    Jay hands down

    I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
    They criticized me for it, yet they all yell "holla"
    If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli
    Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
    But I did 5 mill' – I ain't been rhyming like Common since
    When your cents got that much in common
    And you been hustling since your inception
    f--- perception! Go with what makes sense

    But not only is this distinction super ambiguous, there's also really no point in making it. U dont listen to ye and say ur listening to art lol it's all rap. Rapping is art.

    Idk just tired of hearing kanye (etc) isn't a good rapper but is a great artist. No, kanye is a great rapper because of how good he is at making rap music.

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

    Jay is in my top 5 though

    Tech N9ne isn't technically better than Pac is he? I think he just raps fast. My point is King Los is an amazing rapper but he doesn't make very good music but because of that im not gonna call him a bad rapper. Why do you guys have such an issue with this?

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