    Jay is clearly the answer. The only reason you could say Kanye would be for personal preference, his versatility, or the fact that he's such a great producer.

    I also said Jay but a catalog with no bad or even average album is a pretty good argument for Kanye too

    Yeah fair point. Even though Jay has had some let downs he can easily match the amount of great Kanye projects.

    But I feel his first few albums are far more influential than any Kanye album( except for 808s)

    I feel Kanye is the type of artist people will only recognize after he's gone.

    I listen to much more Kanye than Jay, but Jay is still the better rapper.

    No doubt but that s--- don't matter to me when it's missing a consistent soul/art/message...

    Jay is only talking about his wealth these days.. and even his earlier songs weren't always that creative/deep

    i mean...not really. it's great, but i've derived at least as much joy from jay's work.

    lol pretty sure he's got more than his share of recognition already, and i say that as someone who thinks he's one of the greatest artists of his generation
