    Paul Rosenberg is the co-founder of RapRadar.com

  2. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Em is a legend fif made him richer.

  3. Adam Arsenal says:

    Massive look for Complex. Incredible how they got an interview with Dre.

  4. blackholesurfer says:

    Rap Dynasty no one will do what Em has done. G.O.A.T.

  5. haan( FRENCH VOICE) says:

    eminem need to chill with the makeup

    1. Smale45 says:

      I bet you would be the same person saying ” OMG, eminem has wrinkles” if he wore less make up. It’s a lose lose situation. I think he should use less make up as well, but i can’t blame him when internet breaks over a close up picture of his face with no/little make up.

    2. MrSkeezyMak says:

      Highly doubt Eminem gives a fuck about his makeup, some bitch walks up and applies it to your face for interviews.

  6. Smale45 says:

    Will we ever see anything like this in Hip Hop again ? I honestly doubt it. And i wonder how would have the situation been if Proof wasn’t killed. Anyway, props to Complex for this awesome video.

      1. Smale45 says:

        gtfo. Drake is a cool artist, but he’s nowhere near Em’s accomplishments. What new artists has drake signed ? does he have his own label ? no, and he’s been in the industry for a pretty long time now. 2-3 more years and Drake will be a has-been in this industry

        1. tmb says:

          I think he does. that ovo sound shit or whatever but yeah youre right overall still

        2. Trilles[Tx] says:

          Drake will not be a has-been. Watch.

          1. Dan Karlin says:

            Drake, legit, is the next Will Smith – even if it comes to a point where people aren’t feeling his music anymore, he could EASILY transition into acting – his hosting gig on SNL alone proved that by accident. One way or another, he’s here to stay.

          2. Trilles[Tx] says:

            I strongly believe he’ll go down as a great in the hip hop scene. I think Kendrick and J. Cole got ’em, but I bet you Drake’s name will be spoken about as a hip hop great.

          3. PREMERE says:

            All 3 will and are, they are spoken about like that now….

          4. Trilles[Tx] says:

            I wouldn’t say they are spoken about as a great. A possible great, but they still ain’t on Nas’ level, ain’t on Jay’s level, ain’t on Em’s level. No doubts that they’ll get there, but they haven’t been here long enough to see if it will be.

          5. PREMERE says:

            Some people speak on them on that level, i personally feel how you do it will take time for them for me to consider them great. Its like when i speak with hip hop heads and they tell me gkmc is a classic album, i say really???? Not saying the album wasnt dope i was bumping it for months but it has to stand the test of time to be considered a classic same theory here. And let me add that to me these cats are top 5 for this generation

          6. Trilles[Tx] says:

            Top 5 of this generation agreed, and I like how you put the classic album thing. I consider GKMC so great and a modern classic.. but we don’t know if it’ll be like All Eyez On Me or Illmatic or Stankonia or The Slim Shady LP. We can only wait.

        3. PREMERE says:

          You crazy, drakes top 5 of this new generation like him or not. The kid just got in the game so its not a good comparison to say that he hasnt done what em has done is not a valid point.

          1. Smale45 says:

            He just got in the game ? Dude has been making big waves since 2008 you idiot. That’s 7 years. It’s not even worth to stretch this conversation any further with you

          2. PREMERE says:

            Dam you new niggas are type fucking retarded, let me break it down to you simple minded idiot. We are talking comparisons between em and drake, em been in the game way longer than 7 years so when i say drake just got in the game its figuratively speaking hope you understand now

  7. yorapper says:

    When white dudes hit 40 they turn into wax statues.

    1. Kevin Banks says:

      I wonder how long they took putting on their make up this morning

  8. R. Wellington ® says:

    White women are the best.

    1. brza says:

      *Correction* ALL women are the best

      1. FREE MAX B says:

        not the fat ones

  9. Michael Ib bett says:

    Eminem had a song as great and stadium sized as till I collapse on an album with 4 singles on it, and that wasn’t even one of them..shows how good that album was.

  10. Mr.Stealyogurl says:

    All this and Jay Z is still GOAT

    1. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

      We talking personal opinion or facts…cus I don’t think the numbers will back you on that…

      Basically emi em is responsible for every album he sold, fif sold, d12 sold and Obie sold all due to em laying the ground works and then riding a wave and Dre being the smartest behind the boards guy ever.

