Tupac Vs. Eminem
 

No contest....They are both brutal and we just show our age when talking about these talentless fucksticks.

I made the mistake of asking a 17 year old girl what her favorite rap groups were and she listed underground, unsigned hype that I (or you Source reading motherfuckers) have never even heard of. It was at this point when I immediately realized I've passed into middle age (at 27).

But there is one thing you can point about these MTV whores. While the argument can be made that both Tupac Shakur and Marshall Mathers are media-created, over-produced, no talent bums - their oedipal complexes are a little different

Compare the lyrics of "Cleanin out my Closet" to "Dear Mama"...

Tupac's shit rises above the "disrespect my mother for shock value" tone that Em's wack-ass production company came up with.

And on that note: Everyone seems to say "Eminem's old shit was great." Can someone please give me an example of an old Eminem song worth downloading?

Just my :2 cents:

I have no idea how old it is, but i like Amityville.

Tupac and Eminem both are fucking great dude. How about Stan.:thumbsup

uh both great lyricist but shouldnt be top 3... Dre3000,Aesop Rock and Rakim own those three spots... Eminem and Tupac fall in 4-8 somewhere... No need to mention them

and Eminems early work is mix tapes and battles... I'm not a fan but I consider dude a genious,not many people can come from a battle MC background like him and become a studio MC...People buy the Eminem "character" instead of buying his music...Tupac isnt what he's percieved to be,too much credit if you ask me.. Him and Biggie fall waaaay short of being the best MC's of all time... Only the MTV generation gives them that acolade

um... honestly... neither are worth a pint of piss if you ask me... but that MY opinion.

I disagree.

BIGGIE SMALLS is the lyricist of the millenium.

Ever hear the BIGGIE / Tupac freestyle?

Sweet!

Tupac had much much more of an impact on the music industry and common folks than Eminem ever will.Even though Tupac contradicted himself a lot due to his own personal demons he still is a great legacy..

why the fuck would you compare those two..... what a fucking disgrace. Eminem is lame.

you say "sweet" so obviously your the MTV generation I'm talking about :winkwink: Liking somebody and them being your favorite artist doesnt make them the greatest MC... Biggie had no wordplay,he just had a cadence in his voice and above average flow....

Any songs to recommend from Dre3000 or Aesop?

biggie is an awesome MC.

Sorry chief....

Up here in Arctic Canada, we weren't violated by that MTV filth.

We only get MuchMusic in our igloos.

The funniest thing is sitting back and reading a bunch of cracka ass crackas critiquing rap music as if they know anything.

If you like an artist then good for you, if you don't, why criticize them by saying things like "talentless"? Although many people dislike Em, whoever says he's talentless if simply a jackass. To prove this point, try doing what he does. When you fail miserably, you'll understand that he's very talented at what he does.

2pac - Changes
Em - The way I am

Those are 2 amazing songs (especially lyrically), both of which were written by them.

Are you seriously comparing Eminem to 2Pac? 2Pac may have been a bit of a studio ganster, but he was still one of the best rappers of all time.



Uhh, they have a ton of freestyles together, but I assume you're talking about the most popular one (I got 7 mack 11s, about 8 .38s, 9 9s 10 mack 10s the shit never ends). You're right, that is an unreal freestyle.

Tupac was cool

:2 cents:

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

dre is in Outkast,I suggest getting some of the earlier work...southernplayalisticcadilliacmuzak and probably one of the best written albums of all time ATLiens.. Aesop is as underground as they come but when there is a poll done on the greatest he's usually 1,2 or 3.... Can't think of any songs of the top of my head cause I'm not really a fan but i respect talent...

Once again Tupac isnt the greatest MC of all time,ask any hiphop head... If anything he set hiphop back a few years... him and Eminem ARE comparable because not too many artists wear their heart on their sleeve like they do... What makes their music stand out is that it IS contradictable cause thats life! and they are a couple of the few who actually lived how they speak it...

different backgrounds,different lifestyles so you can't compare them there

You wanted an old Eminem song that you should download....get INFINITE

2pac is an artist, rapper, and an actor with skills and something to listen to.... while Eminem is a typical idiot that has no other means to attract attention to himself besides spitting bullshit about others ;-)

:2 cents:

eminem has some funny freestyle from the freestyle contests

i fucked him

Very true....

And 2Pac is my favorite rapper

Just curious what a "cracka" is exactly. I mean I think I know that "cracka" and "cracker" is what black racists call white people I think?

But what the hell does it mean, where did it come from etc etc?

LMAO @ cracka ass crackas. Hilarious yo. Also forgot Tupac's "So Many Tears" and "Keep Ya Head Up."

what's funny about another person callin another white person a crack ass cracka?..kinda sense does that shit make? "yo"

Pac is playing some people for a fool..Theres a reason he started calling himself Makaveli..I suggest you go look up who that is and what made him famous... YES that was an actual person MTV generation...

"Pac and Biggie Yo #1" LOL..clowns

Correct, I was quoting Chris Rock from any of his comedy shows.

bun b & pimp C :thumbsup

eminem :thumbsup tupac :thumbsup

Careful when looking for Aesop's music, there is an "Aesop" and an "Asop" as well, one I believe is from the Bay area with Living Legends (wiicked underground tunes if you like that stuff).. Aesop Rock is from Brooklyn, his albums are entitled Float (1998) AppleSEED (1997) and Labor Days (2001)

Don't get an aesop rock song, you'll miss the rest of the album. :)

ahhhh I'm glad somebody has a sense of music around here

few other people to check out...Sage Francis,Slug,Ceelo,Slimm calhoun,Killer mike :thumbsup

Are you saying white people can't appreciate or critique rap music? If i ever see you critique anything done by a white person, can i dismiss your opinion 'cause you're a ghetto dwelling hip hop head ****** crack dealing... and so on?

Idiot.

The question is will Eminem get a post on GFY years after his death, where he is compared to one of the tightest rappers out there... my guess is no.

Tupac was a poet and I know of 1 university studying his work.

Both artists are great. Not forgetting NAS who is able to make the switch from mainstream rap to hardcore/underground at will.

I didn't like Eminem until I heard Stan.

\X/

Westsiiiiide.

Yay yayeeee

I didn't say you can't appreciate or critique anything. I said it was funny sitting back and reading a bunch of white people saying things like "studio gangster" or "Tupac ain't for real", etc... As if anybody knows anything about what either of them went through.

You can dismiss my opinion on anything & everything you wish tiger.

Considering that eminem cites tupac as one of his influences, 2pac is clearly superior. People are still nodding their heads to 2pacs cds, some as old as 10 years. I'd be surprised if people are listen to eminem's TRL-friendly recycled shit in 10 years
