lmao nah son, sorry

you might be able to put up a case thats he's a lil bit overrated NOW since he died... but saying he WAS hella overrated? no.

and, 50 Cent's got talent
you don't just become famous for no reason
you might be able to argue that he doesnt have sick lyrics in all his songs or somethin, but YOU saying HE has no talent? psh, fuck that.

n lol they became famous not becuase of talent but becuase of their marketing team seriously if u gave me the funds they work wit i cud pick any1 on rv that has sum kind of flow n a voice that can sell n i cud make then go platinum easily


You gotta admit, you did go out and buy the album, or at least burn it. 50 sold alot of units....dont know exact number, but his Get Rich Or Die Trying Album went over 5x platinum, now just imagine if burners weren't thought of yet. Thats another 2x added to that 5x platinum. You gotta have talent to get on tha big screen, you cant just wake up one morning and decide to entertain people.

And Biggie being overrated: ha! you all read it yourself. Nigga went fuckin Diamond! Thats some shit! Everybody has a different style, Biggie's style, just led to his success.

c'mon, honestly?
have common sense, rap isnt just all about "hotlines"

Then what is it about?

Record Sales?...Eminem has that
How you represent yourself? Just because Em didnt talk about guns or the hood doesnt mean he didnt represent himself.
Beats? He had Dr. Dre, and basically anybody he wanted being on the biggest label in the industry.

Em IS nice...and better then Big by a longshot...

Uh...that was 1 album, you ever heard of Infinite, SSLP, MMLP, and eminem show? where he had no "arabic accent" what so ever...you people need to stop judging him off one album, MMLP and Infinite had better lyrics then anything Biggie put out...

he'll say some shit like

"I dont have any shoe strings, so I'll use your dogs intestines"

and people would be like
word yo, that shit is TITE!!!
Eminem is the greatest.
fuck outta here with that shit

Biggie Smalls went fuckin Diamond.
I NEVER heard ofg no shit like that.

And Biggie talks about women, selling drugs, and guns...so just because Eminem does something different that nobody else is doing...you criticize him?

Diamond is 10 million copies, Eminem almost doubled what Biggie sold on one album...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem

The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) #1 US (8 weeks) (8x Platinum); #1 UK (6x Platinum) (19 million worldwide)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggie

Life After Death (Bad Boy Records, 1997) #1 US (4 weeks), #23 UK; 10x Platinum

Yall need to stop hating on Em just because hes white and cuz he made 1 wack album, seriously its like youve been waiting for Em to mess up once so you could be on his balls forever, but in truth hes always been one of the greatest before Encore

peace
