  1. With the possible exception of Polar (twice), who has ever had the sword above them and was able to get it off?

    I always thought "if everyone is gunning for me I'd just hit them all immediately and get it over with". It seems pointless to just wait for it to drop. I guess TOP kind of done that, but they actually thought theh could win, that doesn't count.

  2. I get your point, but there have always been gaps in communication sometimes. I don't think this is a new thing. Of course, you know that.

    What always used to piss me off was when people were coming to me swearing my allies were going to do something and I'd tell them they were insane they would have told me. Then last minute here comes someone letting me know what they're ablut to post. Because that means they told someone just not you.

  3. Also I hate so much that we can't solve these disputes the way they used to be solved. I'd love to get Kdot on national TV, give him a mic and just let him freestyle murder anyone who stepped up to the plate. The thing is I keep hearing from Em fans like yourself about how angry they are at Kendrick, but being signed to the same label kind of squashes a beef then and there I think. I'd love to hear the two go at each other with guest appearances from Black Hippy and what's left of D12 and Royce, but unless Aftermath can find some way to make a killing off it then it won't happen. That's one of the saddest parts about the Control discussion.

  4. Paging Rey. DR. Rey you're needed to this blog.

    Ok just answering a few off topic points

    1. You do not have to do poorly in school to be a good MC. I understand that hurts his "OG" image, but there are hip hop greats who done well in school. Completely unconnected ideas.

    2. If he changed his verse after the fact, that is a !@#$%* move. You go hard or don't go at all.

    3. Why are you so concerned about the way someone looks all the time. I mean come on mayne.

    With all that being said..... I don't think Big Sean has any major talent. Not bad, but I agree with the actual critique you posted. He's a cookie cutter IMO.

  5. Hahahaha you called him knowledgable just because he made a bunch of paragraphs blowing Eminem.

    Yea maybe so, but he has a criteria he is judging by and sticking to it. Once we get to that point then all I can do is say that his opinion isn't mine. I've already made an argument as to why Eminem is not the greatest, but I think he is good enough to be respected so all I can do is offer better examples and hope his musical tastes expand.

  6. I do believe Hiiipower is ine of Kendrick's best songs. I was just referring to pulling out

    "I'm on a field full of land minds

    Doing the moon walk hoping I blow up in time"

    Instead of

    "Back to put you back stabbers back on your spinal bone.

    You slipped a disc when I slid you my disc

    You wanted to diss, but jumped on my dick"

    The alitteration there, plus the metaphors are absolutely amazing. Some of the best I've heard.

    I must have missed the social commentary in Soldier, Not Afraid, and Lose Yourself. They must have been subliminal or something.

    I agree Dre and Biggie do not belong at number one, but as you say he is a legend and great producer. Cube blew up before Dre really, btw. Biggie I admire because he can freestyle. Em can do that also and it's important.

    At this point we're going to have to agree to disagree, because I'm not sure much else can be said. You're knowledgeable, and we agree on many points, but I still think you're dis servicing a lot of artist by putting Eminem at number one of all time.

  7. It feels like real life has an alarm whenever I want to post something in CN Forums.

    I literally had planned two weeks ago about posting that same exact subject but real life has held me back as you can see from how late I am responding to Rey's absurdness and your post. Eminem is the G.O.A.T because he does not present the same style most rappers present. If you have noticed, in every album, his voice changes, and his voice changes even more so when it comes to the subject of the song (depressing, hardcore, mainstream, etc.). His lyrics depends on the instrumental and the production which really catches my attention. He has also proven himself lyrically worthy to be compared to legends such as 2Pac and Nas. He has a higher use of vocabulary than Nas, his raging voice puts most soft-talked rappers to shame, his flow is inevitably perfect, his disses/wordplay are witty, smart, and great, and writes his lyrics in a different manner than the usual rapper does. There is more as to why he is the G.O.A.T, but that entry will arrive soon if real life does not interfere. Maybe I think he is G.O.A.T because he is one of the few rappers I can relate to due to the extensive gangster and social odes Pac and Nas puts up. Since the only Eminem haters I know are a couple of Kid Cudi and Kanye West cock$%&@s, and you do not seem to be like one of them, I would like to know who do you believe is the G.O.A.T and why (Gosh, I feel like a teacher giving out an assignment to a student :P).

    Oh, the irony!

