You thought he went crazy on EPMD 2? Jawn was mid to me at best. Eminem had the best verse. You can hear he was trying trying trying his hardest to have the best verse tho, lol, whereas Nas was just in cruise control. Same on Black Republican with Jay-z, Jigga was trying to rap his whole heart out while Nas was like "Yeah, just put the beat on" type shyt. Lol
Nah imma disagree Eminem said too much nonsensical shyt to have the best verse to me. And it’s crazy cause while I don’t think his verse was trash damn near EVERY person I run across in real life absolutely hated his verse. Lol

Conway is not a better lyricist than Nas :dead:

see this the shyt we be talking about
Nas bars don’t make your face scrunch up dude is coasting with a lot of victory lap type bars his shyt is a lot simpler and the production is hitting more

Listen to Westside album almost all them features was rapping at a higher level than Nas

But you know, as a writer yourself, what Eminem was doing to the words on there, lol, he was doing gymnastics on that shyt. I hear you tho, them "try hard" sounding verses always turned me off too. I only recently started really liking his verse on there

This is a total fact. I don't knock him for it though, imo it made the music better

It’s was like rapping to rap type shyt. Lol. The words didn’t mean much. As a writer myself. I see what he was doing and I guess that’s why I wasn’t too impressed with it. Cause writing like that without regard to how ridiculous the bars were was some shyt I was doing back in like 9th grade. Lol. Not saying I was on Em’s level but u get my drift.

Conway isn’t a better lyricist than Nas overall not even close. But if we talking RIGHT NOW. Conway is barring nikkas to death while Nas ain’t even on that type of time. Conway isn’t a better rap artist than Nas right now tho. A cat like Rome Streetz is going crazy right now too bar wise.

Yes and lyrically he ain’t better than current Nas
What’s your evidence?

Highlight these bars and rhetorical devices he utilized and count syllables on some RhymeKing shyt go verse for verse

What Nas line made you rewind oh shyt he really said that :ohhh: :comeon:

The thing is, with that verse, it's one of them occasions where on top of the obviously insane rhyming display, he was actually saying something with it. Trust me, I hate the "rhyming crazy but saying a bunch of nothing" style, that was one of my problems with Banks, and even Royce to an extent. I thought Eminem was actually saying some shyt, if you take the time to listen thru all the rhyming tricks. The punchlines tho, as usual, were corny

Nas said blood like sauce in spaghetti G's, lol, now THATS some shyt we was sayin in 9th grade. That's my guy tho.

Eminem said a whole bunch of nothing. Having the best verse doesn’t just mean you rapped really fast. He cleaned it up towards the end and finished nicely but Nas showed how to be lyrical, make sense, AND do the double time flow

Bro. This nikka Eminem had a Santa Clause, Reindeer and Christmas pun. shyt was some of the worst shyt I ever heard in my life. Lol. If he shortened that verse and left off the corny shyt it would’ve been dope. Nas just floated on it. Em fukked the song up by doing WAY too much. It was just ridiculous for the whole first half of his verse.
