Interview With DJ Clark Kent Pt. 4 - Emceeing and the JayZ/Biggie Debate

Part 4 is all about emceeing and who does it best. Superman fleshes out his rationale behind tabbing Jay-Z as the No. 1 emcee and Biggie as the No. 1 rapper, the difference between emceeing and rapping, where Eminem and Andre 3000 fit in, and why everyone nowadays thinks they can rap.

@smiley93rd It's all opinions and I respect yours. Personally Nas is my G.O.A.T. but I respect anyone who says Pac, or Big, or Jay, or Em, or Rakim, or KRS One, or LL, or Pun, or Big L, or Scarface, or Andre 3k, etc... and I've heard arguments for all of them. It's all about one's tastes. If one is a good debator and can make valid points, they can make a case for any of them cats based on different reasons.

@Antrizzle2009 yeah i feel u but my point from the jump was that dj clark kent dick rides jay z and biggie so much he said that jay z and biggie are 1 and two in the catergories and mc and rappers i diasgree i think that biggie was a better mc than jay z but eminem is the greatest LYRICIST EVER i dont think there anyone who has ever lived that can out rap em but i think 2pac is the best overall has the best delivery,best hooks,and most versatile ut i do admit he's not a top 5 all time LYRICIST

[Antrizzle2009]

@smiley93rd I was actually thinking about that song after you brought it up. That's one of the few songs I think you see Pac do the multi's. Actually one of my favorite Pac songs. Not sure if Got My Mind Made Up is a good example. He does decent on that one, but then you hear guys like Kurupt, Method Man, and Redman come right after him rippin it up and its like yea ummm Pac did good but damn.

@Antrizzle2009 they say pussy and paper is poetry,power,and pistols,plottin on murderin muthafuckas fo they get u,picturin pitiful,punk niggas coppin pleas,puffin weed as i position myself to clock g's,my enemies scatter in suicidal situations,never the witness to wicked shit that they was facin,pockets is packed wit presidents pursue your riches,evadin the players hatin tricks,while hittin switches-2pac If I Die Tonite

[Antrizzle2009]

@smiley93rd I've heard all of those and none of them are mindblowing lyrically. They're all good don't get me wrong, but Pac doesn't say something that makes you say "oh shit". He's pretty straight forward in his rhymes, no double entendres, multi-syllable rhyme schemes, metaphors etc... think of someone like a Canibus or Ras Kass and their level of lyricism for example.

[smiley93rd]

@Antrizzle2009 how u figure dat...pac only got lyrical when it was neccersary when he felt like it he was a great lyricist listen to cant ce...if i die tonight ......holla at me...tradin war stories...got my mind made up

[Antrizzle2009]

@smiley93rd Pac was a great rapper, but not a great emcee or lyricist. He spit stuff with emotion and feeling, but he never spit punchlines and metaphors that made you say 'OH SHIT! Fuck did he just say?'

@iagelikewine yh what the FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PEOPLE??, DO THEY KNOW WHAT LYRICISTTTTTTT MEANS???. fucking debate

[J8Lacy]

out of curiosity i wonder where he would put my boys Jada and Styles P. at...which category?....if you ask me they are great MC's, but have troubles in the rap field like a lot of people do as Clark said...

[J8Lacy]

i feel him on the whole MC and Rapper thing...but I beg to differ about his thoughts on Jay-Z even tho Hov is nasty...
