Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than Jay Z
Kanye has been through more controversy than Jay...is a bigger pop star...a fashion icon...has brought out more artists..and has remained at the forefront of hip hop since his first album..
no real beefs like jay has had tho...
Jays smashed some of the greats in hip hop to smithereens tho..
well?
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Kanye still idolizes Jay
he ain't more powerfull, but musically inspiration to people I would say yes
the downfall is Kanye don't write alot of his stuff
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
so?...Eminem still idolizes Dre like theres no tomorrow..
and Eminem IS more powerful and influential than Dre is
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Well, yeah, i get what youre saying. I think both had influence in the Hiphop world. Its just that Jay-Z is almost at his end of his career, while Kanye is still rising. I respect both of them and I like both of them.They both did their part in the world and thats good
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Dr. Dre STILL remains the powerful dude out here
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
well of course i mean everyone hes ever produced for Em,2Pac,Snoop the dudes a living legned but i see him going out when Em goes out...Which is soon but as for Jay n kanye..ehh i dont care for both but Jay is more inspirational personally for me being that im from where he is but iv never liked kanye never thought he was any good hes no rapper hes a pop star
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
mr.dubios are aware the extent of which wiggas love em?
anyway i say musically he's more influential, and has cross boundaries, and done fairly well after crossing over said boundaries. and it's into shit jay hasn't done musically merely because he's just a rapper.
but overall every rapper, ye included want that jay i could retire anyday now money, and success.
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
the katrina/bush comment wasn't about music..
jay has never been apart of something so controversial..
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
i think at this point in jay's career, kanye is the more influential, especially in production.
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
id say it depends on the person viewing the situation and which part of rap music your speaking of...
if its the mtv pop star aspect, then yes...
but if your talking the talent of a rapper, then id say no...
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Meh they're both pretty big but I wonder how big the buzz will be around jays camp after j Coles new album has dropped

the obvious answer would be Kanye then....pop music itself is larger than rap listeners....makes it to where no matter what genre it originates from, it can leak into any genre of listeners playlists....ive heard Kanye playing on rock stations, but never have heard Jay-Z doing such...
while everyone knows who Jay-Z is, and he was a huge part of pop culture, i think that Kanye has acquired fans where Jay-Z couldnt....he also just comes off as more of a pop figure than Jay does....
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Kanye will never be as big bcuz of his attitude. Like every 1 owes him something. Jay Never smashed Nas
Re: Is Kanye West more powerful/influential than J
Jayz is my favorite rapper
But Kanye is the better dresser hands down
You would think with hundreds of millions Jay would know how to dress.
