I do agree a little with Jason aswell though. I can't complain about rappers not being lyrically good, I mean I'm westside for life with music, and most of it is children's rapping.

It's also not a "lack of knowledge". Lil Wayne is lyrically a better rapper than Eazy E, although I have Lil Wayne perhaps bottom of everyone and Eazy E at number 2.

What I meant here was that we all have our favourites, being a "rap" website we would be inclined to go with the most lyrically skilled rappers. I dont consider westcoast gangster rap really rap music as it's the music I listen to over the words. In terms of rap, we usually go for NaS, 2Pac, Eminem, Biggie, Rakim, Kool G etc.

But we dont have many current rap fans here in comparrison, and this poll had everyone. It shows that more people like Lil Wayne and think he is superior in hip hop to Rakim for example, and to me and most of you, it's so hard to evern imagine.#

Eminem is a very good rapper, but as I always say, his music to me is boring. Relapse + Recovery, well the names speak for the albums. They are dark beats about non-descriptive "problems" for the wannabe troubled kids of today to listen to and think "Hey, I relate because my mom and dad faught last week". These days, Eminem spits either that, or stupid pop songs. In the old days, he did punchlines (no place in rap for me) or songs that I just flat out never liked to listen to. Stan + Lose Yourself are two of the greatest rap songs of all time in my opinion though.

2Pac on the other hand, was much more versatile. To me, he covers any mood to listen to music.
Sentimental - Keep Your Head Up, Baby Dont Cry, How Long Will They Mourne Me...
Thugging - Troublesome, Hit Em Up, Hell For A Hustler...
Chilling - California Love, To Live and Die In LA, N.I.G.G.A...
Political - Changes, Letter to the President...

Obviously loads more of each too.

its all based on opinion.. whos the greatest. hard tah compare the two.. in order tah do so ud have tah judge them by categories..

flow
multis
enjoyability
album sales
longgevity
influence
versatility

only way to determine a winner imo...

still its opinionated... but thats the formula id use... and with that formula em wins pacs close because of the influence factor along with big and jay.... lil wayne and drake wouldnt come close.

That's 4-3 to Eminem on your formula, but on a technicality...2pac DID die lmao.

lol yeah... not funny... but r.i.p tah tha big homie.

Co-Fucking-Sign With Jason.
All In All Everyone Likes Different Types Of Music Depending On Their Life Experiences And What Mood Their In, Like Today I'm Feeling Drake But Tomorrow I Might Like Some Bach, Changes.

Anyone else hate the whole "It's all opinion" answers you get when the question "Who is the best at ____" is asked?

If I Didn't Post This Post Right Now This Thread Would've Died...

yeah the opinion shit gets old. but at tha end of tha day not everybody likes the same shit.. some of yall might like country.. some of yall might like classical jazz.. some of yall gotta soft side and like blue grass and some of yall like to think u hard and bump rap and others like how drakes voice sounds... take student for example..

its all apples and oranges at the end of the day.. my moms fucks wit reasonable doubt and ur moms might say its devil music.

simple really.
