We can start at the music....catalog for catalog 40's work speaks louder

So in your opinion....

Hurricane >>>>Heart Of The City
Sprinkle Me >>>>Can I Live
Captain Save A Hoe >>>99 Problems
Tell Me When To Go >>>>>>Empire State Of Mind
Hurricane >>>>>Ain't No nikka

Are you REALLLY trying to sit here and convince the internets that 40 is bigger then Hov?....

How many has Rakim had? Is he no more less of a legend?


LOL. Why is Rakim being brought into this? We're talking about E40 and Jay Z and your claim that e40's music speaks louder then Jay Z's. Stay on topic. Rakim has nothing to do with your claim that E40's music speaks louder then Jay z's.

It's the internet. The home to ridiculous opinions and idiots who believe they actually matter. You think that on the overall scale of hip-hop ANYONE is seriously comparing E-40 and Jay-Z? Who in their right mind believes E-40 is on a higher level than Jay-Z?

Jay-Z is garbage now but still sold a Mil off his last album, not including the #newrules.
Jay-Z does concerts in Madison Square Garden. I live in a town of 60,000 people and E-40 did a concert here not to long ago here. At our local fair.

:pachaha:

I was responding to your claim that E40's music spoke louder then Jay Z's. If E40's was louder then my question is 'what major hits where on MTV/BET to back your claim?' Rakim is a bad example because during his prime(86-92) his music didnt have the same platforms as E40 and Jay Z'S during their prime.

It's plenty of legends who don't get mainstream airplay. Album for album is more of a opinion than anything. Album for album it's more opinion than anything and out here 40 music >> Jay's

So it's YOUR opinion :ohhh:

Well ok then..u could have just said that. If you believe that E-40 is bigger then a dude who can STILL sell millions of records at 42. Who has more hit records then Elvis AND The Beatles. Who is a household name. Helped :obama: get into office. Performed in music festivals, stadiums. Has arguably the most classic music catalogue in hip-hop. Became President of Def Jam, who can single handily sell out ARENAS all over the world among other EPIC things.

Then yeah keep thinking 40 is better..:pachaha:

Oh yeah...and if 40's music is better out here in the Bay..how come y'all didn't go out and buy his album(s) when they dropped last week? :youngsabo:

It's hard to debate anythi due to money .

I believe that jay success is due to Pac and big death. Net York was hurt by big death and forced jay z down our ears thru radio. He instantly became the "king". On top of that his hits are either juatblaze kanue or pharrel .rick Ruben And if its not a top producer then he has a feature of the hottest artist , eminem,kanye,Alicia keys, beyonce ,bunpimpc, jt, drake,etc. Is jay z music authentic or just mainstrwm excellence ? Does his music have a pure NYC sound ?
Do NYC generations been raisd off him ?

As for e_40 . His authentic , raised California (allraces) for two generations and currently on his third. Did it all organically minus lil Jon fukking with him tuff.

I don't know what the poster truley ment . But I can talk for majority of west coast . E40>jay. And that three generations .
