    hey DickMcJunkin...Eminem is the best selling rap artist of time. He's sold more records than Jay.

    Eminem was the biggest selling artist in North America for the entire past decade. Yes, that is correct. Not the top selling rap artist, but the top selling artist, period.

    His last 2 albums- Relapse (which was total shit) and Recovery, both sold more than any of Jay's recent albums. In fact, Recovery sold over 4 million in the US/Canada alone. Double what Jay's last release did.

    Eminem is the most commercially successful rap artist ever, fyi.

    None of that matters. He has some great fans. Good for him.

    Would Jay Z had planned for a thong wearing, ass cheek bearing man to plant his nuts on his face?

    Em is a comedy act. Thats what his career has been, for the most part.

    Nobody is arguing about his skills, but he's more Dwight Howard than Shaq, if that makes any sense.

    you are not hearing me

    sales : eminem

    commercial success (otherwise known as richer...) jay

    commercial success, as a brand, is not judged by album sales. it is judged by big bank takes little bank.

    sorry, em loses that one... unless you want to redifine commerce.

    thankskbye

  • It comes down to who is the best all around rapper. I'm going with Pac ,Biggie, Jayz ,Eminem, Nas ,Rakim and LL in that order. I could keep going but I don't feel like it.

    No. The only way you can say this is if all you ever listen to are radio singles, in which case your opinion on rap really couldn't be more irrelevant.

    I didnt just listen to radio singles.

    If someone is putting Em before pac, biggie, jay, nas, etc, their opinion on rap couldnt be more irrelevant.

    Then you should know that Eminem's albums are 90%+ serious songs, with one or maybe two "comedy" singles to get on MTV. Seriously, look at the Marshall Mathers LP tracklist and tell me what song other than The Real Slim Shady and the skits qualifies as "comedy"

    1. "Public Service Announcement 2000"
    2. "Kill You"
    3. "Stan" (featuring Dido)
    4. "Paul" (skit)
    5. "Who Knew"
    6. "Steve Berman" (skit)
    7. "The Way I Am"
    8. "The Real Slim Shady"
    9. "Remember Me?" (featuring RBX & Sticky Fingaz)
    10. "I'm Back"
    11. "Marshall Mathers"
    12. "Ken Kaniff" (skit)
    13. "Drug Ballad"
    14. "Amityville"
    15. "Bitch Please II" (featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit & Nate Dogg)
    16. "Kim"
    17. "Under the Influence"
    18. "Criminal"

    edit: you can do that with any of eminem's CDs. Yet obviously "Eminem is a comedy act" lmfao be more ignorant. He does comedy stuff like My Name Is or the Borat-guy thing to get publicity but underneath that is one of the rawest, most talented MCs of all time.

    Im ignorant for thinking Em cant touch Biggie or Pac status?

    I dont care if it was for attention or not, letting another male sit his butt cheeks in your face is irreversible.

    I dont care how raw of a rapper you are.

    Ive acknowleged his skills countless times already, but he doesnt make good music, imo.

    We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

    Thats pretty much how he got started, thats how liked the label execs to present him to the fans.

    He has toned it down, but did you really take the guy serious before 8 mile?

    He was beefing with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera when he came, lol.

    and this post is exactly why I'm calling you ignorant and think you only listen to radio singles. Eminem has ONE SONG on the Marshall Mathers LP where he's "beefing with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera." Everything else on that album is raw, dark, brilliant, and not pop-y at all. Same thing applies to the Slim Shady LP. Both of those albums are considered all-time classics.

    Seriously, your line itt is ridiculous. Every rapper who has had commercial success has put out vapid singles that exist only to get radio play. Do you judge Jay-Z on the basis of "Can I Get A..." or Tupac on the basis of "California Love"? Nas wrote "Gettin Jiggy With It"...is that all he can do? Judge rappers on their body of work, don't just point out one song and dismiss them because of it.

    This says you are ignorant or at least naive. If you can't see how, it proves the point.

  • Big L a 10 seed?! Thats my pick all the way to the finals for sure.. Head to head Big L might be the best lyricist ever.. Agree Em got shafted at 5 seed, but theres no way he should be a 1 seed.. 2 or 3 seed IMO.. In a battle Em would crush Pac, Biggie would be a challenge.. Of course Big L would murder Em in a battle..

