Who is better rakim or eminem

Digital himself, Eminem said that collaborating with KXNG Crooked is always nerve-racking because he always put pressure on Em to give his best pen game. Eminem is a big stan of LL Cool J. Back in his high school days, young Marshall once went shirtless while rapping to LL's I'm Bad on his school's table, and that's how he met his longtime sweetheart, Kimberly Scott.

Decades later, Eminem still has a love for the Queens rapper. I wanted to be like Run-D. I just gravitated towards it, and I never strayed from the first day that I heard a Rap song. If you love Eminem's storytelling, meet the one who does it perfectly well: Nas.

Coming up as a young and hungry rapper, young Eminem sounded exactly like AZ and Nas on his debut underground album, Infinite. We pressed up under a thousand, initially," he took to his official Genius page to recall those days. I was upset. Not to say that I didn't love AZ and Nas, but for a rapper to be compared to someone, for people to say that you sound like someone else — nobody wants that.

I had to go back to the drawing board. According to Rap God, in the middle of the era of SoundCloud rappers, Joyner Lucas is one of the few new-school rappers who still carry the rap game's tradition, and his breakthrough single I'm Not Racist deserved a Grammy for it. Eminem surely didn't miss his name.

Dre served as its president. That to me is like a top-tier lyricist. Kendrick's collaborator, J. Cole, also made to Eminem's list. Cole, and his fellow Detroit rapper Big Sean. Although the two ill emcees had never collaborated, J. Rap God. Eminem thank you. Potentttt," he tweeted. There is no talking about hip-hop greats without mentioning the man who invented it: Rakim. Without him, your favorite rappers wouldn't exist. The half of Eric B. It could be male, female, white, black.

I know it when I hear it, and I love to hear it. People pushing the envelope, keeping the genre alive. Eminem is not the only one who put the New York rapper on his list. Another OG rapper, Kool Moe Dee, who was the first rapper to ever perform on the Grammy stage, praised Kane as "one of the most imitated emcees ever in the game.

He barely even has a career anymore. Only his Legacy. And Eminem's career is still going, as is his legacy. So it's hard to compare something that's already over with something that's still going. Come back in 2 years and ask again. Ricky and beastmode like this. Aug 16, Posts: 23, Likes: 46, Joined: Jun 30,
