Who Spit It Better is back this week as the Jay-Z edition. Everyday until the release of The Blueprint 3 we will be showcasing Jay in the feature against another rapper who has rhymed over the same sample and/or rhymed alongside him on a track. We have some good match ups this week.
Up first is Jay-Z against Prodigy. The vets both spit over Rudy Love’s “Does Your Mama Know.” “Sweet” comes from Jay’s American Gangster album and P’s “What A Real Mobb Do” comes from a mixtape. The mixtape in question was a prequel of sorts to Prodigy and ALC’s The Return of the Mac album. If I’m not mistaken the instrumental for P’s track was released on The Rapper’s Best Friend series by ALC.
I’m a huge fan of P, but his rhymes are extremely lazy on this one and Jay is flowing smoothly on this one.
Jay > P.

2 people actually voted for p?
beat also better for jay
I’m shocked that soem votes actually went in P’s favor, y’all must be some true Prodigy stans, because aint no way in hell I’m choosing P over Jay… Don’t get me wrong, I have respect for P, P does his thing, stays in his lane, but to compare him to JAY-Z?? Verse for verse?? NO CONTEST,lol… Hov has this one, and many others as well..
Now 4 people voted P. Jay for me. Actually It’ll be Jay most of the week for me during this feature. Some surprises tho.!
lyrically j is better but overall P made a better song to bump the prof is a click away!!!!!
i voted p
jay is trash imo yeah hes a mogul and earlier in his career dropped classic songs
but now hes wack
and its not cuz of his age its just cuz hes so mainstream
and sweet was my least favorite song on AG
Jiggaman got this one handz down & drinks up !!!
