Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
@WORD!!!
HHHHH JOKE OF THE YEAR !!!
Eminem is the biggest rapper of all time, no question.
Just look at the numbers.
But, I doubt that Nicki Minaj would get that big.
Imo this shits kinda wack! Well i wouldn’t say wack but i aint feeling this at all!!
@ronnie_moe I agree with that statement if you’re talking about strictly popularity. Em is in my top 10….maybe even top 5 lyricist. He’s definitely the most popular and I guess that equates to biggest. People on twitter are more up in arms about the Eminem statement than Nicki Minaj being compared to Eminem though….which doesn’t make any sense
Kanye got that CD flow going on this one
ripped it
It was okay at best
shit was dope, the asphalt line made me chuckle.
kinda meh IMO
Im sorry kanye can’t rap but good producer
U can’t be mad at this song…….. or that fact that he felt it enough to drop it the day after it’s first real mix.
He’s not gon’ reinvent the whole genre yall. When it’s all said and done he’s gonna spit over some beats. What didn’t he do that has some of yall disappointed? Real question, no shade intended……
you made her famous
“that happen acouple times last yr”
lmao shots at swift
Dis nigga said Eminem the number #1 rapper of all time ??? wtf first Drake said it the other day now him …niggaz just tryna get Eminem fans to buy they shit thats why they dick riding ..Nigga said Nicki Minaj can be the number 2 best rapper of all time really?? Kanye dat desperate now he tryna get some Barbie fans and hype up his song wit her ….sucka
I have just gained ALOT of respect for Kanye hahaha!
the verses are sick but the sound doesnt seem like it fits with the rest off the album
@ Thank Me Hater
I don’t understand that either.
Once you go over the numbers and you see what I see then you could understand where he’s coming from.
Not a lot of rappers have come close to accomplishing what Eminem has, as far as popularity.
Why he said Nicki Minaj as number two I have no idea though.
Wheres Ac@pella and ultra at..Your Fav artist just said the Whiteboys the GOAT!!!
Aye Imma Let You Finish but I got Beyonce on the track lmao
just caught that
ye is back!!!! with a new attitude but i think hes wrong about 1 thing em aint gonna go down as the greatest rapper he is.
@J naw that’ll ultimately be Biggie or Pac or Jay. There’s no way hip hop would let a white dude from the trailer park take that honor….plain and simple
if you go by record sells ofcourse Em would be the greatest hiphop artist of all time. Its fact.
he just has more people who would actual want to buy his album instead of burn it
but if your not going by “sells” then its a subjective topic. Me personally i think jay gets that honor but again, its subjective.
@Truth83 I cosign that. The thing that’s blowing my mind is the comparison to Nicki. Of course to some Em is the greatest to some Jay to some Kanye etc. But NICKI!!!!! For Nicki to be compared to Em she has to sell over 80 mill records win 11 grammies win an Oscar, and be named artist of the decade. What the fuck is Ye thinking?!
you sound like some @sshole from 8 mile…take your white ass back to the trailer park…damn dude where does it stop? first it’s a white and black thing, now its a which hood he from thing..if he was from the mean streets of brooklyn you think he would get more love? you think if he was black he would get less love? if I was 6 foot 6 with a wicked jumper do you think id be playing in the NBA? who cares about what ifs??? it is what it is….hip hop is music born from struggle…so isn’t it more of a upper class lower class thing? or atleast shouldn’t it be? and if you take all that out of it…why does everybody’s favorite rapper big up EM as one of the greatest and internet junkies on message boards think they are either insane or lying through they teeth for sales purposes? You cats just listen to CD’s, those cats ARE hip hop, they live it and breathe it for a living…don’t you think they would know better than you??
LOL @dainventah are you on the wrong blog site? Who are you responding too?
he said potential.. everyone needs to relax on the nicki comparison thing, POTENTIAL

WTF?
i’m responding to you kiddo…”.that’ll ultimately be Biggie or Pac or Jay. There’s no way hip hop would let a white dude from the trailer park take that honor….plain and simple”
btw, is there a group that meets every thursday called “official hop hop” that votes on stuff like that? do they meet in your mom’s basement perhaps? and if there is…why does it sound like you’re invited but not Kanye? Or Jay Z? man i bet if Tupac of Biggie were alive right now and they said some ish like Kanye just did you would say that they were huffing paint or past their prime or blabbity blah blah…
disclaimer: I just don’t like you so i constantly discount the credibility of your posts
disclaimer2: but i do think you are 1 of the top 5 posters on here though
disclaimer3: i think disclaimers make me sound impartial and more rational than i actually am and give my tired arguements more validity
[...] hear the entire angie interview here. album’s dropping november 16th and you’ll hear a remix of power featuring ye’s [...]
