Eminem Wins, Twitter Fans Bash Jay-Z For 'Most Overrated Rapper Of All Time' Diss, 'The Monster' Prepares For Dr. Dre's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?
In a recent interview with Music One, rapper Jay-Z expressed his confusion (and somewhat annoyance) regarding fellow emcee Eminem's infamous fame, fortune, and success within the industry:
"I don't really understand the appeal of dude... He dropped a few hot verses back in the day, but he's been mad average for many years now. He is probably the most overrated rapper of all-time, but he did really well targeting his audience. He is a genius in that sense, but in the bigger scheme of things, there are a million rappers who were and are lightyears ahead of him."

Funny - considering there was never any "hostile feelings" between the two hip-hop superstars. In fact, Shady appeared on Jay's hit 2001 tune, "Renegade" -
Several Twitter fans were NOT impressed with HOV's not-so-kind words. Who's the better rapper? Well, you decide...
@mcfadden46: "Jay Z saying he can rap circles around Eminem?? What kind of drug is he on?"
@InMyCudiZone: "Jay-Z really said Eminem is overrated? He's one to talk."
@Milio_2 : "Jay Z called Eminem overrated???? EXCUSE ME! Must still be mad Em destroyed him on renegade."
@JMorales_18: "Jay-Z sayin @Eminem is overrated is a disgrace. He would murder him on a track."
@Yanfinity: "I hate how people compare eminem to Jay Z. I mean he's good but he's no eminem."
@TheColleagues: "Jay Z said Eminem is the most overrated rapper of all time... That is so funny... Considering his 'Holy Grail' album was all hype."
@DJ_JonnyB1: "If it's true what Jay-Z apparently said about @Eminem being overrated then Jay-Z is the most overpaid rapper of all time."
@VernonRJAY: "...Jay Z must be having that mid life crisis a lil early."
Apparently, the blatent "diss" went right over Eminem's head (at least for now). Instead, "The Monster" tour rapper's preparing for... Twitter's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?
@beatsbydre: "Heads up @tim_cook, @drdre completed the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. @Eminem, @SnoopDogg and @kendricklamar, you're next."
Eminem: "@drdre I accept your challenge, Andre."
Stay tuned!
