    Technicaly ability is meaningless, he was a significantly better writer than Em. He crossed over into territory that Em is still struggling with today. Big could drop tracks like Mo Money Mo Problems or Hypnotize without ever sacrificing his sound and put them next to tracks like n----s Bleed and Long Kiss Goodnight without ever sounding out of place.

    Em? Lol ok you're arguing that big doesn't have enough work when Em has three "classics" (for sake of argument, TES is trash) and four terrible albums. Big has one album and a double album (basically the same amount of "good" content Eminem has) and they're both better than anything em has put out.

    Calling some BS

    I like Jay as much as the next guy but considering they aren't too different from eachother stylistically, BIG was better than Jay at almost every single facet of hip hop
