I think Eminem is the greatest writer of all time

[Blu]

I know it seems like a crazy statement, but I honestly believe it.

From "Above The Law":

Can't top it, so what the fuck would I sugarcoat it for?
Law? Fuck protocol, I'd holla at this ho, but now my throat is sore

The beauty is in the last line. "I'd holla at this hoe, but now my throat is sore". First off, when was Em ever the type to stop himself from bashing a hoe? "Kim" has Em screaming at a hoe for six minutes!

He's acknowledged something we don't like. It's genius, because you don't even think about it at first. The verse does have him screaming throughout, and the listener would only think that he's not going to "holla at this ho" because his throat is indeed sore.

That line alone just disproves everyone saying Eminem is a shitty rapper right now.

You've finally come to your senses.

Well Eminem certainly isn't a 'shitty rapper' by ANY means right now.

He's a fucking amazing rapper, he's just capable of saying extremely corny things that you would have never heard him say in a million years before. But a line or two don't ruin a whole verse for me.

I love his constant flow and delivery experimentation post-Comeback, he's really ramped it up and taken his voice and flows places I couldn't have imagined before.

I just hope he gets more conceptual with the new content. And sorts the production.

Of all time? Like.......greatest writer to have ever lived? if that's what you meant then that's a bullshit statement.

Yeah man I think it's fucking pathetic that people let one or two lines ruin a whole verse...

I think Eminem along with Tupac and Shakespeare are the best of all time.

Shakespeare is a lot better than Tupac and Eminem lol

[Eedee]

Tupac is not a modern-day Shakespeare... roflcopter.

But yes. Eminem is one of the greatest writers of all time.

don't roflcopter to Pac, bitch.

[Eedee]

Tupac is seriously overrated... I've heard him, bigray.

[PAINKILLƎR]

Fuck the word overrated, and the people who use it.

2Pac is severely overrated. I have listened to all of his albums and he was a great writer for his time but Eminem is miles ahead of him.

Everyone compares Pac to Shakespeare because Pac always acted like a poet. He acted like he was a gifted artist. He knew how to touch people's hearts, though. I'll give him that.

Pac's lyrics are mostly straight-forward. Whereas Eminem's lyrics are a maze. I believe it was EminemInsider that said, "No one knows why Eminem is so good," and I fully agree with him.

No one is denying this, but saying he's overrated is ridiculous.

[Blu]

Why do you start arguments, only to back out? It's so irritating.

If Pac didn't act like a poet, then prove me wrong. Prove to me that people don't just overrate him because at the time there was no one that could pull off the image of a thug and a mother-lover.

[Eedee]

Tupac is all of your favorite rappers favorite rapper and he is in every single top 5 dead or alive rappers list.

What an asinine argument.
