I'm sure you're referring to mainstream garbage you hear on the radio. There's still great artists today. Hard to find, sure. But yes, as far as lyrics and the obvious work that was put into writing them, it can be depressing to hear what passes today. Most rap in the 90s still holds. Wu-Tang, the underrated Gravediggaz, for example, still blows me away. Now go listen to that guy with all the shit on his face and pink and blue and green or whatever color hair--who practically flaunts and brags about being a RAT in public--and tell me it isn't sad what passes today. He's probably got like a billion views, a whole generation believes that to be hip hop....okay, I'm sounding old. I'll stop now. Get off my lawn!

@lookitsapanther8 жыл бұрын
Yeah, you completely missed my point. Gimmick or not, Eminem is a master wordsmith and a top tier lyricist, and anybody with respect for the craft can see that, so long as they put their personal feelings aside. I think you'd be surprised how many rappers "talk ghetto shit like they lived it" but didn't, and Eminem has always been pretty honest about his life and his hardships. I'm not saying he's the G.O.A.T. but to deny his skills on the mic just because you don't like him is childish and insincere. And to say nobody followed him or tried to sound like him is just ridiculous. You must have been living under a rock between 1999-2004, because he completely changed the game and at one point in time, everybody wanted to spit like he did. Maybe a lot of that was a mixture of marketing and his skin color giving him benefits, but a large part of that was his high caliber of skill. I still agree though that nobody can touch Rakim.

Rakim really produced most of their songs. Especially the first 2 albums. He would bring the samples/records to Marley and laid out how he wanted the song to go/be arranged. Making Marley more of an engineer. Rakim should get most of the credit producing, more so than Eric. It's crazy to thing this legendary MC was also musical and provided the sounds for this iconic duo.

The only artist in the history of hip hop to spit 4 verses on a song for a soundtrack. All this time I thought it was three verses and it damn near explained the whole movie.
