Fact: The title of this thread is completely false. It's a complete load of bullshit to even make the statement. No music is confined to a certain genre of music, I don't care if blacks started hip hop, and I don't give a fuck if they started rock as well. You can't possibly tell me that in...
I'd have to disagree with you there. He's a very good lyricist; often underrated. His subject matter is also not always about money. He has shown that he can write songs that aren't money related such as Good Morning. I'd say he should be rated a bit more like this (although there are only a few...
Eminem gets the awards because he puts out music that deserves awards. Love The Way You Lie addresses an issue effectively that has plagued our society for I don't know how many years now. Hundreds. It's a good song regardless. Eminem could sell anything with his lyrics. Ross is nowhere near...

Tech is starting to get some mad recognition now. MTV loves playing the shit out of his Gates Mixed Plate stuff, especially O.G. and KC Tea. He's one of the best definitely though. He's got one of the best flows in the game, and can put lyrics together easily. He's definitely in my top 5 with...
LeBron is the top player in the NBA. That's why he's basically going to get the MVP handed right to him. He's putting up MVP numbers. 30 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game and 8.4 assists per game, with at least a block and steal. Carmelo loves the jump shot too much, the guy has explosive...
Well, it's NBA Live, for one thing. NBA 2K10 has much more realism, jsyk.
Derek Fisher isn't a bad player. He's 35. And he's a 4-time NBA Champion, which says something. No, he isn't the best scorer or passer, but he knows how to make the Lakers excel. He, just like every other member of the...
Do we have the biggest Em hater in the IC? I think so. You're calling a dude from the ghetto of Detroit a redneck? That's the bullshit stereotype of white people right there. So, you complain about Em being a closet racist, but yet you go and say shit about a white dude yourself. That completely...
Em haters need to seriously shut the fuck up. The dude is still better than your favourite rapper, so you decide to still hate. Silly fucks. Nobody matches Em lyrically.
It's no problem, I mean, a lot of my influences are 90's hip hop too, like Wu-Tang, Pac, Biggie of course. Though, a lot of it nowadays is underground hip hop. Artists like Tech N9ne, Immortal Technique, Necro, Ill Bill, La Coka Nostra, etc.
Well, hip hop was the first music I gained huge exposure to, and after listening to it as a kid, I just really wanted to be the dude's rapping the songs. Like, Eminem influenced me more than anything.
