When I lift the eight up

that's an insult to compare him to either of those players, God Bless Hanks Soul.

Strictly talent wise it would really be Ervin v Larry... and in this category Joey wins.

"Anybody buyin respect me, try and wet me
You lil dude's'll never make it Y'all Some Tyus Edneys
I'm standout like Yao Ming, I'm what's poppin now
Like Fall Back Shaq I'M STARTIN NOW
Boys poppin it, toys pop and spit, I'm Not From Round These Parts I'm Stojakovic"

"Aint gotta say it that dudes the truth, make me put that tool to use
And these dudes'll be in the game shaking like Mahmoud Rauf"

This is Joey's lane and Jay's not really close it seems too effortless for Joe, to say otherwise is to speak from the passion of a blind fan.
 
Joe Budden has a myriad of great basketball punchlines

Jay has the one God line with the diesel lifting the eight up.
 
yo Luol Banga right...

Joey is like the Gerald Wilkins of rap...

...Jigga on the other hand, well IMO has a short catalogue of hoop metaphores compared to Joey...

..even jigga knew to use that Hoop metaphore on that pump-it-up remix

yall not understandin me, Budden is in my TOP 6 and my favorite artist right now.
the analogy im makin is in success/ puttin out albums. personally, just off the lines that come to my head i got Budden >Jay


edit: to explain further, take a look at the players i listed.
Hank gathers, great player, but do to say (God) wasnt able to make it.
Lenny cooke, made some bad decisions ...Joe ruffled a few too many feathers and happened to get placed under the EAGLE (in jay)
has anyone had more bad luck than Joe?
 
That's totally different and completely unrelated to the topic/conversation at hand tho which is why I said that analogy made no sense.

But in the context you're speaking on while I do admit Hank was a damn good talent I would say a better comparison MJ to a Penny/Grant Hill (all threeshowed flashes of brilliance when they were able, but to date they're seen as a disappointment by the masses, however they are respected by those who knowand love the artform in itself of course)

basketball and hiphop are two of my favorite things in life

Buddens been nasty. Yo cake, I love that verse. I find myself saying that %+!$ randomly throughout the year.

IMO, It's Fab then Buddens.
