay Z also!

USMarine, no need to be mad & in your feelings. Just think about the income your Jay Hova pays you when you babysit Blue Ivy

Exceptional post by @tompetrez

I cannot believe 'someone' in this thread actually did catch real feelings over the poll count . . Phew!

The Predator as well man . . Cube is GOAT

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

I went back and re read Usmarine's post, SMH I swear that nigga is either Memphis Bleek or Jay got that nigga on payroll

 

[bigryde]

Scarface and Cube would have been a better matchup.

I would have to step to the side on this vote cause Ice Cube and DJ Aksion are 1 & 1A for me!!

 

[ohhhla]

@Soloman the Wise

Aren't you the same nigga who doesn't even have Big Daddy Kane in his top 40????

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON = CLASSIC

EAZY DUZ IT (WRITTEN BY CUBE AND D.O.C.) = CLASSIC

I like how y'all didn't mention Just Blaze.

Like does Cube have a better verse than on Dynasty Intro???

Better introspective tracks like Regrets or D'Evils??

I swear when you guys bring up Jay it's

Vol. 2 to the present Jay, smh.

lol you act as if Ye was someone in the business when jay started fucking with him. Just blaze and Ye were nobodies when jay took a chance with them. Kanye did not keep jay hot, he's put out successful shit without Ye like American Gangster and Kingdom Come. If Ye is so instrumental to jays success why did Bp3 sell twice the albums of Mbtdf? Why isn't big Sean, pusha or common as successful as jay?

You niggas are dellusional, u make every excuse for dudes success.

 

[bigryde]

If my old memory serve me correctly, "Kill at Will" went gold before he even made a video for "Dead Homiez" on that albums way to going Platinum!!! All word of mouth before internet and when radio wasn't playing rap music til night time!!

 

[usmarin3]

If only niggas would hit that download button on itunes as much they do the feelings for Nas's albums.

Next album should be called Good Willmatic. Ha!

 

[KingJamal]

Seriously man are u related to Jay

Cheesus Rice!!!!
