Dmx is better than Jay z to me....it's dark and hell is hot is better than any jayz album.....even mainstream success wife dmx first 3 albums outsold jayz first 5....X just was a street nigga to a fault and it ruined him...Jay was able to brush shoulders with the white folks in suits and X wasn't....

Top 5

1-tupac
2-nas
3-Eminem
4-ice cube
5-biggie
