That guy can rap sure but passed Eminem's level? I have to disagree my friend. :-)
Eminem is a fucking genius. A real wordsmith storyteller that can write a hip hop track that a dude in the hood can love, to a rap song even your parents like. I really cant name many other rappers that can do that. Eminem's level is on another level. IMO Only rapper that even touches Eminem in terms of delivering raw emotion etc in a song was 2pac.
Now, I am not saying they are the 2 best lyricists, as there are quite a few really technical guys out there, however they just don't have the whole package like Eminem and 2pac. The hip hop purest's can bitch all they want about Eminem and his commercial success. Nobody gives a shit.
