Yo, Em doesn't ever claim he's a gangsta, whut the fuck are you smoking. Look at it this way: There's an industry that's predominantly run by people of one race, and someonme of a different race comes in and rises to the top over night. Don't you think there'd be alot of people who don't like him, and because of the nature of this industry, do you really think it's pussy to have bodyguards? Em is just a great lyricist, and alot of people look down on him because of his skin color, and make ridiculous claims like he's "trying to be gangsta." You gotta lighten up.

i know i forgot canibus but who do u think i shud of added  ?

Well since you put 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G. then I assume you are asking who is the best lyricist of all-time.  Ever heard of Rakim, Gza/Genius or Scarface?


Gza is tight.
