kuniva is a better lyricist than kanye.

a better MC,not a better artist though,but if kuniva was to diss kanye,he would toast him.

kuniva has a great flow with some good rhyming,hes under Em's guidance.

I really fucking like this song and video.

Kanye's verses are much better than Jay's too. I think Jay comes out with some nice lines here and there on Watch the Throne but overall I found Kanye to be much more consistent and entertaining.

I think the gap between the two lyrically now and how good Jay is NOW, is hugely exaggerated. And people just say Jay killed Ye because it's Jay-Z. But in reality, on a lot of Watch the Throne - Ye killed Jay.

Why would it sell more though.

Just because Jay and Kanye are big forces in themselves doesn't mean the album will do both their usual numbers combined. Collab albums rarely fare that well at all.

Also, this EP had two minor singles. Okay not MINOR b ut they were hardly massive hits.

Where as Recovery had two MASSIVE no.1's leading up to it, plus Eminem's name is bigger than both of theirs combined. Obviously it wasn't gonna sell more.

BillBoard & HITS over predicted and made it look like it was gonna sell a mill 1st week.

Those numbers are GREAT, not many Collaborative albums do good no matter how big their names are.


426k is definitely not disappointing for a COLLAB album.

People forget that. I think with this album people assumed because they were both huge names within rap, it would just double-up sales wise. But it doesn't, it dilutes it.

the Bad Meets Evil EP did less then 200k. And that had Em's name attached to it. Yeah it may of only been Royce with him but Em's name alone should of propelled it. The BME numbers are pretty disappointing given how big Em is right now.

But that just proves the point, another name only dilutes it.
