Eminem vs. Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z Wins? Slaughterhouse's KXNG Crooked Compares 'Greatest Wordplay' Rapper & 'Realist Storyteller,' Dr. Dre Collaboration! [WATCH]

Eminem vs. Tupac Shakur vs. Jay-Z.

Do MstarsNews readers have a preference?

According to Slaughterhouse emcee KXNG Crooked, all three rappers have their individual strengths. And each hip-hop superstar is a "legend" in his own way. According to Crooked (via  Blurred Culture):

"Eminem to me is one of the greatest wordplay artists and rappers... And then I might say Tupac is one of the realest storytellers that can touch your soul. Rest in peace to my Uncle Leroy. He was a real collector of music. He didn't really collect Hip Hop. He collected old jazz and bebop and old school R&B, 70s music. And when he died I went through his collection. And he had all the vinyls and crates and all that. And I'm digging through all his stuff. And do you know the only rap album I found was All Eyez On Me. And that just lets you know the magnitude of Tupac...Those three are very consistent in my top 10 list. Jay Z because he go from Blueprint to always [keeping] his finger on the pulse. Right now he still has his finger on the pulse of music."

Interesting (and valid) points. Crooked will always remain #TeamShady, considering he's a member of the Shady Records crew. Some of his new music appears on the recently-released compilation album, Shady XV.

Here's some cool buzz... Crooked is back in the studio with Dr. Dre, already working on some fresh material. The "I Can't Breathe" lyrists praises the renowned music producer:

"Dr. Dre is the G.O.A.T. to me... A lot of people don't know this, but I've been in the studio with Dre [lately]... And working and just observing and learning and talking to him about things. He's gon' always be the G.O.A.T. to me of Hip Hop producers. Just because he got three dynasties. I haven't seen anybody in the game [with three dynasties]. Ruthless, Death Row, Aftermath. He was a major part of three dynasties... I gotta probably put Timbaland in there somewhere."

Wonder if the "Rap God" has any surprise collaborations coming up?
