Let's take this one by one.
Kool G Rap had the greatest 4 years in the history of hip hop from 1989 - 1992 with the 3 greatest back to back albums ever released. Each of which can be top10 easily, with Live and Let Die a top 5 quality album. Not only does he bring life to an entire genre with this (mafioso rap, which Jay bit with RD) hepopularizes the style of fast multi-syllable rhymes that almost every great rapper credits as their biggest influence.
Next 3: 4,5,6 , Giancana Story and Roots of Evil were all spectacular albums. His lyricism kept getting better and peaked at Roots of Evil where he wasunmatched in terms of flow.
That's 6 amazing albums so far.
CoR was a collabo, so skip it, and we end with Half a Klip, which was decent.
So.. no wack albums, influences countless rappers and helps shape an entire style of rap, and Jay is more consistent ?
That's a slap in the face to a living legend.
As for Killah Priest, we are talking about a man on a different planet from Jay in terms of lyricism. These aren't corny Jay-Z "im so rich and i soldcoke" nursery rhymes we are talking about. His discography is really the stuff of legend. From his debut to Behind the Stained Glass he comes out withback to back to back amazing albums. Mentioning Jay-Z with him is embarrassing for Jay really.
