Jay-Z vs. Kanye West: A 20-category comparative infographic

by Chayne Japal

Jay-Z and Kanye West came to Canada to present their record-breaking (no stats yet, we’re just going to go ahead and assume) Watch The Throne tour this week. The tour and the album it supports are total anomalies. Yes, Jay and ‘Ye do have great chemistry in the studio and it seems as if they’re friendship is not a total facade, but no one expects a legend and a superstar in his prime (interchangeable descriptions, depending on your opinion) to be so willing to share their time, fans, attention, and… profits with one another.

So AUX scientists did some investigating as to what might be the thing that makes these guys click. As different as their backgrounds may be, we’ve found some parallels that help explain how this juggernaut we call The Throne ever happened. We might not have found the answer, but here are our results anyway.
