    DMX would be the street dude mostly dropping street classic mixtapes. He's one of my GOATs but I have a hard time seeing a label wanting to deal with his baggage now. Younger Eminem wouldve been stuck in almost that independent/underground lane tryna spit like earlier Slim Shady in 2016.

    I think early Em would be more like Early OF wave (when everyone was like OMGRAPIZTS!) than Hopsin.

    Hopsin is a poor mans wannabe Eminem, but I remember when Earl & Tyler first dropped they were slurping Relapse HARD, openly too. Tyler even said he wasnt a fan of MBDTF but loved Relapse lol.
