these arguement never goes ANYWHERE,can go in circles all day about mainstream vs. underground...in the same way you say we block out em's skills cause he is successful you are doing the same thing by not listening to the artists mentioned. so if you want to make it a close-minded issue it can go both ways.
its all a matter of opinion,why cant you just live with the fact that we have an opinion? why is that so hard for people? especially when it comes to mainstream artists. i see more people get butthurt over mainstream artists than i do local artists from their town on here. eminem could care less that you are fighting his battles on siccness.net, so give it a break. so as long as eminem isnt a blood relative it really shouldnt be a big deal to you.
eminem might not be the worst rapper ever but he definity the most overrated...for future reference here is a list of just white rappers that are better....just like bolic said,i have said the exact same thing before,not only is he not the best,he doesnt crack my top 25
aesop rock
ill bill
a-wax
eyedea
apathy
esoteric
sabac
diobolic
vinnie paz
slug
mad son
big jess
cage
copywrite
braille
sage francis
the grouch
sean boog
joe scudda
dutch
q-unique
crypt the warchild
planetary
eligh
goretex
there is 25 just off the top of my head,people i listen to ona regular basis,not even pullin names out my ass...i know people can back me up on that too.
what i am trying to say is that from my perspective there is so many more options than just the vanilla plain jane answer of eminem. not saying you need to listen to all these artists,but just open your eyes to what else is out there,there is more to rap then MTV and who rakim tells you is the best,think for yourself
