cam uses the classic lines from timeless songs and shows you how they still apply today in a completely different way.

like:
Like Michael ...ya done.
Anyone, Ty-son (finished)
Jor-don (career's finished)
Jackson (heh...done)
Action (action jackson?? BEEN finished)
pack guns etc etc etc...

see? that's contrast to the original line showing all these michaels were great. Cam'ron's showing how all the Michael's have fallen, using the same line.

Jay on the other hand? He'll use the same exact line, for the same effect, just put his name in it, or himself in it instead of the original rapper.

like: "when the remy's in the system..ain't no tellin.." etc etc, you alreay know how it ends.

see? Cam'ron: original use of classic lines.
Jay-Z: unimaginative use of classic lines, but to build his own ego.

you can't put those two on the same level. they're not on the same level.
