Rick Rubin Calls Eminem "Best Rapper," Kanye West "Consisten

[shadyblogger]

95% of the frequents of this section likely had never even heard or Rick Rubin until last yearand the remaining 5% probably wouldn't have cared to hear his opinion.

You take yourself too seriously. I've observed that lots of people here are Linkin Park fans. Surely, they would have heard of Rick Rubin even if they're not OG hip hop heads such as yourself.

I think he was saying something that's probably true but stating it lightly with some humor. I think you're the one being a bit serious.

Dude, I get it. But, I'm not the one insinuating that the 10 or so people that frequent this section are stupid. *laughing gif*

Calm down, there.

I only mentioned Yeezus because it's
his only album that is anywhere near
capable of criticism. Everything
besides that (and possible 808's) are
absolute masterpieces.

This isn't the place for this but; Graduation is average, CD and LR are great, MBDTF is flawless, Yeezus has it's moments.
808's is pretty good.
Only masterpiece is Twisted Fantasy.
That aside, you can't exclude/ignore an artist's personality when listening to his music, Kanye's douchebaggery was on showcase in Graduation, but I loved the hell out of it-
God put you in front of me, so how the hell could you front on me, there's a thousand yous there's only one of me
is one of the greatest, most relatable shit I've ever heard.
Eminem is/was a prick/bully pre-hiatus.
Rih's a bit of a slut.
Artist's personalities are usually the reason we listen to their music in the first place, you can't divorce one from the other.

Also, Amber Rose was a fucking stripper before she met Kanye. At least Kim has money lol

I'd much rather give Amber the D, tbh.
Broke, skank ex-stripper or not.

The condescension with which you Backstagers/HipHop Domain regulars treat the Eminem Section is, quite frankly, puzzling.
I haven't really had time to cause much of a ruckus because I've been busy with not failing school, but the shit is getting really annoying.
@bigray I'd feast on Amber, Kanye left over notwitstanding, but Kim has a bad case of diaper booty.

That's enough.
I hope this song comes out so people don't get all touchy when you tell them to you know what.

No matter what you think of Rubin, his opinion on who's the best emcee is likely the most valid. From LL and the Beastie Boys to Kanye and Em, he's seen a great amount of hip-hop culture to understand what being the best really means. Unlike a lot of producers today who would probably feel like they'd be handing in their ghetto pass by saying Em's the greatest, Rick has no reason to feel that way. His production is so varied in genre, that if he made a statement that caused controversy in the rap community, he could easily return to working with legendary rock icons.

And if you actually read the article, he basically describes everything that Em's already said himself. The whole bit about piles of notebooks and that every change in a beat makes Em go crazy, it's all the things that we already knew that made Eminem the legend that he is. So if anyone can give a valid, and non-biased opinion on who deserves to be recognized, it'd be the man behind the boards.
