Mikey: It was a historic night for Drake and his hometown of T-Dot. During Drizzy’s headlining performance at his October’s Very Own Festival which also featured Bun B, Young Jeezy and Francis & The Lights, he made it night to remember by bringing out surprise guests Jay-Z and Eminem (also Fab & Rick Ross). I mean to have two of the most respected in the game come rock with you in your own city just off the strength says something. Hats off to Drake. (Thanks to Dynamics, Julia Beverly, Elliot Wilson)

I doubt it. Ross is over 30 milions records behind Eminem.. He posses no threat not even on Bloggers Universe.
I doubt Hov would even let Jeezy and Ross go into an all out RHYME WAR…
It benefits no one. They both from the south and both are well known for being Jay-Z industry friends…
As for Em. He has sold the most records but is still overshadowed by HOV.
In my opinion the top three rappers in the game period is JAY-Z, EMENEM and WEEZY. Every one else follows…

I agree with these three being undeniably prominent in this game but Kanye West has to bump out or share a slot with either one of the 3…just on the strength of musical value/genius alone. My opinion, but you definitely on the money with these 3…can’t go wrong!!!

Put it this way on stats Jay-Z against Eminem::::
Jigga got more club bangers..
-Longevity in the game
-Has been a succesful business man outside of the rap game
-Has more memorable lines and songs tham Em.
-Still a Dominant force in the game today. And the only one from his era to still be in the top 3..SLOTS
-When you hear of a Jigga concert all you think about is fly bitches good music and a great time.And better hope you get those tickest early cause they sell out quick….
Eminem only has records sales…
Although he has sold the most…
No disrespect to EM fans…
Weezy can be put against kanye..
they both can rhyme and both have the club bangers….It is hard to really compare who is a better entertainer….
