Why Isn't Eminem Considered ...?

[Tash8]

a legend?

will he become a legend?

[pawel]

first of all, have you heard many other rappers? do you know Rakim or Nas well, just to name 2. there are many and many more good rappers around, Eminem is not the only one. I don't know if you have heard many more rappers, but first listen to more then just Eminem, 50Cent or other commercial rappers...

I have listened to Jay-Z and NAs and i think they are really good too, but i'm just saying like no one considers him the best, theirs a lot of people that consider jay-z the best and nas the best.

asprine said it the best

when eminem becomes your favourite rappers favourite rapper - then he may have a chance at being the best, but right now he aint even in top 5


what has he did for rap ?

nothing new nothing extrodinary, just good music

[Ethos]

actually many people consider nas and jay z living legends.

eminem is just one of the best. he will never be able to be labeled "The" Best. and he even said that he might not even be a living legend at all.

what has he done for rap?

are you kidding me, he changed the whole way to look at rap.. cause so many people can relate to him, he got people into hiphop..

I know he isn't considered in the top 5, that's why i'm asking this question.. maybe it's cuz he's not a gangster rapper or sumtin.

there isnt a list off stuff that needs to get done, when they do something legendary they become a legend its the only way to explain it

[Tash8]

do you even know who they are ? they dont need to be named and listed, you have obviously never listened to anyone outside shady/aftermath

[Tash8]

one thing that struck me, is when i listened to Renegade by Eminem and Jay-Z. They both killed it on that track but for some reason one is a legend and the other is not

and heres the thing, i dont care if eminem is a legend or not i'm just wondering why he isn't i'm just trying to get some opinions to why he is or why he isn't.

and also to be honest, Biggie and 2pac only became legends after they died.. same with proof, people only started like him after they died.. so another question is if eminem just got shot and killed will their be even more dick riders and all the sudden everyone will consider him a legend?

i agree wid bad nd etc he is amazin buh dad dond make him amazin!!( wid two exclamation marks), he hasn't done anithin out of the ordinary buh i sorda think the industrie sorda racist

[Tash8]

wtf i dont think i got a word of that

[AspirinE]

Theres no such thing as "best" ...

get over it.



I really don't know how to put it plainer. Each rapper contributes to their time, and each is worth remembering (if hes good).

Hip Hop is not a competition or a pop chart, its music of the people, and the people have no identical tastes.



Jay z lol, seems to me like you just compared the only rappers you know.
