[Niko49ers]

Cars, money, girls and the clothes
Aww man, you sold your soul
Naww man, mad people was frontin'
Aww man, made something from nothing
Picture working so hard, and you can't cut through
That can mess up your whole life, like an uncle that touched you
What has the world come to, I'm from the 312
Where cops don't come through and dreams don't come true
Like there the god go in his Murcielago
From working McDonalds, barely paying the car note
He even got enough to get his mama a condo
Then they ran up and shot him right in front of his mom
40 killings in a weekend, 40 killings in a week
Man the summer too hot you can feel it in the street

dope.

[tnelson1134]

No, stuff like Enter the Wu-Tang, Illmatic, Paul's Boutique, Paid in Full, and The Low End Theory are classics. None of Eminem's music even gets close to this. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, on the other hand, does.

i respect your opinion and i agree with enter the Wu-Tang and Illmatic, and Paid in Full.. all great albums.. but you cant deny em's lyricism on any of the above mentioned albums his metaphors are ridiculous. i think a lot of people would agree with me.. its really a matter of opinion i guess.. imo nobody can **** with eminem lyrically at all...

[Pastier911]

You don't know **** dude. Kanye was pretty much the first big producer to break out as a successful rapper. Before him producers were forced to produce, but kanye gave no fuks. He's inspired a whole new generation to start producing their own ****. Not to mention how he's changed the face of hip hop which was only meant for thugs and gangsters

big reason right here why i like kanye...he's not a fake rapper who talks about killing people and slinging drugs. I can't stand rappers who rap thug even if they are..i'm not a thug so that style is lame to me.

[BasedPrincess]

lmao, my dude Kanye stays trolling da world

[tnelson1134]

2nd this

Eminem is not even worth mentioning in any sort of serious rap discussion

if you could ask any famous rapper who is the top 10 best rappers alive.. eminems name will always be mentioned he is no where near irrelevant yet.. youre talking about him as if hes ***** mane or waka flocka when in reality hes rapped with the best of them and made 100's of hit songs and at least 100 million dollars to show for it..

Dude, are you even serious? Dr. Dre and DJ Quik were doing it over two decades ago. The rapper/producer thing is old hat at this point. Timbaland was doing it fifteen years ago. Missy Elliot was a ghost writer, rapper, and producer. Before thugs and gangsters ever got involved you had KRS One, Black Sheep, Leaders of The New School, Lords of The Underground, EPMD, Run DMC, L.L Cool J, Kool Moe Dee, and hundreds of other non gangsters. At one point the theme of hip-hop was "each one teach one."

Your knowledge of the history of hip hop is extremely lacking.

Plus, do you think his style is really revolutionary? His materialistic bent is about the same as a million other rappers before and after.

Eminem is a better rapper. Kanye is a better artist.

[nocluebro]

Coming from a huge rza fan, i disagree with this.

you must have a screw loose brah, because the RZA stomps kanye. kanye could never produce a dope minimalist beat like the RZA does. he's too focused on gloss and layering, there's so much happening in his songs that it becomes difficult to notice their shortcomings, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. RZA has produced some average chit, but let's not forget OB4CL, 36 chambers, wu-tang forever, liquid swords etc.

[SteveGolds]

kanye used to be good but he sucks.....more than eminem


eminem has 3 classics and 1 borderline classic...and then everything with d12 and everybody else....and ppl will nuthug him forever. ppl still nuthugg infinite.......from 96



kanye blows, he's maybe top 100, maybe

maybe top 100 what? top 100 rap artists? Kanye West doesn't even rap first off.... Second off, he's not even in the top 10,000

[MikeNice81]

Eminem is a better rapper. Kanye is a better artist.

In a classic sense, real hip-hop word play, Em would eat Kanye. Kayne is better at producing idiotic publicity that keeps people coming back. He is the Jim Morrison of rap. A self absorbed and deluded individual that has developed a following through shenanigans more than work or work ethic. A lot of his stuff is catchy though. Even when you hate him, you catch yourself listening. That takes a certain charisma and talent.

