Michael Rapaport says Nas Isn't the Worst Beat Picker, Eminem Is

[Formerly known as...]

Kinda true in a way. Eminem needs to go back to working with the Bass brothers. They gave him the best beats for his first 2 albums.

 

[Kenyan West]

People always say Em needs to go back to the Bass Brothers, but what have they been doing since the early days of his career? Beautiful on Relapse? They might fit that slim shady persona, but he's not in that groove consistently anymore.

i aint a huge Eminem fan... who are the Bass Brothers and what are some of the songs they produced for Em?

 

[Vandelay]

has cacinem made a better song in the past 10 years?

Sidebar...Tyrese has popped up in the weirdest places over the years.

He's like the RnB Busta Rhymes

Neither is the worst, but between Them, Em is the worser picker post Marshal Mathers LP

 

[Abstract83]

fukk his cac opinion on anything

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Nas is my favorite rapper but u gotta be some super stan to say this shyt.

street disciple had weak production all over it. I only fux with 4 songs on the second disc "self titled track, remember the times, War, and Thief Themes"

You obviously lack.reading comprehension skills

Didn't you see where I said I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS BEAT SELECTION..CAUSE KM FOCUSED IN HIS LYRICS??

HIS BARS ARE TOO DOPE FOR ME TO EVEN BE CONCERNED WITH THAT

And it was a Quan/LES song first that nas hopped on. Still a great song tho.

No Em picks awful beats consistently.

 

[Heelish]

production team that worked with Em heavily...any non dre song on SS/MM LPs was pretty much them, minus Stan.

 

[NotaPAWG]

And we care what he thinks (although I agree) why?

what do you mean “we”? you’re not black either

 

[Piff Perkins]

Eminem needs to get the Bass Brothers back more than Dre.

Honestly even the Bass Brothers stuff is suspect to me in hindsight. Their bass and drums just sound so lifeless to me now.

Eminem is a terrible producer who also has very lifeless beats. The drums have no rhythm and instead kinda just feel like someone pushing the kick button, now the snare button. The piano stuff either sounds like a child playing saloon music (The Cross) or some attempt at classical music that just sounds corny (Mockingbird).

Nas has rapped over some terrible beats and I definitely agree he has one of the worst ears of any legend...but Em is way worse. You can put on multiple Nas tracks from 1994-2012 and move a party from the beat alone. Can't do that with Em at all...

You know Em's beats are trash when nobody ever freestyles to any of them aside from 50 on 'Til I Collapse. His style has also never influenced another producer or rapper's sound either. To me, these are signs that the music is not only poor, but inorganic. Nas has beats from 1996 people still rap to in 2017.
