As an MC Em is better than Jay in some categories and Jay got em in other categories. It's that simple.
Jay's double entendres are second to none, when you break down dudes lyrics, they are so multi-layered that it blows your mind.
Em's flow is THE BEST IN THE GAME. PERIOD. The only man that was even close to touching him in the category is dead.....(and it aint Biggie, Pac, or Big L.It's the one thats always forgotten)
I could go on about how they are better at different things but the bottom line for me is the following:
Both are amazing MC's, it depends on who you relate to more, and whose style you like more. I think Em takes it with this one, because although he mightsay crazy %*@, sometimes that's how we all act when we're amongst our closest friends. We don't two ^*&%$. We clown around. Also I feel likemore people can relate more to Em's early stuff (SSLP) than Jays early stuff (RD), and anyone who tries to dispute that hasnt really listened to the SSLP.I'm from the middle of the South Bronx, and as much as the media likes to portray us all like that, we are not all up and coming drug dealers trying tomake it out of the hood. We are just some every day dudes, who go through some of the ++! Em talks about more often than the ++! Jay talks about.
