    been a minute since i heard this but Kanye's Murder To Excellence 2nd verse is the best on the album.

    "It's a war going on outside we ain't safe from
    I feel the pain of my city wherever I go
    314 soldiers died in Iraq,
    509 died in Chicago"
    :mjcry:

    This is the last time Jay was genuinely great, and Kanye was at perhaps his most charismatic. They've got infectious chemistry and are both in fine form for totally different reasons. What a great, strangely underrated album.

    smh @ @Michael Myers having an incorrect tracklist!!

    mchg is not even close to safe. Holy Grail is the only safe song on there. Not every rapper in his 40s can pull off what jay did on mchg and make it sound amazing

    @Michael Myers your tracklist is different from mine bro.

    1. No Church in the Wild - Kanye
    2. Lift Off - Kanye - hardly any Jay
    3. n----s in Paris - Jay
    4. Otis - Kanye
    5. Gotta Have It - Kanye, but this was really close
    6. New Day - Jay, again this was really close
    7. That's My b---- - Kanye
    8. Welcome to the Jungle - Jay; Ye should've had a verse
    9. Who Gon Stop Me - Jay
    10. Murder to Excellence - Kanye on both parts
    11. Made in America - Jay, but another close one
    12. Why I Love You - Jay - hardly any Ye
    13. Illest MFer Alive - Kanye
    14. H·A·M - Jay
    15. Primetime - Kanye
    16. The Joy - Kanye, but he had 2 verses compared to 1 for Jay

    So if we cancel out the tracks where one was more prominent than the other, the tally is
    Kanye - 7
    Jay - 5

    Total
    Kanye - 9
    Jay - 7

    You factor production into it, and I stand by saying Kanye is the main reason WTT is so good.

    Wow so far 2/2 people picked Kanye for Illest alive, crazy..

    I've always been a bigger Jay fan so I preferred him, always felt like he was a better rapper.

    New Day is a tricky one. Kanyes verse is so deep but a couple of Jay's bars are deep too. Kinda equals it out.

    Cause you ain’t even alive, paparazzi pursuin’ ya"

    Will relisten tonight as well. So far the only one I can see I disagree with is Illest MFer Alive, Jay killed that
