Jay definitely is more successful and more relevant musically.
Kanye is more of a celebrity.than Jay though, in some respects.

Jay is definitely taller and generally larger than Kanye.

obviously jay

Jay has sold more records, so him.

Jay Z is way more successful and a little more relevant but Kanye has more artistry

Jay

Kanye is on average a better album seller but they're both globally known rappers.

Shawn and its not even close.

Jay Z but I prefer Kanye.

Jay is a bigger seller, a better rapper and more respected in every way than Ye. So I really want to see the argument for anyone saying Kanye

Jay Z of course.

Jay and it not even close, Kanye fell all the way off. The only living rapper who can compare to Jay is Em.

lol cause EM didnt fall off? Dude hasnt made a decent album in well over 12 years.

And Manga Carta was so masterful

This is a first. People usually say Jay Z fell off with his verses
// Anyways Jay Z but Kanye is more talented IMO and has better artistry.

Jay definitely.

Jay is bigger. Kanye is the better artist. But they're both great performers.

Jay Z has been consistently slaying for like 20 years. I don't think he has a single uncertified album.

He has more iconic hits too.

Jay and Em have more years of musical relevancy. Of course Jay isn't like he was in his prime, but his prime lasted from about 96 to at least 2010 and Em from 99 to about 2008. Kanye on the other hand is like the rap version of Gaga, with only 5 to 6 years of musical relevance. Well at least Gaga can still go multi platinum and gross over 200 million in tours. When was Ye's last multi-platinum solo album?

Jay is damn near 50, has had at least 14 years of great albums and is still pretty decent. Kanye is in his 30s with only about 5 to 6 years of good music, he didn't last very long. I don't see him ever being a relevant rapper again like he was from like 04-08.
