Em not being the GOAT has nothing to do with him being white. The reason a white rapper can't be the GOAT is not skin color, it's because Nas/Big/Pac/Jay/Rakim/Scarface/KRS/etc exist. They've yet to produce anyone better than them and to be frank? Never will.

Em isn’t the GOAT because he doesn’t have the music to back up his claims. Him being white is irrelevant. His music fell off significantly after Encore. And even his good stuff is cringe and hard to listen to in 2024. He has an argument for being top 10-20 all time. But GOAT? No.

Top 50 at best. 10-20 he won’t make my list. I’d put a lot of other artist who haven’t sold half or most what he sold on that list just off plain skill and not being cringey like the majority of his music.

Exactly how I feel… his claims are mostly based on his mastery of patterns and flows.. his first three albums are the only ones (and they were above 4/5 for me) are the only ones even above 3/5…



If a person who loves hip hop, no matter color, should know albums in hip hop, and know impact.. that em should never be your top 8.. his catalog and artistic output, clearly states that, that it doesn’t match
