  2. STOP IT 5!!!! says:

    Number 1 (em) and number 2 best rappers in the game.

  3. damone says:

    Stop it 5! You got me rolling over here. I like Em but we all know Jay is the best to ever touch a mic.

  4. Elton John says:

    Nas is the best not Jay or Em

  5. hmm says:

    this is so weird…I mean *scratches head* it’s just …weird.

  6. damone says:

    Nas is your fav which is cool because I likes nice alot also. We know who is the best tho.

  7. Fat Boy says:

    @Stop it 5. Cosign

  8. PITRI says:

    Em’s the best in my book…Nas is 2nd..but i base my shit of skill and passion…not the things theyve accomplished…cuz thats what every jay fan seems to bring up…i never hear the same how nice he’s on the mic…cuz he aint all that..

  9. 2D says:

    LEGENDS…i love these dudes

  10. damone says:

    Pitri…
    I was born in the city so I love real street music with soul and real. Thats why Jay is loved by alot of people.

    Likes go CD for CD Song for Song

    I like Nas and Em

    Em doesn’t have a Cd better then Resonal Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster, or BP3 but I guess it’s what you like.

  11. Derty Kevin says:

    What is the deal with MLB getting all the big announcements in hip-hop? First Dr. Dre and Iovine now this? Makes for awkward times. Come on Paul, you could’ve hooked up MTV or something for this…

  12. Wow. says:

    Who cares if Em is better, or if Jay-Z is better. How the fuck did Nas get thrown in this?
    Anyways Try to enjoy the fact that these cats are doing something as big as this.

  13. Word says:

    Lmao 3 back to back post on this same subject? Couldnt yall just wait and compress it all into one post, to save space or something?

    Anyway, both of the greates MCs in the game right now, and probably ever doing it big, like the way hip-hop is going these days. Big news a couple years ago would be “Soulja boy invents new dance!” Now we getting Nas and Damien, Eminem of course, Slaughterhouse to Shady, and more importantly…crickets in the Young Money camp.

    Now then, I dont know the lists of guests set to appear on Recovery but, it would be nice if they had a song together on the album. Renegade II? Something though….somewhere down the line though these guys should have a collaboration album though…but i may be asking too much.

  14. EminemBase says:

    Lmao @ people saying Jay the best.

    Have you even listened to Renegade or… Em did that song with Royce and didn’t change his verses. SO Jay got a chance to hear it and outwrite Em and STILL couldn’t.

    He’s also never created anything close to MMLP or TES. Get real.

  15. damone says:

    EminemBase like I said it’s what you like….
    We all know MMLP or TES is not better then Reasonal Doubt, Blueprint or the Black Album….
    That’s the dumbest stuff i’ve ever heard.

  16. blaqscorpio says:

    blah, blah, blah! Stop the bitching! TWO OF THE GREATEST AT TWO CONCERTS, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?!!!!!

  17. Word says:

    @damone

    Its not that far fetched as you making it seem bruh

  18. nahright says:

    SMH at these eminem stans

  19. damone says:

    They should put this on Fuse because I cant make it.

  20. Fat Boy says:

    Every artist has stans not just one artist, 2 Best MCs Em & J

  21. Marie says:

    Agrees with blaqscorpio………yall go head and duke it out bout who is the best and all that…….pardon me while I look for when and where the tickets go on sale…..Im gonna enjoy this!!!

  22. dumb dumb says:

    these dudes, don’t even know each other its so unpleasantly awkward to hear them bs their way through that interview. Stumbling, bumbling and of course mumbling straight up business deal nothing more. I mean classic song “renegade”, classic is loosing its luster now if that what it takes.

    Still a good look, but the pretending must stop.

  23. az5lyrics says:

    HOV THE G.O.A.T.

  28. money l says:

    hove is the best why you mad stupid face

  29. […] In New York, Em is opening for Jay and in Detroit, Jay is opening Em. How appropriately awesome. Rap Radar broke the news first. Peep a video of an interview of them speaking on […]

  30. Sin says:

  31. Ac@pella! says:

  32. illegal like malik and jahmal says:

  33. az5lyrics says:

    @money I

    CURTIS( 50 CENT) FLOPPING JACKSON IS A BITCH THATS NOBODY WANTS TO WORK WITH HIS FOPPING ASS.

  34. Wow. says:

    People still hate on both Em and Jay. They won’t be hatin’ the sooner this happens. Has Ross done shit like this? Hell naw.

