Jay-Z

We’ve been having very heated discussions here in the DrJays.com office over the best rapper alive.

Our college-aged interns are convinced it’s Lil Wayne, whereas those of us in our twenties say that’s blasphemy and Jay-Z is the man.

We want you guys to join in on the debate and let us know who you think it is?

    T.I. is the best rapper alive.

  2. Jon Kim Says:

    Lil Wayne if the best.

  3. Franklin Says:

    Game is the best rapper in the world. & so is eminem

  4. baffour sekyere Says:

    am feelin Lloyd banks and also the game

  5. Kevin Says:

    I know Jay-z and Nas are the best rappers alive ,and I’m a young dude.

  6. BJ Says:

    Yall str8 silly. Gucci Mane on top of the game right now **** what you heard. And my man Fabo about to take over this **** real soon 2.

  7. 2Tall Says:

    I’m 21, I’ve been listenin to Jigga since he had the fast flow in that video with the hawaiian lookin shirt. On the flipside i’ve been a weezy fan since him and BG were a group (the B.G.’s) So with that being said, Jigga’s first 5 solo albums (since weezy hasn’t released his sixth) I would say Jay’s got him. Vol. 1-3 were classics, Tha Block is Hot, Lights Out were street bangers but Weezy wasnt ready to carry the label on his back when everyone left (500 Degreez??) But Jay came in the game already mature, Weezy grew up listenin to Jay just like the rest of us. Weezy has just hit his prime during the sqad tapes and The Carter I and II. To say Jay is the best rapper alive is arguable, as a weezy fan i am biased. But i will say weezy is well on his way to being remembered well beyond Jay-Z. Weezy is to the south what Biggie was/is to the East. Jay is to the East what Master P was/is to the South.

  8. Jbeezy Says:

    2Pac! may be dead but he sure has released a lot of albums after that Vegas night keeping it alive. E40, Andre Nickatina (Dre Dog), B-Legit, all good. If you ask me Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Lil Wayne and all those south side rappers are part of hip hops fall. Soon as the song Get Low came out, sounds went all down hill!

  9. Jbeezy Says:

    Don’t forget eminem and Too Short too. Too Short been kicking albums off since the 80’s and is still releasing. Plus how many heads has he rapped with on others albums.

    Jay - Z is the best rapper ever hes done what none other has including pac and biggie…not saying hes better but hes been the man for longer than any other rapper has in there careers…imma weezy fan to the fullest but i no alot of lines and quotes of weezy saying jay is better…”the hottest carter next to shawn, i give my highest respects to homey, whats good HOV baby holla at ur homey”…oh yeah and dont forget “the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired” enough said.

  19. Truff Says:

    Nas is the best rapper alive but he’s lazy as hell so no one even thinks about him, becuz u rarely see him. but he does has the best music catalogue out of any rapper alive and dead jus off his unreleased stuff alone, Nas is the best alive even though his last album was subpar but not as bad as kingdome come.
    truff

  28. youngmanfromslovakia Says:

    i think there´s no best rapper alive,because every rapper have own style,but one of the best is for example NAS,Jigga or The Game too…

  29. nerdiangrey Says:

    the best rapper with out the elders such as krs rakim and kain has got to be from the underground yes it is a amazing thing that jay-z dose not put his down on paper but pound for pound word smiths would have to be and under ground cat the list is endless but the first few that think of is vinni paz of the jmt,heltahskeltah of the boot camp,mr.lif,last emp,c rayz walz,tame one even most of canibus stuff is sick i miss the days of layen in front of a boom box hitten stop-rewind-play till each line was understood and thats just a few iv named there is and army of more underground cats that are just verble shoguns but they get no credit cause they dont bounce with it nas was half on when he said hiphop was dead but if thats the case it will rise agen from the underground and when that day comes the radio will never sound the same

  30. PrettyPrincess Says:

    i think Wayne is the best rapper alive….but yall sleep on Bump J that boy reppin Chi-town 2 da full (Chi-town L-TOWN ALL DAY)

  31. cee Says:

    My vote would be for Mr. Scarface or KRS-One. How many rappers want to collaborate with those guys? Just about everyone.

