Fat Joe & Papoose Defend Eminem After Melle Mel Criticism: 'You Can't Deny That Skillset'

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Wtf does that have to do with SKILLS on the mic? Em has real skills, crossover or not.

Skills on the mic. He’s phat too right?

Let keep it 100.

If it was Canibus with the same songs instead of Eminem, his career would have been over after The Eminem Show.

Everything after that album is white people that hate rap but love Em just propping a dead Eminem career up like Weekend At Bernie’s. Em can fart for the hook of a track and it will go triple platinum on streaming and white people will call it genius.

Em lost me when he switched his flow and his vocals. There's a reason why Nas and Jay stuck with that monotous flow. And stopped talking about relatable shyt and started just rhyming to just to fukking rhyme.

Eminem is one the GOATS

Honest question for people here to answer: where does eminem have to fall on someone’s top 50, maximum, for you to respect one’s opinion? I’m curious..

I’m someone who thinks Eminem is a great rhymer, and has three good to great albums, and two decent to good ones (infinite and relapse)… I would agree that all those works, encore, recovery and on, is just awful music. He can rap really well still but the music is unlistenable… where am I, on this site, for feelings on Eminem, because with that said, he’s in my top 20…. Probably not in my top 30 favorite artist personally, but I value his skill set more then how much I enjoy his music I guess

like it or not Em is a skilled MC

You can't but I feel he wouldn't be half as big if he wasn't white

 

[EastsideRio]

there are a lot of people with skills, great music, and subject matter. If you think Eminem is succesful strictly for skills, you're dumb as fukk. There are a LOT of dope white mcs. jimmy iovine is powerful. I'm sure eminem wanted to make straight hip hop records like Biggie, but Iovine had to be his puffy daddy informing him, "hey, you're white. Speak to white ameirkka. You can't do your dope hip hop shyt, but don't forget you're white and use that to your advantage".

Krs One was wrong. He said he was relying on talent, not marketing and promotion. Marketing and promotion is 99.999999% of the equation. . I don't give a fukk how great of a rapper you are, that means shyt without the small hats putting you on tv and the radio every hour forcing everyone to hear you . I've known Rapsody since 2008. She's no more or less iller than she was then. What's the difference now? a Roc Nation co-sign.

The topic in question was based on skills not popularity. Eminem has skills doofus

no one ever said he didn't. No one has ever called him wack. the thing is HUNDREDS of mcs have skill. Being a skillful mc isn't rare. Even being a skiled white mc isn't rare. I can easily name 20 dope white MCs. Most of you can't and that's your problem with the lack of history, not mine...

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Em is respectful because he knows he’s a visitor unlike that Fat piece of sh*t.

get the fukk outa here!!Puerto Ricans from the Bronx are visitors????

GET DA fukk OUTA HERE

 

[BK The Great]

As of right now Millyz is clearly better than Eminem, he also doesn’t say corny shyt in his music. From the beat selection to the content he raps about.

To the rest of the world? ….. uhh yeah

Well shyt...the only credit I give Eminem is that he admitted this lol

"If I was black I woulda sold half"