  35. will says:

    it seem like they were trying to watch the Game

    and Lol at the nigga saying ricc ross is better than Eminem real talk I can name 20 rappers thats better than ricc ross right now the fact a nigga can only put 4 im not even going to count ross but the fact that a nigga can only name 4 rappers thats better than him means dude aint nowhere near overrated Ricc ross aint even the nigga in the south emine once controled the whole Rap Game tours and sales and awards ricc ross aint got shit to his name but the bullshit plagues he make up

    real talk if that nigga soulja boy work at it he can be better than ross i heard one freestyle by that nigga rapping on his balcony dude can be better than ross but eminem is influence on damn near all of the new comers from Charles to Cory Gunz even to them little Jerk Niggas Honestly who has came in this game and said they are influenced by ricc ross this nigga been doing music locally for years no new comer out of florida or the south has said ricc ross has been an influence on my career Gucci Mane has been a bigger influence to these niggas more than ross

  36. EminemBase says:

    @damone LMFAO You think any Jay-Z album matches up to Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show? Man your taste is awful.

    Where’s Jay’s “Stan”, his “Kim”, where’s his artistic genius. If 99 problems and hard knock life is all you got you gotta do a lot better.

    Jay-Z hasn’t crafted an album even approaching the scope and depth of an Eminem album.

  37. damone says:

    Not to get racial but Eminem Base are you white tell the truth?

  38. RRcoolJ says:

    That wasn’t akward at all. It was a pretty good interview if you ask me. Jay is a natural and Em was his usual nervous self.

  39. K says:

    the RR flash player is the worst on the internet.

  40. 1 says:

    LMFAO at these debates that are just totally insignificant for this particular moment. People, just relax.

  41. rocstar says:

    all this eminem vs jay shit is ridiculous. if hov ever made a pop-dance record like eminems singles, he would get criticized to death. u think hov can dress up in bullshit costumes and sing bullshit ass songs? hell no. more ppl relate to what jay say. the only ppl that think em is the greatest are the white stans, and obviously there are tons on this site. ya hes a dope rapper but he’s nowhere near goat status.

    and wtf is gona happen if it rains?

  42. valerie says:

    fuck that motherfucking prick jay z. Like it or not, Em’s the G.O.A.T.

  43. Bad Bad Bad says:

    Jay’s not the GOAT he’s the CAMEL

  44. PITRI says:

    @rocstar…i aint no white stan…and i think hes the GREATEST! Soo you lose HA!!

  45. John IV says:

    yall are pathetic. they both make amazing music! and we’ll get to enjoy them as a PAIR for 2 shows! amazing. ill be at the ny one regardless or tix pricing. oh an LEBRON JAMES WILL BEE A CAV FOR LIFE! FUCK YALL SORRY SKNICKER DOODLE FANS. but he will be at the concert cuz he’s a hov fan just like me lol.

  46. E_ says:

    2 living legends. the greatests. clap for em

  47. hahahaha says:

    im sorry but the eminem show was TRASHBAGSSSSSS
    em’s first two albums were good but its def not better than jays track record

  48. 80LBballs says:

    daaaaannngggg this is gonna be siiick! might hafta start donatin some plasma or sperm to pay for this shit I’ll be ticket prices are gonna be redonkulous!

  49. […] Jay Z & Eminem on The Yes Network Jay & Em […]

  50. Drucifer1983 says:

    These 2 are really the last Men standing for Real hip hop in the mainstream arena…….When they go, all we’re gonna be stuck with on TV is Retards and Metro-sexuals………….

    I would pay whatever price to see one of these shows, never got a chance to see em yet but I seen Jay years ago on the Roc the Mic tour…….

  51. NemesisB3 says:

    One day I wake up and I might feel like listenin to jay the next eminem, the next slaughterhouse, an so on. the point is they both amazing artists and they both doing shows together. jay stay touring so maybe em will hit the road after this.

  52. Trig says:

    Who’s idea was this for them to perform together? It’s gonna make Jay-Z look bad because Em has more fans than Jay-Z especially the types who are into baseball.

  53. jm says:

    this is the biggest thing we will see in our lifetime as far as hip hops concerned. HOVA keeps hiphop alive! fuckin clap for him is right. Jay-z And Eminem are top 5 dead or alive i dont care whos dick u riding. If they aint in ur top 5, ur a straight up retard. Yankee Stadium is gnna be OUTTA CONTROL. The house that hov built fuck that, The genre HOV SAVED!

