For copyright reasons I had to cut out the bit with Lord Jamar calling Eminem a "guest", and another one saying he doesn't hate him but hate the fact that he's considered the best MC, some Talib Kweli contributions, etc. Original video was closer to an hour, so some transitions (especially in part 3) may come off as odd.

Yeah but some of them are being pretty harsh on Tupac. That guy was certainly a genius, just not in the skilled rhyming sense. Some of the tracks he made are more timeless than the vast majority of rap records. I'd even say he's the closest thing to rap's version of Bob Marley.

[@toxicbreez4277]

@@DirtyJamesUK this conversation is about lyricism, technical ability. Pac was a poet, he had powerful music due to his philosophy, and his content/substance is what made his music great. But he wasn't spitting bars, and didn't have super intricate rhyme schemes. So they aren't being harsh on Pac at all, they're just for once telling the Raw truth, and not kissing ass.. 💯🤷🏼‍♂️ it's refreshing actually, to hear the organic, authentic, genuine TRUTH be spoken..

[@adammatthew9984]

Your dumb as shit. Lyrically Pac is top 3 all time. When you can make words rhyme that aren't supposed to rhyme and using words that nobody else uses that's Pac. He turns his lyrics into stories. That try and separate rappers from lyricist are right but the ppl that try and separate lyricist to poets are just hating. There's rappers and Lyricist and that's it.

I like calico a decent amount. He isn't my favorite but he had an really good point. "Can you name 4 ppl better then Em? You might like them more but can you say they're better?" That's a potent spin. Many ppls list of top 5 are who they like the most. But honestly skills on the table. Em has to be top 5

[@cmac8722]

Personally, i think if we're going off of skills/lyricism, Em isn't top 5 simply because he's on his own level that nobody else is reaching, we'll leave that list for others to fight over. There is nobody that has better skills than Em on a mic. Your point about top 5 lists is right though. Everybody's top 5 is always who they like most. A top 5 never takes skill into consideration, and really, they aint supposed to. A top 5 list is personal to that person. . My top 5 won't be your top 5, we may have a couple the same but I bet they won't match

[@matthewdustin7353]

[@jbwuzhere6819]

The hood inspired Eminem. The hood created the techniques he has now absorbed and mastered. That's right. He IS a master rhymer but he isn't the first or the only current master. What people like Lord Jamar understands is that being highly skilled doesn't gaurantee popularity. Popularity like Em's can't be predicted based on skill. What's popular changes constantly and doesn't signify superiority . However, you could predict that if we ever got a great white rapper that the media and the mainstream/casual listeners would overreact and declare him the goat. It's the Tiger Woods effect done in reverse. People that never cared about rap suddenly became experts on the craft. Tiger actually has tangible proof of dominance whereas Eminem does not. You can't use popularity and record sales to define art especially if the culture that invented said art is not consulted or taken into account when determining it's proper value. You can make him your goat but he isn't ours AND it's not because he's white.

[@JamesSmith-1036]

I said it back when I first heard "My name is" at the club. That this guy will be around for a long time. Two weeks later I see the video on BET. " Wait that is a white guy?"

Inflection points in math are those areas on a graph where a line changes direction..it’s going at a 20 degree angle and then shifts of a 30 degree angle. The 40 degree change was Rakim and then the next one was Eminem. All others, in their era, were just in their orbit, they didn’t ratchet up the level of innovation. I would say that the next inflection point was Fred The Godson. When I heard him, my mind was blown. The layers to his lyrics were other worldly. His word play was unmatched . _If black’s bored, you can get chalked_ . I had to rewind almost every song. _With Louie on, ‘til they cut ya ass_ (you have to know some French history to fully get that bar….deep). Check out his “God Level” album…pure genius.

@@turtleanton6539 Storytelling (insert top 5 em songs that made u think lol) Wordsmith (self explanatory) Humor(just had to be alive those early 2000s) Fast rap (bro definite understatement) Battling (we need to see something new like him vs daylyt and literally I will never ask him to battle again) He can get dark n twisted as well as rugged and steadfast He mainly out raps whomever he's on a song with and whatever "beef" he gets into ends...quickly Like so many things man fr fr

When God MC speaks....the rap world listens. Rakim has been in my playlist longer than I think anyone. Maybe LL Cool J but I cannot remember so many decades ago lol. And for him to give Eminem such a great deal of respect.....you know it is fact. Coming from Rakim.

The fact that Lupe is overlooked so often is a travesty as a Lyrical Great it’s mind blowing

[@CMLemcee]

It’s like he got the whole package! Fucks wit it

[@mickgauntlett5502]

Can’t believe people, Saying Eminem didn’t change the style of rap but I’m not surprised at what I’ve seen from some of the legend.

The Pac shade is crazy!

[@RackEmRack]

50 explained it so logically. Whether you believe Eminem is the goat or not, 50 is putting his money on his mans, CONFIDENTLY

[@clue276]

[@kevinhatchett5136]

It's Krazy how he over looked biggie smalls and Jadakiss 📝

[@user_unknown1488]

you know that in eminems mind that he would never put himself above rakim, kane, caz, g rap, D.O.C. moe dee, krs, cube, busta, monch, LL, shan, ice t & melle mel ... he knows that he built his style upon his influences and in his heart he would never put himself above his teachers of the craft... and thats what makes him the greatest, he knows that he has expanded upon the forefathers of lyricism ... so its great that his forefathers can look down on him with a sense of pride.

EMINEM IS A SCHOOL IN HIP HOP. A UNIVERSITY. THE FLOW AND CONTENT WAS UNIQUE. HES INFLUENCED GENERATIONS.

The music is touching your soul 🙌 Truth 💖

[@francishodge5189]

Dr Dre and Eminem changed the dynamic in the hip hop world in the early 2000s Not dissing anyone dealing with his personal issues and people connected with him He deserves the respect for going in another direction and through rapping he was being truful no faking no BS He never disrespected anyone in the black music rapping hip hop world, black rappers inspired him He never said he was greatest ever the twisted media causing drama Eminem is just a white rapper Grow in a white trailer park trash black music hip hop culture inspired him but be true and original to the core Tupac, Big E Smalls RIP Will always be the greatest rappers of all time to me as a white person peace

[@mattmetcalf3747]

Thank you Kool G for putting Scarface on a list. Dude gets no love for being one of the GOATs

As a basketball lover, I can see basketball differently from the average basketball fan. It’s interesting to hear other rappers talk about other rappers. They see things differently. I would think 2pac would be up here but it is interesting that these guys have a different opinion about him.

[@Thumper68]

I think when they saying top 10 lyricists pac just outside but as an hip hop artist overall and influential to the industry and culture he’s definitely top 10
