I agree with the original thread starter.Eminem is the best all-around rapper.He can do it all.

And leady...shut yo' wack ass up.Vocab means absolutely nothing.It's only the overly critical fans like you who think vocab is essential in rap.

And people need to stop putting barriers on what hip hop is. Rock doesn't do that bullshit. Hip hop needs to have versitality and thats what sets us apart from other music. Rappers can go any direction with music they want. Eminem went his way and whats wrong with that?

How is he the best is the better quesion but to answer yours the main reason is albums...his first 2 or 3 albums are overrated as hell you could make your case that SSLP and MMLP are classics but at the same time you can make your case they aren't but if you think about illmatic, ready to die, 36 chambers, paid in full etc. those SCREAM classic, matter of fact Immortal Technique's last album>>>any eminem album but eminem is still better. Eminem show is above average and extremely overrated most of it is average sogns with some really hot songs here and there and Encore is trash if you deny that you are a dickrider. It's all opinion but I mean if you think Eminem is the best I question your knowledge of Hip Hop as well as your race.

compose, I have infinite... i have unreleased shit when he was 17.

Compose, I have ass like that, i have my band.

Those last too songs is him making a mockery of rap and those who listen to it by saying " i can make anything and it will sell"
Alot of wack kids dont have an understanding for rap, eminem helped when he was dropping tracks like till hell freezes over, but once he hit eminem show, he backfired his own passion and made non rap songs, and sold them as rap songs.

Ass like that, my band and numerous other song he has made recenlty, simply to express how wack it is at the top.
he put out mosh and my band at the same time. The effect he tried to get with mosh, just got reversed by making my band.

He has alot of power, he could be using it to re shape rap back into solid real raw underground style music.


he is one of the many that have wrongly commercialised rap with wack tracks.

Why doesnt he commercialize it with his original style?

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?

People seem to put a strong emphasis on songs he was just fucking around with. Ignoring all of the 8034832048320482 ill songs he made. Nas made songs like "Hate me now" talking about ice. And he made "you owe me" talking about ice and hoes. Tupac made how do you want it, I get around, and I'm gettin money. All these other rappers are fuckin up alot worse, but eminem is just KILLING HIP HOP somehow?

The way she moves she's like a belly dancer
She's shakin that ass to the new nelly jams

Police saying freeze...d-doing doing doing

Geez? I'm a human being

Not till I'm finished pee-ing


I just like to pee
Pee, pee, yes I make R'n'B
I sing song that go ringy chong
Ching chong chong chong ching
Psyche, I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid
If I offend, I'm sorry please please forgive
For I am Triumph the Puppet Dog, I am a mere puppet
I can get away with anything I say and you will love it


Mary-Kate and Ashley used to be so wholesome
Now they gettin older they startin to go bum-bum
I go to the movies and sit down with my popcorn
Police saying freeze...d-doing doing doing
What do you mean freeze?
Jeez, I just got my seat
I have teekit, look I put away my zipper sheet

Free, yes, free, right back on the streets
What you mean my lawyer is with Michael
He's too busy, I'm Triumph
Britney Spears has shoulders like a man
And I can say that and you laugh
Cos there's a puppet on my hand [ha-ha-haaaaa]


Okay..
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
whaaaaaaaaa
Now everyone report to the dance floor
To the dance floor, to the dance floor
Now everyone report to the dance floor
Alright stop, pajama time



No matter who you are, you have no right to make songs liek this and make a mockery of the music I grew to love, be ambitious about and dedicate my life to.

i make rap music, and this is classed as rap music. I know why he made it, and I know he isnt tryna be serious( obviously) But rap music isnt his to wreck like this and absolutly downgrade. No matter who the fuck he is.

He is one man that brought the level up and then absolutly felt like he owned my and your music.

How can you respect someone like this? If he hadnt of made his recent shit, I would agree he is on top... but nah fuck that!

what the hell is so wrong with that anyways?.. like there are lot of songs worse then that, I dont even think that was all that bad. I could go out and find alot worse. seriously like stfu~!

"that compose is number one back when he first came into the spotlight"

It make's no sense.... its like saying a honda is the best car when it firt brought out the civic.

It makes no sense, judge a man by his entire career rather than picking the positive bit's and ignoring the negative.

judge a man by his entire career rather than picking the positive and ignoring the negative bits.

If I was married I wouldnt want people to say "they have the best marriage, when they first got married"

judge something by the entire spand of the situation, dont pick the positive and ignore the negative.

^Word to compose.

eminem was dope i still like pac a lil better NOT FOR LYRICS just for what he had ta say and his delivery and im NOT sayin that cuz hes dead..but for lyrics eminem is the muthafuckin dopest i heard people say papoose is better but i dont beleive that.. but eminem isnt THAT legendary in lyrics without help...his shit isnt totally ghost written but every song on the SSLP and the MMLP is both co-written..just look in the lil booklets it says itself and who they co-written with..so its not TOTALLY em's lyrics.
but eminem still got my respect..until he did encore and d12 world and my balls..that shit was wack as fuck..but i heard some of his more recent shit yet and its how he used ta be...so he kinda gained his way back from being a sell out. but i say the eminem show was dope as hell along wit the 8 mile soundtrack. but i still say pac is better and that he's ALIVE but ya'll dont wanna believe me the clues are EVERYWHERE and i bet a milliion bucks since its been exactly 10 years before 2006 that he's gonna come out to public either the same date he was shot or the same date he died and says he's alive and starts makin some new fresh shit

is that TWO sentences??

Why the fuck would he wait that long? People would just be forgetting that he died, then when he'd reappeared people would be like 'oh, that's Tupac' instead of, if it did it a year or so after he died, in which people would be like 'omfg Tupac my pants are hard'.

I gotta agree with Compose. Dude is a fucking legend. Encore, D12 World, parts of Eminem Show were commerical type shit. Everybody knows that.

But, when I listen to Infinte, Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, I still classify him a legend. Dude was/is dope as fuck.
