Since I mentioned Common I might as well bring up fellow Soulquarians The Roots. Do You Want More!!!?? till Things Fall Apart was excellent although I'm hesitant on hailing those projects on the same caliber of a Ready To Die or The Chronic.

kind of like "you only made this thread to exclude eminem".

De La had a good run from 89 til 93 with 3 Feet High & Rising, De La Soul is Dead and Buhloone Mindstate.

not at all. Didn't you once post 25 rappers better than Eminem to provoke a similar response? I think you just like the attention you get by refusing to acknowledge that at one point, Eminem was amongst the best rappers alive.

someone said "wpg i bet you can't name 25 rappers better than eminem"...so i did.

 

Jun 13, 2015

my case still stands

 

Jun 13, 2015

uh, no, it doesn't. this thread wasn't made with eminem in mind in any way. i think about him far less than you apparently do.

 

Jun 13, 2015

Yes, because joining a conversation about him started by someone else involving you somehow implies I think about him more than you.

i bet u can't name 500 rappers better than eminem

I don't understand why everyone needs WPG's co sign on Eminem so badly. Just let it go.

He's the one baiting people into it

i made a thread (this thread, the one you read and are now posting in). the thread is about the greatest five-year runs rappers or rap groups have ever had. you posted in this thread, saying that i made it for the sole purpose of excluding eminem.

i told you that's ridiculous. of course "listen to more music" is condescending. i meant to be condescending. your post is ridiculous. i stand by the spirit of it though--i listed some of the greatest acts in the history of the genre and you're fixating on one dude who is overexposed anyway and on whom my opinions are pretty well known.

his name was not even in my head when i made this thread. the idea occurred to me while reading @Narsh and @Final debate thug and wayne. that was the impetus.

i forgot tribe in my initial post. they belong in there (and would be in the upper echelon if you stretched it 1991-96). why aren't you complaining about that? why is eminem the natural endpoint of every conversation on here? there are kids out there driving with learner's permits who were born after his last good album.

EDIT: this goes for @ozy too. i sound like preemo telling kids to get off his lawn, but i'm annoyed and frustrated that a thread that begins with some of the greatest rap music ever made devolves into people arguing about eminem. it's not about him. he's irrelevant to this. if you think he belongs in there, you're wrong, but fine, state your case. just know this wasn't done to slight him. there are other rappers.

rofl are u 12

THERE ARE OTHER RAPPERS BESIDES EMINEM

Infinite/SSLP/MMLP/TES are no where near some of the other album runs being mentioned

stop being so dense.
