From a technical standpoint Em is the greatest of alltime
nikka werent you just saying in another thread that rap music spread a terrible message. how in the fukk can you give eminem any kind of props. lol you gotta be kidding me.
One has nothing to do with the other. Yes, mainstream rap is poison to our youth but i do recognizdm the talent it takes to put together a well structured verse regardless of the content
@PhonZhiI can agree on the lack of subject matter and beat selection but if Eminem isn't ATLEAST top 5 to you then i question if you really "get" lyricism. He's #1 on my list. On a pure "technical" level Elzhi is at a distant #2 in my book. In fact, EM may be TOO lyrical. As an artist myself(i draw well), i can recognize the effort and thought that he puts into every single syllable in his rhymes. When i draw something, every single detail must be perfect. This "perfection" creates a perfect copy of what im drawing. Listening to how Em's rhymes has evolved over the years reminds me of how my drawings have progressed from when i was a kid to now. I can tell that he is a perfectionist when it comes to rhyming and every verse is hearing a genius at work. I dont throw the word "genius" around lightly but he definantly is one in my opinion. On a technical level, Eminem is heads and shoulders above anyone ive ever heard in my life.
