Busta Rhymes Says Rappers Are Afraid of Eminem

[BlueberryWun]

If anything Eminem is afraid he isn't relevant to modern hip hop

No albums have sold more than Relapse since 09 which is an average album at best some would say not even average. And Recovery has sold more than any other Hip Hop album since 2009. Not to mention number 1 singles with Not Afraid

Afraid of what ?
Most of the time, you aren't supposed to "kill" the song, you are supposed to take the song to another level, you have to fit the song, you have to bring something "new",...
We aren't talking about freestyles, remixes or battles tbh

He killed Wayne, Kanye and Drake, who are sadly considered the best rappers out right now (or at least at the time), in one fell swoop on "Forever", he killed PRIME Jay-Z, he held his own against (and arguably beat) Biggie on "Dead Wrong", spit some of the best verses on Dre's "2001". Not to mention he kills 50 every time they collab (although that's not saying too much). I mean i'd be kinda scared to jump on a track with Em too looking at his track record.

Then of course there's Nas...can't believe they've yet to do a track.

At least we aren't the ones running away from any argument that we can't fight against. We also aren't the ones bashing something we are far too stupid to understand. You fucking moron.

Good read...
Busta is that dude!

[master360]

afraid of what? Eminem is the most mother fucking unpredictable artist ever
he can kill you career if he want, people need to stop judge him for a rihanna or pink feat lol

[Emadyville]

i think busta is partially right, but ems not in the spotlight like 99-04 either

[SoldierShady]

Busta Rhymes is so washed up it's not even funny. His opinion is irrelevant.

Totally agree... nowadays artists would actually love to collaborate with Em 'cuz of the crazy exposure they'd get & I don't even think they'd care about how great or whatever Em's part would be.

He's not washed up... he's just past his prime. There's certain difference & his opinion is pretty much relevant as he's been around for so long & have seen a lot more than most cats out there.

I don't even think beef is the same nowadays guys.
Nobody really gives too much of a fuck.
Nick Cannon was pathetic in the first place, I heard that ***** give a shout out to Kmart on the radio telling me to go on this sale date.

Beef is the same, it's even easier to broadcast it nowadays which helps but the big difference is music changed a lot for the last decade so beef applies differently (negatively) to the masses of buyers so a lotta commercially relevant artists avoid it to the full.

Nick Cannon's thing wasn't beef... Em was molesting a poser whose rap abilities are less than basic. That was a personal thing... not a Hip-Hop thing that supposed to be marketed or placed as a full scale battle.

Remember Old Busta how dope he was before? Like nite and day.
I use to place Busta in the same leauge as Wu Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas, PAC, big etc.

Busta is gonna always be in that league... he's been relevant for so fucking long that I can't even believe it. He started with The leaders of the new school & burned that ATCQ classic Scenario to ashes.
He's easily one of the greatest rappers of all time.

[K Reidy]

Gettin' Em on a song is probably also using up A LOT of your budget

I agree since rappers should be judged by there prime.

He was in his prime for more than a decade I believe... & his longevity overall is fucking insane.
