Everybody says that and Chad Warden just doesn't get it. Probably the same n----s who hated 808s and now love it. Chad's hating. Different opinions, different people.

oh this thread again

this isnt really an interesting topic...Kanye's prime could be anyone of his vastly different eras while Eminem's a small fraction of his career where he was rapping better than everyone alive (and not the bs "oh his technical rapping is so good tho!!" s--- that people say nowadays). But that doesn't mean his music was impervious to criticism

Eminem obviously

but overall Yeezy s----s on him

Kanye fans better come defend him. Eminem Stans killing him in the polls.

I agree. his modern work doesn't hold a candle to Yeezys discography. His early s--- however, that's debatable.

I can say from a rapping standpoint, Eminem in his prime was the best rapper of all time. imo.

Kanye >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I think Eminem's career is really overrated. He is a better rapper but definitely not a better artist

 

Sep 11, 2015

Eminem all the way!

Why

Eminem is the better rapper, Kanye is the better rap artist.

i would pick eminem. rapping for him was effortless and he proved (with stan) that he could construct songs that just weren't meant to shock listeners, which is something he was often criticized for in his earlier days.

kanye's rapping has never been that great, but yet he was still able to make a lot of good music--i just don't think his peaks were quite as good as eminem.

so i'd pick eminem, though i'm a big believer that its difficult to compare rappers, because most of the times their styles are completely different---this being a great example

but if i had to pick, i'd go eminem

This. Topics only interesting if you explain why. Otherwise you seem like a blind fan.

This to. I never understood the hate for Yeezus. Album is brilliant. People hated on 808's back in the day to. Flash forward 7 years later and it is universally praised, not just for being a great album, but for changing the landscape of hip hop. 808's paved the way for artists like Drake & Cudi. Looking at Yeezus, the same thing happened, so I can't really take the criticism seriously. Yeezys just ahead of his time. Give it a few years, Yeezus will be praised as a classic.

Edit: I would also say there is a parallel between Eminem and Ye here. During the time of they're release, both were misunderstood by critics and listeners alike. They sold well and are giants in the industry no doubt, but a lot of people just didn't "get it" when it came to they're music. Em's early work was fantastic however as we all know, it received a lot of criticism for being homophobic and misogynistic. I always viewed Em's 'Slim Shady' songs as a satire. They poked fun at the darkest parts of society as well as the worst parts of himself, and they did so in a comedic way so we could all have fun singing along with it. He also excelled at Anthem songs such as Lose Yourself, and dark, rage filled tracks about his past. Em was brutally honest with his lyrics, and that sparked controversy. Looking at Kanye's career, He has seen similar criticism. His controversial statements as well as his stunts (many performed on live TV) may be viewed as performance art. His music has always been ahead of it's time, such is the case of 808's and Yeezus. However he is also able to play on what is popular, and create albums loved by the masses, such as "The College Dropout" & "MBDTF". Both artists received harsh criticism for their art, misunderstood by many at the time of release. Only in hindsight do those same critics see they're brilliance.