  32. J. Fuego Says:

    I think T.I. is the BEST rapper alive!!!!!!!! Point-Blank, Period. Dude has some deep lyrics and he has a swag’a that many rappers these days are trying to immulate but he possesses it naturally!!!!!!!!!! Hand’s Down T.I. it #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. bham205 Says:

    lil wayne is the greatest rapper alive ladies and gentalmen i mean yall need 2 stop hatin on that dude and he should have won hip hop artist of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lil wayne #1

  34. junior c. Says:

    I Would have to go with VINNIE PAZ (JEDI MIND TRICKS) Check him out!

  35. HootieHoo Says:

    Nobody can top TUPAC

  36. Deemo Says:

    To ALL THE YOUNG MASSES!!!

    JIGGA MAN IS THE BOSS, CHAIRMAN, REIGNING CEO. LIL WAYNE STUDIED HIS FLOW and HE IS NICE BUT JIGGA MAN, ICEBERG SLIM, HOV HOLDS THE CROWN..

    EMBRACE IT.

  37. steve Says:

    lil wayne is gay he still kisses his daddy and jayz s ass should be still appy hes alive i would put BANKS 50 AND BUCK BUCK THE WOULD AND **** U HATERS

  38. Daneger Says:

    Real talk, the younger generation needs to pay attention to wat went before them. Weezy is not half the **** he claims to be, didnt u see how dat **** acted on the stage he is a boy wit a cold flow. But on some real **** u dont give a man props, say he is the best alive then turn around couple years later to say naw im da best. Jigga lived through his time as da best and still is. Weezy is straight, crazy flow, but he learned from the best.

  39. 2sin4_lyfe Says:

    I JUST CROWNED MYSELF THA DAMN KING!!!!!! Nah, forreal. Its a touchy subject, I personally bow down to Notorious BIG, Big Pun, and Tupac. Though many criticize my opinion because they weren’t long lived in the game. Jay Z has been in the game for a minute but I feel Jay Z can be KING sometimes and then he does the usual and puts out a weak as track here and there. I have yet to hear a track that BIGGIE falls off..

  40. batonrouge225 Says:

    no lil boosie is da best so all yall bow down and take a seat cuz baton rouge cummin duces!!!

  41. Jimmy Dean Says:

    B****, Lil Wayne is tha best rapper in tha present, past and tha F***** future, if u think other wise, come see me at 2342 F U Drive, in New Orleans, Louisana. Yall need 2 listen 2 his music cause he kill it on every track. He has tha best punch lines in tha game. Who da F*** is Jay-Z. Who da F*** is Lil Boosie. F*** all dem legends 2, cause they wack. Yall know who um talkin bout(2pac, Biggie, Kool Mo Dee, KRS-1,LL Cool J, everybody!!! Holla at me trick ***s

  42. “Best Rapper Alive” audio - Royce Da 5′9″ | Detroit Hip Hop Says:

    [...] return has only poured more fuel on the fire (as seen here and here and damn near every other hip hop [...]

  43. T money Says:

    TOO many mutha****as is sleepin on lil wayne yea jay z is great but he is off the throne and lil wayne is on it

  44. Darryl Durr Says:

    lil wayne is the best rapper alive but jay-z is sick to they both should man up and make hit records together

  45. real Says:

    I gotta agree with ice lord the new era is serious

  46. aw shit Says:

    tip and lil wayne r da best rappers alive. THEY takin ova.

  47. Chance Says:

    Cassidy, Serius jones, Papoose, Loaded Lux are the best rappers

  48. GI Finest Says:

    Jay Z took the crown wit Blueprint and aint gave it back since. All these young rappers wit flow(Wayne,T.I.,Fabolous,Anybody else who mainstream)got it from Jay. Jay is “grown-man BI” and he changed the whole sound of music from Vol.1 on down.

  49. GI Finest Says:

    Wayne just punhline heavy without the real talk that all the greats got. I guess if u aint lived that life though then ….”couldn’t talk about it if u anit live it”

  50. jdleo Says:

    papoose is the best rapper alive.

