Jay Z’s “Top 5 Emcees” interviews resurface after HHT tried to discredit Eminem Posted on December 24, 2021December 24, 2021 By Remy Gelenidze Few days ago, JAY-Z hopped onto Alicia Keys’ Twitter Spaces room to chat about the music industry on Tuesday night, giving his thoughts on a potential Verzuz match-up by telling the hundreds in the audience that he believes nobody can stand alongside him on that platform.Since he made the comments, hip-hop fans on Twitter thought Eminem could be a good challenger for Jigga, but many of them started to discredit the Detroit legend. As a result, Hova’s old interviews where he’s naming Eminem as a Top 5 Emcees of all time has resurfaced online. Back in 2009, in an interview with Big Boy, JAY-Z was asked to list his own Top 5 Emcees: “I got the usual suspects – Biggie, Pac, Scarface, Eminem and Andre 3000. Off top of my head, that’s would be my top 5.”In his 2012 interview, Jigga responded the same question with: “I would choose Biggie, because of his ability to tell the stories to be humorous, to be dead serious, he just had it all. I would choose Tupac because what he does not have and technical skills will be overcame by passion. Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-1 we gotta put him as well. I need more Emcees, you gotta have Eminem and Nas but those five and then we will switch them up.” In 2018, Hova also praised Eminem’s cadence.
