    They don't have his dedication to the culture. Eminem studied the game, his favorite rappers are different from other white folks and even some ignorant ? . He really wanted to do this ? and put the work in to make it happen.

    This

    Plus Dr. Dre doesnt produce their albums.

    Usmarin3 fails once again.

    Oh i forgot about R.A. The rugged man, id say hes better than em for sure. If eminem would have gave evidence more bars in that beef with everlast he would have killed him imo. Im sure there are some more white rappers that are better than him i just cant think of them. Nah twizted isnt better than Eminem genocide lol.

    Cause its rare that whites really go through anything noteworthy... Thats why they gotta play guitars and ? . Em actually had a tough life. Thats what hip hop all about

    Nah, a tough life makes for a better story, but Hip Hop is more than the struggle. It's an expression to overcome it. if that was the case, 99% of the rappers of today shouldn't be rapping cause they from the burbs. lol

    I tend to have the same opinion of Em as most on here (that he's corny or outright wack 9 times out of ten). But still you can't deny that Em's best work is amazing.

    They don't have the backing Em had (Dre and Jimmy Iovine) and they never tapped into the teenage white angst that EM did. Most of the other white rappers rap like black rappers in their topics, they aren't on some gimmicky over the top ? Em is on (? my parents, ? my wife, beat up boy bands,etc).

    People like Bubba Sparxxx, Mac Miller, etc rap about ? , weed, etc. They ain't on that corny ? .

    Like rappin about ? , weed, etc.. aint corny lol Just cause Jay can do it well dont mean it aint corny by most others.


    Weed and ? are everyday things ? , killing your wife, family, rapping about getting butt ? ,etc ain't normal. I don't know why that flew over your head and wtf does Jay have to do with what i post.

    Eminem is basically the the solo version of Beastie Boys, he tapped into that teenage white angst and white kids are naturally gonna pull for their own more. It's the same reason why Beastie Sold 5 times the albums that Run DMC despite Run DMC putting them on and having them open up for them. Once a white rapper with some skills gets backing from some reputable entity in the culture and they can tap into that white teenage angst, it's unlimited opportunity.

    That's why you always hear Em fans talk about some dumb ? about "EM is not materialistic like those rappers".

    Not sure why. But Em is a great artist. He had a great team around him pushing him. But there's a reason why there isn't another white mc who hasn't blown up.

    I can't fathom how people can deny Em's skill as an Emcee.

    That's like saying Nas is a terrible storyteller and he's mad boring.

    he is mad boring

    Why you ? always go to the extreme wackness to prove a point. Redman, Biggie,etc rapped about a lot of weed and ? , why don't you use them as examples.

    Which one?..
    Action Bronson is still pretty unestablished comparatively and while i hate to pick on Evidence since no one gives a ? about him, he's just often underwhelming to me

    whereas R.A. ... him i can see rating over Eminem. but it's not like they're not both high-level rappers.