    That's ok RL sucks :P

    On the GOAT: I'm not sure one exists. What was it Nas said in Ether? "Ain't no best". That seems like a cop out though, so I'll think and come up with one. KRS-One, Tupac, Biggie, Gza, Talib Kweli, and Nas would hit at the top. Kool Moe Dee, Dre, Cube, Em, Arrested Development (duo), Slick Rick, Lupe, Raekwon, Rza, Common, Jay Electronica, J cole, and Kdot would all hit next in the same category. Not that I think J cole is better than Cube. It's just They're excellent, but don't have that factor that makes me feel like they're defensible at number one.

    I do believe Kendrick has what it takes to eventually be GOAT, but I agree he's young. I've been listening to him since 2010 so I'm biased that someone I started listening to and thought was great blew up. I think the control verse will be hailed one day in the future as great. "One time Kendrick dissed everybody!".

    I think with choosing the best we have to take lyricism, metaphorical content, depth of content, and rhyming ability like you were talking about here. Also, impo the greatest has to be able to freestyle like off the top of his head. Tupac really didn't have great metaphors in his songs not did he really mix up his style much.

    On Em: I have never heard an Em song with social commentary, a political message, or any real deep metaphysical questions. We as Americans and Sing for the moment kind of was one. Maybe I just missed the others. As you can tell with my stress on deep content I hate horror core. Like if ICP died a firery death tommorrow, I'd laugh with joy. Another thing that bothers me about Eminem is he does not have the same flow as what I'm used too. I can't deduct points though because that's just a personal preference. He almost seems like he's always joking. So idgi. Even in his more serious songs like when I'm gone and Hailie's song he seems like he's trying to be funny. The "voice changes" you talk about aren't really on Slick Rick's level and I always find him screaming in 90% of his songs like Lil John so I'm unimpressed. Maybe I missed his great metaphors, but comparatively "quit playing wit scissors and !@#$ and cut the crap" is no where near "Back to put you backstabbers back on your spinal bone

    You slipped your disc when I slid you my disc

    You wanted to diss, but jumped on my dick"

    When I heard that my entire soul was blown away. So I was kind of disappointed with the verse you pulled out of Hiiipower, because that wasn't a very highlighted verse.

    On the good side, Em can freestyle. He is an excellent battle rapper. He isn't afraid of beef and I admit he's good. He isn't The best though. Mad respect to the man, but I would still place several people above him. Kendrick in my personal opinion is better, but he is not a ledgend ATM.

    Also, I respect your opinion. Just think I have a better one. :P

  8. Ok so now I've read the rest of your blog and hoping you'll respond to my post. I'm extremely curious as a fan of hip hop like yourself how Em's songs can match up to anything on Section .80 or GKMC. That's not even mentioning Criminal Minded, Straight out of Compton, AmeriKKKas most wanted, Ready to Die, Me Against the World, Reflection Eternal, The Chronic. That's just to name a few. Because if you make a GOAT claim you have to back it up man.

    I imagine we will end up diverging on what good Hip Hop is which is fine, but I'm really looking forward to the blog revealing Em's GOAT status. To me, Eminem's songs have always consisted of nothing but rage bottled up for shock value. He is a good battle rapper, but otherwise nothing IMHO.

  9. I just heard Hopsin 5's I'll mind not too long ago, is that who you're talking about? I thought he was pretty good.

    Anyway, I agree with your points, but come to a different conclusion. Content matters. I can use alliterations and different rhyming schemes all day, but if I'm rapping about something boring and mundane it will not matter one !@#$@#$ bit. Take for instance Tupac. Let's be completely honest, Pac's lyricism was fairly low caliber. The subject matter was extremely deep though, and that (since Grandmaster Flash's The Message) is a staple of good Hip Hop. Who in the game at the moment (again I just now started listening to hospice) is willing to step outside the cars, clothes, weed, hoes mentality and actually take on a big subject. Lupe Fiasco and Talib Kweli are the only ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Nas maybe but he's kind of out the game now. J Cole on the cery rare occasion. I'm sure there are people who I have not heard of that are, but be honest they are few and far between.

    Who is willing to actually come out and say "I want to murder you all". I mean just look at Drake-Common and Pusha-Wayne no one is willing to stake their reputation on their rhymes anymore. That is what BUILT Hip Hop. No beef; No hip hop. People forget that is the only reason hip hop exists, and that's why we have such !@#$%* music now. No one is making anything but party songs.
