    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.

  42. @Eminem says:

    Why Does You Lip Sync All The Time…….

  43. 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.

  44. Argenys says:

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

  45. MxPredator says:

    @Nushay
    Lol surprisingly yes

  46. MxPredator says:

    @Nushay
    On the Hip-Hop Charts tho

  47. 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.

  48. many24 says:

    Dude is the shit!!!! Cant be touched!!

  49. PITRI says:

    Is he gona perform in the one at san fran to??

  50. Nathaniel says:

    @Billy Rae Valentine

    much appreciated my nigga. indeed…. that’s just the way the cookie crumbles eh? lol the em fans are vicious. but its all good, like i said he’s still undoubtedly a monster. no disputing that. and yo you pretty much laid it out. that’s exactly what’s going on. only reason i don’t care for it, personally, is because… well… this is hip hop. master of ceremony, it’s just cheesy to me. i live in atlanta and i see these wack ass niggas doing it all the time. if em is gon use the hypeman (which is dope when used properly) then cut that vocal track shit off and do it raw, LIVE.

    maybe i would give em a pass, but i’ve seen Lupe in concert twice and that nigga runs, flips, jumps up and down, and completely loses himself on stage AND STILL raps all his lyrics with zero playback. (and we all kno thats a wordy muhfucka lol) so no passes for em. that’s why i said if he’s runnin 7mi daily lik he says he otta be beastin on stage.

  51. @ nathaniel

    haha i was absolutely gonna contrast Em with Lupe for the exact same reason. Lupe is incredible. one of the best rap acts i’ve ever seen. he’s the most hyper motherfucker on stage; constantly running and moving in like rehearsed steps. and raps all the words with no vocal track to help him.

    i saw bubba sparxxx (sp?) once and he had a track doing every single word for him. 🙁 pathetic. when lupe first started i saw him and he would forget the words several times during a show. that was b4 he really even blew up, like pre-food and liquor. but now he’s got it down and i forgave him 4 the mistakes, anyway. lyricism is tough.

    i’d like to add that rapradar is definitely a pro-Em site. other sites aren’t so fanatical. but elliott wilson and aftermath, 50 and Em, they been on the same team for a long time. so coming here u mite as well go to thisis50 for all the bias you find with the site admin and the fans. but it’s all good.

  52. shayden says:

    Ok Ive had to post this several times on different posts when people accuse Em of lip syncing. You dont realize that Em doubles his voice up n all his tracks an when he is live he mutes the main track and has the backup playing. Em sounds exactly the same as his masters n his albums. So when you think he is lip syncin its cuz he sounds the same. Now yes he doesnt always finishes his lines, he lets his hypeman do it cz thats jus how he is. He has always been like that and no its not to catch his breath he has alot of stamina duhhh jus listen to his verses. So no Em dont lip sync and you can clearly hear his voice rappin n despicable performance

  53. Argenys says:

    @shayden these dudes don’t comprehend that he actually sounds the same live as recorded at least very very close. Eminem is one of the few people that can actually do this. But people hate because he sounds too good… lol

  54. KJ says:

    He layers his vocals three times…

  55. ~~` says:

    Em Set to sell about $615k in first week. Deserves to sell about $950k. fuck internet pirates

  56. shayden says:

    OK THIS IS TO ALL THE HATERZ SAYIN EM CANT PERFORM LIVE AND LIP SYNCS I JUS WATCHED HIM PERFORM ON DAVID LETTERMAN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BACK UP TRACK AND ONLY LIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HE SOUNDED AS FIRE AS HE DOES ON THE ALBUM SO SUCK IT!!!!!
