____ Common vs. Eminem ____

[just.might.b.ok]

Common, easy.

maybe eminem, if you started listening to hip hop in 2003 and take it up the ass

Common I guess

Common had his moments but he couldnt hang with canibus, which proved he's gonna have trouble with rappin ass rappers. When it comes to flat out rapping, very few are on Em's level especially when he was motivated.

I think Common is the better artist, but Em is the better emcee (from a technical standpoint). Common's discography > Em's discography. Em got 'em on flow and delivery.

Common is a dope rapper. His flow is a little rough, but he can definately rhyme. He been doing this for over 20 years and he's still putting out good product. Only wack album I can remember was Electric Circus but luckily he bounced back from that. He wanted to step out the box, experiment and artists should be allowed to do so IMO. Common is def one of the heavyweights.

I have very rarely seen Eminem get outshined on a track. Nobody's disputing the fact he got skills. However I question his song making ability cuz it's almost criminal for an emcee with his skillset to have such a weak discography. Imagine a legitimate GOAT contender like Jay Z or Nas having songs like "My name is", "The Real Slim Shady", "Without me", "Big Winnie" etc. in their discography.

The real slim shady is literally one of the best commercial songs to be lyrical at the same time. Dont hate.

Em's subject matter is wwwaaayyy the fuck out there but his lyricism is second to none. I can't relate to that craziness but I can tell if he chose another route it would be a tough decision.

 

[c.g. productionz]

Gotta go with Em, I say that because I can relate to his music better, he puts so much emotion into his delivery so it hits you hard.

 

[ohhhla]

This is better lyricist thread

Not who I personally like better thread.

Jesus.
