coogar: eminem murdered jay-z on renegade. as good as jay-z's lyrics & delivery were on that track, he still couldn't top eminem's fluid delivery.

I agree 100%.. Cold blooded murder..

THAT WAS THEIR OPINION.. In case you missed it., it said "As Presented by hiphop365.com"
Purely subjective..

mekula: We all know about the Rakim-pac-biggie-nas fable, but speaking in present terms, I think I'd give that title to Jigga before Em. Em may be a new god, but Jigga has been with his fellow gods since. So creative, lyrically witty, consistent since 1995 and more of a shape shifter than any other rapper alive. He embodies what a god should be like, finesse, classy, lots ah benjies and oh! a goddess for a wife.

OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THE TRACK, "RENEGADE".. Don't worry, it's not your fault I understand..

eGuerrilla: It is to his credit that Ra never shied away from acknowledging eminem's contribution

The truth is, despite what fans like you think - and I am not suggesting your opinion does not matter - industry insiders still consider Ra #1.

Very very true.. Ra was so far ahead of his time it was scary..

pappilo: Hell No

For me not even in the top 10. Is he better than Nas, Method Man, Raekwon, Talib Kweli and many many more? I remember his 1st major single "my name is". What a joke of a song. How da hell do you sing that and go on to be the Rap god?

The only reason he blew was the colour of his skin. I remember my former oyinbo manager saying "I dont like rap music but I like Eminem".

Is he lyrically more gifted/efficient than the lot u mentioned? Yes! A resounding yes for tht matter.
Is he better than them? It depends on your definition of 'better' because all those rappers you mentioned have their own style n delivery method n have been successful at it in their own way. Comparing them to each other isn't really accurate and fair to their styles..
How can he put together a track like 'my name is' n go on to become a rap god? One word - evolution. Hopefully you understand wht I mean. Bdw, 'my name is' was awesome..
As to why he blew up.. First of all, to say it's because of the color of his skin isn't really accurate. One : he's brilliant and puts a lot of thought into crafting every bar of every verse. And he raps using actual English words not the excessive hood lingua most black rappers use and Em stil delivers mean verses while at it..
Finally he redefines his rap progressively but in a consistent, lyrically brilliant manner..

How many of you here watched Game of Thrones or Spartacus LEGALLY??

emmysenior: Women, hmm... Deadly set of beings, Eve put the world into what it is today, woman thief for senate, na man later died, King Solomon's glory almost faded away because queen Sheba, once upon a time, a notorious presido was silently killed courtesy ladies, Samson's power disappeared, courtesy woman, my uncle lost his previous job cos of a treacherous lady.

A woman can either make a man or destroy him, depending on the type.

a serious problem is being brought to light and all you care about is to make discriminatory and sexist comments? I feel sorry for you and please next time mention SPECIFICALLY d name of the woman or women tht hurt u instead of GENERALIZING. Smh
