Short break from Jay for a moment. Rae vs Blu? The vet against the newcomer? Blu’s track is on some personal/introspective ish. Rae is in the pit on his punch you in the face steez.

wow cmon now rae got that 1
Blu all the way
tough decision but i’m with blu
yall shoulda put ghostface up against rae.. he used this sample on fishscale..for that song shakey dog i think … imma go with BLU tho , but rae did kill it too
Blu!
smh @ blu leading this vote by as much as he is. Rae >>>>
Raekwon is dope but Blu just came way better, verse for verse.
@ Danimal
I thought of putting Rae against Ghost, but they have a similar style. Thought the contrast in Rae and Blu would be a better match up.
I voted Rae. Surprised by the votes so overwhelmingly in Blu’s favor.
Blu not only out raps Rae, but Exile’s production work slaughters Mizza. The lead off track off Blu’s legendary debut…hard to beat.
I got Blu. 10th bar TKO. The way him and Ex incorporated the sample to blend with the rhymes was beyond crazy.
THE BATTLE WLDV BEEN CRAZIER W/ A STRONGR BLU TRAK. THE HOMEY GOT SM BANGAS. THAT ALBM A BARELY SLEPD ON CLASIK. THE HOMEY RAE 1 OF THE TOP 5 LYRICIST THO TOO. THE HOMEY NEVR FELL OFF. “CONNECT THOUGHTS THAT MAKE MY MAN’S CHILD WALK”
Chase Valentine : “Blu not only out raps Rae, but Exile’s production work slaughters Mizza.”
Exactly what I was thinking, no knock to Rae but Blu beasts on this IMO. That youtube version sounds so awkward to me, I’m used to hearing the “Bluuuuuuu” intro with the chick singing (probably a sample).
Blu >>>
It’s honestly hard to top Blu when his lyricism is so strong. Not only that though, his flow is definately one of the sharpest & most on point.
