You are offbase listing eminem.
As eminem is the last actualized major label emcee in rap.
I know why Andre is listed and I agree with the Ts on Lauren and dre.
Imo, dre lives off the benefit of pr and overprocessing of la face.
Which probably existed because the point spread for kast was low as TLC and Toni.
So la face could afford to shell out more in marketing dollars and pr to achieve higher sales.
Than they really should have actually garnered skillwise.
Especially when you take into account they are the street biter version of son originally.
Plus are nowhere near as good of emcees are heiro's som originally were.
Did him and big boo ramp up,..yes, I give them credit for that.
Yet and still they existed for reasons past just skill originally.
Imo, I still feel Lauren hill did not write her rhymes in the fugee la period.
As they are also, lifts of nas. In the same vein as was fat joe to mic Geronimo.
Yet she is a female and the female rap game allows leeway the male rap game does not allow.
To the point the real female goat on a major bahamadia.
Is not significantly and rightfully propped.
Plus, we will never know what other female rapper were really great emcees.
As being a female rapper is based on faking jax, ghostwritten aesthetics and physical appearance.
As I know any 13, still to arguably be the best female emcee, ever.
To this day, I feel the Lauren and three thousand mythos is severely overprocessed and needs to be rated completely over.
Plus the facts about her possible songwriters/ghostwriters should he unearthed as well.
Imo, the female rap game created the first opening of fukkery.
To allow the male side of rap to be compromised as well.
As erroneously, in this day and age in general.
we judge the best male rapper by the faking jax games and aesthetics the female rap game wrongly brought into the fold.
Which started back as far as the Roxanne wars in the old school way of thought.
