but you cant compare eminem to nas, jay, pac, big, etc.
sure hes a polarizing figure like they are, but hes polarizing for mostly the wrong reasons. hes closer to the drake type of polarizing.

Yeah I'm sure i read this somewhere else, but I think the more popular artists like Nas/Jay/Pac/Em/Big are gonna get tons of votes both in their favor and against them. Comes with being some of the best. I think "lesser" known or less popular artists end up being criticized less and are more likely to have at least 2-3 classics. Not gonna debate anyone's discography, but if as many people voted in that Nas/Jay thread as they did in say that Geto Boys thread, we might have ended up with them not getting any votes. I think less people are familiar with/listen to their music and would be less likely to participate so what you are left with is people who are more likely to be fans of the artists whereas the Big 5 of Nas/Jay/Pac/Em/Big is just as likely to have casual fans too that might skew their numbers one way or another.
