Eminem is nowhere near my top 10.

I've never played an Eminem album, outside the Eminem Show, more than twice, IN LIFE.

Rap is about shared references. You can tell the blacks who grew up closer to whites, because

they feel Em. To those who grew up in a stereotypically "black" background, the shit he raps

about might as well be Chinese.


That's not a diss to my niggas Stew or Sion neither, but, a lot of niggas don't understand yall putting Em

in the goats list, like how whites don't understand how Trayvon Martin was considered to be criminally murdered by most niggas.

THe lack of understanding comes from being from two different perspectives/world views.

I didnt see this earlier. This is what im sayin. Its no disrepect to all the black Emimem fans, Lol But i just dont get it.

Like for example, Im a Jay fan. i occaisionally go back and listen to Reasonable Doubt. Im a Nas fan, i can play Illmatic right now. If you're a grown Eminem fan, soooo, how does that work? How do you go back and listen to 'chica chica slim shaady. Hi! My name is!'. Eh? You cringed just now, didnt you? You grown now, you not a rebellious teen, how do you rock wit his rebellious teen content?

And you know how you rap along to a song at home/in the club and get in ya little rhythm? You rap the words like u the one wrote it. Yall know what i mean! So how does one---a black man--- rap along to 'I AM , whatever u say i am!' or 'Please stand up, please stand up'? Like how does that even work. I dont get it.

You trying to hard to come off all knowledgable but continue to make yourself look like an idiot.

I mean you do know where the hook from The Way I Am comes from right without Googling it.

I dont know or associate with any nggas that rock out to Eminem, b. Thats the bottom line. If you black and you dont acknowledge this i tip my hat to you, but we cut from a different cloth. This is not a debate irl. And i hate havin debates online, that are not topics irl

There you have you it, instead of coming up with dumb ass reasons to Big Up Jay which is easily destroyed with-anyone with common sense and actual knowledge of hiphop.

A simple I don't like/listen to Em cause he's white and I'm black was all that is needed.

Cause everything else you posted was complete bullshit
.

You close your eyes and zone out to 'Just Lose It'. *Tips cap*. Enjoy the rest of your day fam. nh

Step up the debate skills and overall hiphop knowledge instead of talking out ya ass cause you will get called on the bullshit.

See, you try to disregard nggas politely but they take kindness for weakeness.

Ngga you aint callin out shyt. Doesnt matter how far this culture has moved from its origin, its still THE CULTURE. And if you, im assuming a black man, willfully disregard cultural aspects of hip hop just b/c white america and white teens tell you, kill yourself.

According to white america Iggy Azalea is a pop rap icon, Maclemore > Kendrick Lmar, Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz are representative of black america.

In other words, when when i discuss things on this site, im asuming im amongst commoners. I dont dicuss includign their opinion. They not of my culture. So why would their opinion matter when 'we' discuss the Goats in 'our' shyt. Eminem not bein a Goat isnt b/c he's white. He's not a goat b/c his catalogue is corny, he's corny, white or black. In fact 'corny' is a designation white america cant even make! They dotn know how to differentiate. Thats why Flo-Rida to them is an icon lls So no, im not gonna play dumb like hip hop culutre is not selective.

I have been speaking on Hip Hop Culture and more specific rap music, a lot of the reasons you gave throughout this thread as to why Jay is bigger than Em had nothing to do with either.

Yet all this talk about culture you still don't where the Hook " The Way I Am Comes from.

Since Jay return there a reason Euro Jay gets thrown around, what culture he been rapping about? Folks in The hood and most urban areas are not wearing Tom Ford.

You made reference to that song and in relation to be grown men in clubs knowing his shit.

Retarded logic 1.. Em is not and never been a club/party rapper

2. To play the grown man cringing in the club angle..Any grown ass mature man that is not a ignant cat wouldn't co-sign shit like Hey Papi, Big Pimpin either.

