A little backstory on stevie knight. He actually wasn’t a fan of Eminem, actually he thought Eminem was wack. He just started going into a deep dive of Eminem’s catalog and he that’s when he started, reluctantly at first, being more invested until he admitted (his own words) that he was wrong about Eminem. Know that every channel and it’s subscribers is a microcosm of an environment, they more likely than not have similar takes. If I’m a major ll cool j fan and I always big him him up with whatever pointers are come up with, most likely I will get subscribers wherein the majority think lol is the best ever. Everybody believes their reasons are irrefutable when they have a deep connection it’s their favourite artist, that’s just being human and it’s not a fault but at least be cognisant enough to know that it’s a possibility for that to be the case That being said, you don’t have to change your mind on Eminem but just don’t be be so hardheaded to think there aren’t people who actually like Eminem , not because if sales but just based on his music alone. It’s even narrow minded to think everyone would or should share your mindset. I’ve never understood why people like Kendrick to the level they like him, he’s definitely not wack but I kind stand his music sonically for the most part, the same as lil Wayne, he’s just an okay rapper to me. Impact has nothing to do with being a good rapper to me. Hence why I like rappers like Koo G rap, big l, pun, crooked i, Jeru etc.

[@leroygreen6310]

Stevie Knight is obviously just saying things to appeal to his white hard right wing audience. He don't really care about Em like that but repeating Em's name to a crowd of white people is easy money. It's that simple, he knows its true and he knows he's full of shit. I challenged him to debate and told him I think he's a jackass, he responded and it was clear he didn't want no issue. Congrats on his Eminem hustle but dude is a fraud. We have a mutual friend and no offense to him but that's what it is. If he was a real fan of Em's music he wouldn't have to spend years researching his songs cause he would already know them anyway. That's the basic common sense his crowd don't realize. Em been out for 20 years already.

Another good episode despite the constant cooping and disrespect to Pete rock in favor of Hit-Boy. Hit boy is not on the level of DJ Quik, Erick Sermon Daz DJ battlecat and many others much less to be in top 10 all time He hasn’t done that much to reserve such coveted Ranking. Clearly coop doesn’t know Pete rocks production catalog based on the way in which he speaks as if Pete rock’s Peak is the main ingredient or soul Survivor.Smh CL smooth, Pharoahe Monch, many more are highly underrated, But if you know you know.

Respectfully bro we're talking about Rza, Premo, Pete Rock 20 and 30 years into their career. Not doubting Hitboy but saying he's where they are is a stretch and its not about age its about the longevity of the beats.

[@adrielgreen6746]

@leroygreen6310 Very true. But I think what Coop is conveying is that we need to start having the conversation about Hit Boy being top 10 status. If not for nothing else, for his amazing versatility and ability to craft/curate entire projects that are dope for various artists/genres. For instance, the Musiq Souldchild project was tough. Premo is my 2nd favorite of all time, but I never thought his sound was very versatile...until he did the Christina Aguilera project. Stuff like that holds weight imo
