all these albums youre listing aren't special. some aren't even good. watch the throne? distant relatives?
Nas' output while in his prime was shaky.
you listed the albums that were in 2pac's prime. he was just a rare case that hit his prime later.

Dude makes corny songs but it’s more than obvious what he’s capable of skill wise
Rakim rarely releases albums. He's only released two albums during the entirety of Eminem's career. Why would he care about Eminem's "rabid fanbase" when they wouldn't even acknowledge Rakim? Furthermore, no rapper has lost a fan base going at Eminem.

Its not a question of whether he can rap, put words together, ride a beat, etc. These are all things that can't be denied. What has kept him from putting out "that album" has been artistic direction. He hasn't gotten that from Dr. Dre in years (given all of Dre's ventures outside of music, and his own self-doubting about his own material), Rick Rubin oversaw his worst projects, and while he is highly regarded in music....it just wasn't a good pairing.
Having someone be the executive producer of a project, overseeing everything, helping to pick out the tracks, album art, marketing, etc.....people tend to overlook the importance having someone like that is.
Having the longevity, experience and clout that Em has earned throughout his career, sure he should be able to put a project together himself.....but some people like him need direction from the right executive producer. Not having that.....and having yes-men tell him everything is all good has hurt his legacy.
He has it in him, but unless he puts his faith in the first person to coach him in the booth.....we'll keep coming back to this argument.

Eminem's lyricism is something alot of people could replicate if you paid them to be a lyrical miracle not saying anything ass nikka honestly.
There are alot rappers with the same technical skills, rhyme showing display as Em if not have a couple of songs of them doing it
If they were paid or decided to be in that lane, what Em does they prolly do it better especially the Jays, Nas's, etc

Yet Eminem has 0 quotables
You're almost right. Lose Yourself has several quotables and is probably Eminems most important song. I remember a lot of people coming around on Em at that time.

I always thought Em was a blonde version of Big Pun, it’s obvious he was influenced by him especially from the horrorcore content they both rap about.
Pac dropped in 91.