      Oh and proof realizing what talent truly was and allowing someone more talented than himself to get their shine first and trust the process…

      What Jay z got Beyoncé and s very mysterious history that really doesn’t prove that he is this man of ems caliber fuck em did all this while remaining human for the masses jay z did all his shit in hiding so his story kind of unbelievable!

      1. Selorm Amuzu says:

        Sales is a factor is not the factor as alot of ppl would say, if any thing ppl will say Jay beats Eminem in GOAT because Eminem’s successes are limited to the musical aspect whiles Jay’s success is limited to the culture in general

        1. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

          Yall Toss around that culture word like it’s actually saying something jay ain’t been about the culture in a minute he trying to sit next to the vultures of this said culture he trying to own a part of it and we all know you can’t own this culture you can’t really sale it either you can embrace it but it has to be done genuinely no motive other than uplifting the people…jay ain’t uplife me in some time I dvant afford no damn Tom ford I can’t afford the culture he is living

          1. Selorm Amuzu says:

            But everything Jay said or been involved in expensive or not has influenced alot of ppl with in Hip-Hop. More rappers wanna be like Jay more than Eminem before and after Eminem’s time and that’s a fact. 50 Cent wasn’t following Eminem’s blueprint, he followed Jay’s whether you like it or not and who did he sell the culture to btw ???

          2. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

            a lot of people WANNA be like jay cus they know it’s impossible and jay followed jay blueprint on how to become your own boss but fif trusted em and the machine behind him I ain’t saying nohing more but jay ain’t who most think he is…em is nothing to hide is all am saying

            People of this culture relate better to people they can identify themselevse with more and they simply admire those who they desire to become and not jay himself but his unknown mysterious amounts of money and power folks don’t even know the “facts only” but they are sold on be phrase!

      2. jussayin says:

        So you know Jay’s been doing this since the 80’s right? From Jaz O to Big L to Biggie …jay’s been with the illest to touch the game….Em has been fantastic for Rap…but Jays catalogue is unfuckwithable

        1. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

          Does not take away the point of my comment jay z is this image to us em has always been a person to us… That is all am saying sll these women who desire to be a like a kardasian is just like you fools trying to be like jay z or Kanye it just won’t ever be possible sorry bu anybody can be em that story is more authentic

          1. PREMERE says:

            Facts……

        2. PREMERE says:

          You forgot kane my g, jay used to roll with kane…..

      3. Mr.Stealyogurl says:

        Jay Z has a whole legacy full of artists and success and you only mentioned beyonce … Sounds like a eminem Stan so I’m ot gon argue with you, crazy

        1. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

          Stan though…clever wonder where that came from….am truly my looking for njbidys to agree with me just looking to have a debate without it getting to the name calling…

          lets not act childish ok!

    2. Greenbergs says:

      agreed, he put out two failures in the span of a year, one being the sequel to his best album imo…

    3. GRANDPA SHUTCHO MOUF says:

      Eminems better sorry to crush ur feelings

    4. Kevin Banks says:

      Nas is GOAT though, If I recall right Em sampled Nas on infinite and Jay Z sampled Nas on Dead Presidents

      1. jussayin says:

        And if I recall…every Rapper has sampled the Isley Brothers…does that mean Ronal Isley the illest MC in the game? nah..bruh…Nas is ill but he aint effin with Jay or Em in terms of legendary status…Nas ethered Jay on a song..but Jay ethered Nas at life

        1. Kevin Banks says:

          u sound stupid to me, only dumb dudes think Jay Z is a better rapper than nas because he sold more records.. its not even debatable to me, are there more Einsteins or are there more Homer Simpson’s in this world?

  11. Wayne says:

    Need new Em and Banks

  12. Newbie says:

    Can someone plz tell me what the song name is at the start ?

  13. MJeezy says:

    eminem is as hip hop as all the current “mainstream” rappers (put together) can get.

  14. SHADY STAN! says:

    G.O.A.T!!!

  15. Miss.S says:

    its crazy he has that Redman tee shirt on …. fuckin nuts in fact

  16. Jesus Ernesto Alejos says:

    wats up w/ eminems fuckin eyes

  17. Jesus Ernesto Alejos says:

    dam i was tearin up wen dey was talkin bout Proof

  18. Maurice ReBe' Bass says:

    They had a great historic run. . That was closure. Time to move on.

  19. Kevin Banks says:

    lmao these dudes are wearing make up

  20. jussayin says:

    As far as label success….Shady is a little weak …but MC power..its dope…Now if complex can do one on Rocafella…wooooh

  21. jsmooth says:
