Yeah, Pac was great, but a bit overrated. I think he was better than Biggie.
It`s like a figure of speech: I listen to rap. Best rappers? Pac, Biggie...

Most def. Pac and Biggie were overrated. I think most people can agree 2Pac was better than Biggie.

Prime Mos Def > Tupac & Biggie.

Haha Fx'd .

In my opinion Eminem is a bit over rated because he is a white rapper. I mean no offense and if ur offended then you take it wrong, im just giving my opinion

in my opinoin 2pac is over rated cuz hes dead

Jezus is dead. Elvis is dead. And many more :P

And no i didn't create it to troll lol. I am just wondering what you guys think is so good in Eminem.

Overrated in his lyrical skills yeah. But underrated by the common people because of his image the media and some other rappers gave him.

Well, i dont like biggie that much he is a great story teller, but pac helped him out way more then people think. Biggie kinda ripped him off.

And for me rap is far greater, ice cube, eazy-e and modern rappers The game j.cole etc. And the old songs of Eminem can be awesome too!

[2pacGOAT]

So if somebody is dead they are over rated? :P

and i don't mean to troll you guys about Eminem lol.

biggie was a nice story teller and that is why eminem who states him as one of his influences got the skill of story teller .

Biggie actually did steal tupacs style. Tupac helped him out and stuff and he turned himself against him a little. Also, 2pac copyed his style more and more trough the years.

But biggie is indeed a great story teller all respect for him. Tupac shouldnt have helped him if he didn't want him to be a better rapper lol. But that was before the shooting ofcourse.

He doesn't have a wide fan base because he does mainstream.

He has a wide fan base because he's an absolutely... or was, an absolutely genius lyricist and creative artist. What makes him (or rather, made him) so great?

- His rhyming (pushed it to new heights)
- His flows (ditto)
- His styles and versatility (sounds different every album)
- His delivery (made rap incredibly realistic and daring, and 'live')
- His concepts and execution
- His detail and nuance
- His ability to turn mundane life tribulations into compelling art

I could go on and on. There are a million things that make him one of the greatest, arguably (and in my books easily) the greatest when he was at his best. His best wit is unmatched, the way he could juggle persona's and provoke whilst creating a political sentiment at once, just... so many things that set him apart and make him a writer, rather than just a rapper.

This bullshit of 'he'd be average if he was black' is nonsense as well. So, "Stan" - you seriously think that's an average song? if he happened to have black skin? The Marshall Mathers LP, an AVERAGE album if he had black skin? lmfao. It's such racist bullshit. It's like saying Jimmy Hendrix would be an average guitar player if white.

His rating has nothing to do with him being white. People always say that and don't explain how that'd even make a difference. That's implying that what, young white kids are going to say he's better because he has the same colour skin? don't be so ridiculous. Kids don't see colour. I could just as easily say 2Pac or any black rapper is overrated by black people, it's pointless, racist rubbish. Stop comparing skin colours and focus on the music.

Eminem is rated as he is because of his lyrics, and his music. Nothing else. If being white made you overrated, why aren't people calling Asher Roth or Bubba Sparxxx genius? that automatically makes your suggestion void and not true. Clearly, it's his talent. Whether black or white, he's head and shoulders above the rest, when at his best.

Even the second best rappers are just great to me, I think the word 'genius' gets thrown around too easily. But in the case of Eminem, it's deserved. Nas, is not a genius. 2Pac, was not a genius. Mos Def, is not a genius. They're all just incredible rappers. But none of them touch the sides of Em's innovation, balls, creativity and execution.
