[@tiz6549]

Go back and research what other rappers have said about Eminem being the GOAT. Hell even 50cents has said this - now these are not my thoughts. I would not give that title to Em. Although he can rap BUT in my opinion he's not doing anything that hasn't been done before he came on the scene. No disrespect to him -:these are my opinion..
