nah its a legit question

eminem uses more wordplay and metaphors and has more complex rhyme schemes than cube and Pac correct?

Em's rhyme schemes aren't as complex as people make them out to be. His wordplay is usually childish and imo only came correct on 2 albums out of however many he has now. What Em verses are you saying are better than Pac or Cube? How the fukk did Ice Cube get into this anyway :dahell:
Where does this notion come from that Pac didn't use metaphors?Pac was a poet and has a ton of more complex verses and rhyme schemes than Em does.

Instead of beating around the bush just come out and make your point already

Same here. It leaves me dumbfounded and astonished when I see his name brought up in them discussions. I was watching the Chris Rock round table discussion a few days ago and he was mentioned a few times there too. There is no way someone could play 10 hot Kanye verses then play 10 hot verses from any the names I've saw in this thread and convince me Kanye is more skilled. I used to be a big fan and ain't even a hater I liked MBDTF but it's just being real and an insult to the many,many more talented rappers out there who deserve a mention over him. The Kanye dikkriding is what makes threads like this necessary :salute:



kanye & jay-z have co-producer credits in chris rock's new movie.

thats what that was all about.

thats why i never take a rapper/celebrity cosign at face value.

Plus since Chris Rock is on the album he most probably got a pay off or gets some royalties for it, unless it's just ego, wanting to be on "the greatest album in the history of music".

I think Kanye has much more claim to having some of the worst albums in the history of Hip Hop than the best.

Based off the work they have put out yes. Have you heard Canibus recent work? He's doing things nobody else has ever or will ever do again. Canibus may have a lot of faults but he takes his pen game very seriously. Pac was crafting classics in 20 minute sessions between filming Hollywood movies and smashing A list celebrities. You need to come better than this. @StillNotSoft can probably swat this stupid comparison much more eloquently than I could though

I agree Canibus is better than Pac as a technical lyricist even though his music was always wack to me:mjlol:....Not sure how you and @blackslash got into that discussion,i gotta go back and read the thread:patrice:...I am confused why you don't put Eminem over Cube and Pac in the technical category though?makes me wonder if we got the same ideal of lyricism on a technical level:ohhh:

Id say the Canibus comparison is irrelevant with Pac bcuz we all know Pacs aim wasn't to be a super lyrical dude....the line kinda gets blurred with Kanye I think due to him being the protégé of one of the greatest lyricist of all time with Jay,and comin up in that Roc camp that was all straight lyrical nikkas:banderas:,and also the nikkas in his camp have been beast....But I don't think being the most lyrical is his aim either,id compare him to Pac on the level weve send them deliver very technically dope verses at a high leve but its not the end all be all for either.

Difference is theres shyt with Pac like voice,alliteration,delivery,emotion,rawness that you cant dispute he's one of the best at that wow you on his classics:mjcry:....Cant say the same for Kanye:heh:....then when you get into content he don't do the deep shyt,real shyt,hard shyt,floss raps at a high level either....if you don't get absolutely moist over dudes production I don't see how you cant be left unfulfilled listening to Kanye:patrice:...if you do then yeah he's very serviceable as a emcee I guess:manny:
