    Part 3: • Math Hoffa: Dr Umar Jo...
    --------
    In this clip, Math Hoffa and Vlad engage in a debate about Eminem's standing as one of the greats in the rap game. Both agree that Eminem's impact is undeniable - from his lyrical mastery and realism to record-breaking sales. They discuss how Eminem would likely only do stadium tours due to his massive popularity. Their conversation navigates to other hip-hop legends like Jay-Z and Nas and analyzes how these artists measure up to each other in terms of lyricism and connection with listeners. Vlad argues that Tupac's emotive songs carry more weight than Biggie's despite the latter’s stronger lyricism. In their fast-paced discussion, they ponder about a world where artists like Drake, J.Cole, Eminem, Jay-Z, Tupac, and Biggie co-exist, asking tough questions about how each one differs in style and fan engagement and the impact of their content on the world of hip-hop.

      I’ll say this. They both went in on the song in their respective way. However, IMO the highlights of RENEGADE is it featured Eminem on a verse, Eminem on the production side and it’s the ONLY feature on a Jay-Z album. We have to admit…‘Em’s verse was probably one of his MOST profound and serious verse from Em off the hills of the D12 album. We also have to remember…it wasn’t until May ‘02 before we got another album from Em too. His last album dropped in ‘00.

      @@okey7118 False. Jay Z had an Eminem song on his album that had the feel and sound of Eminem and led to the popular sentiment that Jay got murdered on his own song.
      Eminem's verse isn't just spectacular, the beat sounds lie it was made for Eminem.
      Because it was. It was was made by and for Eminem.
      Renegade is the perfect example of the difference between the greatest rapper(Jay Z) and the greatest hip hop artist(Eminem).

    Hov’s verse on Renegade was one of the best he ever wrote sine the imagery was so vivid, he literally took us through the hood without riding around. You had prime Em on the other side with the smoothest flow with rhyme patterns that fit perfectly to the beat while telling this detailed story of his struggles with fame and the backlash he received. Bias and relatability aside technically Em’s verse was better, he was rhyming whole sentences, every syllable while telling an intricate story and made it sound so natural as if he’s just chopping it up with you in a regular conversation. That’s the highest level of emceeing imo. Em’s verses were so much more memorable, you literally learn them after 2 listens because of how musically appealing they are to the ear, it’s hard to explain. I may sound like a Stan but that’s really not the case, but prime Em was simply the complete package. His more recent stuff I rarely go back to, his delivery is corny, the voice is annoying, the super lyricism is forced, the humor is gone and the subject matter can be terrible at times. Most of Hov’s music aged like fine wine and his consistency is amazIng. I hold both in the highest regard and they’re definitely top 10 if not 5.

      I wonder if those people who think that Jay-Z held his own have ever actually bothered to analyse the song. Jay-Z's lyrics were just basic "I had a tough childhood on the streets, but now I made it". On the other hand, Eminem's lyrics covered everything.
      He attacks organized religion and religious hypocrisy:
      _While I'm wavin' the pistol at sixty Christians against me_
      _Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics_
      _In holy water, no wonder they tried to hold me under longer_
      He attacks politicians for trying to censor rap music:
      _Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics_
      _Usin' his music to steer it, sharin' his views and his_ _merits?_
      _But there's a huge_ _interference, they're sayin'_ _you shouldn't hear it_
      He attacks the media for labelling him (and rap music) as a bad influence on society:
      _But that ain't the case, see,_ _it's a matter of taste_
      _We as a people decide if_ _Shady's as bad as they say_ _he is_
      _Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape?_
      _Media scapegoat who they can be mad at today_
      He attacks society for its failure and hypocrisy:
      _And I got nothin' to do but_ _make you look stupid as_ _parents_
      _You fuckin' do-gooders, too_ _bad you couldn't do good at marriage_
      There's simply nothing in Jay-Z's lyrics that come even within touching distance of Eminem's lyrical mastery on this song. Nothing at all!

    Math killed that response which is so true...if Everyday Struggle had been pushed as a single both clean and dirty with a music video for Big it still would have been successful arguably as much as Juicy because it's a song with story telling and relatable subject matter. Real talk that was the main song that made me want to cop the album when I heard somebody bumping it as a kid. Hell honestly they should have pushed either Everyday Struggle or definitely Unbelievable over Big Poppa aka Warning which is a tight song but isn't as energetic as the other two. Imagine if Big would have had Unbelievable as a promo single with Primo and everything in the video on there he would have killed it.

      Being a rebel as far as in the ghetto hadn’t been spit for decades! But Em rapping about being a rebel to society as a whole and mocking parents and the older generation in general for being hypocrites is in fact what’s been said for decades! Goes back to Elvis and rock and roll..to the criticism that artists like Em and Marlyn Manson were receiving in the late 90s/earky 2000s. This is why Em reached a wider audience! White kids connected with him more as opposed to realities of hustling in the streets!

    I felt the same, but the song also felt off to me because it always seemed like 2 different songs between their verses. It only made sense later when I found out that song was originally recorded with Royce Da 5'9 in place of Jay-Z. It sounds much more cohesive with Royce on it.

    Eminem at his Best was the Eminem Show. He sounds like an American on that album. Square Dance and White America are VERY conscious Political records. Then you have Superman and Drips which are nasty records for the females. Without Me is very entertaining. That album perfectly describes what the USA is. No other rapper has ever done that. I feel as if Black Americans don't embrace being Sovereign Citizens of the USA in general. Eminem is Unique, Real and very talented, that's why he's great.
