Elton John says "Eminem the next Hendrix or Elvis"

[Drudge]

April 11, 2005 -- ELTON John ranks Eminem in the same class as rock gods Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix. In a gushing essay in Rolling Stone's new "Immortals" issue, John says he got "goose bumps" when he first rehearsed with the rapper for their 2001 Grammy performance. "From the start, I've always admired Eminem's thinking," John writes. "That's the reason I wanted to appear on the Gram mys with him when I was asked, despite all the nonsense talked about his being homophobic. Let the Boy Georges and George Michaels of the world get up in a twist about it if they don't have the intelligence to see his intelligence."

Yeah...I know, Eminem made a terrible last cd. But, every artist loses that hunger. Look at Ice Cube. However, Eminem's album from 'slim shady lp' to Marshall Mathers were masterpieces. But he'll never show that hunger again unless some MC LIKE Chino XL, Ras Kass calls him out. Then he may actually, buckle down and write some incredible lyrics we know he's capable of doing.

Eminem is tight but i have to disagree with Eminem being in the same rank as the legendary Jimi Hendrix

[Kill]

depends on how you look at it. as a musician, Eminem is a bad fuckin joke compared to Jimi. As an icon of pop culture, I think he does have the potential to be viewed as a real legend one day, fuck the wack shit he´s been putting out.

[Milk Man]

Elton John gets fucked in the ass and hangs around strange people like Elizabeth Taylor , why would hes opinion mean anything .

[ColdManey]

LOL, fuck what that faggot yalkin bout. what he even know about rap anyway? he prolly just tryna fuck eminem. eminem aint even close to Jimi. He is like elvis in the sense that he helped white wash rap music the same way elvis did rock. fuck elvis and fuck eminem. eminem can rap though, but he aint that fuckin tight to be mentioned with Jimi, and niether is that faggot elvis.

[ImmortalOne]

The only rapper that can be mentioned as a legend alongside Hendrix or Elvis is Pac. Period, point blank.

Eminem is anywhere near Pac's league, or Hendrix or Elvis league.

couldn't agree more

[M Dogg™]

Eminem isn't even the biggest Hip-Hop star of all-time. The one that is the Hip-Hop Elvis is 2Pac. Eminem ain't even on 'Pac's level.

[Diabolical]

Pac isnt the hip hop Elvis. If you mean he's as big as Elvis ok but that doesnt make him the hip hop Elvis.

Did i mention i hate Elvis?
