Anyway, here's another. And I can find more if you want to keep embarrassing yourself.

No, that was the first thing I listened to - the Tech N9ne song is pretty much unintelligible, like most Tech N9ne songs. He mentions "2K" and he mentions 97. You're making a big assumption in assuming that him maybe saying something futuristic about "97" means it must have been made before 1997.

This shit is meaningless drivel.
And regardless, this is irrelevant unless the song leaked/was released prior to Eminem writing Role Model in 1998. This song was reportedly unreleased. An unreleased song by an underground rapper = Eminem couldn't have heard it until it was released/leaked. If it leaked sometime in 1999, too late.
Another poster already mentioned the Brotha Lynch Hung song. Released fall of 1997. While it's possible Eminem heard it before writing Role Model, again...it's not the same as Nas using it in a famous single 2-3 years after the most famous rapper in the world had used it in a song that was featured in a music video. We KNOW Nas, Masta Ace, and Justice had all heard Eminem using the rhyme schemes mentioned in this thread. We really have no idea whether Eminem heard either of the aforementioned tracks. If they thought of the rhyme before he did, they deserve credit for that...but it's not the same as blatant influence/unintentional biting.
And if it wasn't clear before, since you apparently leaped to your own conclusions about my intent - I wasn't starting this thread to criticize the rappers who bit Eminem's rhyme schemes. I'm a fan of the guys I've referenced in this thread so far...except for Organik, whom I'm indifferent towards. My point was simply to point out Eminem's influence.
Your argument that they're all picking from the same pool of words is asinine. If another rapper ever rhymes "intertwinin with gangsters" and "sinner's mind is a sanctum," and doesn't give proper credit, he should be absolutely ashamed of himself. These 3-syllable multis might be mere coincidence, but comparing it to hitting the same fucking note in a song is just ridiculous.
