Y'all can debate this shit all day but EM can write "REAL LIFE" songs and "BULLSHIT MAINSTREAM RAP SHIT", most black rappers write "BULLSHIT MAINSTREAM RAP SHIT", they could never make it outside of the rap charts, Eminem on the other hand can take his music to other audiences. The guy is diversified, and don't you listen to his cd's? he said he doesn't give a fuck about battling, he says its pointless to try to create punchlines he would rather just talk shit on his CD's that sell by the millions.