  51. ben Says:

    papoose by far the best rapper.

    alphabetical slaughter.

    just wait for him to get big

  52. bed stuy bully Says:

    papoose is the worst rapper alive no one wacker hands down,only slow people like him they think hes smart

  53. Gata Says:

    Weezy earned it officially with Carter, then he just capitalized. maybe its the dreads…..

  54. i sWeAr I g0 duMb! Says:

    lil wayne iz

    im sorry, but did that n***a BJ say “Gucci Mane”? hahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaha i laugh at you n***a that was the dumbest thing i ever heard

  55. Miragio Says:

    Y’all ****s are delusional. I listen to everything. Not ‘hear’, listen. Not bop my head to the beat; listen. Not check to make sure what someone is saying on a track rhymes - LISTEN. And no one out there is better than Jay-Z.

    **** swag, **** money, **** location, **** everything that isn’t talent and skill. Nobody’s touchin’ S-dot.

  56. kee kee Says:

    I KNOW AND FEEL THAT LIL WAYNE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE KNOW THAT

  57. riley Says:

    weezy..

  58. King Nicky Says:

    As usual the west coast is neglected. Tupac is by far the greatest rapper ever. No one can even touch him. Then it’s Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina. But you’ll never hear their **** on the radio cuz they’d rather play **** ass songs by T-Pain. And unless you’re from the bay, you probly got no idea what I’m talkin bout.

    Just to put it in perspective. You probably know of Too Short and E-40. 2 great rappers from the Bay. And no disrespect, but they can’t touch Da Mac or King Nicky.

  60. lilshawty8 Says:

    lil wayne da best he got it all an i hate jay z he weak… an lame….to me an he Old an lil wayne da best

  61. l.s Says:

    MAC MUTHA F***IN DRE NO DOUBT BEST LYRICST EVER

  62. mame Says:

    AND THE BEST RAPPER GOES TO …. SNOOP,

  63. stuart Says:

    jay-z is the best rapper to ever live……..period

  64. regulate Says:

    2 PAC IS DA BEST RAPPER EVER…..BUT LIL WAYNE IS DA BEST RAPPER ALIVE….YA DIGG

  65. Fresh Says:

    Jay Z is the best rapper alive point blank period
    Lil Wayne sucks in my opinion.

  66. lil wayne sucks Says:

    lil wayne really sucks. best alive, probably nas, rakim, KRS1.

    best right now is either lupe fiasco or immortal technique. im sorry but i would love to see immortal technique make lil wayne **** in his pants over some **** that he cant understand

  67. M-I-C-H-E-L-A Says:

    I bet all the fools hating on lil wayne from the East Coast. Lmao New Yorkers hate Weezy! They hate anyone from the south. When talking about hip hop, they be quick to bring up Jayz or Biggie. Real ****…Biggie only gets credit because he died. If he was still around, ppl wouldn’t be on his dick as much as they are now. That’s just being honest. The best rapper alive hands down is Andree 3000. He’s the sickest fool out there man and I don’t care if he’s from MARS! Stop being region haters. lame ****s.

  68. austinclickclick Says:

    i think everybody is entitle to their own opinion. from the things are judge,i think has to do with ur past - present - and the future.and not just the present bcos the present is just 24hrs.so, that means ”weezy” is more of the present and hopefully will still be there in the future(though he is very promising and gifted,its a fact).but JAY ,he is been very relevant in the past and in the present he is still strong and he still looks like his not at all tired.that means he can still be very relivant in the future.remeber this he came up by himself,saying ”i came,i saw,i conquer”.he is a living legend.like we say in my county,he is ”BABA WON”.MEANING HE IS THEIR FATHER.i love weezy no doubt he is tight.but let’s still live the crown where it is.JAY is older and can still rap well. but weezy is still young and fresh(he has a lot to still do).JAY is a legend no doubt cos he took a very post after BIG SAMLL and he did well.JJJJJJJJJAY-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ IS ”BABA WON”. TAKE IT

