N.O.R.E. shared his opinion on whether Eminem is the king of Hip Hop in a recent VladTV interview.

The Lefrak City – emcee believes “Eminem is a king in his own right.”

“He has changed Hip Hop,” N.O.R.E. says. “He was the first white guy that was like, I’m white.”

Em is also on the same level as Nas and the greats, according to Noreaga. But N.O.R.E. says Eminem’s image is more comparable to the late O.D.B.

“I bought more Jay Z albums than Eminem albums but that’s my preference,” N.O.R.E. says later in the interview. “Eminem is our Elvis and I think we should claim that…Dr. Dre is a genius for having the foresight for that. Jimmy Iovine is a genius for having the foresight for that.”
