@@bailey3276 lyrically or as an artist? Nas Kanye and em are my 3 favorite rappers. Kanye got the best discography out of them and is the most creative. But he got some corny lines and isn’t as lyrically gifted as the other two. Eminem has displayed some of the greatest lyricism and conveys his message in the most powerful way. Nas is the most consistently amazing of the three. The other twos uniqueness leads to them having lows.

This shows you really ain’t a hiphop fan my guy. Em called himself the white guy for years as a badge of honor.

When Jay called him the white guy it’s more of like “I don’t even have to say his name we all know who he is “

@monteestowes1245 2 жыл бұрын
People in the comments are either misunderstanding what Jay meant or purposefully misinterpreting what he said. His reference to "technical skill" didn't mean Pac wasn't lyrical. But Pac was a pretty straightforward person, in and out of the booth. Pac didn't use double or triple entendres (Jay), or Iambic pentameter (Kendrick), or write an album with a story that plays differently whether you listen to the songs in order or in backwards order (Lupe). That's just not the kind of person Pac was, and it wasn't the kind of rapper he was. Pac was visceral and direct; if he wanted to say something, he just said it, no double or hidden meanings needed. That's not a slight to him at all. Pac was Leonardo Da Vinci with the pen. Jay is Salvadore Dali. Both are artists, but their approach to the art was/is completely different, this the listener's experience is completely different.
