    Forever was much more anthemic, Em at the end brought a whole different energy that elevated the song almost more than what Swagga felt.

    Yet I'd still say Yay, since Swagga Like Us felt much more consistent with everyone's verses.

    Forever is more iconic to me. Jay dissing skinny jeans the same era he also dissed autotune made him come across very “get off my lawn” like. Pregnant MIA performing Swagga at the Grammys is legendary though. This is a wash. Both songs are cool for what they are.

    Really don’t like any of the verses on Forever. The idea of Em leaving his bubble and jumping on a song with Ye and Wayne was exciting at the time, and both him and Wayne had cool deliveries, but I wouldn’t call either of them good verses

    there is maybe one good verse between those two songs and it's wayne on forever. eminem on forever is probably eighth out of eight.

    Hmmm this is again very close, I will go with Nay this time. Personally I enjoy Forever more but Swagger like us was my jam back in the day.

    yay

    i'm not a big fan of either song, but i like swagga like us more even though it has an annoying hook. these songs are mostly cool because of all the well known, big name rappers that are on each song. but neither song is anything special IMO. but i think swagga was done a little bit better, so i'll give the edge to that

    Nay, fam.
    Forever > Swagger

    ye's verse is better on forever
    wayne's verse is way better on forever
    eminem verse > jay's (+ t.i's if comparing) = forever
    t.i.'s verse > drake's = swagger
    hook = swagger

    3:2 = forever

    Yay for swagga like us. Everything was more cohesive on that. Wayne and Em were dope on Forever, but I felt like they shoulda had longer verses. I feel like restraining them to 8s or 16s is holding them back. But Forever just doesnt mesh well to me. Ye was also pretty bad on both of those features IMO. Wayne was better on Forever than he was swagga like us, Jay and T.I took it for me.
