    I'll be honest I would need to listen to more Black Thought before I judge

    Jay is in my top 5 though

    JAY-Z, however I'm willing to change my answer if Black Thought ever dropped a Solo LP.

    Black Thought is a better lyricist while Jay is better at flow

    Why even differentiate the two? If a rapper with "pure technical skills" is a bad artist, then they're not a good rapper
