dude said discriminated for being white

This thread and a lot of his fans that like him because he’s a white guy and not just off skill. Even his time as a battle rapper is overstated.

He gave Hov the worst beat on The Black Album and Renegade despite being a good song doesn't fit on The Blueprint sonically IMO

Should've mentioned his feats on Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Xzibit, Sticky Fingaz, Obie Trice, etc albums instead

he a legend regardless of the dip in quality.

HAS UZI GONE TOO FAR?
☹️

hes a megastar. most megastars have fans that dont care about the genre they come from. the same applies to jay z tupac kanye west wayne drake snoop 50 and every other megastar rapper

masterpiece

but what about this

You’re right to some extent but those artists fans that don’t care about the culture rarely have the thinly veiled racism with it. They also don’t run to a movie to call them gods of something they were very much a mortal at.

damn nvm that beat is trash haven't heard this in years

Wheezing at this

Tfw op says This is why in thread title but doesn’t says why

I love the song but I'm not sure how much the beat contributes to that

I guess it works good for Em

Actually Nas gave meaning to stan when he called jay z. That’s when people started using it that way
Other than that I agree

No

Stan is Em song

He was a literal battle rapper though

Mid

His time as a battle rapper is overstated. He wasn’t what people act like he was.

Yeah but Nas used that term in Ether when he called Jay Z a stan. It didn’t have the same connotation before that

Em production aged like milk. Don't even get me started on his "Loyal to the Game" production.

he had some cool input on the massacre tho
also prod on fire by lloyd banks

and he def got better over the years with it imo

but yea those older beats all sound kinda clunky for the most part

rap is like a mountain

Moment of Clarity is fire

produced the beat and killed the verses
