I'm not the only one who remembers him that way. Encore, Curtain Call or Relapse didn't have impact as big as SSLP, he's still one of pop-culture icons, like it or not.
For me class means alot. I never said it's the most important factor, now that'd be fucking retarded, but.. let's take Lil' Wayne and Soulja Boy and compare them to Talib, Mos or Nas. Even by looking at them, without judging their music, you can see which one is an actual artist and which one of them is a fucking clown.
Lyrically, it's hard to tell who's better. Both are great, both got verses that I'll remember for the rest of my life, both got verses that I didn't like. Plus, you guys know way more about all that multiple/internal rhymes crap than me
Just because I don't live in the ghetto, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the music. In this case, I'd have to be fronting about enjoying Eminem's music too, because I've never done drugs, I've never divorced, I ain't got a kid, I've never had black/white issues and I surely haven't been to jail. Furthermore, my whole passion for hip hop music would be a huge mistake and a big fat lie.
and remember yoshi, i'm the one who agreed with you about Stillmatic being better than Illmatic, so you do know I listen to Nas and love him as an artist.
Lol I remember that and you know I'm not the type of person that would start talk shit just because, at some point, we have different opinions. I said Nas, but hey - Nas & Eminem are still in the top.. 10 rappers of all the time.
