Let's not deny that 2 Chainz is a great rhymer

[Accor]

a mainstream artist doesn't mean a bad artist. even Justin bieber can be a great artist tbh.

drake can drop great things though

cosign

Some of the songs on his newest album are pretty good. I really like Right Here.

Yeah, I really like that one track, "Buried Alive."

sorry but, Eminem is still at the highest level if we talk about technical rap.
Even the half of the rappers will tell you that no one can fuck with Eminem. (50 cent, redman, tech n9ne kendrick lamar, G-unit members, kanye west considered Eminem as the best rapper, and so on)

Thi is pretty hypocritical to say that eminem's rhyming abilities is overrated jsut because almost everybody thinks he's the best. there is a reason if people say you can't fuck with eminem.
he might not have the best discography, he might appear on bad songs such as Slaughter house's songs but when it comes to rap, I still don't know other rappers that can rap better than him. Yes, we can find some competition, yes some artists release better songs while he's releasing something on SH album ... but Eminem is still one of the very very best if not the best "rapper" (doesn't mean he's always the best "artist" though)
Sup with artists like 2 chainz then ? they are superstars becoz no one listen to them ?

[Accor]

People overrate Eminem's rhyming abilities because in his prime there was barely anyone doing it like he did.

Actually, NO. Cause even now, and even before he got famous, THERE'S NO ONE, that has done it as good as Eminem in his prime, SSLP. MMLP and TES are UNMATCHED

idk.. i mean pharoahe monch got that shit on lock

[Willy]

Em was able to rhyme at a masterful level without compromising lyrics. Not overrated at all. It's not about JUST rhyming, you have to look at what the guy is saying too.

[Man1x]

name, you deserve major props on this thread for multiple reasons

No one's trying to match Em's prime...that was the past. There are rappers far beyond Eminem at this point.

But how do 2Chainz's song influence you to change your way of living? You're really like "oh shit i have to beat people up and have big booty hoes" after listening to one of his songs?

Serious question. And also, Justin Bieber can make some great music. Fuck y'all.

2 Chainz's music just makes me happy. "Fun" music I guess if you could call it that, I just like listening to it when (like Man1x said) it's just a fun moment.

I know 2 Chainz might not be the best lyricist out there, but his content is just...fun! Haha.

You love MGK, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

[Accor]

@Man!x I wasn't directing it specifically at you, just thought I'd share my view since the topic was brought up

o and, forgot Lupe Fiasco in my list of great mainstream rappers

Have you heard F&L2?

no, but the Cool and F&L 1 are classics, and Lasers is one of my favorite albums of all time, I will listen to it in the coming days

@Accor: Em >>>>> Pharoahe monch, and I like the dude!

Nah.. I mean, I think Pharoahe Monch has the most complicated rhyme schemes and stuff. Eminem in his prime was probably top 5 in phonetics and sounding like he isn't even rapping while having like 10 syllable rhymes and shit.

What made his music good to me back in the sslp/mmlp days was his wittiness and stuff.

[Man1x]

She got a big booty so I call her big booty

[Trimss]

@Blu. I do understand where you're coming from. I enjoy MGK but I wouldn't say he's a top 5 rapper you know what I mean? I know he's not that great of a rhymer, and that his image could piss people off. But he's definitely in my top 5. The thing is.. He's not a great rapper just because you like him.

[Man1x]

2 Chainz is the 50 Cent of this generation, that's the best way to explain it.

He was shot 9 times?

Poor guy

[Accor]

has nothing to do with this thread but can we all agree that FutureSex/LoveSounds is a goat album

You know what I mean smart ass haha

[King Lance]

no one will ever touch eminem's rap abilities, well, I say no one coz didn't even find someone who could fuck with him since the 90's

Notice I said "rap abilities", I didn't talk about him as an artist
While some people can give you a fucking nice flow, a very fast flow or some incredible rhymes, Eminem can bring everything on a single song, except that it doesn't always sound great on the beat or the whole song might not be enjoyable, but please, let's not lame Eminem's skills


and 50 has already reached the classic line in the past, 2 chainz will never do that imo
