Did Eminem surpass his mentor Dre?

Postby strongboy_f5 » Dec 22nd, '08, 16:48

I mean his music is much more appreciable and the fame is on top of all rappers. So dont u guys think Dre's a complete idiot? Even now he keeps producing Eminem's music and still all credit goes to Em.

tough one to answer. i mean i guess u can take all the albums and mixtapes dre made and put em against EM's and see who has sold the most. that is if u just want to see the money side of it. u got to understand dre has done things Em will never do. and Em has done things dre never could do. i guess u can't really say one is better than the other. u will have peeps say dre is better or Em is better, but that is just a fan's opinion. they both established themselves in different times. i do bet that dre loves all the money Em brings in for him.

In the end, if turns out that Relapse is better than Detox, then yes, yes he did.

I kind of agree with Eminem1976, it depends on which fans perspective you look at it from.
There will always be people who think Dre's better then Slim, and vice versa.
Personally, I think it's a pretty close call. Sure, I listen to Eminem more than I listen to Dre, but in a way I listen a lot to Dre to, considering he produced a hell lot of tracks for Eminem.
Rap wise, I think Eminem surpassed him, but not beat-wise.

If that makes any sense...? :unsure:

It really is in the opinions of the fans because both Dre and Em changed rap, they both sold phenomenonly, and they are both still working hard in music both producing and writing, so preference is all it is.

Dre is not an idiot, and yes obviously Eminem has surpassed Dre.

On most points yeah but he doesn't have the rep of Dr. Dre at producing although I consider him one the best.

Dre had his time to shine. He's now all about the money and thats wat i believe coz if he wasn't then i believe he wouldn't concentrate on producing Em's music mostly. I don't think Em has surpassed Dre entirely since Dre does most of the productions on Em's albums.

Dre make as much money as make from his albums
maybe not the same but pretty good cash :y:
Cuz we done swam with the sharks, wrestle with alligators
Spoke to a generation of angry teenagers
Whom if it wasn't for rap to bridge the gap
Maybe raised to be racist
Who may have never got to see our faces
Grace the cover of Rolling Stone pages
Broke down barriers of language and races

depends on which area you are referring to?

Is it beat making? then no, Dre is still better, (but it can change, eminem is improving)
Is it rapping? then yes, Eminem was always a better rapper
