He is the king of rap

 

[MaHaRaJaH]

Did he say that? No, he just said that Jay-Z was the MOST. 

He's inferring that he is better than the rappers he mentioned, and therefore they are as overrated.

Eminem is still more creative

how

Has Jay Z ever done a song like Kim?

 

[MaHaRaJaH]

lol i don't think kim is good at all, the only song i think is really creative by Eminem is Stan. Jay-Z has songs like Momma Love me where he uses his family as a metaphor for the streets, and dissing God on songs then denying it on another song is stupid, yet witty 

Not that it's a better song, but Jay Z never jumped to the depths eminem did in Kim. Eminem is more versatile, Jay Z just does what he does very well.

well to be fair Jay-Z's life revolved around going from dealing crack to becoming one of the most successful people in America. Eminem's life had more bullying, anger, dysfunctional relationships, which kind of explains why his music is different than most peoples 

You're right, you're right now telling me they are 2 different rappers, which is true. However you can compare their rap when the theme is about their life. Jay Z  and Eminem do those themes heavily, both also created characters for themselves (Hova and Slim Shady). Where they differ is the emotional level- which eminem is more creative in, and therefore has more ranging songs.

Eminem also never used a broadway hook like hard knock life or anything.

A hook for a rapper is hit-or-miss which can almost be solved by the producer alone, but guys like these focus mainly on their verses- which is what I'm basing my argument.

character/gimmick slim shady is more creative then HOVA obviously. Though lyrically i find Jay more creative with all the double entendres, hidden meanings/references, and metaphors. Eminem's music doesn't require as much effort imo

Quite the opposite, best example I can think of this is 97 Bonnie & Clyde where Eminem talks about murdering his wife while taking his daughter to dump the body. He has to rap in such a way, that he has to keep in mind he's speaking to a 3 year old.

^^That's just not true.
