Melle Mel on Eminem: He's top 5 cause he's white, if he was black he'd be average

Don't insult them breh.
If he was black he’d be Gift of Gab, Chino XL, or Tech 9
That’s not a bad thing
That’s the lane he belongs in
Not in consideration as the best to ever make hip hop music

So will the fans who heard the tape with the slur, and act as if they never heard it.Cacs gonna be angry at the truth
Em is one of my personal favorites obviously and I would not have him top 5 on any overall/'objective' all time list, that's too high. Top 20 at absolute worst all things considered IMO, more around 10-15 for me.
But Em > Busta on several levels, you ain't gotta bring sales into it really. Melle Mel too while we're at it.

If Em was black he wouldn't get so much disrespect
It’s on site with Trevor but you out your damn mind.
That nikka has had a major impact in every decade of hip hop since LONS first hit.
He set several trends, was on so many legendary records (was one of the main reasons they were legendary), and he probably has the most disrespected catalog in hip hop history.
The singles were large but always paled in comparison to the album cuts.
That’s where he really shined.
Not negating that. I'm one of the few on here that has campaigned for ELE to be acknowledged as at least a really good album if not a borderline classic. His impact cannot be denied.
But as someone who listened and still listens to both very frequently, I would give Em the edge in a lot of catagories artistically.
Top of my head, avoiding singles and obvious picks, favorite song by each right now:
I love both of these songs, the latter is seamless rapping, song writing, story telling and something that hits me on an emotional level. Redman is not only one of his main influences, but a much better comparison because without the white privliage, super pristine catalog or particularly substanative subject matter (i'd say Em has more), he is still pretty consistently thrown out there in top 20, sometimes top 10's.
8 mile road is a top 5 em song
