Light-skinned Jermaine tells ABC News that he’s in the zone like the homie 2-3.
“LeBron does everything. He can shoot, he can pass, he can handle the ball, he gets rebounds … That’s how I feel, whether its lyrics, or flow or beats. I just feel like I’m a renaissance man, like I’m revolutionizing the game. There’s been people who’ve rapped and produced—like Kanye—but I don’t feel like on the rapping side there’s ever been a producer who can rap as good as I think I can rap.”
Does Eminem count?
Props: NR
Question…now although em is my favorite rapper…did em always make his own beats? or did he start when dre. put him own…cuz i coulda swornnnnnnnn d12 and dem did those beats on “Infinite” and the “Slim Shady EP” (NOT THE LP…..even tho i think he had no beats on that either…so if these are not true…then on a technicalty that he sorta started make beats lader in his career…em don’t count…but if he has…then excuse me for being wrong…and absolutely he does…but some of u guys tell me what u think? O btw J. Cole is theeee shitttt lol…
one thing i hate about rappers is when they toot they’re own horn…dude let the people decide that your better than kanye lyrically because your beats arent…the mickey factz kid did this sort of thing a last year and has since disappeared. one thing i liked about cole is that he is humble lets try to stay like that. Put out an album and we’ll start the kanye comparisons then
@ Taron Holder : well, Em did make “Renegade” on BP1 (sample free) and “Carry The Cross” on Nas’ God Son.
@yum: i see where ur coming from, but Cole is dope. aint nothing wrong with biggin urself up a lil. Kanye maybe a shmuck, but his beats are the shit.
Shout out to my dude J. Cole. Speak ya mind b.
j cole better than Em? nah sorry lol
@bdot na i’m def into cole’s music and i think he’s dope but still in all i think you gotta know your boundaries especially this early on bcuz something like this can be taken as arrogance and will be by some. Your goal at this point is to earn as many fan’s as you can based soley upon your music. And one last thing kanye verse on run this town > jcoles on star is born but hey thats just my opinion.
@everyone
eminems beats are wack…he’s had a few but overall his shit is weak
Yum = what have you ever done with your life that affected millions in a positive or negative way? Either way you look at it, you are sitting here talking about Eminem, and he is chilling not even knowing your name. Weak, or strong beats, you can never touch him and your hatin, only fuels him to be better. So you are actually doing him a favor spitting stupid retarded words.

@ yum
“eminems beats are wack…he’s had a few but overall his shit is weak”
lol whatt..? Lose Yourself, Moment of clarity, I’m supposed to Die Tonight, Renegade, Till the End, No Apologies, The Way I Am, Patiently Waiting, 8 Mile, You Don’t Know blah blahhh
he right up there with Havoc imo
Str8 up, J. Cole is the shit. In my opinion, he’s the hottest new cat out because he CAN make beats and he CAN rap and he IS humble and he talks about REAL shit. My order of the new cats would be:
J. Cole
Wale
Drake
Kid Cudi
Whiz Khalifa
Big Sean
B.o.B
Pill
I’ve seen Drake, Wale, and Big Sean in concert and they all put on good shows. But back to the subject, seriously, besides Kanye, there really isn’t a better rapper/producer out there next to J. Cole. Eminem doesn’t count because he’s a rapper first, then a producer. He started makin beats after he conquered rap to add to his arsenal. Cole is a promising artist he needs to get more shine. We’ll see if gets on that “Top 10 Freshmen of Hip Hop 2010” cover next month. Both his mixtapes were fire.
eminem makes war beats
