Lol Mike isn't but I had to put someone you may have heard of. I can't stand linkin park. You're looking at my personal opinion as fact. That's silly. My taste is not your taste. I'll give you that he has more technical skill flow than Everlast and the beasties, pretty much everyone on that list is a legend in their own right. Lesser known to you doesn't make them not legit. The fact his early material was directly a rip of RA and Cage can't be ignored to me. Dose one was also put as a joke. His voice is almost as bad as Marshalls to me.

And you've got to be kidding me that he'd destroy half that list. In what a fake movie battle? You do know 8 mile was a movie right? You do know JUICE dismantled him right?

For a white rapper to come out of the battle scene in Detroit, where he starts off losing in most people's eyes till he slaughters the opponent, and gets noticed by someone as high-profile as Dr Dre, is pretty damn impressive. He's not afraid to try out a shit-load of different styles and a wide variety of background types. Whether someone likes his voice or not, personal preference. That said, his rap game can't be denied.

I feel that. I'm not questioning his talent or the way he played the game at all. I love RA for the fact he was slated to be the first huge white rapper with deals offered by everyone from "Russel Simmons to Master P" only to sign with Jive, get so disgusted by them signing ICP and Britanny Spears, that he took the advance, bought a house and a bunch of guns and never recorded the record lol. Mostly though white rap is emo or abstract which is cool for a bit, but really I love the gritty shitty dungeon sounding boom bap shit. Like your list on the last post. Sorry if I was a dick, I just love getting into tangles over hip hop. I assumed you were the typical "Eminem is the only rapper that's dope" person and boy was I wrong. Super props and blessings to you and major respect for having facts to back your opinion. not that you needed to, an opinion is ours to have and no one should cast judgement on someone's opinion. What's right to you is right for you and vice versa.
