Eminem tops my list of all time favorite artists. Creative genius
I agree... from the first time I heard him on the 'Infinite LP' from back in Detroit.Quote:

Lux has sort of lost his buzz after the Hollow battle, and Mook doesn't deserve a shot at all. That being said, if he did decide to take a battle, I'd be interested.
Agreed... plus Em came from an era of battling where it was all off the top, no writtens allowed. I'm sure he could adapt to the written format though.Quote:

Yeah... Dizaster can mix the writtens with off top pretty well too. Diz should destroy Cassidy.Quote:

I think Diz would be a decent opponent, and it's Em's favorite battler, but does he really deserve the shot? Does anyone?
I don't know what he said in the redbull interviews but I drove Em to the Rap Olympics and saw him freestyle off the head for like 45 minutes straight before the competition started. We were sitting at a table full of flyers and stickers. Paul Rosenberg, Marc Kempf and I handed him flyers which he worked into his freestyle.Quote:

That's awesome, man. What a cool experience. I would have never guessed you guys went so far back. Em could/can definitely free, which is easy to see from all of the cyphers he's been on, all the sessions with Proof and the youtube video where Paul gives him words to use. I'm just repeating what he said though. You probably know better than I. I just think with how much there is at stake and how serious he takes he craft, I would assume a large majority, if not all of his material is written nowadays.
He used to have a few punchlines ready that he could work into his rap but I would say that he was freestyling for the most part. In the old format for battle rap like Scribble Jam it was a tournament so you didn't know who you were going to battle so they didn't have time to prepare for each opponent.Quote:

how awesome would it be if Eminem was a black belt in BJJ? Imagine the awesome raps he would do. He wouldn't rap much about brocoli..:P
Awesome cypher. It'd be interesting to see how he'd go in today's world of mostly writtens and single matches.

im cold enough and hot enough to freeze and unthaw, i kick my girl out in 10 degrees and a bra
scribble jam was the only true freestyle competition. Now grindtime/kotd is all writtens. Dont get me wrong, there are some absolute monsters in the battle game. But it wouldnt be worth it for em to come back and battle them. if he lost, its a huge deal, and if he won it didnt mean anything anyway. dna could probably body eminem. but dna cant write a multi plat album.
RIP Eyedea. That cat could gas.
Oh, dear god. You're kidding me, right? DNA only bodies himself every time he opens his mouth.Quote:

The game has changed and Em doesn't need to go back to battle rap... but I think he would still do well.Quote:

Yeah... I saw that awhile back. They both brought heat in that battle.Quote:

Honestly Em could just battle about his own prestige for 2 minutes straight and make just about any of them look like complete jokes. I think this was something he just excels at, think how many souls he would crush if was actually given time write stuff down?
I remember being at this battle. In my opinion Em should have won the battle. Em and the dude he battled in the final from Project Blowed who was called Otherwise actually went back and forth for three rounds. The video below only have one of the rounds recorded.
