Jan 22, 2015 Lupe Aesop Rock RA the Rugged Man Mos Def Talib Kweli Nas Jay Z Busta Q Tip Pusha T Chali 2na Earl Sweatshirt Bishop Nehru Many more I can't think of rn
Jan 22, 2015 lmao earl sweatshirt? busta? talib kweli? q tip? pusha T? get the f--- out you clearly have a bias against em or are unable to see why and how he is a top 5 rapper. pay close attention next time you listen to his s---
Jan 23, 2015 All those guys are consistently good Pusha is a different type of lyrical than Em but if you can't see that he's lyrical than "you clearly have a bias" Busta Talib and Q Tip are all top rappers as well. And the thing is for every amazing line I hear by Eminem he has an equally awful one to counteract it, he's like 2chainz. I have nothing against Eminem and like I said earlier @ganjakush56 if you woulda read my previous post I said that I can understand him being in your top 5 it's just that Eminem caters to such a casual audience that I can't see most fans having listened to enough rap to say he's better than x% of rappers
Jan 23, 2015 Don't see how. Eminem caters to casuals, therefore a large majority of his fanbase is ill-equipped to judge his status as opposed to other rap.
Jan 24, 2015 Truthfully I think most people (not you... Just in general) try to s--- on em cause he's so popular. People hold that against him and say oh well live the way you lie is why but they fail to realize his older singles are what propelled him to the highest level of fame. Its like in his case fame is counted against him for some reason
Jan 24, 2015 Yeah I'll give you that one. Idk he had good flow in h--- the sequel but people don't appriceate how technically sound that album is (if u ignore some dreadful punchlines)
Jan 24, 2015 Eminem is one of those guys that either gets ruthlessly s--- on or loved so much that its f---ing annoying but yeah @Section80 I see what you're saying people love to hate the fame but I'm not counting that against him I'm just saying it makes his fanbase less suited to judge rap overall seeing as many Eminem stans are the kind that get on Facebook and go "I hate rap but I love Eminem"
Jan 25, 2015 lmao you still tirppin, eminem, regardless of his flow (which if you listen carefully, is always on beat, synchronized with the entire production in very specific, direct, and accurate ways), his wordplay, delivery, performance, and overall energy throughout is astounding considering he is 15 years deep in a multi-platinum/2x diamond career. He is still rapping as if he is trying to get signed. What the f--- is jay-z doing? He is always in people's top 5 even though he has completely fallen off in comparison to his contemporaries (Busta, Nas, Eminem, Ghostface Killah, etc.). In terms of the culture of hip hop, Eminem also espouses this despite his high level of fame. And again, people will disregard the position Eminem is currently in career wise. Bouncing back from a near fatal overdose and addiction to benzos and opiates, he drops RELAPSE n-----, year later RECOVERY n----- (which i feel are above average albums) into a mainstream climate of YMCMB. 2011, boom - Bad Meets Evil. like n----- what f--- are you talking about? Then MMLP2 in 2013?! Bruh... Then 2014, we got the CXVPHER and the ShadyXV (as far as label compilation albums go, this s--- is dope). Let us now observe the traditional and popularized top 5. It is a variant the following: 1. Tupac 2. Biggie 3. Nas 4. Jay-Z 5. Andre 3K (alternate these n----s and you got the classic top 5 I cannot see any one of these rappers doing what Eminem did in the CXVPHER 15 years deep in their careers. Especially Jay-z. Eminem must be in the top 5. He is the hardest hittin n----- in the leauge
Jan 25, 2015 That stanning game too crucial. All his new s--- minus Bad Meets Evil is sub-par with the exception of a few songs per album and lmao at a "YMCMB climate" gtfoh this is what I'm talking about with people who disrespect rap other than the most obvious choices and then act like they know s---
Jan 25, 2015 Yeah well all I'm saying is that you have to show some respect to dead people and not assume that their career would mainly consist of s--- songs if they stayed alive for 10 more f---ing years
