Hot Take: Jermaine Dupri is a better rapper than Kanye

[C-Styles]

Was bumping a Life in 1472 and Jermaine is really underrated for his mic presence and his catchy flow. He also writes so that adds points to that as well. A lot of people really be sleepin on Jermaine throughout his career production wise and rapper wise. If anything he should've been as big as Kanye but as a producer developing talent, that's another great thing about him. I'd take a Jermaine vs Kanye Verzuz rather than Puff

 

[GzUp]

Kanye doesn’t know his limitations.

 

[spliz]

He is.

 

[Don Jesus]

Ironically the first track of the album in the OP was produced by a young Kanye West

 

[Artfull Dodger]

Kanye has a better voice, everything else is 50/50

 

[Wacky D]

I ain't listen to jermaine Dupri outside the singles

His album cuts are better.

 

[CaughtInTWebb]

Can't say I agree or disagree just based on I've never listened to Jermaine Dupri outside of his singles....

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Agree. And I’ve probably enjoyed wayyyyyyy more track JD either rapped on or produced.

 

[Chris Cool]

Kanye was never a great rapper, even before people stopped fukking with him.

If another rapper spit his bars, they'd be an average rapper.

False. Kanye has one of the WOAT voices

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I strongly disagree. Kanye writes as well. Both of those dudes are dudes who can write but have had verses written for them. Kanye probably more than JD. But JD had ROC who I assumed was writing for him. And Jay wrote the whole money aint a thang. So both them dudes had writers. But flow wise, I take Kanye for more energy and more witty/funny lyrics, even though they can come off corny a lot ot the times. Also, Kanye for having more depth in his subject matter. JD got negative substance in his music. But both these dudes are tolerated on the mic and not even really a factor enough to be rated anyway
