black thought is better...
lyrically...canibus is better...way the fuck better
common is better
soup from jurassic 5 is better


to say eminem has the greatest lyrics ever heard is retarded....extrmemely retarded...eminem spits mediocre to good multies..with rarely having a standout line...

all the artists i just named...get quoted the fuck out of em....eminem is a good lyricist..but it's his delivery and style that make it appealing..not his above average lyrics

this is just retarded...tiger words has one more pro tours than any golfer in hsitory..he's won like..90 pga's

no no no and no.......

yeah, yeah, yeah and yeah



why do people insist on having retarded replies, that are completely pointless, and don't contribute to anything in any way?....seriously...if you don't agree....cool...but...i could say i honestly think you might be a woman...but..that's pretty pointless to say without some kind of an explanation....find something better to do than checking threads for the first thing you can argue with

why will he have to settle himself as the best when he already has, he already dropped one of the most dopest albums ever, almost everyday when I walk down the street I hear people bumpin his music. yea his latest albums wern't as amazing, but hey, what artist has dropped every single albums as hott as his last one?

i never heard soup from jurassic 5 so i cant comment, but common is NOWHERE near eminem, mos def and kweli are better then common...i listen to all of them and have all their albums and shit and imo common is a person i listen to when im bored or in 'his' mood i gotta be in the mood to listen to common, its not like that with eminem cuz he captures almost all of the moods imo, when im mad,sad,happy etc. i can listen to different em songs...common seems like a sissy hippie, not to say hes not dope...but he's just on that love shit all the time and his wordplay is too old school for this generation, chino xl shits on common as far as that goes he shits on anybody when it comes to wordplay imo, black thought is dope but you said eminem's delivery carry above his lyrics...black thought's delivery is ASS sometimes, canibus in his prime is better then eminem in lyrics but in songs i'd give it to em cuz he has a wide variety of moods and songs, canibus in his prime just constantly spit angry raps all the time, which is dope but theres no variety when it comes to being the best overall

old skool Eminem iz my 2nd fav rapper. dope ass multies n he got that kinda gangsta shit, u know, makes me wanna git a gun n start shootin innocent men, women and children. shits illy. werd

canibus is fucking trash...

listening to his music is like reading some gay ass emo poems on myspace...

i can see him curled up in his room with a dictionary jacking off and just using all the random words his nut lands on to make a verse...

vocab?...who the fuck cares
imagery?...wtf? IMAGERY? THESE ARE SONGS NOT FUCKING POEMS...

he has zero catchy songs ever...ill buss em you punish em is ALRIGHT just because rakim jumps on it and saves it from being another wack ass canibus song...

you could be the only guy in the middle of a bisexual girl orgy and if you popped in a canibus cd youd be jacking off that night...

canibus is music for people that have never been to a club or party that sit on their computer all fucking day and do nothing else but somehow think they're cooler than everyone else...riiiiiight...his cd's are like 80 minute sleeping pills...

if you throw on some canibus for 100 people that have never heard it MAYBE two people will like it...maybe...and they would be the fat guy that kinda smells like cheese and the emo girl with the frizzy black hair that always has unexplained cuts on her arms and legs...

any time someone tells me they like canibus theyre suspect...if they tell me hes their favorite rapper...wait thats never happenned anywhere except...ON A COMPUTER...damn this shit is all starting to make sense...if canibus is your favorite rapper you need to get out more...find some music that makes you want to do something other than kill yourself...maybe *gasp* dance a little bit...maybe *double gasp* get laid...then come home and try to listen to your canibus cd's...

WHOA wait...no not the trash...cd's are plastic man recycle them...

some of you like em, some dont....Period

co-sign..........................

short and sweet... Em is a beast.... he's proved it time and time again... he never claimed to be the best... i ain't claiming he's da best... but his talent speaks for itself... originally i was a em hater when the first album came out... all i could think about was Vanilla Ice reborn... but... dude proved me wrong... he got crazy skills and it don't matter if ya black, white, asian, latino, or from the non-planet of pluto... if a dude is ill with the verbage ya gotta give up da props...

at least em has variety on his side... listen to his tracks and tell me how many actually sound the same... unlike other artist that get a formula and just run with it til there's nothing left... but boredom!

correction.... any REAL LYRICIST likes Canibus because that's what his focus is... the way he says shyt and how he says it is what appeals to kats that like Bis... I personally think the dude is dope... agreed.. he can't make an album that i'd listen to over and over again... but that's mainly a production thing... face it... he's beats usually suck ass.

the dude actually has a science degree... and is deep into computers so he has an intelligence not normally found in the average street rapper. if we all just did shyt that ended up in clubs then hip-hop would not be at the point it is today... suppose we all still rapped like kool moe dee or sugar hill gang... rap woulda died when they predicted it like 20 years ago...

case and point... dude is a lyricist... not a rapper... lyricists actually think about what they are saying and have some type of meaning behind why and how they say shyt... a rapper is a conformist who does things mainly because they wanna be accepted....

and for the record.... canibus can do commercial tracks if he really wanted to go that route... that track he did called "Into You" is a prime example... if you don't like him then fine... but don't try and say everyone else who likes him is wrong for doing so... hell, i don't like polka music or folklore but you don't hear me going around knocking other folks who do...

just sumn to think about... and i ain't one of them fat dudes you described or a comp geek... i just love hip-hop

nah...he's a poet that writes dark emo-like poems...

which is fine...

until he starts rasping them over some shit ass beats and tries to call it hip hop...

just because something is hard to understand doesnt mean its special...

never said it was hard to understand... ok... do you like pac?... he's a poet... so you saying pac ain't hip-hop too right? let's call it what it is... most lyricists ARE poets... most rappers are rhymers.... rhymers are hiphop?... if that's the case then DR Seuss is prolly the most succesful hip hop artist in history!

i'd never call Em whack, but he does have a bunch of ppl on his dick, sayin he's the best ever and shit... i've heard murda mook, spit multi's and punches just as good as Eminem, but he gets hated on too... it's just ur opinion... to call one person the best lyricist ever is irresponsible and in my opinion, downright ignorant... everyone has their strong points and things they can improve on... for instance, when Em battles, and the other guy tries to jump in, Em'll spit a couple whack filler lines when he's runnin low on gas so he can think of somethin ill to say... no hate, but ppl are on his wood too much... he's only a man, tho, and i don't care if he's white, black or purple, no one is supreme over everyone, that's why he didn't win the rap olympics...
