Eminem and 'Dre literally lifted Masta Ace' Blueprint for an MC and whitewashed him.
- Thread starter CELL
- Start date
How did he get away with this. The flow, the lyrics, the swagger. Only thing Eminem did was wear silly costumes. Granted some of these are post-Em but you catch the point...
how does this relate to anything eminem?

Em was clearly influenced, to the point I'd say biting.
I'm not even discrediting Em as an MC because technically he's very gifted and for a minute he made good music. It's however worth noting because Ace doesn't get anywhere near enough plaudits for being an A list MC.

:umad?:
so he went frm biting AZ's style to Masta Ace's style. 
- Em will tell you himself Ace is one of his big influences, Dre had nothing to do with it.
- “The first time somebody said to me that they thought Eminem sounded like me, I personally didn’t hear that,” Ace explained to Montreality.com. “To me he sounded unique…he sounded like nobody that I had ever heard before.
“We all influence each other,” Ace added. “I listen to many different rappers. And sometimes I hear something in somebody’s flow that gives me an idea for how I wanna flow on my next joint…If it was something he took from me, he flipped it and made it his.” - Masta Ace

You all are getting out of hand with thisWould you admit in an interview someone sounds like you? Every rapper wants to sound unique, every rapper wants to have their own sound and own flows. Em used Aces point blank. We can ping pong arguments all night but it's clear to see.

They only started sounding similar around Aces Disposable Arts/Long Hot Summer era, which is after Eminem already came out. I honestly dont hear any similarities between Em and Aces earlier work from Take a look around to SOC, and I cant stand Em either. 
Why would it be a problem to admit that when em already said he was a influence?
And like I said...DA came out AFTER MMLP, and he said out of his own mouth that he lifted from that album and payed "homage" to it on DA. You can hear it in the opening line of the track I posted. Thing is real artists understand that inspiration is an ebb and flow process.
Em was influenced by slaughtahouse and Ace was influenced by Em's early shyt, by his own admission.

Yea it seemed like a mutual influence rather than one way.
That's why when i put some people on irl to Masta Ace, they fukks with Disposable Arts and ALHS alot
You know....all this talk about "if em was black"..i'd say he'd be a cross between Elzhi and Ace
