They aren't completely not comparable, but competitively they are. There are aspects and appreciations to be shared between the 2 types. But having the two challenge each other just calls for criticism of both instead of appreciation. If you're interested you should check this out. It's a pretty interesting read:

Seriously tho. This article is awesome.
What an interesting discussion that would be. I believe they are very much comparable, because in 400 years "rap" is going to be an ancient thing, and Eminem will be equivalent to Shakespeare in those history books. Just some old dead poet.
I've actually read that article before, is half the reason I believe what I have been stating in this discussion so far.
EMINEM DEAD!?¿ why? your a monster
