Kanye West vs. Just Blaze on Jay-z's 2001 classic The Blueprint

[N*E*R*D]

Even though they were not the only producers they gave the album it's overall feel in my opinion. Let's be honest this is Jay's magnum opus. I don't care what anybody says this is his best offering to date with nothing coming close.

Kanye West produced Takeover, Izzo (H.O.V.A.), Heart of the City (Ain't No Love), Never Change, Girls. Girls, Girls pt. 2

Just Blaze produced Girls, Girls, Girls, U Don't Know, Song Cry, Breathe Easy(Lyrical Exercise)

I always liked Kanye more as a producer until recently and was one of the first cats to fukk with him back when he started going solo in 2002 but this shouldnt be close because Just killed every beat he did on the blueprint.

Other than takeover, I typically skip over the ye beats but always replay the tracks just did.

Heart of the City, Izzo and Never Change are the best ones from Ye.

but they not as classic as the 3 songs I mentioned from Just

I usually prefer the more gritty and raw beats like Kanye delivered, but Just was on another level. The lushness and polish of all his beats were

Just beats were harder and more polished. Kanye’s were raw and had soul. Honestly depends on ur mood.

The Black Album was his magnum opus though

Maybe if he never made another album after The Black Album, but The Blueprint is as close to rap perfection in album form as you can get.

 

[Chris Cool]

Kanye easy.

Only ye skippable is bonus track. Girls, girls, girls, and song cry getting skipped.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Takeover and Neva Change are my fave tracs. Ye's shyt was just more raw.

U Dont Know was cold af tho

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Bink.

All I need

 

[Cladyclad]

Ye because he got 1 more song

 

[Dontay Flaco]

I gotta go with Ye off the strength of Neva Change. I love that record.
