Who Spit It Better?

Jay-Z vs. Cormega

by Thomas September 7, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Jay-Z and Cormega both rhyme over Stanley Clarke’s “I Got To Find My Own Place.” Cormega has always been on of my favorite artist. I’ve praised his lyrical skills before on this site (here & here). Everyone should know my thought’s on Jay!?! Cormega and Jay-Z go in different directions as far as subject matter [...]

Raekwon vs Jadakiss vs Styles P

by Thomas September 6, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

Another Who Spit featuring The Chef. Another song featured on OB4CLII. Rae, Jada, Styles P, and other spit over Margie Joseph’s “Stop In The Name of Love” from her 1971 album. Jada’s joint was from his debut album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye and featured a gang of people. I was only feeling Jada and Styles [...]

Jay-Z vs. Canibus

by Thomas September 5, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

In 1998 Jay-Z was just hitting his stride and finally reached that commercial success I believe he was looking for. From 1997-1998 Canibus was touted as the NEXT coming emcee. Everything he touched was gold from the features to his mixtape verses. Everyone was open. That was until Can-I-Bus [Download id not defined] dropped. The album was [...]

Raekwon vs Memphis Bleek

by Thomas September 5, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

The Roc vs. Wu-Tang! “The heir to the Throne” up against the originator of the Purple Tape. Easy one….Bleek is a lightweight going up against a heavy hitter. Rae>Bleek. Who you got?

Jay-Z vs. Lloyd Banks

by Thomas September 4, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

From 2002-2004 Lloyd Banks aka The Boy Wonder was considered one New York’s and arguably Hip-Hop’s brightest star. He was killing every verse he touched from mixtapes to guest appearances. Today Jay goes up against Lloyd Banks and his song “Southside Story” from his 2004 album Hunger For More. As much as I like Bank’s [...]

Jay-Z vs. Fat Joe vs. Jim Jones

by Thomas September 3, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Fat Joe and Jim Jones are the challengers today in Day 3 of Who Spit It Better…Jay-Z edition? All three rhyme over Yvonne Fair’s “Let Your Hair Down” from her 1975 album The Bitch Is Black. Each track uses the same part of the sample, but does that mean Fat Joe’s “Bad, Bad Man” or [...]

Raekwon vs Blu

by Thomas September 3, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

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. I got the Clansman on this one. Who you got?

Raekwon vs O.C.

by Thomas September 2, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

As much as I’m a Jay-Z fan I stan for the Wu as well. We have been planning Jay-Z week for over a year and lets be honest who really thought Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II would see the light of day? With that said we haven’t forgotten about Rae. We’ll have some goodies [...]

Jay-Z vs. Nas

by Thomas September 2, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Day two of Jay-Z’s Who Spit It Better? Jay and Nas are two of the best rappers of all time (too many) and considered Hip-Hop legends. Everyone knows about their historic battle [The Genesis of Beef] and the details behind the beef. In 2006 they made history when Jay-Z signed Nas to Def Jam. Fans [...]

Jay-Z vs. Prodigy

by Thomas September 1, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

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 [...]

J. Rocwell vs. Papoose vs. Wale

by Carsten August 18, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

Looks like American rappers love British girls, huh? At least they like to jump on the European radio hit “That’s Not My Name” by UK’s pop duo The Ting Tings. While Wale got paid to lay his verses on the official Skeet & Tito Remix, Papoose and newcomer J. Rocwell added their verses to the [...]

Royce Da 5’9″ vs. Beanie Sigel

by Thomas August 11, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

From late 1998 to early 2000 Beans was that dude. Every joint he touched was fire….”1000 Bars,” “Adrenaline,” “Reservoir Dogs,” etc. His 2000 debut album The Truth [Download id not defined] was no exception with cuts like “The Truth,” “Raw & Uncut,” and “Die.” Right now who is hotter than Royce Da 5’9″ and his Slaughterhouse crew? [...]

50 Cent vs. Black Milk

by Thomas July 31, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

It’s been a week or so since we posted a Who Spit….. Black Milk is one of the industry’s top producers [Tronic review & The Preface review] and isn’t too bad on the mic. 50 Cent is one of the power brokers in Hip-Hop…..everybody knows his story….right? Both 50 and Black spit over The Persuaders [...]

Jay Electronica vs. DOOM

by Thomas July 18, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

Another edition of Who Spit It Better? Jay Electronica [read interview] is one of my favorite artist right now. His word play and the depth of his rhymes have me eagerly anticipating his solo debut. DOOM, the masked villain is an underground cult hero to many for his lyricism and humor on the mic. Peep [...]

Joe Budden vs. Maino

by Thomas July 3, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

I was “previewing” Maino’s album If Tomorrow Comes… last week and thought his song “Runaway Slave” produced by Versatile & Dilemma sounded familiar. When I read XXL’s review of Maino’s album they pointed out the beat is exactly identical to Joe Budden’s “Pray For Me” off his Padded Room album. Both tracks were produced by [...]

Prodigy vs Skillz vs Rick Ross

by Thomas May 21, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

When I first heard Rick Ross’s “Magnificent” I immediately recognized the sample. The first artist/song that came to mind was Skillz’s song “Imagine.” Then Keenan reminded me in the C-Box that Prodigy used the same sample for a song on his H.N.I.C. album. Three different topics discussed by each rapper…the Bawse’s song is more [...]

Noreaga (CNN) vs Jadakiss

by Thomas April 27, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

Both Jadakiss and Noreaga spit over Luther Vandross’s “Promise Me”. Both tracks have a similar feel and vibe…so tell me whatcha think? Who Spit It Better?

Busta Rhymes vs. Raekwon vs. Talib Kweli

by Kevin April 17, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

A while back, Busta Rhymes and Raekwon hopped on Melanie Fiona‘s single “Give It To Me Right” for an unofficial remix. A couple of weeks again, Talib Kweli stepped up for the official remix of the same song. They all did the track justice, in my opinion. But who had the best verse? Who spit [...]

Royce Da 5’9″ vs The Game

by Thomas January 27, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

Our last Who Spit It Better for today. Royce spits over The Game’s “Dope Boys” off of his LAX album.

Royce Da 5’9″ vs T.I.

by Thomas January 27, 2009 Who Spit It Better?

We haven’t done one of these in a while! My man Deez named Royce Da 5’9″ the Top Emcee of 2008. It was only natural to bring back Who Spit it Better to showcase some of his work.
