Jay-Z is the Best Rapper of All Time

So here is why I believe Jay-Z is the best rapper. First off, no one else in the game can challenge his discography. His debut, Reasonable Doubt, is classic. The Blueprint and Black Album are also both classics. While Hard Knock Life vol. 2 isn't quite classic, but it is defiantly a highly reviewed album. He also holds the record for most number one albums by a solo performer. To put that in perspective, that is higher than Elvis, Madonna, and Michael Jackson. My next point is, he has a huge influence on the culture. Jay-Z was the first rapper to use the word "swag" in a song. Now we all see where that word is now. And finally, he is clearly one of the best rappers when it comes to beef. Now Eminem has undoubtly won all of his beefs, but who has he faced? Ja Rule? Mariah Carey? Jay-Z went toe to toe with one of the greatest MCs of all time, Nas, and arguably won. Now some people will say Nas one and some will say Jay, but either just being close to him shows you how good he is. He has also had some recent small beefs with Drake and Lil Wayne. So let's have a good debate and good luck to my opponent. (I would also like to add that I respect Eminem and find him to be quite skilled but not on the level of Jay-Z.
Jay-Z is the Best Rapper of All Time

I'd like to add, Eminem is more than a rapper. He writes his own songs, he is a producer AND actor. He starred in 8 miles, a successfull movie. Of course I don't discredit jay, but he will be forgotten in a few years. Eminem will stay longer. He is a good person too. Watch some interviews and you'll see that. He is 40 and he is still famous. And no train wreak. He undeniably has the greatest lyrics. His rap is far from forced and he is a humble man. He's also diffirent then other rappers, his songs aren't like: Drugs and alcohol I'm high now tit butts money mansions I'm high Drunk men I'm rich Ladies and tits (Rasist lyrics) women Crack and cocaine, girls I like big butts That girl has big boobs BLURRED LINES! he doesn't auto tune himself to the point where he sounds non human.
NASA Should Assume Role in Investigating UFO Documentation

Both the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Astronomical Society took on scientific investigations of UFO sightings including a massive polling effort. Both institutions are not branches of the government but are in fact professional associations in aeronautical engineering and astronomy, respectively. Their data and research was entirely independent from the government and roughly as inconclusive. A revaluation of the information by NASA scientists would have to reach about the same conclusion if the same scientific method is applied to the same data, there is no other logical outcome. My opponent also raised the question of NASA scientists generating their own data. The only two alternatives I can see in this situation is a scientist in question being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time with the right equipment or running after any UFO sighting with any amount of credibility. Both solutions are problematic for their own reasons, namely expense, validity of the data, and ever elusive luck. I clearly have a different vision of the mission of NASA than my opponent. I would contend that we should be directing our efforts close to home. My opponent has pointed out that we barely know anything about space, for that matter our knowledge about our own solar system is very limited. Shouldn't we invest most of our money getting to know our own backyard before jumping off the deep end and hoping to find extraterrestrials or searching the stars? Exploration of any kind has stages, limits, often placed upon it by the technology of the time. The Portuguese had to first develop the techniques of sailing and navigation before they could round the tip of Africa. Only after this period of small steps and mastery of the techniques of sailing could the Portuguese continue to a greater goal. We are much in the same boat as far as space in concerned. We are only at the beginning. While there is no doubt in my mind as to the existence of extraterrestrials the difficulties of locating them, contacting them, and getting anything meaningful out of it are great. I do not think we are prepared technologically to deal with this issue at this time. To use an analogy it's like A.G. Bell trying to tell us how the internet works. The basic rules still apply, the hurdle is the difference in the levels of technology. While I don't think I have sufficient knowledge to take you up on your offer of a debate on any further subject at this time I would certainly appreciate if you could suggest some reading material or websites. I have a keen interest in the subject and so far this is an expansive and interesting debate. Thank you.
NASA Should Assume Role in Investigating UFO Documentation

