I still stick by him being ridiculously overrated.

Even his flow on that is nowhere near as tight as Nas or Em's. Certainly not Em's. Even Em back in fucking 97, his precision and timing was SOOO much tighter. And his rhymes.

He doesn't compare man, he switches between double-time n standard a lot but some of his timing is still off like... With Em for example instead of quickly rushing in a word if it doesn't rhythmically fit, he breaks off the syllable so you have to listen to the next half to hear the whole word and it sounds right. Jay kinda glides over a beat, Nas surfs it but Em fucking... Becomes the beat, it's like he's glued to it.

Hmm someone can't read titles. This is not an Eminem nut hugging thread.

I'm responding to the OP. The first part of his post.

I can read the title I just choose to ignore it, there's a difference. Somebody can't tell it.

[ChinaShopTaurus]

I am the OP. You're a faggot.

Influence wise, sales wise, popularity wise he's top 5 no doubt.

People's preferences will always bias their top 5. If you like Eminem's content odds are you won't like Jay's.

[EminemBase]

jigga overrated for sure, never a top 5 MC.

with that said, hes still put out some good music, i really couldnt name a top song, but like Al said the black album is pretty tight.

True.

And to the Original Poster, when I used OP I meant Original Post. I was responding to your Original Post. You dull cunt.

i said MC.


thats nothing to do with influence sales or popularity.

i could name 30 MC's that spit better than Jay-Z.

and that BP3 album is wack as fuck.

So MC's don't have popularity and don't sale albums? My bad.

Only 30? I could name 50.

So was Relapse?
