Eminem is the best of all-time.

I dont think Beastie Boys are so influential and respected as you claim them to be. Plus, you dont think Eminem will be considered a rap legend when he walks away from the mic?

He already is a legend, no doubt. But him being one of the best is debatable.

[LilWayne4Life]

Because he just is. Everyone else sucks

Negative on that.

Quick question:

do you only like white rappers? i see you like asher roth, white rapper avatar and... em

Who's to say which rapper is the best? There are just so many factors, its impossible to determine it. This sentence really gets boring, but I have to say it - IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO PREFFERENCES. It depends on what you like the most in rap.

But to be honest, denying Eminem as ONE of the best....it aint fair. And it aint right.

if any rapper was to die right now, which one could even hold a candle to the amount of press and stir and commotion that Eminem's death would cause? no one.

true but thats besides the point.

I think Relapselp is talking about who is the greatest on the MIC. bar for bar. technically. skills wise. talent wise. etc.

what's wrong with only liking white rappers?

most black people only listen to black rappers anyway.

That was sarcasm, you idiot. Read the Relapse's first post and you'll get it why did I write that.

Plus, I hate Asher Roth. Punk.

It's been proving, most of the best rappers alive and dead are... black,

This is irrelevant. More people would hold candles to Lil Wayne than Nas, because he's more popular nowadays.

I live in Bosnia. There are no black people here, so no black rappers. I have friends that only listen to Bosnian rap. So Lilwayne4life, are these people not into real hip hop? Or....even racists?

1. Those tracks were just examples, but I meant that he's basically touched on everything. Whereas, there's a lot of dope rappers restricted to a certain style, he can be whatever he wants. He can speak on anything because he can tap into Slim Shady, Eminem, or Marshall. Only one fuckin' with him here, probably is 3 Stacks.

2. I didn't mean influence, as in, all of a sudden people will start rapping like him (besides those fake ass clones). Anyway, I don't think anyone has had that big of a influence to make the whole game rap a certain way. The gangsta and mafioso shit was so big because that's what was going on in the streets, not because they heard some rapper spitting about it. I meant he introduced a lot of people to the genre. I don't remember hip-hop ever being as big as it was til the 2000's.

3. His style to me was groundbreaking because of how emotionally fueled his raps were. He made his shitty life his art. A lot of people touched on their struggles, but to me, his subjects were so different than the typical shit. I remember when The Way I Am dropped, sheeeeeeeeet, I knew he wasn't going to go away after that.

Anyway, now that I thought about it, Kanye West probably is closest to Em when it comes to being "new". He opened the door for all these soft, emo rappers. Also, I'm not tryin' to change anyone's opinon, but that's the way I see it. If we were to go piece by piece, we'd never finish, and it'd be pointless because everyone has different reasons to like or dislike a rapper.



AND black people don't just listen to other black people, that's ignorant. Do you know how many black rappers have given props to Em. How many black people do you know, anyway?

[ra1n]

^ lol IN GENERAL, black people only listen to black rappers.

eminem being an exception because he's eminem.

you rarely see black people talking about slug, cage, apathy, r.a. the rugged man, other white rappers.

hm, come to think of it, i wonder how many black people are on this forum

Peeps, Im off to sleep. I expect this topic to be up to 30 pages when I wake up.