The US Air Force investigated UFO sightings from 1947 to 1969. "Project Blue Book" was a program designed to 1) debunk all reported sightings as nonsensical or "weather phenomena" and 2) determine if the aliens that were visiting our planet posed a threat and thus a cause to consider devising a strategy of national defense against them. The biggest separation between the conclusions this branch of the US military (or any of the other agencies my opponent listed) and the conclusions that NASA investigations would produce would be in the scientific approach. As far as the budget goes, the purpose of proposing NASA to take this role is to make efficient the discovery of life outside Earth, thus shifting our budgets aimed toward locating or contacting that life. Rather, we presume there is no life out there without the scientific proof. So we spend billions of dollars on the research and development of devices that can better scanning the skies and to develop and manufacture thrusting engines that take us further out, but only inches at a time by terms of our expansive universe. If we spent only a portion on investigating what might very well be close encounters - but, again, with a solid, scientific approach - we might find ourselves "exploring" much more efficiently. As far as arguing what my opponent suggests - barring aliens from the use of wormholes; the improbability of the existence of aliens - I hope to take that up with my contender...perhaps in another, fitting debate.
NASA Should Assume Role in Investigating UFO Documentation

Why would a NASA investigation come to any other conclusions as the US Air Force, the French space agency, the Battelle Memorial Institute, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the American Astronomical Society? I would contend with the limited NASA budget a more effective and less studied field could be found to invest in. Second, if NASA is investigating space and UFO's are indeed extraterrestrial in origin then at some point we should intercept them in space, barring the use of wormholes. And even if a wormhole was used the surge of radiation should be so obvious that we should have seen something by now if they were being used in our neighborhood. It would be mighty strange that if extraterrestrials are crossing light-years that we can only see them in the atmosphere.
NASA Should Assume Role in Investigating UFO Documentation

Debatable point: NASA should assume an authoritative role in investigating UFO documentation. Rather than assert that NASA should investigate all sightings or personal claims of sightings, abductions or alien encounters, the idea is that NASA collect, analyze and report on CERTAIN well-DOCUMENTED sightings. "CERTAIN" implies that the documentation analyzed will be at the discretion of an educated, interested team of NASA scientists. The word "DOCUMENTED" involves only sightings recorded by photo image, video and digital recordings, unless more substantial or physical evidence is presented. Opening argument: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a mission statement that proclaims this government organization strives to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research". Organizationally, the agency is then broken down into four mission directorates: Aeronautics, Exploration Systems, Science and Space Operations. Each of these directorates have the same underlying question to answer: What is out there in space? NASA dedicates much of its efforts to answer that question in any form. For this overall mission, the agency is consistently focused on discovering life on other planets. To-date, countless new planets - some close to the size and mass of Earth - have been discovered as part of distant solar systems. Closer to home, NASA believes that one of the moons of Saturn may harbor life deep below its icy surface. Scientists say that if we discover that life exists on a planet (other than Earth) in our own solar system, then - mathematically - we can calculate that life is teeming, abound, and can be found everywhere throughout the entire universe. With so much documentation available for research - photos and clips that we have collected here inside our own atmosphere - the agency already has access to plenty of material to make scientific determinations about life beyond Earth. The "educated and interested team of NASA scientists" could collect field data of their own, generating photographs and digital imagery to analyze themselves. If a respected agency as NASA seriously analyzed the possibilities of alien life visiting Earth, then perhaps working to answer the question, "Is there life out there?" will be replaced with the more efficient mission of actually locating or contacting the life we already know about.
The Weeaboo species needs to be banned

The entire weaboo species deserves the same treatment as humans, this situation reminds me of Nazi Germany where Jews were banned and hunted down. Proof that Pro is literally Hitler. Now 420,000 chromosomes may not be as great as it sounds. You only need one extra chromosome to have down's but imagine what you'd have with over 400,000 more. Regarding the weaboos' home turf, the virgin realm. Whilst it is true they can traverse it like weaboo Jones, it is also true that you require the blood of 100 virgin waifus, something that is very rare in the virgin realm, seeing as all "waifus" run at the sight of as weaboo for fear of sexual assault. Speaking of which, weaboos are indeed attracted to humans, you have provided a picture evidencing this yourself. (with the caption "look at this savage player going full weeaboo"). Inserting image... Or check the image on Pro's first round Lastly, neckbeards. Whilst it's true they think it's normal, many of them are unable to grow a beard of any kind. Also, humans grow neckbeards as well. Frank himself has one in his video starring weaboo Jones Neckbeard spotted at 7:03
The Weeaboo species needs to be banned

Notice I said banning the weeaboo SPECIES this is because they are not humans they are sperate species you see humans have 46 chromosomes and weeaboos have 420,000 chromosomes they are not humans so they should not be treated a such. they are from realm 9.12 (virgin realm) not even the same realm as us so this proves my point they are not even human wich also explains why they are not intrested in humans but waifus instead. They are so unhuman they think neckbeards are normallink from last time should work

