Younger rappers aren’t ones to mince their words when it comes to giving their opinion on certain artists, which could anger the older generation and cause them to go viral. It’s a cycle the culture has seen in the past with rappers such as Lil Xan and Lil Yachty finding themselves in the crosshairs. Emerging rapper 2KBABY took to Twitter on Thursday (November 19) to assert his belief Jack Harlow was the better rapper than Hip Hop deity Eminem.
“No disrespect, but Jack Harlow better then Eminem,” he began. “Or did I hit this backwood to hard!”
He continued to double-down on his bold claim, “People always disrespecting 2pac I say something bout Eminem erbody get tight YES JACK HARLOW BETTER!!”
2KBABY and Jack Harlow are from the same hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, so it’s no wonder he’s a big supporter. Eminem fans eventually got wind of 2KBABY’s tweets and flocked to his mentions to bring up Em’s decorated laundry list of accolades.
“15 Grammys, 220 Million records sold, 242.9 million gross on 8 Mile, Won an Oscar, 10 number 1 albums, Sold out stadium tours, signed 50 cent so add those accolades,” one Twitter user chimed in. “Harlow nice but he doesn’t exist without Em. But you’d have to be over 30 to know that.”
Obviously, Harlow has a long way to go to catch Eminem in the accolade department, but 2KBABY holds his fellow Louisville native in high regard already.

After breaking out in 2019 with tracks such as “Old Streets,” 2KBABY returned to release his Pregame Rituals project in April.
Is he stupid? People lose their shit when you talk about pac, meanwhile em has been a punching bag for new and old rappers alike for the past two years. Doesnt matter if you like eminem or not but shitting on eminem is not a hot take…
Accolades aren’t everything and I’ve got nothing against people having an opinion and giving credit. But he only mentioned Eminem for attention which is extremely played out and corny at this point. And in my opinion, 2pac and Eminem are on another and to both of them.
Eminem stans finna get their thumbs in a jumble, lol! Homie better watch out!
Mad props to your handle name. WuTang
is this dude on ACID or something ? so delusional. Jack Harlow is cool and has a lotta potential. I hope his team will help him take it to the next level. BUT he’s not better than Em.
Ah a classic move. Trying to gain fame by being the guy to talk shit about Em. Didn’t work out too well for MGK.
He did gain fame but his rap career fell, he’s great pop punk artist though
Yea gotta hand it to mgk for the comeback, but you also gotta recognize how eminem sonned the shit out of him.
this is beautiful and facts. eminem is trash only accepted because majority of the people who buy albums and are glued into the rap culture are white
Bitch u dumb then a mfer.
He has respect from nas jayz rakim ll cool j and red man so….
Yeah you absolutely missed with this shit, you dumb as hell.
You must be outta ur mind… U hittin the same L as 2kbaby….
You’re entitled to your stupid opinion lol… There’s plenty of rappers I don’t like but wouldn’t be as ignorant to say that they’re trash when they’re clearly not. People have different tastes, that’s fair enough but don’t talk stupid lol…
that blunt musta been hittin harder than mike tyson
Wtf was in that backwood….crack?
Maybe in a decade we can put Harlow in same category with em pac big bad jay rakin. But he is in the category with polo or lil tjay. Good but not close to being goat. I believe he could be but it’s way way to early to put him there.
Man he’s reaching I’m not a big Shady fan, but I don’t know to each his own. Harlow is dope can’t front on that!
I call BS. Plus who cares what this dude thinks. How bout come up with an original rap name???
its 2020…90% of rappers are better than current Eminem lol “lookatwhatimplanninn”
90% of rappers aren’t even rappers and couldn’t make it through 20 seconds of godzilla.
How do you claim to be a hip hop head and say that lmao? I’m no Stan but 98% of current artist involved with hip hop arent worth listening to. Especially from Detroit, there are no decent rappers. I know you will name drop some crumbs but they are still crumbs. No relevance and will fade away through drugs or because of lack of talent.
*CRACKWOOD
This dude is a nobody who wants attention…. Everyone knows Jack is no where near Eminem.. Will never be near Eminem this is the only time his name will be said in the same sentence as Eminem so suck a duck dude…
How the hell you gon chase clout by throwing in two other people to try and down one man. Lil dude must be going irrelevant real fast to involve all these people just to remind everyone he still exist.
Why is this even an article?
He did Harlow no favors. Instead of just saying Harlow is a nice MC that people should check out he threw him in the deep end by stacking him against an all time great. Let Harlow be compared to Harlow.
I just can’t wait for M’ to use this 2K baby in his bars. need my jaw dropped. But think rappers now just risking their career on bold statements not professional really, think M’ already said this in his bars using his name to just get traction never even heard of 2kbabies anywhere.
Better “then”? People are still confused about “than” and “then”, wow. 2020 is one fucked up year.
I know everyone is entitled to their opinions and what not. But this is one of the few instances i feel someone needs to get a beatdown for their dumb opinion. This youngins nowadays just wanna sound polarizing for the fun of it. Who listens to these morons anyways? These dudes can’t even spend 5mins to make sure their lyrics sound right, and they’ve got the nerve to talk trash about a lyricist. Thank God i don’t know non of this new cats.
I mean, Jack Harlow has a single hit. How about we wait a bit to make these claims. Technically we know he’s not better… Yet (he could become an insane lyricist, but as of now, from what he’s shown, he’s not.)
I’ve never heard of 2KBaby or Jack Harlow. Just sayin’.
