Will Eminem ever be above Biggie?
Hatesrats™:
The truth is...
Eminem's topic's do not feed the original base of hip-hop music....
EM's topic's are not/nor can anyone who hip-hop was OG really for, identify with his content...ImO

i think i know what you were trying to say in that sentence...thats one of the problems in hip hop today...its too damn predictable...by saying that his topics dont really work for hip hop is basically proving that. no music should have pre-set topics...i should be able to rap about a ham sandwich if i want.

I would like to see the list of 100 rappers (I know it was an exageration) better than Pac, Big and Em when it comes to the total package not just lyrics because lyrics are not everything that makes an MC one of the greatest. I agree that these three are not untouchable but they are in the top rankings when it comes to the overall package. Plus it all depends on what you are looking for. Do you want a well balanced MC or an MC that is really nice in one area but really lacks in others?

as far as the mainstream goes there arent many better than them...but if you look past the albums you see in most stores and go to some shit that you will never hear on the radio its a whole other world...there are dozens of rappers better but they will never get recognized.

I do and have listened to a LOT of non mainstream rappers and I find a lot of them are nice lyrically but lack in flow, voice, delivery, etc. Kool Keith (Dr. Octagon) one of my favorite non mainstream artists for example is ill lyrically but his flow, voice, delivery, choruses, etc. aren't coming remotely close to Big, Pac or Em. Like I said it depends on what you're looking for.

What I mean is...
1.I love my family...
2.I would never call my MOM by any name regardless..(She fucken gave me life)
3.I never lived in no trailer home...
4.I have never been bullied..
5.I'm not his skin tone..
6.I have never been fucked over for wanting to belong to a culture that does not truly accept me.
7.I'm not a multi millionaire...
8.I don't care about Em's personal termoil (Wife/kid)
9.I don't hate Teenie bopper's just because their name ryhmes...lol
10.ect...
90% of Em's topic's just do not interest me....

T.J.:
if eminem unleashes some phenomenal story-telling skill somehow, he MIGHT be above biggie. but i doubt that will happen.
