Em is easily one of the most versitile emcees ever, Rakim rapped about rapping for 20 years, Big Daddy Kane was the same, Raekwon raps about pushing coke on every album, Jay has boasted for his entire career, Em has rapped about so many different topics that its near impossible for him to rap about something new, unless you want him to drop a mafioso album, and if he did that, he'd still be critisised
I think its ridiculous that Em gets critisied for rapping about similar subjects when nearly every rapper 15 years into their career has done the same
True that. Never really looked at it that way.
To be honest with you man, and I HATE to say this, but if Em was black, hardly anybody would critisise him for rapping about the same things, because bar Masta Ace and Andre 3k, I couldnt name any other emcee that hasn't, I'd rather hear some speak about their life than fantasy drug/street tales, and even IF Em did rap about those things, he'd still be hated on, dude is in a lose lose situation
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
