eminem? you mean the worlds biggest pop star rapper who got famous by stealing cage's lyrics and style
pop star rapper? naaa.eminem? you mean the worlds biggest pop star rapper who got famous by stealing cage's lyrics and style
agreedEminem > Cage. Eminem's had a number of different rap styles. i can't wholeheartedly think that he just straight up stole cage's style......but then again, i don't really like cage so meh lol.
lol agreedDefinitely not Nas. Dude's sick, but...
put it this way, when's the last time u listened to God's Son?
Nastradamas?
Streets disciple?
well not so fast, there, i wouldnt use the word murders, thats a bit harsh. i think em beats nas in terms of lyrical tech skill, but nas beats em in terms of lyrical mindgames.Eminem murders Nas in terms of lyrical potential and creativity.
quit hatingLOL new jacks.
haterWhens the last time you listened to encore? or relapse? or even the **** eminem show. Jesus christ there isn't a rapper alive that doesn't have mediocre releases.
And I'm not a hater, I love SSLP and MMLP as much as the next kid but honestly anyone saying Em > Nas is a newjack and part of the 8mile generation.
i agree, both of those albums had a bigger impact than any of ems cds, MMLP comes close, imo.Illmatic and It was written were just too **** influential.
hater ;DAnd IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE IS TRASH. STOP BEING BRAINWASHED. REGURGITATING CONSPIRACY BULL**** IN EVERYSINGLE SONG WITH LITTLE TO NO REGARD FOR FLOW, CADENCE, RHYTHM IS NOT DOPE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYjsWBIR_IMSomeone show me a wack solo Nas joint.
agreedCreativity? Em can flip it, I agree. But Rewind, I Gave You Power...Nas is creative on a different tip.
rakim?Nas is hip hop. Nas is the GOAT. Show me a better all round artist....and I'm not even a big fan of him like that. It's just the man is flawless. Seriously.
aww, i like him.Immortal Technique is over rated. I heard him, I loved him. A couple months later and bam, never listened to dude ever again.
yup hahaaye yo, god's son and streets disciples were good cds. let's get that out the way......but uh.......nastradamus.......had to be one of the worst albums i've ever heard lol.
haha just because he likes to make up raps about random gruesome stuff its not ****?but eminem has the luxury to be creative because....well.....he doesn't really talk about sh*t in his lyrics. he's dope. no doubt, but he's not the best out.
D:put it this way lololol. when's the last time you listened to encore? eminem show?.......well maybe not eminem show. that had a couple good tracks : ). but relapse was straight *** though >__>
yeah it was pretty mediocre, it had a few hot tracks tho, but overall yeah.Immortal technique is good but his flow is non-existent, bruh. That 3rd World cd was so mediocre.
Illmatic and It Was Written were both classic albums imo, and he has a ton of great tracks pass that (One Mic is one of his best)...I have dude's entire discography and listen to most of it still...I'm not saying Nas is far from GOAT status by any means...LOL new jacks.
NAS IS THE GOAT. Matador your logic is ridiculous.
Whens the last time you listened to encore? or relapse? or even the **** eminem show. Jesus christ there isn't a rapper alive that doesn't have mediocre releases.
And I'm not a hater, I love SSLP and MMLP as much as the next kid but honestly anyone saying Em > Nas is a newjack and part of the 8mile generation.
Illmatic and It was written were just too **** influential.
same thing can be said about tier lists in video games right? right.i don't know why you people are bugging out over better thans and who's the best
total waste of time.
How is discussing hip hop a waste of time? We're sharing opinions and viewpoints on music that we're passionate about. I don't expect anyone to drop their favorite rapper for mine or even to agree with me.i don't know why you people are bugging out over better thans and who's the best
total waste of time.
I don't talk about that **** either.same thing can be said about tier lists in video games right? right.
don't know what you mean by acid rap...but cage has had been glorifying drugs since 88 lol.Eminem > Cage. Eminem's had a number of different rap styles. i can't wholeheartedly think that he just straight up stole cage's style......but then again, i don't really like cage so meh lol. besides, have you ever heard of Esham? he started that whole acid rap stuff....and he's from detroit : ).
but, yeah, he's definitely not the best rapper alive. that title belongs to Nas : ).
lol album sales has nothing to do with the quality of the cd, man. the massacre by 50 cent went diamond....that album was trash. BP3 was mediocre too. sales =/= quality.Um who ever is dssing Relapse/ Relapse-Refill... Those sold alot, Relapse was 2nd to Jay-Z BP3 in sales iirc.
QFT. His ability to give every track he's on that feel is something I can't say any other rapper has without sacrificing the beat or lyrics.Nas' music is for the soul I swear. You're all probably thinking wtf is 9 on lol. If you had to choose one artist to embody hip hop, it would be Nas imo, no one personifies the genre like Nas.
QFT : ). I don't really know what nas can do to get back to his illmatic days. lyrically, i won't say he's too far off. the only thing i can say is that his choice in beats is just terrible. like, i'll listen to the acapella for some songs and it's amazing. the lyrics from Ghetto Prisoners are dope as ****. But the beat is just straight ***. i actually took the acapella for a couple of his tracks and just mixed them with a better instrumental . But i feel the same way about eminem not being able to recreate his old sound. i really do despise his new stuff........ but maybe he should just stop trying to produce and rap at the same time. stick to lyrics .I'm 19.
I dunno, maybe it's a closer comparison than I thought...I just hate the fact that I like a lot of Nas songs and like all of his albums (despite how much I seem to be bashing Streets disciple, Nastradamas and God's Son, I loved all 3 albums when I got them and still do.), but he hasn't had the same feel to me (pause) since Illmatic and It Was Written.
Not that he's become boring. I know boring. He's not boring, dull, or any of that. Just not the same.
Massacre was not trash and i dont even like 50 cents music really... if the quality of a cd is bad it wont sell much.lol album sales has nothing to do with the quality of the cd, man. the massacre by 50 cent went diamond....that album was trash. BP3 was mediocre too. sales =/= quality.
lol Immortal Technique has no flow. He constantly goes off beat. I listened to him spit an acapella and he somehow still sounded off beat. Technique can be a great alternative to all that swag rappin **** but that **** gets old TOO FAST. Especially when there's no real difference in content between this track and the next. But...I am still a fan.Eminem and Immortal Technique have so many subliminal messages and can spit.
The rhymes are flowless, how can any of you think Immortal Technique lacks flow? You're delusional and I'll be straight up in saying it.
Maybe he does overwork the conspiracy theories, but hey, it's better than listening to mediocre popstar rappers who rhyme about money, cash, girls, and how swag they are.
I hate the music videos and annoying beats even more.
Eminem told an ENTIRE story with Stan, he usually focuses on his personal battles and feelings, but he can MURDER Nas when it comes to lyrical creativity.
Ever watched 8 Mile? Those freestyles against Papa Doc, Lotto and Lickety Splits?
Haha, Nas can't even touch that. When Eminem gets pissed off at people, nobody can TOUCH HIM. How is that not dope? How can Nas even try to scratch the surface at mustering comebacks and insults the way Eminem does?
Nobody can, Eminem is in his own genre when it comes to those specific aspects.
His mainstream stuff isn't as good, but then again with ANY artist, when is their new stuff better and more improved than their older, underground music?
Nas is sick, but he isn't the best, and frankly not even close to the best.
Personal opinions are subjective, but please try to take what I said in.
The quality of the cd has nothing to do with album sales; hence, all these underground rappers that are dope but don't sell.Massacre was not trash and i dont even like 50 cents music really... if the quality of a cd is bad it wont sell much.
