it sound to me that your opinion is motivated by race, so far you are the only one to even mention race but back to the lesson i have to teach you about lyrics. you say Em " loose yourself" can kill any nas verse ok well let start round one because there is nothing complex about "loose yourself" he sound like a mad man but the lyrics is what matters let check out the first round

Eminem "loose your" self VS Nas "Take it in blood" audio and lyrics





Eminem- loose yourself

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clocks run out, times up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
Hes so mad, but he wont give up that
Is he knows
He wont have it , he knows his whole back citys ropes
It dont matter, hes dope
He knows that, but he's broke
Hes so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, thats when its
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him

[HOOK:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The souls escaping, through this hole that its gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardoms close to post mortam
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, hes know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
Hes grown farther from home, hes no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
These hoes dont want him no mo, hes cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose its old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[HOOK]

No more games, Ima change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebodys payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I cant get by with my 9 to 5
And I cant provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps dont buy diapers
And its no movie, theres no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin option, failures not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in Salems lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got


Nas-Take it in Blood


"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that" [repeat 2X]
[--> Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MC's 'Ease Back']

[Nas]
Yo; I never brag, how real I keep it, cause it's the best secret
I rock a vest, prestigious, Cuban link flooded Jesus
in a Lex watchin Kathie Lee and Regis
My actions are one with the seasons
A tec squeezin - executioner, winter time I rock a fur
Mega popular, center of attraction
Climaxin, my bitches they be laughin
They high from sniffin coke off a twenty-cent Andrew Jackson
City lights spark a New York night
Rossi and Martini sippin, Sergio Tachinni flippin mad pies
low price, I blow dice and throw em
Forty-five by my scrotum, manifest the "Do or Die" slogan
My niggaz roll in ten M3's
Twenty Gods poppin wheelies on Kawasaki's
Hip-Hop's got me on some ol', sprayin shots like a drumroll
Blankin out and never miscount the shells my gun hold
I don't stunt, I regulate
Henny and Sprite, I seperate, watchin crab niggaz marinate
I'm all about tecs and good jooks and sex
Israelite books, holdin government names from Ness
MC's are crawlin out, every hole in the slum
You be aight like blood money in a pimp's cum

"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
.. for, you wack MC's"

[Nas]
Currency is made in trust of the Messiah
I'm spending it to get higher
Earth, Wind, and Fire singing reasons why I'm
up early, trustworthy is a nine that bust early
Sunshine on my grill, I spill
Remi on imaginary graves, put my hat on my waves
Latter Day Saints say religious praise
I dolo, challenge any team or solo
You must be buggin out, new to my shit, home on a furlough
Ask around, who's laid up, sharp and straight up
Mafioso, gettin niggaz wigs sprayed up
Skies are misty, my life's predicted by a gypsy
I'll one day walk into shots drunk off champange from Sicily
This be the drama, I'ma pause like a comma
in a sentence, paragraph's indented
Bloodshot red eyes, high, yellow envelopes of lye
Openin cigars, let tobacco fly
Condos are tuneproof, we're looking out the sky's moonroof
Shittin like gin and prune juice
Yo the system wants the coon's noose, hang em high
Courtrooms filled up, it's off the hook while I
just wrote a statement, like I'm facing twenty years
in the basement - chilling on the via with Mumia
for wearin chrome - I told the judge snakes slither
like Sharon Stone, but like Capone I'm thrown (yo)

"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
.. for, you wack MC's"
"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
.. for, you wack MC's"

[Nas]
Lyrical, ly-lyrical mission..
Lyrical..
Yo the time is wastin, I use the mind elevation
Dime sack lacin, court pen pacin
Individual, lyrical math abrasion
Psychic evaluation, the foulest nation
We livin in, dangerous lives, mad leak and battered wives
A lifestyle where bad streets is patternized
Wise men build and destroy
While the real McCoy dopefiend, named Detroit is still dealin boy
Coke suppliers actin biased
Cause rumors say that niggaz wear wires and we liars
But every night the gat's fired, and every day a rat's hired
I still remain the mack flyest in the phat Kani, it's --
-- just the killer in me, slash drug dealer MC
Ex-slug filler, semi mug peeler
Demi, bottles of Mo', yo simply follow me flow
Put poetry inside a crack pot and blow
rough holes for cracked out pussies and buttholes
Bring the G's and the D's roll, they can't touch those
Why shoot the breeze about it, when you could be about it?
My degrees are routed, toward the peasy haired brick houses
instead of the fake medallions
Rich niggaz transport in thousands
Foreign cash exchange amountin to millions
Doors is locked, rocks is chopped, watch the cameras in the ceilings
Trick bitches catching mad feelings
Peelin off in the Lex Jeep, techniques is four-wheelin
I bet it be some shit when we connect with Stretch
When we catch them sex niggaz with the tecs you blessed, word
So now it's on, never wasted a slug,
Time is money when it comes to mine, take it in blood

"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
"I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
.. for, you wack MC's" [repeat in background to fade]