1. If Em has never been a club/party rapper what was The Real Slim Shady/Without Me/Just Lose It all about? Those songs seemed like they were made for white people at nightclubs. But I can't really say because I don't go to clubs where whites frequent. I know damn well if a DJ played one of those records at a Black club he'd get run out of the DJ booth before the record was over.

2. You're buggin about Big Pimpin, that's a classic club anthem. And I'm a 40 year old Black American.

Fail 1. Those arent club records.

Fail 2. The point went over your head.. To be more specific you playing big pimping in front of ya moms, wife/gf or better yet ya daughter.

Shit you ya daughters date come thru to pick her up and he blasting saying this..

"You know I - thug em, fuck em, love em, leave em

Cause I don't fuckin need em

Take em out the hood, keep em lookin good

But I don't fuckin feed em

First time they fuss I'm breezin

Talkin bout, "What's the reasons?"

I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch"

Cause as grown mature adults with common sense aint co signing that ignant bullshit.

Nosign. That's how we do. We take cruises, drive around in fly cars(even if they're rented), vacations in exotic places. Maybe not on the level that Jay Z was doing it but when you reach adulthood you start living that life.

Lemme guess, you still live at home with your mama?

For a 40 Year old cat you clearing lack common sense and reasoning...again you missed the point as it went over your head. All you that shit you said has nothing to do what Big Pimping is about in Jay-z verses...simply put it about him pimping hoes. Jay-z himself won't be playing Big Pimping in front of Blue Ivy anytime soon.

Your retorts and arguments are weak. I been took cruises and traveled worldwide since before I was 18. In a few weeks I take my annual Vegas trip consists of fucking broads I recruit for my friends website..

Sit ya old ass down somewhere.

Bottom Line, Jay Z's rhymes in Big Pimpin were every man's fantasy. Not only every man's fantasy but every women's fantasy too. Every women wants a guy who has lots of money and is willing to spend it on the lavish life. And if your daughter has the looks, chances are she'll be getting down with a guy like that when she reaches the age that the girls of the Big Pimpin video.

I'll explain the pimp game to you; Any college age (like the girls in the Big Pimpin video) girl wants to shake her ass, exploit men and share the money with a nigga that has game and knows how to control her. That's what girls want. Girls are submissive by nature and men are dominant by nature. Girls want a man to take charge and dominate her. But its weak niggas like you that hate on the pimps and players. Next thing you'll probably type that Jay Z's lyrics are misogynistic. GTFOHWTBS

 
Its clear despite you being 40, your really not grown nor a mature adult, still with the High School mindset. I don't deal with dumbass girls, I deal with women who handle they business.

Yet you don't know the difference between player and pimp. All This talk about man's fantasy yet I live the shit, fucking models without having to spend a dime and getting approached to do adult work fucking women.

Again sit your old ass down somewhere.

Ngga, there is no argument FOR him.

Drop me some Eminem lines!?!

If u tell me drop a Nas line, off the head -'The buck that bought the bottle coulda struck the lotto.' Not just HOW he says it, but the meaning BEHIND it.

U tell me drop a Jay line, off the head-'We used to spend the night at slumber parties now im tryin rock his ass to sleep'. (nh). Not just HOW he says it, but the meaning BEHIND it.

Scarface, off the top of the head-'Woke up this morning filled with the spirit, so i wrote it down for the homies to hear it'

WHAT ARE EMINEM'S LINES!?!? Where is the shyt that sticks to your ribs nh? Where are his lines that are not just SAID cleverly, witty, or harsh, but lines that have meaning BEHIND them and live on. That live in your memory, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.

Then when you cant do that, feel free to do ya googles, rapgenius, whatever. Just please, give us something, anything.

I don't see what's the point of us dropping Em lines, what's that gonna prove, nobody got time for your wack pointless demands... Either listen to his music or google "Eminem quotes"

Like i thought. Get your 'debate skills' up little ngga.

