Feb 26, 2017 Gucci mane. Unpopular opinion: I honestly think he's trash but i respect him because he's had an influence and has a good ear for new talent.

Feb 26, 2017 Responding to the idea "influence" is an objective or fair barometer for assessment. Your own take on his work aside- think it gets to a larger question See below re: legacy, or read the whole piece.
Feb 26, 2017 i think this is a very fair point to make but, generally speaking, i'm not using influence as a barometer of anything else--just listing those who i found most influential.
Feb 27, 2017 yeah i know except (i believe) in discussions of eminem's legacy/greatness, your - perhaps recent - counter has been: "well theres no one who is indebted to him today" . im paraphrasing but it sounded like you were implying bc theres not alot of his imprint/dna today that hes less great, overrrated, etc. just offering the wire shows that can be a fallacy!!!!!!
