Eminem is the best solo rap artist in history!!!!!

[SUPERDIMI]

My favorite MC of all time is Nas. My favorite rapper is Ghostface(used to be Scarface and Spice 1). Historical favorite is KRS-One.

It's so many angles you can take to the favorite rapper question. I'm just glad rap is around to enjoy. I like it. Some don't. I don't really like guitar noises. But Aerosmith makes some pretty damn good music. Put them up there with Prince and Stevie Wonder.

God I love music.

Eminem can rap but all in all is a joke; that is not an opinion it is fact mind you. Smoov-E is a white rapper with way more promise and skills than "Em"(that does sound like a girl's nickname, no?)
As far one of the top if not the top rapper to me it comes down to one man, E-40! Everyone steals his terminology time after time and few can spit ryhmes near his level. He is versatile in his delivery and lyrics. And might I add is a better actor than Eminem.
And trust this he has been around for a decade and will be around for years to come, few can say that. He's got folks from the Bay bumpin' his jams nonstop because his shit is "the knock."
So all you cats if you don't know 40 go ahead and take a listen, ya smell me?

Name what you consider to be E-40's top 7 songs, and name some good songs by Andre Nickatina (besides Ayo & Fears of a Coke Lord) & Do or Die (besides Victory). I want to hear what the Bay Area is all about. The best E-40 song I've ever heard was "Rep Yo City", where he rapped with a bunch of southern rappers.

E-40 is cool. Not that he is a good rapper, he's just cool to me. If I ever went to Valejo, I hope he would hang out with me. His cool songs to me were: Hurrican, Captain save a ho, Sprinkle me, and others that someone who is more E-40 savy could mention.

Do or Die-Everything off their first album is awesome. Twista is way better than either dude on do or die though. Now that he's with the Roc I hope that his talent is recognized by the general public.

I don't know who Andre Nickatina is.

Those who have read this who are not from the Bay now have a good idea of the flavor the Bay Area brings to the music industry.
A Good site is http://www.gwynjones.freeserve.co.uk/westside2000/index.htm
they are set-up pretty good if you want more info.

Sorry if this post wasn't exactly short but it will help those who want to know what's up. By the way SUPERDIMI so you know its Vallejo. And yes, Twista is the shit so get all you can from him!

 

[marvelous]

I must say that em doesn't have shit on the bay rappers. Yah the boy can come up with some catchy lines, but so does Nickatina, and Savage C and many more. Em is a cute white boy which sells hella. All the middle class white kids are now hearing his songs and hes selling big, why because they have money. I know all the kids at my school have his cd's and know all the songs. But you go to frisco and listen to the shit they have and it blow you away. The beats knock, and people out here have respect for them. I must say that dude that went on about mac dre, luniz, smoov-e, e-40 got some good taste in music. He didn't give any love to cellski, 11/5, or NH. Check them out, its pretty sick

Eminem is good but im better than him when he was my age (17). I saw this special on BET which showed him rapping at a younger age. He rhymed the same word in every line. That's weak.

As for skill he isnt all that great anyway. Biggie was much better when it came to lyrics. Ya Eminem does rhyme i'll give him that, but sometimes his lyrics make no sense or one line is completely unrelated to the last one (even though it rhymes with it).

Example:
"You cant tell me shit about the tricks of this trade/Switch blade with a little switch to switch blades"

Now it may rhyme but it sure doesnt make much sense. He doesnt even make the transition into this rhyme very smooth. He goes from talking about his kowledge, to talking about blades.

I mean he has skill, but it's overrated.

PERSONALLY, I HATE NAS. ILLMATIC, STILLMATIC, NASTRADOMOUS, ALL OF IT. I NVR LIKED NAS AT ALL. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS VOICE SOUNDING LIKE HE IS PRE PUBESCENT. I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD THAT B/C I DONT WANT THAT TAKING UP SPACE ON MY COMP. SIMPLE AS THAT.

ITS FUNNY HOW YOU ARE TELLING ME WHAT I WOULD LIKE AND WOULDNT LIKE JUST IF HIS VOICE SOUNDED DIFFERENTLY.

AND ANOTHER THING...NAS IS THE WORST ACTOR IN THE WORLD. IN "BELLY" IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS READING CUE CARDS EVERY FUCKING SCENE. HALF OF HIS SHIT DOESNT EVEN FLOW NICELY.

RAKIM IS THE SHIT. WHOEVER SAID BIG WAS GREAT NEEDS A HEARING AID.

Eminem is the one with the voice of a teenage bitch not Nas. I don't see how acting relates to rap.

Re: Hmmmm.....

Seems most of yall need a history lesson when we are talkin whose the best!!! If it was not for Eric Wright a.k.a Eazy E then none of this would have ever been here today!!! The money behind Ruthless Records which was the first music to use the gangsta tone with all the curses in the lyrics and shit. Dr. Dre wanted in becuase he had no where else to go sooo pretty much Dre is a bitch compared to Eazy. Not that im shutting him out i think some of Dre's lyrics are good but he couldn't hang with Eazy or Death Row records when he was with them. Now After N.W.A is when we start to see the best lyrics arrive in Gangster Rap. That would be Mr. Tupac Shakur a.k.a Makevelli a.k.a Blac Haze and whatever other names u want to call em!!! If it weren't for EZ i don't think 2pac would have been what he was and if it weren't for Tupac that fake bitch Biggy would have never had a chance. Snoop and all the others are just good rappers but nothing great compared to Pac I.M.O Then we see Eminem come along...the greatest white rapper!!!! Eminem has some aweosme lyrics and if i had to pick a white and a black rapper it would surely be Eminem and Tupac!!! We can't be sure however if Em is really as str8 up as he claims to be. What if shit were to go down would he punk out like a bitch or maybe would he possibly turn his back like Biggy did on Tupac!!! I.M.O Tupac was the best cause he was the reelest in the game. Look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself would u really give your life, money, whatever it took to keep your boys out of trouble amongst the smallest things. If you answer "NO" then by the code of true gangsters you'd just be a bitch like Biggy and some of the others!!!

2pac is not blac haze. I believe blac haze got shot for trying to pull that shit, suggesting he was pac by biting his style--calling his album Reshurecshun, that exit makaveli, enter blac haze shit, and all the other low shit he did.

Eminem might be in the top 5 of the best white rappers, but he's not the best. Aesop rock, slug, akrobatik are all better. Eminem is a bitch and will do whatever it takes to sell records.

His target audience is insecure dumbass teenagers (Teenagers who watch mtv, teenagers who aren't funny but quote movie lines inccorectly in a pathetic attempt to look funny, etc.) Pretty tough audience to get sales from that's for damn sure...
