firstly, Em isnt versatile at all...

the knock on Canibus is that he's too technically nice, without being accessible...BUT i think that his usage of obscure scientific references and knowledge of poetic technique make for a better, more deep artist. not making assumptions, but i seriously doubt that someone who is aware of the true craftmanship that Bis puts into his rhymes could say that Em was better. Em is nice with flow and has some entertaining work, but Bis is a rapper's rapper. He can do storytelling, kick ill philosophies, talk about the rap game, and then an element where he goes totally off the wall with abstract ideas. Bis vs. Rip alone shows that this guy is more creative and can develop a verse better than Em.

i agree with most of what u say about canibus

BUT

eminem is not verstatile? are u serious?

just for shits and giggles...........name one thing he ISN'T exceptional at besides all that nerd rap canibus is on

Em is versatile as fuck.. but I also like what Krhyme said about Canibus..

That's the thing Canibus isn't even a rapper, he a poet trying to rap, which makes him sound like ass, his flow is horrible, and he tries to rhyme syllables instead of words which doesn't work at all. Eminem's flow is one of the best ever, he can write serious songs just as easily and he can make radio hits, that's the definition of versatility, listen to Infinite and tell me Em isn't lyrical, not to mention in terms of diss tracks Eminem is second to none.

I just listened to the track tho, it really aint bad I like how they went in on how he was dissin' Mariah and whanot & the Dead Wrong diss.. it was alright but I guarantee Em is gonna shit all over them.. haha..

but on the real, Bizarre is horrible.. I still don't understand why they use him..

you calling it nerd rap speaks more to your tastes than anything else.

but, i'll indulge you...

Em is strictly a sideshow at this point in his career to be honest...but giving him the benefit of the doubt, lets look at the subject matter of his first 2 to 3 albums. He came from a broken home. He has abused drugs. He likes to talk about violent acts. Once you get past that, what are you really left with?

Em is one of my favorite artists though, but he's not quite on Bis' level to me stylistically or content-wise.

naw, g...i can name quite a few people with better flows
1. Kool G Rap
2. Method Man
3. B.I.G
4. Jay
5. Rakim
6. Pun
7. Big Daddy Kane
8. Ghostface
9. Instpectah Deck
10. Pusha T
11. Scarface
12. Andre 3000
13. the list goes on


as for dissing...he's nice, but has no classic diss records

em has done a way above average song in pretty much any kind of song there is to be done........if you go by making a good song then he can do it when it comes to anything

as far as flow i like his a lot.........out of that list i'd put maybe method man with his real crisp delivery and ispectah deck which i'm a huge fan of ahead of eminem

g rap isn't real versatile with his flow he sounds pretty much the same on every track, same with biggy

but eminem caters perfectly to every track

ghostface is one of my favorites........flow is ass though

other than BIG and NaS..Ghost is my fav...and no...his flow is crazy sick...(see supreme clientele)

please name Em's classic diss record though