  73. craig Says:

    okey, everyone knows BIGGIE is the best of all time,but all those people saying lil wayne and twista and **** are so wrong, it takes more than two tight songs to be the gretest, jay-z is tight and all, but for my money, its andre nickatina, DRE DOG, KING NICKY, NICKY T, goes by many names, but you cant find one song of his that isnt tight ass ****, and dont blame him for equipto ruining his songs, if your not from the west coast or the bay and dont now dre, then you best check him out

  74. moward Says:

    i aint seen nobody put down Wu-Tang, Jurassic 5, Gangstarr. Method Man of the Wu just doggs on everybody. Those dudes are the type of people where you listen to it, sit back, take a deep breath and actually soak in and think about what they are sayin. I do give props to Weezy and jigga, i just don’t think weezy’s metaphors will take him all the way to the top. He’s got some sick flow fo sho though. Busta needs to be thrown in there. This is an argument that will never be solved though cuz there is so many different styles and comparisons to be made. They all some sick poets though

  75. moward Says:

    i do agree with immortal technique being brought up earlier. that dude comes with **** dudes wouldn’t even be able to comprehend

  76. mike Says:

Im from st. louis and there is alot of wayne heads up here i aint go lie i use to be one but den wayne juss started to get boarin with his ****. i luv all his old musik from his old albums. But i think 2pac is the best because he was talkin about some real shyt him and biggie was. But the realist ****s alive out here is webbie boosie matterfact the whole trill fam and jeezy. Jeezy my favorite rapper because i like the way he flows and he on some real shyte even thought he say the same shyte over and over and always be talkin bout food that still my guy no matter what wayne hard tho but he juss changed alot but 2pac and biggie is the best rapper alive

    LIVING LEGENDS
    CUNNINLYNGUISTS
    COPYWRITE

    ok some of u people are so incredibly wrong. i feel bad for the people who say lil boosie and lloyd banks are the best rappers alive. its truely pathetic and embarrassing. what the **** would make someone say that. cmon smarten up. honestly

    lil wayne, jay-z, @ nas no question no doubt no reason to argue

  98. watswrongwitchu Says:

    wow ezaspie was sooooooooooo right. some rapper named on this are just so bad i wana rip my ears of my goddamn head. lil boosie lloyd banks and some of these other god awful rappers sont deserve to be mentioned in these conversations. im fu$%in pissed off that some people are so greatly reatarted. pleaz

    hova
    weezy y even debate
    nas

  99. Andreaus Robinson Says:

    The question is not who is your favorite rapper, its who is the best rapper. This includes style, creativity, lyrics, versatility

    Jay Z is good as hell, but when it comes to all the qualities of a good rapper, i’m sorry but waynes got the most, he can remix almost any song and keep the same damn tune, he never sounds the same and you never know whats he’s gonna say next he’s an entertainer. Sure he may be a damn junkie but **** if he’s still that damn smart after all that brain damage this mutha ****a is a genius, and no just cuz u high dont just make u a good rapper **** it helps but lil wayne got a lot more then being high to help his game. This dude has his own style, if you were to read a song of lil waynes that you never heard b4 just by the lyrics you could tell it was wayne, whereas Jay-Z on the other hand you couldn’t.

    now maybe im biased cuz my favorite rapper happens to be the person who I think is the best rapper, but **** lets not forget mutha ****as like Nas, nas might be kinda weak now but his old **** was on point and many others underground included that dont get the fame that they’re worth.

    ~dre

  100. Andreaus Robinson Says:

    not to mention he has done just about every type of a song from, songs talking about love, getting head, killing ****s, etc, he can rap fast slow, freestyle, like In my opinion theres almost no competition until some one can do as much as he can

  101. jesse trode Says:

    NAS!!!!Listen To Illmatic,It Was Written,basically all his albums ecept Nastradamus and you’ll find out oh!!! And **** Jimmy Dean you dont no real hip hop ****

  102. jesse trode Says:

    And to all the ones how said Jay-Z is and Lil Wayne,Nas Murdered jay-Z on ether and Lil Wayne is trash.How you going to be the best rapper alive sing some bull**** Lollipop,get the **** outta here pussy ass ****s who is on Lil Wayne dick ****es all yall suck my motha****in dick hoes

  105. NY Babii! Says:

    wow.
    & that comment about new yorkers hatin lil wayne, NOT TRUE
    personally, i like lil wayne, its just that he’s not the best.
    (MY OPINION)
    his rhymes are mostly about puns.
    I think Nas, KRS1, Lupe, Kanye, & Jay-z……okay forget Jay-Z.
    the rest of them, got my vote lol

  106. A.D.B. Says:

    Nas, Talib Kweli, Hell Rell, Jay, and Young Buck.

