TDE ain't the same though, they don't do group records as often. I mean, for good reason, they work great in certain combinations, but still it's not the same.
And yeah better lyrics is pretty debatable, Joell could smoke them all out any day of the week and probably Crooked too. Better people? lol?
Marshall Mathers was straight. When I look back though I would never listen to that shit nowadays.

He hould be 80% funny and 20% angry. MMLP feels like 80% angry. I mean, just check the difference between "Just the Two of Us" and "Kim".
I still like MMLP, but Slim Shady was Eminem at his best.
I can see Eminem as the best battle rapper out there, but that doesn't mean he's the best when it comes to albums, discography (Probably Kanye, Pac, Biggie if he counts, Dre, etc.), etc.
how do you feel about recovery? to me, some of it sounds wanky.. rihanna and shit? but his verse on NO LOVE is just fucking out of the park. i've never heard anything that tight. he didn't spit shit like that on the SSLP. or MMLP. or anything after.. over a decade later the dude is slaying shit harder than he ever has? what the fuuuuuuck.

Em at his prime was a beast... At first I hated cause I thought he was a gimmick but dude was legit as hell. I will say this though to be an asshole. Whenever Royce isn't around he sucks. Royce is his damn muse.
Also prime Jay, Nas, Big L, Kool G, Big Pun, and Biggie all are better rappers than prime Em.
He went into Nas mode. We can still witness moments of brilliance, but he never released a good album again.
I'm with enzo too, Eminem never released a classic like Nas, Jay, Kanye, Pac or Biggie did.
As would Hov and 50.

Eminem is just too corny for me sometimes. Even his No Love verse had streaks of corniness in it.
Oh come on! 50 can make good club songs, but that's it. No way he's on Em's level in any other way.
Cube dealt more damage to real, live targets than Eminem ever did.
edit: no shit im not talking about Ice Cube in 2012.
i have no idea what you're trying to say, eschaton.
pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Prime Cube took shots at NWA. Em made fun of pop idols, a magazine editor and Ja Rule.

How the fuck is Big L gonna battle Em today?
agreed. his mouth still works.
jay would be like "derp duuurppp uhhh uhmmm im rich ejkc" like.... seriously. if such a thing (jay vs. em battle) was even an option... i dont think jay would be into it. at all.
he's too wealthy to agree to being made to look retarded.
I'm saying that Eminem's targets are weak and pathetic. Emimem's kill list includes basically his family (lol), a bunch of underground rappers, and Mariah Carey.
Ice Cube is like Joe Frazier in terms of competition. Eminem is like Roy Jones knocking out janitors and weekend volunteer national guard members.
and LOL at a battle 'today' versus prime for prime,smh

God I can't believe I listened to all of immortal tech's albums, but I was young and didn't know any better. I could say the same for Em, but at least the dude makes me laugh and fills me with nostalgia.

he ain't never died
Edit: Jeez, some of this SSLP stuff is real cringe worthy, I'm mid way through it. Em's still a great story teller.
Lmfao.
I just saw a Budweiser commercial with him in it last night and his voice sounded weird as fuck. Like Jay was crying or something when they did the voiceover. Never paid attention so maybe he's always been like that, but damn.

this might be the only good post on this page
I feel Biggie would have some fun, witty punchlines against him too.

Immortal technique had that one really good album with the cocaine song on it. I remember when it dropped people passed the CD around on my college campus like it was a copy of the Anarchist Handbook full of forbidden knowledge and shit...
Exactly. What better target is there than a guy who makes his whole career about hanging his dirty laundry out there for everyone?
As for 50... Dude has more rap beefs than probably any other guy in the game ever besides Jay and hes still standing.
That's fucking stupid. So they're gonna parrot the same shit to Em that he already made music about? That shit has NO power when Em has already taken ownership of it in his music.
If L battled Em in his prime, but yeah point moot.
Em is unfuckwittable in a battle then, it's clear.
Depends on how you define standing, because his musical career has been on a limp for about 3 years now. BISD was a valiant effort but not enough to keep him relevant. Dude dug his own grave with his perpetual nonsense without the music to back it up. 50 is a relic today.

Not sure how I feel about the beat but Lupe kills it.

So do you not understand the idea of how you can take someone's account of something like that along with their personality and use it to mock them? Obviously you don't take something like that and make it ammunition directly. You spin it, flip it, and embellish it in the right way to make someone mad.
Is this not obvious?
im not denying he's not able to make music anyone cares about right now. But that's not a product of beef.
Is it not obvious that no amount of flipping or embellishing wouldn't do shit to Em? I'm not even a huge fan of his but I don't think there's any way, 50 in particular, could flip that shit into anything more painful than the way Em already has.

I thought Lupe was religious (praying over that white pussy).
:lol damn Lupe, dude is on his own dick so hard.

So Mystikal just came on a playlist I was listening to on Spotify, and I feel like DMX gets too much rep as the 'angry rapper'.
Mystikal sounds like he's grinding his teeth to the gums during this song, and he sounds so mad that he's not even sure what to say with his lyrics.

Biggie would crush everyone. Guy generally seemed nice, but he could unload on anyone. His vocabulary and flow is too insane to keep up with to this day
