That's right.  He appropriated black music and made it better.  Kind of like Elvis, so maybe Eminem is the Elvis of rap.  

Granted I'm not what you'd call a rap fan.  I don't care for who is shooting who, or how many bitches you fuged.  In fact I really haven't paid attention to rap since the late 80's, early 90's.  I've heard or seen the "top" rap songs since then and none of them compare to Eminem.  It's not just his lyrics, because lyrically there are other (few) rappers that are on his level.  It's how he can tell a story and how he emotes it.   And honestly Tupac is the only one to me that is close to Eminem.  

And yeah I'm bored.

Tech N9ne, when he wants to be, is the best rapper of all time, and he has been doing it longer than anyone currently.

Yes, Em is good, but he isn't the best ever.

He's probably done the best with the most adversity, but he isn't the best lyrically. He's top 5 but not #1.

It's all subjective but, to me at least, Biggie and Nas are ahead of Em too. One could argue that older dudes like KRS One, Outkast, etc. have done things better than most modern rappers too.

Not a big Eminem fan. GZA, Biggie, and Nas top him for sure. I do agree that he can paint a picture in some of his raps, just as these guys do and I think that is a must for a good rapper.  Tech n9ne is pretty good too.  My favorite, although not as mainstream, is Lord Infamous (associated w Three 6 Mafia). Lots of grimy gems that can dampen any sunny day.

"...leave them casket doors closed; nothing left but n**** guts.

take a paper sack; don't be at the funeral throwing up.

none of his remains, but the stains I left in his truck

sincerely yours, Lord Infamous Scarecrow."

You know nothing about Hip Hop but choose to start a thread to make outlandish, stereotypical statements about the subject.......

well, I agree with part of what you are saying....

but I wouldn't call it outlandish....as many of the most well respected rappers of all time have Em in their top 5.  Once you are in the top 5 it isn't outlandish to mix up orders.  I wouldn't have Em at the top though.  He is better than some IMO in a vaccum  that I have ahead of him but they get all time status edge on him for the path they made and set and allowed for others to piggyback and learn off of

Tech is an absolute machine.

That's why I say he's the best all time. Not many can ride a beat like he can, although many have tried. He's been a huge influence regionally on the midwest, and even nationwide with a lot of the more underground/real hip hop people out today.

He has his dumb songs and gimmicky moments, sure. But when he's really trying he kills it.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      339. WR Moose Muhammad III, Texas A&M Muhammad, the son of former NFL wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad II, is adept at using his body to keep coverage defenders away from the ball. He generated a 119.8 passer rating when targeted in 2024, ranking 25th in the draft class. 255. WR Kobe Hudson, UCF Hudson brings point guard-like movement to the receiver position and makes for a fun watch due to his short-area quickness. But his limited long speed and questionable catch rate likely make him a mid-round projection. 183. DI Jared Harrison-Hunte, SMU Harrison-Hunte is an intriguing prospect to develop, considering he has the frame to fill out and flashes very good athleticism (4.86-second 40-yard dash, 1.69-second 10-yard split). He needs to improve his pad level, but he uses his athleticism effectively to defeat blocks at the line of scrimmage, posting 44 pressures with eight sacks in 2024. 171. G Luke Kandra, Cincinnati Kandra's athleticism and measured approach to the game give him the floor of a solid zone scheme backup and an average starter's ceiling. The end result will depend on his ability to play with better pad level and flexibility.
