M.Ward (by a nose) over Stankonia. Stankonia has 3 of the 5 best songs out of those 2, but Ward wins on overall album strength...

True. There are five or six black dudes in this group. I think she means JZ, though.

What exactly were you trying to prove with those four lines? Four lines from a throw away novelty song not on the album in question. Even if one were to concede they are terrible lyrics (which they aren't) what would that prove about anything? Some of the best verses of all time are pretty silly sounding when you read them written.

They're not that silly.

And I'm not trying to prove anything. I don't like Jay-Z, and those are some Jay-Z lines I don't like.
