How is Eminem anywhere near a top 10 rapper based on catalog alone?

[Stew]

If Biggie can be one why cant Em?

U say he doesnt have any classics, I say he has 1.

U say his bad album is fucking terrible, I say its just not good.

Biggie's albums are better than Em's albums. Not to mention his catalogue had more influence on Hip-Hop.

Biggie's bars have been bitten hundreds of times, can you say the same for Em?

Biggie's beats have been used numerous times, a hell of a lot more times then Em's beats.

Biggie has been referenced a hell of a lot more times more than Em as well.

No but then again I think Biggie is overrated. I have an issue with anybody that calls him or Em GOAT

lol at no one spitting like Eminem at the time, you mean the Kool G Rap flow he was using. The same flow Big Pun was using?

Aint no one jealous of anything, i think most people would say Nas, Jay,Pac, Big,etc are better and had more successful careers than Eminem without the cosign that Eminem got from Dr. Dre.

I love the "it sounds dated" excuse to discredit an album..half of Life after Death sounds hella dated but yall niggas swear it's a classic..everything that was made a decade ago sounds dated lol..

 

[usmarin3]

The only good tracks on SSLP were the Dr. Dre produced ones, those BASS BROTHERS beats were generic as fuck.

Reasonable Doubt and It Was Written don't sound Dated

@marin3 Every MC uses a piece of their favorite rappers flow until they find their voice. Oh and Em was official before he got with Dre. Ask the Outsidaz and Redman.

True to an extent. I should have used Em's music doens't stand the test of time. All of Em shit doens't hold up the test of time to me. Not that it's dated per se but it just doesn't sound good at all anymore. Some shit that is dated still sounds good. Just like I used to love Onyx but besides their 2nd album all their old shit just sounds kinda wack to me know. None of stood the test of time. But i can pop in a Kool g Rap cd from 92 and the shit still rides til this day.

While I agree (with RD...IWW feels like a coaster now)...I think thats completely subjective. I also agree that the dude receives way to much hate on these boards. It really doesnt matter what the consciences is in this thread....at the end of the day to any body that matters in hip hop Em will be a top 10.

Regardless how u feel the SOUND of it isnt Dated

Whites worship him like they do Elvis and corny Negroes worship him like white Jesus.

He ain't top 10 but people feel obliged to throw him in there top ten because he's a token-white who sold a lot of records to whites.

I can't understand why people give so much praise to this soulless mutant instead of giving praise to Black Thought who is criminally underrated and slept on.

To play devil's advocate, Black Thought doesn't get the props he deserves cuz he's in a group. If groups were taken in account, people's list would look a lot different. Let's face it, Thought, Q Tip, Sadat X, Fredro Starr, Big Boi, Buckshot, Prodigy, Posdonus, MJG>>>>> a lot of these "GOATs".

How can you say regardless of how you feel and then go ahead and reference something like SOUND? Something that is ALL based on feel?

 

[Mr.LV]

Eminem show is his best body of work.I just feel with eminem's skills on the Mic is on point but it tends to get overshadowed by his theatrics like his cross dressing wanting to kill his mom or tie up his ex girlfriend and throw her in the trunk or making fun of Michael Jackson for the billionths time.Take and strip all of that away and down to the core this man knows how to rap.

Sound is not based on Feel and definetly not emotional feelings.

Just cuz u don't like trumpets u can't say that they sound like Saxaphones because of how u feel

Your point is mute because you named rappers who were in groups alongside other rappers, Black Thought is the lone rapper in his group, he just uses a live band.

Black thought is in a Band tho he holds down them albums lyrically by himself for the most part

And if Andre 3000 can get praised even tho he had an equally Dope Emcee with him why can't Black Thought?

I think it comes down to features u really have to be a Roots fan to hear him spit.

 

[blackgod813]

O yeah black thought needs more shine....tupac affected everything phrases lik thug people tatoos .jay a game changer...emiem just helped white people come out the closet listen I like rap but im not thug an im a lame... it like silly avant-garde rap icpish raping fast its alright not realtable for hiphop intended demo should had whites for rap whites only surburan negros stamp on it.