Yeah, Capone-N-Noreaga
Yeah, yo, offical Queensbridge murderers
Mobb Deep keep it real though
Motherfuckin AZ yo
'Mega, 'Mega, whatever
Scarlett O'Hara
Yo, Fox Boogie
East New York
Gambo, Brownsville
Wizard, Fort Rockaway
Big Jersey
Connecticut, D.C., Sudan
V.A. ?? N.C., L.A.
So on and so on...
Big Ha, Houston Fifth Ward
Black Ed, keep it real Moe..





this is not about race, color, religion etc. it about lyrical ability and flow, i say Nas is very supirior to Em and this round proves it feel differently post a sick em verse and we will go for round 2, if you examine the lyrics there is no dispute Nas win this round, he had a better flow, stronger metephores word play, muti rhymes i can go on, Em is a great story teller but sounding like a mad man don't make you better lyricaly

Nas>2pac>Eminem

^^^^ cosign

Nas>Every Other Rapper...Ever

What happened to all the Em supporters, Em is considered one of the sickest that has ever done it, most people put him in the top 5, so you guys need to come with some verses in his defense because, i came into this forum not knowing much about Em, them once people started posting what they believe to be his most lyrical verses i started to think maybe he is overrated i haven't heard anything spectacular, i mean he's a good rapper but not even close to Nas, but I'm open minded i will stand corrected if i am proven wrong so Em supporter help your boy Em out

P.S. its easy to stand behind somebody when they are exceptional at what they do i respect both emcees Em is better than allot of emcees but Nas is not one of them

Ok u dug urself a hole with this lesson...lets check the first lines....

LOOSE YOURSELF:

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

TAKE IT IN BLOOD

Mega popular, center of attraction
Climaxin, my bitches they be laughin


I really wanted to give it to Nas but....Real shit,flow Vs "Im dope",slanted(attraction-laughin)

THE FUCK WE TALKING ABOUT????

My opinion tho....i respect other opinions so respect mine too.

Ohhh and in aspect of flow.....Nas aint even CLOSE to Em.....be real dude....

lol sweaty heavy, loud crowd you call that sick shit look bruh i'm going to give you a chance to pick more lines please don't make your case out of what you have chosen take your time and pick something that will help Em not hurt him i'm starting to question your knowledge on hip hop and lyrics i wonder if you even know what a sick verse sound like, go revise your strategy you have plenty of time i don't get off until 4 0r 5 somebody help him with this because this is s joke right

PALMS ARE SWEATY

ARMS ARE HEAVY
MOMS SPAGGETI


Feels like u ignore or dont know what multie is.....no hate...but lets finish this argument..ur opinion is that Nas is better and My opinion is that EMINEM is better.

Nas vs Eminem


ROUND 1

Yo; I never brag, how real I keep it, cause it's the best secret
I rock a vest, prestigious, Cuban link flooded Jesus
in a Lex watchin Kathie Lee and Regis
My actions are one with the seasons,A tec squeezin

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting

Ok clearly nas take this by having better vocabulary his multi and metaphors were stronger, he also delivered his lines better smoother with a nicer flow
Em verse was nice but nothing special about " palms/arms sweaty/heavy" thats fairly basic it sound great because of the amount of passion in his voice and he paints a great picture of that moment but lyrically Nas took it



ROUND 2

executioner, winter time I rock a fur
Mega popular, center of attraction
Climaxin, my bitches they be laughin
They high from sniffin coke off a twenty-cent Andrew Jackson

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clocks run out, times up over, bloah

same thing here clearly nas vocabulary was on a higher level than em his lyrics were more complex and his multis were better, nas also delivered his verse better, em has more passion but passion ain't lyrics

ROUND 3

City lights spark a New York night
Rossi and Martini sippin, Sergio Tachinni flippin mad pies
low price, I blow dice and throw em
Forty-five by my scrotum, manifest the "Do or Die" slogan

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
Hes so mad, but he wont give up that
Is he knows
He wont have it , he knows his whole back citys ropes
It dont matter, hes dope
He knows that, but he's broke

Nas does it yet again better delivery stronger and more clever lyrics than Em, so far Em has been basic is every line there has been nothing complex about what he has said thus far but he's a great story teller

ROUND 4

My niggaz roll in ten M3's
Twenty Gods poppin wheelies on Kawasaki's
Hip-Hop's got me on some ol', sprayin shots like a drumroll
Blankin out and never miscount the shells my gun hold

Hes so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, thats when its
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him

look at the metaphors that Nas brought , and again his vocabulary is more clever and outside the box, nas also had a better delivery


I mean bruh no hate but i don't think you know much about lyrics in hip hop, i mean you said This one song from Em could kill any nas song and lyrically its nice and respectable but not special, what makes loose yourself a great song is the passion he has in his voice and his ability describe how he was feeling that moment he did a great job at putting the audience in his shoes, great story teller but lyrically Nas is clearly better

but yo bruh i respect your opinion i can see why you are drawn to Em, dude spit with passion and he is great at telling stories, he is a great rapper that goes without saying but Nas has the lyrics, the vocabulary and the flow, for people that think that rapping is just being able to rhyme he show that its more than just rhyming its a technique that requires knowledge and itellegence

I have never heard Em spit like this can anybody refer me to some verses where he is going in hard like this,
