Eminem had a great run and fizzled out too quickly, he was a great rapper but folks like earl, doom, rakim, aesop rock, and not to mention a handful 90s artists I don't listen to are all equally if not more talented

Eminem does multis better than nearly any rapper but thats not the only measure of lyricism, a fact that seems to be lost on most stanleys

Eminem during TES/8 Mile is untouched.

Listening to anything @Skippy says about prime Eminem is laughable because the dude hasn't even listened to him.
I hope people haven't forgotten this.

 

Aug 21, 2015

I don't get how you say "multis ain't everything stanleys" and then include MF Doom on that list

 

Aug 21, 2015

Because MF doom has awesome abstract bars that literally no one else could think of, eminem uses window pane puns

 

Aug 21, 2015

Window pane puns, Eminem in 2010.

The Eminem Show, Eminem in 2002.

Whoosh.

Em wasnt the greatest in his prime

 

Aug 21, 2015

No he easily wasn't and your memes won't change that

 

Aug 21, 2015

@Narsh agree to disagree I guess homie, just know your one of the few that think that. Imo he was the best, he was great at every aspect of rap in his prime.

I get why people go against it though, some em fans are downright unreasonable and have little knowledge of rap outside of him. I've listened to a good deal of artists new and old, I really don't see anyone close to his 99-03 run.

I thought we were talking about Prime Em...?

1999-2003 Eminem wasn't special because of his technical ability. He was special because of his USE of that technical ability.

It's not the same this:



Than this:

^^^ goes with the complete artist argument. What wasn't he amazing at in 02? Great music, great content, hype/sales, classics, delivery, technical ability story telling.. He had it all

 

Aug 21, 2015

Yes but so do many rappers. Again going to use MF Doom as my main argument.

 

Aug 21, 2015

All these MFers acting like they forgot about him

 

Aug 21, 2015

I don't think liking an album has to mean it's better

 

Aug 21, 2015

This but...

Have you heard Encore?

 

Aug 22, 2015

That's fair homie, it's all opinionated let's all just be friends lol

 

Aug 22, 2015

Yee

I just don't think that these "best x" debates are ever good because it's hard to know enough about hip hop to make such a bold statement. I love Kanye but I hate when people say he's the best producer. It's just a stanning thing, like I feel like once you get educated enough on the topic you don't go "x is best" you say x is good at this, better than yz, but a did this right better than bc.

Hence, eminem is one of the greatest users of the multi and in his prime was well rounded in every facet of his music, but he wasn't the best rapper because there's plenty of rappers that are debatably the best at one thing and good to great at everything else

 

Aug 22, 2015

Agreed 100%.. It's not so black and white basically. All of us have preferences that play into our opinions, as you can probably tell em just suited the style of music I liked.

Edit: thanks for not just shi--ing on my opinion because I have an eminem avi.. Lol

 

Aug 23, 2015

Lol just listened to some eminem and I see that what I wrote was incredibly dumb.

 

Aug 23, 2015

Kanye hasn't made anything better than the MMLP. So Chad Warden...Chad Warden, thinks they are equals. Yeezus can't do s---. But how can I hate 808s? Graduation?

Chad Warden has to look at this from afar and realize they're equal but different.

Eminem is a more technically skilled rapper. But he is not nearly as creative or artistic as Kanye, and his discography is DEFINITELY not as good. He is simply not a better musical artist than Kanye.
