For someone to sit there and say “Em is trash” “Eminem sucks ass” never really understood why Eminem is the best rapper. This man has influenced a lot of people in hip hop, he has gotten his respect and flowers from all the og’s, Eminem can still reach millions of album sales, his wordplay and his voice and his skills just shows it all.

Much Respect for this video, hearing Rakim say what he said about Eminem was cool.

[@meganlynn83]

Facts! Rakim said a lot more in that interview, if you haven't watched/heard it. The entire interview is on KZbin. 😊 Em shows love to the greats and hearing the greats recognize Em & his talent is amazing! I couldn't imagine how Em felt hearing the artists he looks up to, speak so highly of him. (Speaking on/of him and not just those in this video. There are plenty more out there, as I'm sure you already know.) Real recognizes real! 🖤

Word play, story telling, beat riding, animated, Adlibs, metaphors, similes, intricacy, complex, linking back up with earlier bars, splitting up words. Bars having multiple meanings (2 way street) emotion, hype, jaw dropping bars, innovative, vocabulary, makes other real emcees work harder. Makes them also hear an em line and wish they came up with it = Em

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.

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]

[@joearchuleta4411]

My opinion is that too many people fail to recognize The D.O.C. as one of the best lyricist that changed rap at the time he came into the Rap scene no one could do it nearly as clever or with the style he had. I strongly feel if there wasn't an issue with his voice being no longer functioning as it did he would still be as "mind Blowing" as was from the gate. With all due respect his Helter Skelter regardless how he sounds is lyrically hard as pfuk and DOC is a beast with how he came with it for sake of all the fans and to show he could still do it. Personally when I listen to it being I'm such a fan of the man hear in my head how it would be sounding as he sounded in "No One Can Do It Better" so I tip my hat to him for staying who he is.

Em payed his dues and layed the groundwork for his success. He never had an elevator that took him to the top, he went the long route and just about made it when it seemed like it was all in vain. Lyrically there isn't anoyone that's outright better, subject matter is subjective so I could understand that not everyone relates to what he's talking about. I never sold a gram of any drug in my lifetime yet "Can I Live" by Jay Z is one of my all time favorite songs. A lot of people that listen to Future or any rapper that talks about drugs aren't doing drugs, so what is all this "the hood don't f with it" talk about ? I didn't like everything Em dropped in recent years but that doesn't take away anything from his pen and the acolades he attained. Hip Hop is global, it's just that Lord Jamar who couldn't go gold for 30 + years is mad because a white boy is the most succesful artist ever.

[@Just_For_Kixz]

Planetary… “Dude prolly being bumped on Mars”

[@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.

[@BigBug6530]

Been over 20 years now. He's still at sharp end. Most inspired rhymes. Personality being squirted in boiling jets of lyric foam. Through the speakers, right down yer mind tank!.🙉🔥😝

[@theinsaneunknown]

Calico definitely said it best. Much respect for the ones who can admit the truth.

[@emiliohayward7149]

"People sleep on Jada!" Naw bro people be sleeping on Tech N9ne but Em is definitely one of the GOATS and pioneers of hip hop regardless of what people try to say or even if they don't like him, they definitely will respect him

[@bellestar5960]

Wow I’m truly surprised at how so many hold Em so high up. I haven’t really listened to him in a minute and I’m about to go back.

[@deankissell3196]

I love the honesty on 2pac

[@Silver_79]

Yea Pac was sumpin else…..a lot of cats seem to act like what Pac did wasn’t that impressive or he wasn’t that lyrical….Pac was a story teller. His tone, inflection, cadence, passion hasn’t been matched since. He exists outside of the “top” lists for me. His music didn’t touch you because of his rhyme scheme or technical ability. It hit you because you could feel his emotion in the music. He had the right voice, and knew how to use his voice in the music to convey how he felt…….He was just sumpin else.

[@MrMessyb]

@@Silver_79 perfect summary. Been saying this for years. I don’t love Pac for his lyrical ability or technical rhyme patterns, he definitely still a good rapper but it was the feeing and emotion in his music.

