Has Jay-z really got to watch the throne??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjsXo9l6I8endofvid [starttext] As we all await the highly anticipated collabaration album Watch the throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West we must ask does Jay-Z have to watch over his back or not??.

Since his debut album Resaonable Doubt to his Latest album The Blueprint 3 he has had nothing but success both as an emcee and businessman, and as he hits 41 he is going beyond boundries most his age have found hard to do Jay is able to stay modern without changing his style to what is out today for example (auto-tune) .

Now as his latest venture is about to be unleashed on the hip hop world we must ask who is Jiggas main competetion, who is eyeing his thrown ? When we think of names it is usually the same names Eminem Lil Wayne Kanye, and im sorry if people feel like im leaving out some names like Wiz or Drake or J Cole but for me their not grown enough to step up to Jay neither are the consistent but thats because their freshmen compared to Jay.

As for the names i feel are mentioned mostly well lets break it down

• Eminem : Possibly one of the greatest to pic up a mic and yes he is the main person i feel could take Jay but my reasons for him not touching Jay at the moment are that Em has only come back in the past year and a half and a great come back it was yes he had relapse in 2009 but by Em's stanards that was pretty weak now its about Em staying around at that level but until he sticks around and keeps on bringing it hard he cant touch Jay.

• Lil Wayne : Weezy has been in this game since a kid basically he knows what it takes and for years it was more about him capturing a global fan base in order to excell him to the level he should be at but my issue with Weezy isnt that he has been out of the game recentley because of his stint in rikers because he could afford to take a longer stint out of the game after the success of the Carter 3 but its his willingness to be diverse in the music industry he came with a hip hop album that was so successful that the numbers he reached for that ablum are not heard of anymore with illegal downloading but to go from a hip hop that excelled to enormus heights to then go and do a rock album?? For me that was a major mistake it didnt do anywhere near the numbers the Carter 3 did and changing genres for me is a no no if your hip hop your hip hop not to say hate rock music im just syaing you dont see Bon Jovi releasing an album with dr dre and timbaland producing and Jon Bon Jovi rapping so thats why i rule wayne out.

• Kanye West : One of the most contrversial characters in rap Kanye West is regarded as a super producer but his ryhimg skills are up to scracth to he has had major success with his 5 albums and his name in some rights has right to be mentioned but in terms of the callabor of his opponent in Jay-Z Kanye for me falls way short West would admit it himself that Jay is on another level and if we ever need an example of Jay's superiority in this duo just listen to the Diamonds remix , but together they are force to be reckoned with.

So in my opinon and lets remember its just an opinion for all of the discussion in my opinion Jay-Z's status as the king of the rap game will stay in tact for quite some time..... [endtext]