  54. whoaaa says:

    who cares if fans are white or not!!!! we all know 90% of people of bought blueprint 3 was white anyway……truth be told white people are the ones that buy (majority wise)….but anyway i dont care what color fans are….fans are fans

  55. imeafk says:

    lol jay z is great but damone saying EM doesnt have a cd better than bp3 omg u friend. anyway, i cant get excited for something thats gonna happen 4 months from now. Overall great article but i was hoping big announcement is a song or a tracklist.

  56. fukYoUrFaVoriteRapper says:

    I can’t stand the people who act all up tight like u aren’t suppose to express ur thoughts on why one MC is better than another..rap is a sport if u haven’t noticed..I’m from NYC n wit that said ablum for ablum, song for song,event for event,trend for trend,fame for fame,bitch for bitch,etc Jay is the more skilled Rapper..even thou em has a crazy syllable twistin flow,. His subject matter on the past album sucked.the delivery of the album wack.the press weird..but that’s just my opinion..

  57. Tyrone says:

    This would be awesome. Except for the Jay Z part. Dude absolutely blows live. And I agree with the guy that said TES, MMLP > Any Jay CD.

  58. Tyrone says:

    Hahaha, did someone say BP3 is better than any CD in Em’s discography?! HAHAHAHAHA! Defective freaking genes.

  59. CaniBlog? says:

    SIMPLY TWO OF THE GREATEST TO EVER BLESS THE MIC EACH UNIQUE IN ITS OWN WAY YOU CANT COMPARE THEM TWO DIFFERENT UPBRINGINGS TWO DIFFERENT STYLES BUT BOTH LEGENDS OF RAP FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

  60. No Ceilings > Relapse says:

    Bow !

  61. teejay says:

    The way I see it, eminem beats jay in just about every category musically. He beats jay lyrically, has better albums, and sold more albums. But what em doesnt have is what Jay has in spades, and thats the intangibles. Sure em has the psychopath with a heart of gold thing going, but Jay-Z is the embodiment of the hip hop culture. Jay was a dirt poor kid from the ghetto, grew up hustling, worked hard, and became a star, an icon. Jay can have the money cash hoes, but he can keep it real at the same time. Jay-z has done so much for the culture of hip hop it’s ridiculous. And it’s not to say em has done nothing, he brought millions of white fans to a genre they never even considered listening to. But Jay is the embodiment of hip hop. Which is why he’s one of the greatest.

    I don’t believe you can say either is better than the other.

  62. No Ceilings > Relapse says:

    ^^^^^^^^^^

    Jay Z = Black

    Eminem = White

    Jay Z = Substance

    Eminem = Non Substance

    Jay Z = Real Shit

    Eminem = Dumb Shit

    Jay Z = Illuminati

    Eminem = New World Order

    Jay Z Wins!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bow !

  63. Tom Green says:

    I’M GREEN AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!

  64. Nipsyfire says:

    @damone i can name 3 eminem albums better then any of jigga’s aight and im ajigga fan im a big jay fan!!! Em’s cool in my eyes im not big on his shit but he definatly the greatest rapper of all time for what he did for hip hop.he brought culture’s together and inspired alot more white rappers t the table!!..
    know im from queens and all my niggas will always put they greatest ever as nas,em,pac,jigga and biggie..
    me i thinkin’ Royce,Em,Jigga,Nas AndBiggie

  65. RapMusic23 says:

    Fuck the haters.Em is one of the greatest,people who cant see that has a problem with the fact that Em is white.He killed jay on his own shit.

  66. Bmjac says:

    Think the concerts will be cool and the performances will be great. But clearly the two of them look AWKWARD in these clips. Feels FORCED.

  67. Toya says:

    I wonder which concert date will sell out first. I have a feeling the winner will be Em.

    ——————————————
    True. Em is completely out of his element.

  69. Dman says:

    ^ E aint you the dude that was callin em a crackhead??… n LOL @ all u fuckin fools bickerin about who’s better oh n to the dude that said rick ross>>>>eminem you jus lost all credibility or an opinion

  70. Marie says:

    @DUMB DUMB

    StuMbling and Bumbling through an interview doesnt matter ….they gonna sell out same way!!!
    You were right about one thing though, IT’S A BUSINESS MAN!!!

  71. OffMyNutz says:

    Em is the Greatest at what he does and Jay is the Greatest at what he does.They both spit about different shit so to compare would be hard so lets just do what thier doing and join together in celebrating the two LEGENDS!!!Im from Brooklyn so you would think i was bias towards Jay but,i can’t be Em is just so lyrically sound!!!Love them both on the mic!!!Shady!!Hova!!Get it popin!!!

