I love Jay but it's clear he got his!@!* handed to him in both these songs. People always say that the Em verse is the "guest verse" of all"guest verse's" and I agreed until I heard Rakim on BP2...

Eminem's verse
Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
Now who's these king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
Usin his music to steer it, sharin his views and his merits
But there's a huge interference - they're sayin you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a$+*++#%#%!@#@ drug addict - like you didn't experiment?
Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrased
And I got nothin to do but make you look stupid as parents
You@!#%!@# do-gooders - too bad you couldn't do good at marriage!
(Ha ha!) And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't
think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
Cause here we go - he's {*Jigga joint Jigga-chk-Jigga*}
And I'm the sinister, Mr. Kiss-My-*** it's just the


Rakim's Verse
I'm "Rated R," my brain contains graphics thangs
It turn traumatic teens into addicts, and fiends
It's like, watchin a movie through a panoramic screen
Which means, I can see the whole planet in the scene

Cash is the topic, the object, a fatter pocket
Some take the crack and chop it, but those that haven't got it
take away the added profit, it's catastrophic
I take the gat and %$@% it, and I'll sit back and watch it
These New York streets is ugly, I keep it gully
The world is mine and can't nobody keep it from me
Yo, my neighborhood is never sunny
In the place where the number one cause of death is money
You can try copin
I've seen enough +%%! to leave your frame of mind broken
eek.gif

I'm still alive and scopin
Be another hundred years 'til my skies close in
And I'ma die with my eyes open, the watcher
Who's was better? Why?
 
I'd pick Em from those two verses but Beans has shut it down on a few tracks with Jay.
 
Em's two verses on Renegade is easily one of my favorites of all time so he gets my vote for this one.
 
em's first verse murdered anything Jay said on that track. His flow, the content, the mood, breath control...it all just matched that beat, I need oxygenwhen ever I recite that verse

. That is why em murdered Jay on thetrack. but cot damn that Ra verse is something nasty.

but Jay's verseon the watcher was nasty too.
 
^ that was the realest verse, but not necessarily the best.





and i dont think a lot of people understand how good that Ra verse is (or rakim in general).

I agree.

Although Im a fan of Rakims part, I think I like Jays verse better in TW2. As for Renegade, Nas said it best: "Eminem murdered you on your own sh..."

So yeah, Em..
