Crook’s Corner Podcast Exclusive Interview With Eminem

[Deltron]

But his discography after his 1st 2 albums are all over the place.

and Eminem's isn't?

you take your stanery to the next level

 

[Harry B]

I don’t think there’s a more calculated rapper than Em, besides maybe Drake. These dudes will never allow anyone to get them out of their comfort zone on camera. Can’t say I blame them tho

I don't know how calculated you are if you just don't fukk with industry people and you're big enough to do whatever the fukk you want.

But Crooked I interviewing Em, is worse than Bleek interviewing Jay. Slaughterhouse minus Royce dikkriding level is on that other level and developed when dudes were 30

 

[Evil Grandson]

Yep. It is.

No it isn't. Nas has been more consistent. I like Em more but Nas has a better discography

 

[FreshAIG]

Salute...tho I'd say Jay-z incorporated the multi-syllable shyt a little more than you give him credit for, him and Nas both do/did but they don't do it so straight-forwardly all the time like Eminem/Cassidy/Dizaster/etc does, their shyt be a lot slicker and more scattered and harder to notice. To me being able to put syllables together is wild easy, even flipping the ones that aren't just at the end of the bars, all the internals and even the backwards ones (I've heard Nas do it like this madd times), but that's just me. Simple wordplay is probably on that same level, but really intricate, double/triple/quadruple entendres and making whole verses/songs a metaphor for something else and it makes perfect sense even if you didn't know it was a metaphor for something else and shyt like that gets the brain neurons firing way more, imo. Like when someone is freestyling, a really great freestyler can give you multis, but he most likely can't give you no fire wordplay, unless he's lying and it's not really a freestyle, lol. Yeah, Lupe, Los, Lux, madd other battle rappers, etc... they all can do both well, that's why I consider rappers like them the best.

I definitely feel you. I jut didn't want to undermine the ability of internal rhyme schemes and multi-syllabic rhyming. So do you put guys like Syzoo and Joe Budden as superior lyricist to Black Thought and Elzhi? Because I don't. That's why it's hard for me to say one style is more lyrical than the other, universally. I feel it's a case by case thing.

 

[HiiiPower]

lord have mercy

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Wouldn't expect u to fukk with Illmatic, but whatevs. I stand by what I said.

Its a few 5mic album's from thst era where u listen today and u like

 

[swerve]

The Nas discrediting going on in this thread is just as ridiculous as some as the Eminem discrediting going on here

some of y'all can't be objective for shyt

 

[mobbinfms]

Illmatic is overrated.

Overrated how?
Are you saying Eminem has made an album better than Illmatic?

 

[mobbinfms]

The rest after that is He has just as many misses than Em.

In terms of misses, Nas has:

1. Nastradamus
2. Streets Disciple
3. HHID
4. Nasir

Eminem has:

1. Encore
2. Relapse
3. Recovery
4. MMLP2
5. Revival
6. Kamikaze
7. Music to be murdered by

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Overrated how?
Are you saying Eminem has made an album better than Illmatic?

No. But its not a perfect album. What Im saying is I'll give u his 1st 2 albums, but after that his shyt is just as inconsistent as Em

Yeah. All of those are not misses by Em.

 

[mobbinfms]

Stillmatic is overrated trash breh. Its like 3 or 4 songs on that shyt thats goes.

Eminems best albums are better than illmatic. And for the record I consider Nas to be better than Eminem. But his discography after his 1st 2 albums are all over the place. Again Relapse is better than any Nas album after iww.

Relapse was garbage.
So now Eminem has multiple albums better than Illmatic?

 

[mobbinfms]

No. But its not a perfect album.

Wait. So are you saying Eminem has a better album than Illmatic or not?

 

[mobbinfms]

Yeah. All of those are not misses by Em.

Which ones aren't misses?
