Rakim on Eminem.(Video).

Postby EM1973 » Dec 4th, '10, 03:56

This is the video with the quote "Em is nasty man, I tell people to this day...if Em was black...he’d be the next Muhammad Ali.” - Rakim
The interviewer is an Em hater.GTFOH.
Respect to Rakim.A legend give credit to another legend!

But if he was black, he would have sold half.

And he didn't even have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that. :unsure:

This camera man is a fucking idiot. Scarface "kills" him? Are you serious? Gangsta shit, songs like "Stan", D12 projects, tracks with 50, it has nothing to do with the "skill" of a rapper. That's your taste and what you want to listen to, that doesn't make it better.

This is why I hate when forum heads say "Oh, yeah, [Random artist, most likely underground]'s very lyrical and has a great flow, but see, he isn't as entertaining as [Insert one of their favorite artists here], so he's not as good".

At the end of the day you can't sit down and say FACT: THIS IS MORE ENTERTAINING. That's retarded. Music and what you like to see in content is subjective, but you can't ignore the technical aspect, which is what you SHOULD measure by with shit like this, and you certainly can't deny Em's technique. :coffee:

Also, Inb4 this gets moved to Shady Media.

Eminem was at his peak when he was acting hard. At least he put passion into it.

Yeah tracks like that from MMLP and TES when he was acting like a gangster. Those were his best. Thanks for providing an example to back up my claim. :y:

***** wrote:a rapist who kills bitches doesn't mean the person is gangster

Then why was he always wearing red do-rags and acting like a blood?

Dressing like that in the real slums, you'd get killed. I doubt he would dress like that back when he was living in Detroit. Too risky.
