if Eminem in your top5 DOA then your hip hop pass should be revoked ASAP

[The Blind Man]

Of course...Look at Muhammad Ali.

But on the internet its cool to hate in this current era of Hip Hop so.....the naysayers are more focused on stressing the fall off then the highlights.....Its all in this thread with Em....They also do that to Jay and Nas and Rakim and KRS and LL....But thats where the hate gets exposed because look at Drake,,,he's still in his prime and he gets hate nonstop even when putting out good product......Thats why the naysayers in thsi thread arent really saying anything because in Hip Hop its just trendy to hate online, period.........and its also trendy to hate on those who fell off but had a grand prime.

Again..its a hip hop thing because they dont do that with Muhammad Ali or other Sports legends. They dont do it with actors either. And I say its a Hip Hop thing because look at Pink Floyd....Their music was not what it once was once the 80's hit....But go read those youtube comments...Go read the blogs about Pink Floyd....You would think Pink Floyd never went left.....Hating on the greats is a Hip Hop thing, bottom line.

I hear you.

I am I naysayer because I dont rate him as high as you do? It appears that a lot of fans conflate the two.

Freddie Foxxx said "Cos I hate your punk ass doesnt make you a player"

I would label his as a hip hop great.

But he wouldnt be in my Top 20.

But he only keeps selling and staying afloat cuz Interscope and cuz hes the same complexion as the majority of the music consumer base

LOL.....will u look at this thread?? Do u not see the Em hate?? If Em gets hated on by those who say u should have your Hip Hop pass revoked if u rank Em highly.......then why are u complaining that he has a strong white fan base who isnt focused on such bullshyt??

"Oh they dont love u over there...dont worry bro..we got u"


You dont want him but u complain when a bunch of other people want what u dont.

This thread is a great way of determining who is white

I better not catch you saying the N word

Guilty Conscience was another good one from back in the day

Eminem had a good couple of years there at the start of his career but he's been aside from that for all of his career. And today he's totally washed up. So when people talk about him as one of the goats, that's a massive overrating

Yeah, if he had been able to bounce back and start releasing more albums like the MMLP or The Eminem Show, I don't think people would dump all over his discography. But it's just been a downward spiral since Encore and now it feels like all he raps about is absolutely nothing, save for a few bars in his freestyles.

He's put out good songs since then, but his albums seriously need more quality control. Back then, he had something to prove and he had motivation as the guy everyone was against. Nowadays, he's just rapping because he knows nothing else so what you get is someone with nothing to prove and a lack of focus.

By the way, you heard his "No Favors" verse?

 

[The Blind Man]

Has Em rhymed over all the top producers?

Royce has rhymed over Dilla, Premo, 6th July, Nottz, 9th Wonder, Alchemist even early Kanye.

I cant remember Em dropping a "Boom" or "I'm The King". I would be interested to him snapping on Dilla beat.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

What ? Where did I say that?

no i'm asking you

the answer is cuz they are the biggest rappers ever; besides Nas, but he made Illmatic so you gotta include him

basically Eminem's placement on the GOAT list is mainly a testament of his popularity
and he has that popularity cuz he's white

Music wise he shouldn't be anywhere in the Top 20

 

[ePiffany]

Nah fukk that fam your hip-hop pass is your own, fukk what OP is saying.

Em wouldnt get near my top 20 but I respect any hip hop heads version of a top 20 as long as it follows the simple code, no biting, no ghostwriting.

Em did bite some1, Redman. The same Redman who has worked his azz off for 30 years to get in2 the mainstream but at best is known 2 everyday fans as "Meths sidekick that smokes a lot of weed" Red been spitting 4ever and even Em himself admitted he ain't got shyt on Reggie

 

[ePiffany]

So tf em in a lot of nikkas and hispanins tap 10s as well

From the hood and don't know any nikkas over 13 that hold him in that high regard. We all thought he was dope at that age but u grow up and realize the so called daring shock value rhymes were just immature and done in poor taste

 

[ePiffany]

G rap?
Mos?
Rakim?
Redman ?
Cube?

U trolling right? Every1 of these Brothas got multiple albums that are better than Ems catalogue.

 

[L. Deezy]

I dont know where to rank him honestly. Lets see,

Most successfull rapper in sales.

He's a better lyricist than all of the 80s rappers and most of the 90's rappers.

Has a classic album or two..

I dont know how you can argue with someone saying he's top 5.

He just isnt my cup of tea, so I cant really rank him. I wouldnt argue a person saying he is down over it either

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I don't even think Em is on my top 50 to be honest. If I can't go back to an album by a artists, then most likely they are either overrated or shyt. Em is on the line of overrated and overrated as fukk. He should have stuck with the whole underground Infinite/Slim Shady type of shyt, instead of that "rape women eat brains" type of shyt. Em is a good rapper, but once he portrayed a gimmick and ran it into a ground, it became a wrap.

Bubba Sparxxx>>>>Em

Im not a Em fan, but this is just ridculous.

[ZEB WALTON]

Amazing rapper but his subject matter has left a lot to be desired. His first few albums were great tho. The singlss are ALWAYS corny except for the 8mile shyt. When he came back with relapse and recovery, i thought he was back in good form.

I wasnt feeling MM2 at all tho