    Play

    Big L 98 Freestyle

    FOR INDUSTRY BEATS PLEASE VISIT : GKEYBEATS.COM Just something I threw together, I thought this website needed more Big L. Actually its more of a song than a video since there isn't much to look at lol.

    Did I once say he wasnt a legit rapper?

    The guy isnt #1, get over it.

    Why is Biggie or Pac widely considered the best, by far, then by a good majority of Em's peers?

    If not those 2, its Rakim, Nas, Big L, or even Jay Z and 3000.

    I havent claimed anyone the best, because there are so many. But, if I had to it would Biggie and Pac. Eminem made a song about you guys: Its called Stan, lol.

    Were you to ignorant or naive to see he was picking fun at you?

    Can he rap? Of course.

    His music is strange though, imo.

    Big L and Jay-Z - 7 Minute Freestyle (LYRICS)

    R.I.P BIG L Big L''s Lyrics Yo, check it Yo, I got slugs for snitches No love for bitches Puttin thugs in ditches When my trigger finger itches I got a rep that make police jet Known to get a priest wet I never beg for pussy like Keith Sweat Is Big L slow? Hell no Bitches get fucked on the roof when I ain't got no hotel dough I'm known for yoking jacks And beatin them with smoking gats Leavin token blacks with broken backs and open caps So with that bullshit, step to the rear son The last thing you want with Big L is a fair one Cause in a street brawl, I strike men like lightning You see what happened in my last fight friend? Aight then I beat kids with lead pipes I leave a trail of dead mic's Where I'm from, niggaz jewels get ran like red lights Old folks get mugged and raided Crimes are drug related And we live by the street rules that thugs created Clowns get smoked about a thousand volts For selling pounds of coke Front in this town and get a tech stuck down your throat I'm tellin you shit is about to get drastic soon I'm quick to blast a goon And break a motherfucker like a plastic spoon I got the looks that make your hotty stare I keep a shotty near It's the nigga with notty hair who Gotti fear Tracks I'm know to roast Until the microphone is ghost Props I own the most I'm leaving niggaz comatose Front and get your brain pinched Big L will have your whole gang lynched I started smoking dust and been insane since This rap shit was a great gift The other night some snake riffed And got a hot lead face lift All through high school I had braids I kept mad blades Stabbing teachers to death that gave me bad grades I cook the mic like a beef steak Cause my techniques great And I'm the nigga police hate in each state Cause I'm the neighborhood lamper Punk brother vamper Fuck around you'll find my silk boxers in your mother's hamper Cops drop when my glock makes a pow sound I'm from a whyle town You know my style clown, so bow down My crew be deliverin hot lead when gats are clenched Rappers I jack and lynch Nobody can fuck with the way I be killing the shit in rap events Big L is the nigga you expect To catch wreck in any cassette deck I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet I'm feeling like Billy Bathgate My rap style is past great I love to fuck a bitch from the back and watch her ass shake I probably got your mommy strung Niggaz hear me and take more notes than Connie Chung My clan plans to get Guillianni hung Never had a gassed head Got loot cause I stash bread Try to tax and I'ma beat your fagot ass half-dead I stomp white cops till the life stops For a low price hops Cause my blood is colder than an ice box On 1-3-9 you don't want a block war Cause my crew will kill a nigga from the lobby to the top floor And every time a mack eleven bucks I'm killing at least seven ducks I never was a follower of Reverend Butts The bitch type I dislike, I'm rougher than a fist fight All chicks ain't shit, ain't no such thing as Miss Right So we can never be a couple hun Fuck love, all I got for ho's is hard dick and bubble gum And clown emcee's I be attacking quick I'm on some rappin shit and some car jackin shit I ran up on this nigga name Mac in a black ac And put the gat to his cap, click-clack Sorry jack but get up out of that My 38 works great, so make a mistake and hesitate I can't wait to demonstrate this nickel plate He didn't listen to what I was speakin He started reaching So I left him sleepin with his temple leaking
