Drake ft Jay Z - Poundcake vs Mr. Carter ft Jay Z. Passing of the torch(s)

[danielnfl36]

Mr. Carter always is going to be a very IMPORTANT song in Wayne's discography, but Jay also did a similar thing on Poundcake. What song do you feel is the definitive "passing of the torch? And do you feel the same on Poundcake or am I reaching here?

[Weezyaveli]

Reaching!

Mr. Carter destroys Poundcake on every level. I never saw Poundcake as a passing the torch type level.

Poundcake just them rapping, I’d say Light Up is closer to Mr Carter in terms of “passing the torch”, but even then Jay playin more of a mentor on his verse

[FreeCV]

Passing the torch? No.

Agreed, Light Up would be closer to that.

A Star is Born came out in 2009, a year after Mr. Carter. In that song, Jay Z said if Wayne keeps going, he’ll pass the torch to him. He fell off after, and Jay Z never said he passed it

So you think Jay is still the best rapper?

Definitely not but what does that have to do with Jay Z not passing the torch to Wayne on Mr Carter, when he said the following year he might pass it, but he never said he did
