i gotta say Royce is far better now but Em in his prime was above anyone


although Crooked I did once say "if the best rapper dies, i'll be sitting at Nickel's funeral"  (aka royce)

Personally I think Royce is a hella talented MC...


But damn, Em in his prime was a freak of nature (unusually gifted wigger...on some meta ish) and pretty much owned rap for a couple years.

Gotta give it a Eminem

slim shady LP and infinite are both perfect examples of lyrics at their best, with the exception of "my name is" of course which was just a silly ass single

Infinite as a project is decent at best. Em was only 50/50 on that one. You could hear the potential in him tho (despite being outshined by his crew at times)

SSLP may be mainstream lyrics at their best, but theres life beyond the radio/mtv

What? It obviously lacks polish and isn't as well put together as his other albums (for obvious reasons), but how was Em only 50/50 on that? Dude killed it from an MC standpoint. If you're talking straight rhyming, Infinite is on par with anything else he did. And when did he get outshined by his crew?

I was actually bumping that classic Royce bootlegged unreleased album (Sccit sent me back in early 2001, by mail, lol) and the shit Royce was doing he was closer to Eminem than anybody in hip-hop.  He was the only one on Eminem's level from 99-2001.  

That unreleased album of Royce's was sensational.  If they could've just modified that into some kind of solo album he would of easily had a classic on his hands.  Does anybody know the name of the bootleg or have a tracklist?  This is off the top of my head, but he could of had a classic album with songs like this...

1. "The Throne Is Mine"  (this track is easily 10 out of 10 and could of been a mega-hit for either him or Dr. Dre)
2.  "I'm the King"  (10 out of 10 classic underground joint)
3.  "King of the Kings"  (10 out of 10 this shit is like something Nas would do, it is dark, mysticism, esoteric)
4.  "Soldier" (10 out of 10 this song is hard, with the drums, the lyrics, chorus, eventually a HQ version made it onto Stretch Armstrongs album)
5.  "Way I Be Pimpin"  
6.  "Take His Life"
7.  "I Won't Be"
8.  "Scary Movies"
9.  "Nuttin To Do"
10.  "The Desert"
11.  "Friends"
12.  "We're Live"
13.  "It's Over"
14.  "Flash On"
15.  "W-A-L-L Way"



^^^ That is a 5 Mic Classic right there.  All those songs are epic and I am even leaving a lot of gems off because I don't have a tracklist in front of me from the bootleg album.  To bad he fucced up his relationship with Dre, never signed to a decent label, and never his prime quickly came and went before he ever released an official album.  He's still capable of making some nice rhymes, but back then everything he did was fire.
