Em is the Tyson to rap, 2Pac is Ali. Many say Ali / Pac are the greatest because they were so authoritative, overpowering and influential. 2Pac also went out on a high. It'd be like Em getting killed after The Eminem Show.
But technically speaking, in any aspect, Eminem is far and above Pac or any other great. Just like Tyson is in terms of boxing skill. Fast, slow, angry, emotional, realistic, surreal, psychopathic, storytelling - Em has mastered 1,000 styles to 50 different subject matters and created 1,000 more.
To people who say he JUST talks about his daughter / mother etc. are idiots. Out of what, about 400 songs, he's maybe a total of what... Seven? Towards them both combined. Yeah, phew, what a gigantic percentage. In comparison to how many about the cops / drugs and gangstas with 2Pac? Lmao. Eminem can do what any great can, none of them can do what he can.
There are stans for every big artist espically in the rap game. 2Pac was waaaaay overrated just like Biggie was. Eminem is one of the best, but IMO he ain't the best. I put Big L in front of him simply because he had the best punch lines and lyrical content. I'm not comparing Big L to the new Em though because that would be unfair. For the time Big L was alive he was on the top of his game and if he was still alive he would be better than ever. And another rapper who not a lot of people give love to is Jadakiss. I'd say though skill wise they're both the same. Also Mos Def is a beast and his flow is untouchable imo. Please don't call me a retard or anything because this is all my opinion. I'm not trying to make fun of yours or anything either so don't take it the wrong way.