[@anthonyrusso3177]

i am so glad some of the ppl said the thing i always fought with ppl about, em raps about his life and what he went through, jay z biggie and the rest of them have songs with crazy beats but they talking about all the ppl they killed and all the drugs you sold, you mean to tell me if em wanted to make a album like that he cant? not only is he the best wordsmith there is no fucking doubt he be ali, jordan and babe ruth in one after he drops a album like that. like those guys said ppl talk about the smoke and mirrors of rap songs because everyone wanna be a gangster. in my whole life i never seen a real gangster make a song what they do in the streets and this is why i was glad ppl brought that point out, if em did songs like that and the way he raps the game is over. 50 said it the best, get anyone you want to battle or what ever make a song or what ever rules you want nobody is beating em and he will beat everything he has lol

[@absamyrankin898]

Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time.

[@kjnewman7518]

I really don't think there will ever be another em. EVER.

[@tellomajorscamp1407]

Eminem always Showed respect to the OGs before him. The OGs come from an era of respect and so theyre reciprocating the respect back not only because of his unique talent!!!

[@RojoCube]

Em killed MGK so hard he made him quit rap and become a alternative pop star. He's made people quit rap but not to go to a different genre

[@JBeams-nz7xk]

Who's the number #1 rapper of all time? - Jay z Where's Em? - right above Jay z 🤣🤣🤣🤣 💯

I wonder why people never mention Treach He's nice with it. Lyrics also need to mention Black Thought Common

[@anthonypresley1980]

Em mentions him a lot in interviews. Honestly Em always gives the Greats their flowers. Believe he said treach inspired him ALOT as well 👌🏾

the first time that i heard rakim & the game interview i was so happy how much they respect him I almost lost it😂😂😂

After 50 minutes straight goosebumps when the verse to say goodbye hollywood started. This song is well underrated!

[@thoughtsofapredicatewinner]

Whoever was interviewing Lux just didn’t understand what he was saying when he asked if it would put fear in his heart? Like dog u ain’t hearing me… u don’t understand…. That’s EVERYTHING that’s gonna ultimately be the ONE that SHOWS me who I am

[@mattl5797]

All the greats: Rakim is the GOAT. Rakim: Eminem is nasty. If Eminem was black he'd be the next Muhammad Ali.

[@sharonbird2631]

I love Em and 50 the best to ever do it 👍💜☘️

[@Roccofan]

I call them lyrical inflection points and they are rare. 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.

[@gollese]

Lyricist, lyricist, lyricist... Now thats beyond LYRICIST, EM G.O.A.T

[@jessicamarie42503]

I’m really surprised that most people in this comment section are being nice with opinions and are still giving Eminem respect even though he’s not their favorite or goat in their mind. Really surprising to see.

[@LiveStoicism]

That's because you can't hate on Em when you pretty much have the Mt. Rushmore of greats giving props to the man. What are you going to say to negate what they're saying?

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.

NICE LIST FOR REAL

[@DirtyJamesUK]

Tupac is very easy to underrate, as he wasn't a skills MC or a rhymer. His writing was more a diary entry of emotions and his take on important topics, derived from being a Poet. His writing is nowhere near as simplistic as some people say, and that's is why I believe he is definitely a hip hop great and some of his music is timeless. I wasn't even a fan when he was alive. I like skilled rhymers. But Pac was definitely a legend! RIP 🙏

[@white-man41]

this video is not about 2 pac is about Emenem

[@x0rn312]

People miss a lot of the stuff that he is doing. He's the master of alliteration. He is so rhythmic and intense in his delivery - he owns the beat like no one else. Usually the people who hate on Pac are New York dudes who want 'witty' Street Hustler shit and think that's the height of lyricisn in hip-hop... Tupac's on a whole other level... he's not a dude in Times Square trying to sell you a CD he's Malcolm X giving a speech to the whole world. And he could do the intricate internal rhyme scheme lyrucal miravle thing he just didn't do it for no reason to show off, when he did it it was to say something profound, like in Me Against the World: "Dreamin of riches/in the position/ of making a difference/politicians / and hypocrites/they don't wanna listen"