There ain't shit to debate, you can throw at me all the Nas and Jay lines you want that doesn't mean I'm going to think they're good and vice versa, so why waste the time for the sake of wasting time... Bitch
 
Bruh that whole post was completely suspect smh..

my point in a nutshell...

WSJ: You’re famous for not writing your lyrics down as you compose them. What changes about them when you see them on the page like this?

Jay-Z: Some [lyrics] become really profound when you see them in writing. Not “Big Pimpin.” That’s the exception. It was like, I can’t believe I said that. And kept saying it. What kind of animal would say this sort of thing? Reading it is really harsh.
 
50 with the Dhalsim reach.

50 always reaching for relevance and he's getting it.

This and the Floyd shit.

Probably time for 50 to throw in the towel music-wise and stick to that SMS Audio money.

Against? You mean the argument FOR JayZ?

And the posters defending Em are (purposely) ignoring the potent arguments for JayZ being better.

Yea, ya boy 5 Grand is killin it

and by the way, I don't have Jay in my top 5, and maybe........ not top 10.

I also have listened to and enjoyed white rap albums also.

Bubba Sparxxx has an album (Deliverance) that I prefer over all Eminem albums, except, MAYBE the Eminem Show.

Reason? As a southerner, I have a lot of shared refrences with Bubba Sparxxx.

I feel him when he talkin bout that country struggle. Maybe if I was from Michigan, I'd feel Eminems shit more.

He just has too much shit that turns me away from his music. NONE of it being his skin color.

You just proved my point though, and kind of negated your own, by saying you relate more to Bubba Sparxxx than Eminem based on the shared southern experience. You didn't pin point race, you pin pointed the shared experience of growing up in the south. So why do you think that a black person who likes Eminem must have grown up around more whites than blacks and not instead that they possibly can relate to the shared experience of having a fucked up mother, an absent father, and a baby mother you can't stand? Those aren't race specific or have anything to do with growing up around black or white folks. THat's just a shitty home life which alot of people regardless of race deal/dealt with growing up. I do agree though Deliverance is a good fucking album that should have gotten Bubba Sparxxx more shine than it did as his follow up.

Nah, I proved my point.

There's so much that Eminem has in his experience/songs- that are automatic

"do not pass go" signs for many many black folks.

Those that don't feel that way, must share a lot of experience with him/white folks

in order to look past those.

Just dissing your own moms to get on

wearing dresses

making suuuuuuuper cheesy pop songs

and "Fack" turns off 95% of niggas.

Nope! I give Em his props but that's where it stops its the Roc.

a majority of his shit I don't fck with but his first 3 albums I respect the artist he was.

Its almost a silent respect thing. Like I know Em is dope but you'll never catch me blasting more than a few of his songs. They just aren't for me and I listen to a lot of shit.

Those aren't race specific or have anything to do with growing up around black or white folks. THat's just a shitty home life which alot of people regardless of race deal/dealt with growing up. I do agree though Deliverance is a good fucking album that should have gotten Bubba Sparxxx more shine than it did as his follow up.

Nah, I proved my point.

There's so much that Eminem has in his experience/songs- that are automatic

"do not pass go" signs for many many black folks.

Those that don't feel that way, must share a lot of experience with him/white folks

in order to look past those.

Just dissing your own moms to get on

wearing dresses

making suuuuuuuper cheesy pop songs

and "Fack" turns off 95% of niggas.

If you think having a shitty mom and shitty baby mother are don't pass go topics for black folks then a lot of rappers violated this rule because plenty black rappers talk about having bad parents and "fuck my baby mother". Shit Young Dro just last fall released Fuck Dat Bitch about his baby mother

Shawn made n*ggas dress up (switch from throwback jerseys to button ups),

I've never worn a throwback. I haven't worn a jersey since I was 10 or 11. But going back to junior high I've always worn button ups and polos as well. I went to Clark Atlanta and it was 6 in my crew all through college and we were doing this while Jay was still wearing throwbacks. Could be us all being from the midwest (Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City and St Louis) and having parents with money and living in the suburbs dressing up was just normal.