[UrbanelyLegit]

u wot m8, what vid?

i think it was pharrell but i'm sure i remember reading an article few months ago where he said he felt disappointed with the current music scene, so that's probably why he's made himself less prominent in music.

Different styles bro.

Even then Kanye's production is ever changing.

Can produce tracks lie Drive Slow and The Corner to bangers like Can't Tell Me Nothing etc.

Kanye West is boss.

Yes I'm a fan boy and what?

[MikeNice81]

lol at *******s who say hip hop is dead, it just proves u dont listen to rap

Yep, Masai "Almost Home" is probably one of the best albums of the year so far.

Now, you get in to the debate what is the difference between hip-hop and rap? Is there a difference? Is hip-hop the culture and rap just an element? Does hip-hop even matter with the commercialization of Rap? The statement "hip-hop is dead" is bigger than most of the people saying it realize. It is a question about more than what is on the radio.

There's also the fact that he seems to have connects with big name artists that are highly respected by indie and mainstream fans. I even heard Madlib supposedly produced some turned down tracks for MBDTF.

Lost it at "the Jim Morrison of rap." So true

[SquirtleBangz]

I love all these dudes (strong no homo) but not feeling this song, thanks for awaring us anyway

[lupered]

In what way did any of those other then Kendrick kill it in the last year?

*This year

Kendrick dropped an instant classic with maad city of course

A$ap Rocky is currently the face of the new east coast, completely different style to anyone out there right now.

Earl is about to drop a classic mark my words

and

Kanye with his work with Good Music and his new album whenever it drops

[lupered]

lol at *******s who say hip hop is dead, it just proves u dont listen to rap

this lol, if anything there's about to be a new generation of GOAT hip hop artists, appreciate it you *******s. 10-15 years from now we'll be looking back on this era

A lot of the connection early on was his way of approaching things. Dude rapped about working at GAP. He also approaches music with a strong understanding and eclectic taste. He won people for being knowledgeable and looking at things in a different way. He lost all of his humility shortly after he signed with Jay-Z.

Now he gets a lot of connections because he has a following. Everybody wants on a profitable bandwagon. Plus, he still has an ear for music that stands out. Kanye does know the difference between good and bad music.

[Nik7]

Yeezus the GOAT can do whatever the f*ck he wants.

"Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
All of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’
Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag
And tell me that it’s random
But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative
This the real world, homie, school finished
They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won’t be satisfied til all my n*ggas get it, get it?"

[ChikN10der]

eminem used to be good, he sucks now. Kanye has been a lot more consistent with his rapping over the years.

lmfao wtf, kanye fell off so hard...

lol juicy j puts together better lines then kanye now.

[dabawse]

Why is it as people start to get close to Jay Z they acquire his narcissism? Beyonce's telling bishes to bow down, Kanye's thinking he's a god. Yezzy used to be humble, but then his corny ass started feeling himself too much

Been following Kanye for a while now and he's one of my favorite artists and also favorite celebrity (because he admits his flaws and isn't a fake f*ck like 99% of celebrities). People also kinda exaggerate his ego - he does it too himself. He is actually a pretty nice guy in the end, not that I know him but I have seen videos of him around people he knows and he seems like a chill dude. He's definitely not as big of an a**hole as people make him. You can't really blame him for his ego/arrogance for all the hate he gets + he grew up having record labels/producers etc tell him that he couldn't rap for sh*t. Now they're all trying to ride his d*ck... if I was him, I too would give the middle finger to everyone in the industry and only work with people close to me like Jay-Z.

As for the album people named "I AM GOD" I honestly doubt Ye would go ahead and do that - he is far too religious for that. I can see a song on the album being called that but then it would be in a different context and not about Ye claiming to be God.
