What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
Rakim said a couple years ago that he produced about 80% of his songs. "Juice (Know the Ledge)" was all him. Eric B. handled a lot of the business from my understanding.

Pac my GOAT but 92-93 Pac was not fukkin with 00-01 Eminem
There’s some who could compete and maybe even win but not most on that list
He made a whole song dedicated to us, we just be showing our appreciation
Lyricism is the main thing when I say “skills”
Em at his best can compete with any rapper in their prime
I ain’t even saying he for sure would be better but even those who might win ain’t winning by much
Far as the thread go, this the first time I’m hearing Rakim and EB being described as a group
To me a group is when more than one person rapping on a regular basis. Wouldn’t consider Kast and Mobb Deep groups, they’re duos but I can see them being in the category. But one dude doing pretty much all the rapping ain’t a group imo.

And weird how you specifically chose to put 92-93 pac against 00-01 em
Cause you know 96 pac is greater than em whole career
Tbh that period, especially the makaveli stuff, is underrated lyrically
Wasn't all Hennessey and enemies like people portray sometimes
But you bugging if you think redman, busta, ghost and lupe ain't at least competing with em
I put them all over eminem, but saying they don't deserve to be mentioned is wild
I ain’t putting any rapper above 94-96 PacShow me an eminem verse fukking with ghostface's verse on impossible

And I respect all them you named as artists/lyricists but I’m putting Em above all of them. Not saying he’d embarrass them but I don’t see how they’re beating prime Em.
And you right I meant to to say 99-00 Em, I went with 00-01 because those were his 2nd and 3rd year(after his major label debut) like 92-93 was for Pac.

Disqualified when you said ghost face who has and had a gw period. No cape no cap.
Plus lupe who never left the house to rhyme and whole technical rubrick.
Eminem mastered like a whole half a decade.
before lupe was even released as far as biting Nas and az as their skillset.
Redman already ate em bar to bar. Which is simple because em got his rubrick as slim shady from biting red and parrish. Busta and red were solidified half a decade before em. Would even bite Nas and AZ well enough to be considered astute. Yet culturally awry biting.
The only reason the discussion needs to go a bit further to put Busta and red skill metric higher than Eminem. Is Busta is a protege of the bomb squad and developed his own rubrics in house. Plus red is a protege of k solo and ramped under epmd's banner.
Which occurred in originality and skill half a decade before Eminem was astute from a timeperiod where ever toy bit Nas and AZ purposefully. Then thought people were gonna give a pass.
We are not and also. How dare you nighaz not ever mention juice in any discussion where Eminem name come tha fukk up. Is a disservice and some culture thief shyt entirely.
So kill the whole purveyor of cool shyt you toys are on. As it is obvious you a sheltered homebodies and do nOt know hipjop culture to be speaking out of turn. That goes for any and all of youse.
Stop the cap.
If you are not a bboy and not an emcee.
Stfu trying to compare emcees when you do nOt know what being an emcee is. Let alone are not an actualized skilled culture based emcee.
