^^^^ basically.

Its more to being an emcee than being lyrically competent.

This question is really an insult to Jeezy.

NBA vs/ And 1

Yeah Joe can dribble, but he doesnt play any defense or work within a team system.

Budden can do just about EVERYTHING rap wise better than Jeezy...we talkin bout RAPPING..not all the other shyt...and Budden has a gold album under his belt and plat single so u can just dismiss him as some mixtape rapper...RAP wise...Joe Budden is EASILY better...NO contest...they in different lanes..u would'nt listen to Budden for the same reason u listen to Jeezy..and vice versa..nikkas aint throwin on no damn Jeezy album to hear the next ill bar or crazy shyt he bout to say...they listen to him cause his beats bump...he makes good songs..great production and studio quality...charisma...etc...it's an overall stupid comparison..

Nice analogy. Budden is like "Skip to my Lou" Rafer Alston and Jeezy is like Rajon Rondo. Jeezy got the ability, and has shown, he can win on the big league level. This grown man business.

Yes, we've already established that. Nobody's really arguing with that. Cats,including me, are just saying they'd prefer to listen to Jeezy cause he makes better hip hop music. he's a better MC to a lot of people. MCing is just not about lush lyrical skill. See 2Pac or even ODB.

but Jeezy aint a better MC than Joey either...aint NOBODY checkin for a Jeezy Acapella....most people anyway...listenin to a PAC acapella..shyt is STILL liable to give u chills...listen to a ODB acapella...dude is STILL unique and hilarious...Jeezy is none of those things...that aint his lane or any of that..he's gotten better than he used to be...but his production and shyt is not the same and his old sound basically got jacked and is not as fresh as it used to be..which is why it's hard for him to capture that spark again that people thought he had..and im a fan of Jeezy by the way...

Ehhh....I disagree with you implying there's no redeemable values in a Jeezy acapella. His flow, voice, style, and charisma on certain tracks are :jawalrus:. for instance check this (not really a true acapella, you can hear the instrumental faintly in the background):

You mentioned uniqueness in regards to ODB and that Jeezy verse you described as "compressed ass studio" definitely stands out. Jeezy has a quality when spittin that Joe lacks. Also I never mentioned Jeezy or Pac as "non lyrical". You did. I mentioned Pac because he's the biggest MC that most likely wouldn't be categorized as one of those overly lyrical MC's like Ras Kass, Canibus or the whole Slaughterhouse. My thing with Budden fans is that most of them can't come to grips with the fact that a lot of dudes don't care for his technical abilities or his brand of music. I'm pretty sure most avid hip hop fans would rather listen to Jeezy because he just brings much more to the table than Joey does. Ya'll just gotta learn to deal with it. Jeezy has a catalog full of classic material that's classic not just because of the production only. Jeezy is a better MC than Budden imo

As an MC...the ONLY thing he has over Joey is delivery...and it has nothing to do with me liking Joey better...its just as an MC...Jeezy ain't better than Joey and damn near any aspect....what u feel about his music is a completely diff thing...

Delivery, yes. Better voice? Yep. Charisma and mic presence? Yep. Jeezy got those. I saw both Jeezy and Budden live. Jeezy is a better live performer. Don't sleep on Jeezy MC ability. And again, he just makes more captivating, memorable music, imo.

Jeezy vs Budden is exactly the type of comparison that shows the generation gaps, well designed packaged good vs something with substance. Jeezy isn't even the best in his lane. He does nothing exceptionally well. He can make hits based on that time he came out, but now he's just one of many so that "breath of fresh air" isn't even with him anymore. How does he translate to a new crop of fans?

People listen to Jeezy for entertainment value and beats that bump in the car? Cool, that's what you like then that's what you like. But people listen to Budden for the heartfelt music that you can relate to on another level. He also has that wittiness to his music. Joe Budden's songs will be timeless.
