I will have to say G-Unit.
Kinda disappointed by The Black Album.

The Black Album < The Blueprint

The G-Unit one was alright but definetly below average. 50 is so wack, I don't understand how someone can even understand what he says. Lloyd Banks is a good lyricist but he didn't make the transition from mixtapes to albums at all. Hopefully he'll step it up on his solo. Young Buck is.... dissapointing on this album. I Like him but he definetly didn't put his best effort forward. The beats were also average at best, which surprised me because 50's album at least had good beats. *Waits to be labelled a hater despite the fact I actually offered a legitimate opinion*

Jay-Z's I didn't listen to yet, just 3 songs. I was feeling the Quik produced track, What More Can I Say was pretty cool, and Change Clothes... was wack as fuck IMO. I'll definetly pick this one up though.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

I definitely say "The Black Album" is the better one, I don't know why, but "Beg For Mercy" kinda disappointed me >:( Although I think I'll listen to special songs from the G-Unit more than to ANYONE of Jigga's album, I have to say that "The Black Album" is better than "Beg For Mercy" if you rate the whole album.

The Black album will stand the test of time.

I think this might be Jay Z's best album ever.

Havnt heard the G Unit album yet tho, but Im guessing its not better than the Black Album.

i like jay-z's album..but i think he's missing somthing..i just don't know what heh

and g-unit's album is aight...and its pretty easy to understand what 50 cent is saying..you just gotta listen Lincoln ;)

I voted for G-Unit..why?...jay-z's album had like 5 average/good songs (Lucifer, my first song, Moment of CLarity, 99 problems, encore) and it had one GREAT song..."GO Dirt your shoulder off" (or The Threat for ppl with the DTA version)...Timbalands beat is...wow...i can play this song all day and would'nt get bored of it 8)

props to jay-z...hopefully there's a dre produced song on there

In all honesty, no exageration, I can't understand anything 50 says. It's very unclear & difficult to understand to me.

Both.

But if I got to put one ahead of the other, then it's G-Unit.

What country are you from again.. ??
There's 100s of rappers which is more difficult to understand than 50.

50 is one of the easiest to understand, cuz of the slow flow.
But then again, if you're foreign..  :-\