HAHAHAAH WHERE ARE ALL THE KANYE AND DRAKE STANS/FANS THAT SAID EMINEM IS WACKER THEN GUCCI MANE AND SUCKS LOL
DRAKE – ” EMINEM GREATEST OF ALL TIME”
KANYE WEST – ” EMINEM GREATEST OF ALL TIME”
I LOVE IT AHAHAHAH JAY-Z WILL SAY IT NEXT………..JUST GIVE UP ERBODY ITS OVER WHITE BOY WINS AGAIN AHAAHAH THIS NIGGA IS OWNING BITCHES
The smart thing to do would be to throw J.Cole on the power remix with Jay and Kanye. Great promotion
Yes, Eminem is #1 in album sales, but that doesn’t make him the best rapper.
Kanye West: “Eminem is the number 1 rapper of all time” HE KNOWSS WHAT UPPP
[...] Thank GOD because the rap game seems pretty dry lately. Kanye stopped by Hot 97 and sat down with Angie Martinez to talk about a multitude of topics. Kanye started by releasing his new single See Me Now featuring [...]
Well, Ye didn’t say “Eminem’s the greatest rapper of all time, when it comes to album sales”
He just said, Eminem is the No. 1 rapper of all time.
Seriously yo? Is it that hard for some people to acknowledge that? Whether you hate him, or love him give props where it’s due. I mean he achieved so many things in hip hop, Even if it’s only because he’s white, he STILL achieved something that most rappers will never ever do.
So.. yall need to just admit it. Your fav rapper just majorly cosigned Eminem, get over it.
Dead.
Em is clearly the best there is, the best there ever has been and the best there ever will be, but i think after tip drops king uncaged he could be looking at the second spot. Kanye, Jay, Weezy round out the top 5.
Kanye West said “OVERALL” including rappin, and record sales, and fan base,…Kanye said an illuminati puppet doin what he told by the label ..they want a white man to be the face of hip-hop…
Props to Em, however 2pac, Biggie, and Jay, rakim round out the top 5
nicki doesnt even have an album yet
i wonder how jay-z feels that both drake and kanye dissed him????
….i aint gonna frunt Ye probaly lost a sale with me, i just heard the interview and this dude Kanye imo said the most outlandish statement EVER. He gave EM way too much and put him over everybody. Yes im pissed off and it takes me a while to get rid of my anger…man if other peepo dont approach Kanye on that statement then idk but as of now he lost me, not like it matters but im gone

Kanye is a CRAZY and disrespectful to hip hop!
@ Nickeyblack.
Holy shit son, you would kill yourself if you knew how many rappers cosigned Eminem.
Kanye does Kanye, he should not be called a “sell out” Just because him and many many many and many of rappers cosigned Eminem. As I said before, get the fuck over it, life goes on, kid.
@antione dumbson….screw you and kanye, now get over that
@ nickyblack
how did he give him too much credit?
out of every person who has ever rapped, eminem will never not be considered among the greatest top 5 of all time. put his whiteness aside and the guy sells albums. he produces. he has his own radio show. had his own clothing line. won an oscar. appeared in movies. owns a record label. has incredible flow. puts words together that has rarely been done. syllable after syllable. won over 10 grammys.
to me, he is the most complete rapper ever.
2pac is top 5 but he never produced his own songs, biggie and jay-z and nas as well.
does that mean cuz eminem produces he is automatically better? no, absolutely not, but it shows that he has multiple skills. producing is hard. em isnt great at it, but he isnt bad. remember he produced “lose yourself” the most popular rap song of all time. look it up, dont hate.
yes hes my fav, but i love nas jay big 2pac as well. em just stands out much more than them all, not just in the USA but throught the globe.
I’m not gonna front and say Em is not talented…it’s clearly that he’s nice with it! He proved that already…that said, he’s not the greatest rapper of all time. We all know that if he was black, he wouldn’t have sold that much. Just being real…
damn thats gotta hurt…2 of Jay’s close friends called Em the goat…lol
kanye is living that life.
and 2pac is the greatest ever.period.
Thats what we been waiting for HOPE NOT! Kanye can do better than this POWER was a banger This EHH I dont think so!
GARBAGE!!!!!!!!
AND IM A KANYE STAN!! This is really weak! Are yall really going crazy for this.. ????
The man who did.. Through the Wire, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Amazing, Big Brother????
YALL ARE BUGGING!
kanyes back! ill as hell will be picking up the new album when it drops!
