Fat Joe & Papoose Defend Eminem After Melle Mel Criticism: 'You Can't Deny That Skillset'

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

as a peer, Canibus was hotter than Em at one point and got there with an easier rode traveled. He didn't have black radio/club support. Just ran into the misfortune of being mismanaged. Em's rhyme book/skills were sharpened in black neighborhoods, if you rhymed in the city during that time you knew who Em was, crossed paths or at least was aware.

Im really not understanding what you’re getting at nor do I give a fukk

All I know is Eminem made his money making weird Al yankovic music for Z100 and that puts him in his own
Special category

I like how Chuck D worded his description of him. He was so far ahead of his time that no one even tried to keep up with him. But when the game did catch up it was off to the races. Mel himself dont seem to understand that

I’m sorry, but Mel’s 1985 skill set in 1994 NYC was the MINIMUM. It was supposed to be cause things are supposed to evolve, but he can’t keep fronting like what he built wasn’t surpassed by others

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

There's a reason I dont have a single Eminem album in my extensive music collection library, only a few loosies like When Im Gone, Superman and Stan. His music was elevated by his white privilege and all his shyt aged terribly

 

[NYtymes]

Em maybe top 20, his music aged like milk .
Yes sure he is skilled but there are many other spitters that i would rank higher regardless of lack of commercial success

 

[Budda]

Why I don’t see these rappers ever sticking up for Mos Def Common Ras Kass and a host of technically skilled rappers in the same way

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MEL ALREADY SAID RAKIM TOOK
THE GAME TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

Mel gave birth to Run, Chuck, KRS, and Rakim, who gave birth to every single emcee that started rapping after ‘86.

You can trace each style directly back to at least one of them, with the exception of E-40, who is the only emcee to create his own style of rapping completely independent from that tree and went on to create his own tree.

Fat Joe and Papoose are industry controlled, we don’t give a fukk what they have to say.

Disrespecting Mel is like converting to Christianity then dissing the Apostle Paul while he was still alive because he didn’t like your pastor.

Addict Eminem - Top 5 of all time

Drug free Eminem - Bottom 5 of all time

Encore was during his peak drug use tho

He just wasn't hungry anymore after 8 Mile/TES

 

[King Sun]

100% guarantee you both pap and joe don't liaten to em either.

 

[Elim Garak]

It might be hard to swallow for some of yall (pause), but the only place Eminem really catches hate like that is on TheColi.com, lol. If this place is your world then you may really be genuinely surprised when you hear all the rappers and everybody else salute Eminem so much and say he's Top 5-10 and all that. On the Coli he aint even Top 50,

Nah that's not true. Anytime you are popular you will have damn near as many haters as people that like you. It's the price you pay when you get to the top of the game.

Don’t y’all get tired of saying the same shyt about Em everyday?

He was a broke degenerate who wanted to kill himself before he was plucked by Dre and Interscope.

Y’all love circle jerking about his music aging terribly when this discussion is specifically his skillset. There are mad rappers who are technically gifted whose music y’all don’t like. Joe Buddens music was unmixed emo trash to me but I could never deny how phenomenal an emcee he is.

Again, have fun trying to rewrite history. Music aged terribly but he is still one of the most gifted rappers ever. Get over it lol.

Quite a few rappers have took up for Ras and Common.

Mos sabotaged himself

 

[Rasille]

They should let eminem fight his own battles.

Billboard didn't call. Budden top 5 is the difference.
Em can ryme but his music is trash. There are literally 100s of rappers like that. But he is the only 1 in the top 5. The others aren't.