    Nas: He has been a mainstay in the game and is truly one of those rappers who can talk a conversation on a song and it will still be good. He thinks outside the box and feeds a need that other mainstream rappers dare not touch.
    Talib: He is a serious dude and takes you through a metaphorical roller coaster on every song.
    Hell Rell: Dude can rhyme! Although he is mostly underground, his music is something I would choose over “Lollipop” any day simply because he is like a Wayne who grew up in a real project, doesn’t rap while on drugs, speaks coherently enough for me not to have to worry if he might pass out before the end of the song, and he has some SERIOUS punchlines that Lloyd Banks and alot of other freestylers can’t touch. He should have at least been nominated.
    Jay-z: When he isn’t talking about how rich he is, he is someone who we as a people can relate to and he leaves us wanting to learn more about him. Basically, he deserves a big throne, and if I were him, I would have slapped Wayne across the mouth, sending him home to Baby to kiss his booboos.
    Young Buck: If you only listen to mainstream, you are being fed garbage. Most people who think of Buck think of “Shorty Wanna Ride” and “Get Buck”. Yet if you buy the album, you find a completely different person who can tell a story as good as Pac could. His songs make you think and impress upon your brain feelings, even if you’re not paying attention to the song. He is truly one of the most underrated rappers and deserves to be in T.I.’s place any day. He represents an area that is only known for 3 6 fagia. He skips through their bull**** and paints a true picture of what it is. .

    Last of all, you should be ashamed of yourselves for those who follow mainstream and the radio only. The radio repeats the same songs every 3 hours, so its all the same crap that the 14 year old white girls want to listen to. Dig deeper and you will find GOLD, a realm where once you discover it, you will never go back.

    1 more thing on my advice to hip-hop: we need two genres of rap: one for the club songs so all the white ****es will be happy while they wait for their moms to pick them up afterschool. THE OTHER, REAL GENRE where no **** with one hit single for ringtone sales can take over. And we need to enforce this so that there is a BET1 and a BET2, each for the specific genres. There should be two radio stations, one playing Soulja Boy crap and the other playiing Nas. Until that day, rap will be on life support, waiting for the embarrassment to go away. NO MORE GAY RAP. NO MORE STUPID TEEN ****S THINKING THEY’RE HARD BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO V.I.C. AND APPROACH YOU LIKE THEY KNOW WHY RAP WAS CREATED. AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE EXTINGUISHED FROM WALKING THE EARTH. THEY CAN GO LISTEN TO THEIR ****TY EMO MUSIC OR WATEVER!!!!!!!

  123. Street Prophet Says:

    Over 2.5 Milli sold. Personal opinions don’t mean **** because everybody has one. You gotta look at the numbers being put up because that is a direct reflection of who the people feel are the best. As much as I hate to say it, Lil Wayne is currently the best rapper alive. If anybody else was better then they would’ve put up better numbers because the people would’ve supported them. Facts are facts, Wayne’s album got bootlegged 2 weeks before it dropped and he still broke records. Personally, I’m a 3 Stack fan but I can’t deny a fact. Call his fans what you want but they are in abundance and they support him. I salute the dude cuz he grinded to get where he’s at and he deserves it.

  124. WeezySucks Says:

    street prophet ur an idiot 2. if u talk about albums being sold 50 cent would kill lil wayne. but the fact is they both suk. u can say hes the most popular rapper but his lyrics r **** and wack

  125. j-blood Says:

  127. j-blood Says:

  128. WeezySucks Says:
