Em's bad songs are so bad that he can't be in my Top 5...
Exactly, which is why he isn't in my Top 5.
i doubt it, he probably would be in buddens positionOriginally Posted by QuestLife
I swear If Em was black he would be much more respected.
I posted this a few weeks ago in the "How is 2Pac not the G.O.A.T.?" .... IMO, Em is the Greatest of All Time and here is my reasoning ... feel free to give yours why he isn't the best
I already shredded your reasoning before, do you not recall that??
the vast majority that have Em in their Top 5 just started listening to rap after 1998.
Must be. There are too many dudes with ill catalogs for Em to be so high. No disrespect to dude, but I just can't do it

1. I think its a pretty common knowledge that Eminem is the best lyricist (Wordplay, Breath Control, etc ...)
Kool G Rap,Rakim,Big Daddy Kane,Pharoahe Monch>>>Eminem
2. He has shown the most emotion of any rapper (DMX maybe?, no one else comes close)
2 Pac showed way more emotion than Eminem
3. He dropped arguably 3 classic albums (Yes, Jay dropped 3 arguably classic albums as well) ... but to my knowledge no one has dropped 4.
Eminem has NO classic albums, and for the most part The Eminem Show was average
4. He was the one of the first to successfully break the "color barrier" in hip-hop (Beastie Boys did it first, but Eminem took it to a new level)
I agree with u on that
5. He is the only rapper to have 2 diamond albums (I know sales don't mean everything, but you don't just stumble upon two diamond albums.)
He has no diamond albums, MMLP sold nine mill & The Eminem Show sold 8
6. He has created some of the greatest diss tracks ever (Nail In The Coffin, Hail Mary, The Sauce, I Remember)
They are way more better diss tracks, the fact he wasn't dissing nobody makes this even worse
7. He is one of the greatest freestylers ever (2nd in the rap olympics) (see the freestyle in the video below)
Can't lie that was dope
8. He's helped establish other hip-hop giants (50 Cent, G-Unit, D-12 (maybe a reach))
I agree
9. We've seen him grow and mature through his career (can be said for many artists as well)
He got worse thru out his career
10. Last but certainly not least, Name me ONE person who has outshined him on a track ....
.................. He's outshined: Jay-Z, Biggie, 2Pac, Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and The Game to name a few ....
You should have left Biggie & 2 Pac off this list, they wasn't in the studio with him so i dont count that. I agree with the rest of them dudes he outshined but that aint saying much being that they aint that high on a lyrical level.

Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns
Never was a gangster, until I graduated into one
And got the rep of a villian, for weapon concealin'
Took the image of a thug kept _ appealing
Willin'stick out my neck for respect if it meant life or death
Never lived to regret what I said
When your me, people just wanna see if its true
If it's you, what you're saying in your raps what you do
So they feel, it's part of ya obligation to fulfill
When they see you on the streets face to face are you for real?
The confrontation ain't no conversation if you feel
You're in violation, any hesitation, it'll get you killed
If you feel it, kill it, you can conceal it, reveal it
Being reasonable will leave you full of bullets
Pull it, squeeze it, 'til its empty, tempt me, push me, _
I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze
Came home, and somebody musta broke in the back window
and stole two loaded machine guns and both of my trenchcoats
Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
with M-16's and ten clips each
And them +!!%* reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?
*#!% THAT! PBBT! You *#@!%%% can vanish to volcanic ash
and re-appear in hell with a can of gas, AND a match
Aftermath, Dre, grab the gat, show 'em where it's at
(What the *#!% you starin at, $!%*$?)

Em's verse on Remember me....best verse on the Album IMO