  72. Marie says:

    So glad you paying attention @MATTYFRESH697400………but please know the collison happened the moment Jay mentioned his fresh new fitted……..and oh yeah….did you happen to see Jay Z on a float at the Yankee victory parade last October…the scope of hip hops’ infleunce ON EVERYTHING is bananas!

  73. Drucifer1983 says:

    Gotta love how people start an internet argument any time 2 rappers are mentioned in the same sentence…………smh, I’m just glad they doin the shows I love both these cats and have for over 10 years…………Wish I still lived in Jersey cause I’d be at the that new york show

  74. Chris says:

    Uuuuuuh! Please make an DVD !!! !!!

    Eminem!

  75. The Difference Between Us says:

    Eminem is not better than Jay-Z and Jay-Z is not better than Eminem. They are better than your favorite rapper!

  76. […] The tickets for Jay-Z & Eminem’s Stadium Concerts will go on sale June 12th. Good luck getting your tickets! Additional interview footage after the jump! Props to Rapradar. […]

  77. blaqscorpio says:

    Lol at anybody who believes that Em puts on a better show and is a better performer than Jay.

  78. NEGRITO says:

    YEAH EM GOT SKILLS BUT IVE BEEN ROLLING WITH JAYZ SINCE 96 AND HE BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE 89, THATS WHAT REALLY PUTS HIM OVER THE TOP AND REACHING GOAT STATUS. BUT I THINK A GOAT SHOULD BE 1 WHO NEVER FELL OFF OR STAYED CONSISTENT AND IN THAT CASE, BASED ON LONGEVITY AND NEVER FALLEN OFF JAY SHOULD GET GOAT. BUT DUDES LIKE KANE, KRS 1 , KOOL G, BIG L, LL, TUPAC , BIG, RAKIM AND MANY MORE ARE GREAT LEGENDS

  79. jacob says:

    @Rocstar

    If it Rains let it rain, the wetter the better

    Ha

  80. Peekay says:

    I see Royce with them

  81. The Difference Between Us says:

    @NEGRITO
    Good list: Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, but you forget Rakim.
    GOAT? I can’t chose who is better Em or Jay. Eminem is more lyrical, but Jay-Z’s style is more traditional hip hop.

  82. Chris says:

    Yes! Fantastic! Please make an DVD !!! !!!

    Eminem!

  83. BIZ says:

    hearing this and the Yanks clobbering Det 8-0 made for a great night

    i will def be @ the yankee stadium show

  84. Stink says:

    DETROIT RULES! ESSMAN –IN STORES NOW!

  85. Peekay says:

    dope that Royce is there with them

  86. CBH says:

    Is there any reason why they captioned Jay-Z as a “Hip-Hop Artist” and Eminem as a “Rapper/Actor”???

  87. NEGRITO says:

    @between us, nah fam i did mention RAKIM right after BIG. I am the biggest Eminem hater but reading some of these comments is make’n me “kinda” appreciate him a lil more. Im Tupac 4 life but i love Jayz style. What peepo seem to 4get is that Jay dumb down his style to gain money, momentum and fame. The biggest difference between EM & JAY is that Jayz stopped writing in 96, peepo can google this in. His last written performance piece was CAN I LIVE,. I give EM props for sitting down and trying 2 put together good words other than alot of these emcees that are currently shining now on BS. But i give Jay props 4 making many albums without a pen and just going in the booth using supreme intellect. Haters will say thats BS about Jay but has’nt no producer Jay worked with ever denied this fact, not 1! Jayz said on DOA “1st rapper to rewrite history with out a pen….” and no producer or anybody has said “JAY LYING”

    Renegade was a dope ass track and i got 2 admit EM flow was murder but they both spitted and Jay flow was crazy also. Somebody said Jay listen to EM version 1st with Royce and switched up. Why would EM recycle old rhymes from an old song to put on a new track? I heard Jay vocals was done first and then sent to EM, who knows? Show proof.

  88. […] Eminem & Jay-Z Speak On Concerts Live from Comerica Park in Detroit, Eminem and Jay-Z speak on the previous post. Be clear: Em will rock Comerica on […] […]

  89. EM & ME says:

    Bottom Line: You all WISH you were cool, talented and famous as Eminem is. If Jay-Z is his friend, then that make him even better. They are rich and EM is FUCKING HOT! Lay off the shit peeps and let them continue making their amazing music! If you don’t like it, then don’t listen to them fools.

    I have ur back Em baby from Chicago!
