Jon Connor - The Way I Am

Keeps the same flow as Em. Goes in, but doesn't do the original justice. Good effort though.

Tape drops April 13th.

Oh. Fucking. Shit. This was nice. Em really needs to collab or sign this guy or something. He's great.

Paul wouldn't say shit to Em about it because he only likes money...unfortunately Jon Connor isn't exactly a money machine.

He's dope but should rap over original beats, he won't be able to compare to the originals of the Jay or Eminem songs he's rapping over. For me, Eminem's verse overshadows his on these songs and I don't end up remembering the verse even though it's dope, Eminem's and Jay's verse just overshadow his in all forms IMO. He can only try to get close, and he does, but I wished he'd do an original song. I guess this gets him noticed, dope shit anyway.

Nas overshadows Elzhi in every way possible, but Elmatic was still something great, I love these kinda projects tbh


I do too but I wouldn't feel good being overshadowed if I were Jon Connor

^^^But it's exposing him to new fans & he gets to pay tribute to one of his hero's. So it's all good for him I'm sure.

TR rapper raps over eminem beat = YOU SUCK

Jon Connor raps over eminem beat = YOUR AWESOME

I love logic :laughing:

Woah, we're did those last two come from. I agreed it's exposing him but I'm just saying what I rather do, it's his career let him do what he wants and I won't hate. I enjoy these drops I'm just saying he will be over shadowed and a TR rapper could destroy a eminem beat but I haven't seen it yet and have not brought it up, and Jon Connor has done amazing so far.

That last part was just me talking about the forum, not directed at u lol

The main reason TR rappers should never cover eminem beats, is lack of skill.

He killed it, but it just doesn't feel like he did because Em was just on another level with this song.

Still, I liked it enough to check more of his stuff.
