@NEW WORLD well this is not about white supremacy wtf? I dont think hip hop is about skin color, i disagree that you think i say em is goat cause of the industry says it. I am saying it. About rock genre I think Chuck B is Goat and beatles and the stones, but it is about each person opinion. Like I said I think em did everything to be a goat, a lot of songs with so many themes, his life, we can see him growing up as a person and dad and everything is reflected in his songs, all the connection between people and his art is amazing. Also his lyricism has evolved so much. He is in another level. He reaches technical perfection like old school rappers like rakim, jeru the damajah etc. He is surrounded by the best artists, idk man thats what i think, no need to get upset. Of course we can argue about lyricism between the R and Em cause they are fuckin insane, playing in other league you know. In th3 end is not about who is the best, just to enjoy and keep spreading hip hop culture and love.
hip hop is still alive, yall just gotta know how to dig. only difference is 20 years ago this shit was the mainstream shit, now its not. its still here, just not on the radio anymore.
It's the other way around big time dude nowadays there's plenty of rappers pulling crowds and selling records at a much bigger number then back in the day cod all the white kids listen to em the difference is back in the day they were actually good
When some people forget about who Rakim is, I want to tell them only one thing: Rakim is the idol of our idols. (Pac, Nas, Biggie, Eminem, Jay Z etc, etc ....). Roughly 80 percent of old school rappers learned to rhyme with Rakim.
always wanted to see your nation! there was a guy in the service with me who told me that a lot of weird things occur in some forest, forgot the name he mentioned, lol

FM...it's haram...why you listening to such music? 😄🤣😂😆 Just kidding...music is universal language...humanity's connection. Your brother from the other side of the Red Sea.
"You don't have to blow 20 thou to get to know honey style, show her the town, steal her heart, no money down" One of the best lines in rap, a message to the young bucks.
Rakim invented rhyming. Before him it was jazz and just spitting lyrics. But he showed that there must be a flow and intellectualism to the verses. In simpler words, he thrashed old dated hip-hop and reinvented the genre as a whole new and paved the way for East Coast rap which was lyrically superior to West Coast. Every notable rapper owe it to Rakim
Brian Dwi Em was certainly influenced by Rakim but his talent and rap skills are definitely better. Rakim is more like a poet while Em is an incredible lyricist and master the flow
@@doublem1975x cmon man you cant deny eminem is one of the best rappers to ever do it like him or not🤷♂️ I absolutely despise jay z with a passion but i cant deny hes a top ten rapper no matter how bad i want to i cant do it🤷♂️💯
@@sanperchannel9560 You can’t deny Jay because he’s the GOAT. Eminem is a white trash corny culture vulture that talked about killing his mom and beefed with female pop stars. Maybe u get impressed easily from fast crappy ABC rhymes but real hip hop heads know the truth.