After a more in depth check on weaboo jones's powers, I have discovered that he is a Mangekyou Sharingan user. I have discovered this by taking notice of his eyes in frank's video and comparing them to others online. But what exactly happens when you activate this sharingan? "The Mangekyou Sharingan is an upgrade of the regular Sharingan. It can only be unlocked upon going through the psychological trauma of seeing a loved one die in front of the Sharingan owner. The shapes differ person to person. The Mangekyou grants additional, extremely strong powers to the user at the cost of severe vision impairment, and eventually blindness." https://www.quora.com... Now to counteract this sharingan easily, we can use basically anything, the dude is blind after using it. Use whatever you want: toater, butter knife or even an attack helicopter. It's that easy. The reason for why weaboo jones needs a special attack is easily answerable if you have been to his dimension. Unfortunately is is completely overrun by weaboos, that is why he needs his special attack. It is too dangerous to enter without a special attack such as sharingan. They regularly have clan wars and thin out their own population in an attempt to be the best clan the virgin realm has ever seen. I got this information from a former weaboo formerly know as "xXPussySlayer&KingOfAllHentaiXx". He has a truly tragic story about how his clan was wiped out and how he had to develop black magic in order to survive. This is why weeaboos need their special attacks and katanas. As you said before, reality checks are very expensive. Which is why I make my own. Obviously, this is the more economical option. To create your own reality check just scream out something painfully obvious to non-weaboos. You can also deeply offend them with such statements Such as: - "YOUR WAIFU ISN'T REAL" - "YOUR NOT JAPANESE" - "MY FAVORITE ANIME IS TOY STORY 3" - "YOU SMELL LIKE MOULDY DORITOS DIPPED IN COOL RANCH" The best thing about these reality checks is that they are re-usable and can be recycled by other people fending off weaboos Now, as you said "it would be cheaper just banning weaboos". Yes, it would but by that logic it would also make more sense to ban katanas and other weaboo weapons. This just isn't feasible as it they already exist, just like weaboos. This raises another concern of mine, if the human population were to discover the special attacks weaboos possess, they may try to use them to make an army of super-soldier-weaboos. We all know that they would willingly suubmit in exchange for some high quality hentai anf letting the people know that weaboos are dangerous may just lead to this.

You said it your self " a background check of weaboo jones reveals he is from realm: 9.12 and has a special attack named sharingan." If weaboos are not violent why would they need a special attack also frank was attacked by the weaboo and acted in self defense also why did the guy have a Katana wether it was a meme or not?you said "It is my belif that if we keep reality checks with us at all times,the weaboos cannot get to us"I want you to think of the cost of reality checks I have many weebs in my school and I see them every day so a single box of reality checks can only last me a day so that is 24.53$(cost of check at bank of america) times 365(days in a year) you end up spending up to 8953.45 dollars a year and if you saw the video you would see that frank had to use multiple reality checks on weaboo jones so in the end it would be cheaper just banning weaboos

I see where this debate is going and I like the direction... So without further ado "Weaboos they think they are Japanese just because they read or saw some anime wierdo stuff and know how to use chopsticks and learned the language online." -Pro Don't really know what to think of this definition so I'll provide my own from urban dictionary. "A negative term directed to anyone overly obsessed with Japanese culture to the point where they become annoying.Used frequently on the image boards of 4chan. Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to "be Japanese". While the two terms are often fused together, weaboos are very different from anime fans or enthusiasts. A fan may be just as enthusiastic and knowlegable about Japanese culture, mainly anime, but they neither boast about their knowledge nor call themselves otaku(because of its known negative connatation)." -Urban dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com... There really isn't anything noteworthy about these people besides their obsession with japanese pop culture, there is no reason to ban them from anywhere. As for the image you have provided of a "typical weeboo inspecting his katana in order to kill of his american ancestry" That's a meme. Clearly a meme. The cringe compilation is entertaining at best and again, does not warrant the banning of weaboos. The other two links you have provided just take me to the youtube homepage and since I don't know what'll be there I have no option but to ignore them. Lastly we move on to weaboo jones, after looking around for weaboo jones on the internet I have found a video by filthy frank titled "WEEABOOS" TVFilthyFrank: https://www.youtube.com... WEEABOOS video: Weaboo jones is introduced at minute 7:20 In this video (which I may or may not have seen before) a background check of weaboo jones reveals he is from realm: 9.12 and has a special attack named sharingan. He does in fact attack a man named frank but from what we see he did not hurt frank as much as frank hurt him. Frank has clearly defeated weaboo jones with his own special move; reality check which utterly demotivates weaboo jones. It is my belief that if we keep reality checks with us at all times, the weaboos cannot get to us

