Is Em Really The Best Rapper Alive Right Now?

[MistaVijilantee]

Hopsin 4 me. If you could recreate a modern Eminem that sounds like the older shady and turn him black, you get Hopsin. The most real cat around.

You like Hopsin for the wrong reasons. That's why people keep calling him an Eminem clone, it's because of people like you.

Hopsin has his own persona, he might have some Slim Shady influences, but all of that became less and less obvious after RAW dropped. He's putting his own character and thoughts in his music. So please, stop liking Hopsin.

I hate the Eminem/Hopsin comparison.
Eminem is a pioneer of a certain style that has been emulated by countless MC's, not just Hopsin.
Hopsin took influence from Shady's attitude, presence, personality and style and translated that through his music and interpretation.

Yes he is. The man is a living legend. He's like what Pac would be right now if he hadn't been assassinated. Eventually Pac would have stopped releasing as much material, and "fallen off" in some people's eyes as he got older. He died young though and became immortal. Had Em been killed after The Eminem Show he would have been immortalized in the same way (though by a different audience). Regardless of what he's done since he was initially thrust into super-stardom his initial catalog speaks for itself. Fact is, he could still rap circles around anyone who is considered good right now and he's past his prime. That speaks volumes right there.

If eminem was one of the greatests in 2002 why wouldnt he be the greatest now. I mean it's still the same Eminem right? even if the music is different. The "best" eminem is still alive.
Besides these new rappers arent that awsome. Hopsin is alright but nothing special and kenrdick is just overhyped retard. Lupe is cool tho.

Kendrick is just "overhyped retard"? Gtfo you idiot.

There's a reason Kendrick's getting all that praise; he's the best rapper out right now. Will he be bigger than Eminem? Probably not. But he's certainly a better rapper.

i liked the part where you forgot that kenrick sucks

Maybe now, when Em is just fucking around and Kendrick is fresh. But, is this one of you hard facts that you hit us with?

GKMC & Section.80 > anything Em's released since TES

THAT is a fact.

[Fleka]

I don`t agree. But that is not the point. You said that Kendrick is a better rapper and that that is certain.

"Pour Explainup drank, head shot drank
Sit down drank, stand up drank
Pass out drank, wake up drank
Faded drank, faded drank"
so dope
only thing better than his lyrics is his delivery

^not rlly a part of the verses tho..

[Blu]

HAHAHAHAH oh my god. He really tried to use the chorus from Swimming Pools as a way to show how bad Kendrick is...

Have you even listened to the song idiot?

[Trimss]

Raw >>>>> Section 80

Knock Madness (u will see) >>>>>>>> GKMC

EM >>>>>>> Kendrick

Don't bring this all they will do is hate on Hopsin for no reason.

[Trimss]

He's overhyped because it's been a long time since there was a dope rapper like that who gets great reviews AND great sales.

But he deserves it because he's truly great.

bigray, DON'T post shit like that if you're gonna pull the opinion card. I was ready to type up a five page essay on why Kendrick is better...
