dude. he still lost to sway. EMINEM, mr. king shit, mr. 8 mile himself, lost to a fucking MTV REPORTER who hasn't done SHIT in the industry. And anyone that's really listened to eminem freestyle (and I have, profusely) will readily acknowledge that he would get owned by a lot of people-- namely ludacris, nas, mos def...the list goes on. I fuckin' hate 'cris, but he could still own eminem in a freestyle battle, hands down.
And eminem destroyed Benzino. Whooo. Benzino. I'm impressed. Let's look at all the 'rappers' eminem has supposedly destroyed:
-Ja Rule
-Benzino
-Canabis
-Whitey Ford
-ICP
Hardly impressive, no?
I like eminem, and like I said, he's an amazing lyricist when he wants to be. But he's not a freestyle 'god' as everyone wants him to be, and he's never legitimately beefed with anyone who could even come close to him, so saying he's the best battle rapper is stupid. That's like saying the US has the best military in the world because we wiped the floor with Mexicos.
That's what pisses me off with eminem. If he would just put out one amazing album, that's as good as he's capable of doing, I'd sing his praises for all eternity. But he doesn't... he fucks around and doesn't do shit half the time. I don't think he's made his own "chronic" album, which is to say, his masterpiece, or his stillmatic. Because of it, he's still just overrated in my book.