Now for my arguments. Weaboos they think they are japanese just because they read or saw some anime wierdo stuff and know how to use chopsticks and learned the language online. These creatures of the underworld are very cringy with there anime girl/boyfriends(it's a real thing). Also they are very violent using there Katana and ancient japanese weapons to spread fear among the populus don't belive me did you hear about the weeaboo named jones who attacked a man named frank typical weeboo inspecting his katana in order to kill of his american ancestry 1943 colorized sources. https://www.youtube.com......https://www.youtub...e.com... . https://www.youtube.com......-this girl thinks she is japanese because she reads mangalook at this savage player going full weeaboo this is weeaboo jones the one who asulted the man named frank
An Afterlife is Impossible

First I'll make the scientific arguments as to why an afterlife is impossible. 'Contradictory to the second law of thermodynamics as well as "all living things must die". Once you demonstrate for us how this contradicts the second law of thermodynamics I will then refute it. ' The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that all things eventually fall into disrepair. This applies to livings things, (living organisms will eventually grow old and weak) and non-living organisms (a star will eventually burn out. ) Because of this, a soul cannot live forever in perfect condition, and neither could the location of the afterlife. Also, since an afterlife would be 'life after death,' it is impossible for a soul to live forever, as all living things die. 'And yet none are conclusive. ' But all provide an explanation without having to use 'the soul. ' And now for the logical arguments. . http://www.youtube.com... Your body has five senses, which send signals to the brain. If the soul existed, it would need to be capable of the five senses by itself for you to experience an afterlife. If the soul is capable of the five senses by itself, then why is it that if you cripple someone's nose, they can't smell anymore? Wouldn't there be a back-up sense of smell in the soul? If a soul is incapable of any senses, then how can it really be you? All of the thought process takes place in the brain, so if brains aren't flying up into the sky after death, how are people experiencing afterlives? There is also the issue of if you go somewhere after death, it would have to be a place. The problem with that is, how does the 'soul' know how to get there, how does it travel, and how does that place have enough room for the billions of 'souls' arriving in increasing numbers. How could the 'heaven' be perfect if you would be sharing it with murderers and rapists who have repented? Also, how can it be perfect if everyone has their own imperfections? And since everyone's perfect 'heaven' or 'hell' would be different, than there would need to be billions of different heavens and hells to suite each person. I have also embedded a video explaining more logical arguments against an afterlife.
An Afterlife is Impossible

Thank you for the timely response. ================ My opponents arguments. ================ 1. Illogical: As it stands this has no bearing on your argument, once you provide some substance to go along with it I will refute it as necessary, but being alone as it is now, means nothing. 2. Devoid of evidence: I have effectively refuted this in the first rounf. 3. Contradictory to the second law of thermodynamics as well as "all living things must die". Once you demonstrate for us how this contradicts the second law of thermodynamics I will then refute it. Now, what we must notice about the law of "All living things must die" is that it is pertaining to only life as we know it here on earth. Which has no bearing on an afterlife. "There is also the question of - supposing the soul exists - how would it get to the place where the afterlife is located, and how would it know where to go." Irrelevant, If we are supposing the soul exists than the resolution is negated. "How do you leave your body? We know now that consciousness, personality, and emotions are all generated in the brain. You are your brain's consciousness, so how would you experience an afterlife if brain consciousness has nothing to do with it?" Doesn't matter how we would do it. We, unfortunately do not conclusively know how the thought works. The point to an afterlife is a life beyond our human form, the way we may think we do things now does not the future depend. "First of all, that's not true. The study of atoms is still called 'The Atomic Theory,' but I believe there is more than enough evidence for atoms." Exactly, we do have evidence for it, but we didn't back when. "But the point is, with how far mankind has come in it's existence, if an extremely significant and important thing like the soul existed in our own bodies, we would have found it already." Not necessarily true, nor does it make it impossible to occur. "There are quite a few scientific theories for this, such as the body's loss of fluids, waste, or air in the lungs. Or it could be from a chemical process caused by decomposition. Another explanation could be the shrinking of the body after it stops generating heat. It may even be a combination of some of those." And yet none are conclusive. ======= Conclusion: ======= My opponent has not at all yet demonstrated how an afterlife is remotely impossible. I look forward to the last round.
