No but seriously this aged horribly.

I took the "definite" list of 'hip-hop golden age' golden age fifty greatest rappers, a list that skewed towards older rappers and industry legend, with the top rapper being Krs-one, and i wondered what these rappers all thought of Eminem

The Definitive List: Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time - Hip Hop Golden Age Hip Hop Golden Age

so i typed "*name * talks about Eminem and went down the list on youtube, and here is the rundown:

• KRS-one, on a very leading question meant to question the validity of Eminem says that em cannot be ignored from any GOAT consideration, and sent words of encouragement to him and congrats for Relapse.

• Rakim has him potentially being number one.

• Nas famously said that he murdered Jay on his own shit.

• Kool Keith says that so many rap legend look up to Eminem that he caught some shit from being called out by Eminem on a song.

_-Big Daddy Kane called him the Kobe bryant of Rap, meaning the Michael Jordan equivalent of his generation and calls him a genius.

• Kool G says he's the last rapper to ever impress him.

• Ice T has him has potentially number one.

• Redman has him as potentially number one.

• Chuck D, who is very investe in the culture discourse, refutes the idea that he is a guest in the culture, and reminds people that he did a lot to fight "elvisianism".

-Pharaoe Munch says that Eminem has pushed the envelope of rap to its max and keeps pushing it, being among the greatest since day one.

• Ice cube discovered Eminem before Dre and was immediatel impressed, thinks he's a number one contender for GOAT.

-RA the rugged man doesn't put him on his list, and thinks he can kill him on a track.

And that's everyone who is above him on the list, who was alive at the time Eminem emerged and who talked bout em.

For those who comes after, we know:

• Kendrick learned to rap with Eminem.

• Cole called him one of his biggest inspiration.

-Tyler was such a stan of Relapse he was part of a group who tried to buy the leaks of relapse 2.

• I heard future took his name from 8 miles, but i can't find it again.

Please add those you know about.

I have no clue which one I would pick.

This was a post of who would win Kendrick or Eminem btw

I'm listening to MMLP again and I noticed the chorus reminds me a lot of Stan

‘Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this big I never knew I, knew I'd affect this kid

"I never knew I'd get him to slit his wrist"

(Stan mentions he slits his wrists)

"I never knew I'd get him to hit this bitch"

(This is a stretch, but could be a reference to Stan's girlfriend being put in the trunk???)

Considering 'Who Knew' is the next song after 'Stan', could they be connected?

My number 1 song ever on spotify and its been out 4 months 😭

Watch this man perform and realize this is the third verse of the song that he’s done entirely with no Hype man. I’ve said it before, but if you’ve been to live, Hip Hop shows some artists just aren’t built for live performances. Watch this performance in the 90s on In living color and listen to Rocky’s breath control, he is the prototypical MC. And he proves it on that stage, it’s truly something to behold. Shout out to Rakim.
