AR-AB and Dark Lo: In His Prime, Beanie Sigel was Better Than Jay Z

[spliz]

Beans was a fukkin beast. But theres only a handful of emcees fukkin wit PRIME Hov. And Beans ain't one of em.

 

[spliz]

I think y’all confusing arguably having the better verse on a few songs with being a better emcee

nikkas always do that shyt. Lol

ha jigga could get a statue in phila*

I have no idea what they ingested before they made those comments.

 

[DontEemTry]

A lot of people can claim that and make a good case for it, but what they can't claim is Jays consistency.

That nikka been rhyming at an elite level for decades. fukk a peak if it means your best days are behind you.

Y'all wylin out in here. Specific examples of Beans being close to Jay's level as a mc?

He hung with him on every track they did together.

But I think that's the problem with these type of comparisons.

The truth is put up Beans best 20 verses up against Hov best 20 verses and Jay wins easy.

 

[Evil Grandson]

Like...on tracks together beans would outrap him, but hov always had better songs and bars overall when beams had his run. Beans dont got sht like lyrical exercise allure threat dynasty intro etc. Another thing is Hov was also good at being an elite rapper while making high quality music. Beans best shyt is the truth and that shyt would be like hov's 5th best album

 

[Take It In Blood]

theres nothing like it

 

[SunZoo]

Nah but the separation between them wasn't very wide.

 

[ajnapoleon]

real spit. but why not atleast give beans a verse?

i always felt like Hov saw beans’ tru potential and subtly hindered him from becoming as big as he could’ve. of coarse hov did put him in position to make millions,,but only if it made hov more millions in the process.

clearly beans’ drug addiction and legal troubles hindered him more but that’s just my take on shyt.

Never understood why people would want a person that built himself up with hard work and dedication


Only to move completely out the way for someone else to shine


Like move out to way stop doing what you love and worked hard for


So someone else to to take your spot


Nah I will help but I'm not giving you the platform I made for myself


You got the ally go dunk it


But I'm still gonna play



Can you imagine beans with Jay dedication?





Says it all in this song


I didn't like it too much because of the hook but it makes sense

 

[iamduval]

Beans could hold his own with jay but as far as pure technical ability? Nah


And ofcourse we all know Hov made better music

blueprint and black album are better than any of beans albums and i hold beans albums in high regard

What is true is that Jay-z is the gold standard. Anytime anyone wants to call someone a goat, they start by saying he’s better than Jay-z. Or he’s the Jay-z is Philly, Jay-z of the south. Synonymous with goat, like Bill Gates is synonymous with billionaire.

As far as the topic goes, Beans could go bar for bar with anyone, but he could not craft enough songs like goats or an album like a goat. The Jadakiss syndrome.
