BS take on Eminem. I don't listen to his stuff much but it's undeniable that if you had a track with "ft. Eminem" or "ft. Ye", you would see more flocking to the former than the latter. No one can deny Eminem's lyrical ability which is unmatched, even if it doesn't play in the club or in the car. The difference is Ye is on social media clowning around for attention whilst Eminem makes his art and recedes into the private life he prefers. That's why this judgement is cloudy, but make no mistake, whenever people think of top genre defining artists, Eminem floats to mind. The fact that Ye has come out to basically show the world that he's a crap person has solidified it more, because in both of their work, a lot of their personality gave it depth - now it doesn't even feel right to listen to Ye's early work because of what we know now.

One thing about Kendrick that's interesting is that few people seem to fully follow his sonic or concept lanes, which happens more with Kanye. Maybe it's because Kanye did a lot of it on his own or almost, which allows for copying more easily, or Kanye's lines aren't as deeply layered, or his albums not as insanely conceptual, but whatever it is, there's a lot more replicability in the industry from his music than from Kendrick's. But maybe it's just that, Kendrick is hard to copy because he reinvents the perspective from what he looks at music, thus each album has its own character name, where Kanye changes the music which he uses to express himself through.

I am a huge Eminem fan (I relisten to Revival and MTBMB and Encore and Relapse a lot), but Lupe is a better rapper. Better albums, better message, better relistenability, better production value, better performer.

I feel like young kids don’t understand the impact Eminem had. I don’t even listen to rap and Em is one of my favorite rappers. Kanye has some hits but Eminem was as big as Drake back in the day. He was much more commercial than Kanye has ever been. Kanye is for rap heads. Eminem went pop

"I don't listen to rap and em is one of my favorite rappers" perfectly sums up why people will always debate whether or not em's influence is important enough to make him the GOAT. This conversation is sparked from a love for hip hop, not because Eminem was the first white person to do it well enough to be in the running.

@@jordanbeck2660 I think that he being white is a big reason why he is not as respected as other rappers by ppl who listen a lot to the genre, i mean, structurally his music is insanely good and he's influenced rappers from all over the world. I still don't understand the genius that ppl see in Ye, listening to his songs i see why ppl like it, but not why ppl venerate it, my favorite thing about him are the samples, but not because he makes them better, but because i go hear the songs that he sampled, which most of the time i prefer than his songs lol. Anyway, Eminem isn't better than kendrick, so the end result would be the same imho.

This video is giving me a stroke. Great stuff. I'm no Ye simp but the ACTUAL influence he's had on current and future projects is MEASURABLY stronger than Em's. Kendrik simply is a better rapper than Ye and I feel confident about that. Ye's influence and production don't outweigh Kendrick's actual ability and potential.

Eminem is the single best RAW rapper. Flows, cadences, rhyme schemes, dubbles, tripples, metaphores, etc. Songwriting, appeal, production, replay ability, catalog, etc is subjective and you can argue for many rappers on that. But if we are talking raw "technical ability" Em is the single greatest of all time. People like Royce, Nas, Thought, and DOOM come close but ultimately it's Em cmon guys. Objectively it's him. Ofc this is Fantano's channel where everyone hates Eminem so this is not gonna be recieved well here

Kanye over eminem no brainer. Even If we were to say that musical and social influence for both was to be even for different reason, the main difference to me is that Kanye still brings new sound and keeps evolving through his new music, he's still showing progression as good or bad as it may be, where as eminem sounds like a broken record and just rides on past success and trying to emulate them.
