    Dope. You guys arent gonna post the winners of each battle? Or is it on a website somewhere?

  2. [...] Last night at the Bowery Ballroom, many emcees went head to head during the New York date of the Red Bull EmSee: The Road to 8 Mile competition. From what I have read the battles were lackluster but if that is the cost to see Eminem tear down the Bowery Ballroom stage then it’s a small price to pay.

    Eminem sounds good without playback. Just few rappers can do that; Nas, for example, can’t.

    @mx predator
    eminem show is 8?

  43. @Eminem says:

    Why Does You Lip Sync All The Time…….

  44. Nathaniel says:

    @anybody who thinks he ain’t either 1. lip synching or 2. using a vocal play back that drowns out his live vocals

    denial is a pitiful state of being. it doesn’t take away from his legacy, he’s still a monstrosity on the mic. he just APPARENTLY needs help/crutch cuz he can’t get all that shit out walkin back n forth on stage and addressing the crowd too. and i only said Despicable because that’s the only one it’s obvious on.

    and lastly, for the last time. u CANT sound “exactly the same” on a record and on stage. why? because the record is mixed and mastered in a studio you dumb fucks. live is raw. that’s how u can always tell if there’s some sync/play back. some of yall just can’t take anything less than perfect being said about eminem. must be some kind of chronic, debilitating condition, hahaha!

    anyway, dope performance. recovery in stores and all that jazz.

  45. Argenys says:

    HE DOESN’T LIP SYNC! Get a fucking life.

  46. MxPredator says:

    @Nushay
    Lol surprisingly yes

  47. MxPredator says:

    @Nushay
    On the Hip-Hop Charts tho

  48. i did not watch this particular performance.

    by lip sync i assume Nathaniel, who is one of the most objective and intelligent posters here, just means that WHILE he’s rapping LIVE, there’s ALSO a vocal track playing.

    and sometimes he doesn’t finish his lines, like he raps most of the bar then stops PROBABLY SO HE CAN CATCH A BREATH. during that pause his hypemen usually finish the line for him or the so-called “playback” track just continues and covers that space for him. during that pause he is practically lip synching but he’s not because he’s not mouthing the words; he just stops.

    it’s not a big deal to me so don’t take it as hating, it’s an objective observation. i’ve seen that with Em for YEARS so i agree with Nathaniel. it would be really hard to rap every single line when he has the most rapid-fire, syllable-packed bars in virtually the entire industry. i imagine just to record those verses he has to do some punching-in of vocals.

    @nathaniel, no matter how hard u try to be calm and reasonable and positive, people will get emotional and call u idiot and say get a fucking life and curse at you as a hater, hey? anyway, props for always knowing wut u r talking abt.
