Big Daddy Kane spoke to Family Matters actress-turned-podcast host Cherie Johnson for a recent episode of Cherie’s World where he was asked about Kobe Bryant’s recent death. Like many others, the Hip Hop legend was blindsided by the news.
“I was really in a state of shock, like, ‘Wow, this is unreal,'” BDK said. “This is a young brother and one of the greats. I’d probably have him in my Top 5.”
At this point, BDK had already been equated to the “Dr. J of Hip Hop.”
When asked who BDK thought was the Kobe Bryant of Hip Hop, he replied, “I don’t know. What’s the generation after J? I don’t know, would it be Eminem? Eminem.”
While speaking to HipHopDX, Kane expanded on his comment and threw a few other names in the ring.
“We’re in that era where people are going to believe what they want to believe because they just need something to debate about,” Kane told DX. “Dude said he feels I’m the Dr. J of Hip Hop and said JAY-Z is the Jordan of Hip Hop, so to ask me who was the Kobe of Hip Hop, basically what he meant was, of my era, I was that dude. And in the next era, Jordan was that dude so in the next era, Kobe was that dude.
“That era would be the era after JAY-Z, Nas, Biggie, Tupac, so that would be, I assume, Eminem, Jadakiss, Fabolous and Ludacris, maybe. So I guess those would be the elites you would consider the next Kobe ’cause that’s the next era. It would be one of them. I guess lyrically, my favorites would be Em, Jada and Fabolous. I don’t really know where he [the interviewer] was going with it — like are you saying as far as what I do? ‘Cause for me it was more than lyrical. So if you basing it just on lyrics, I would probably go with Em. If you’re basing it on the next Kane, then I would probably go with Fabolous.”
Statistically, Eminem and Bryant shined in their respective fields. Bryant played with the L.A. Lakers for 20 years and is widely considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time. He made 18 All-Star teams, was a first-round pick in the 1996 draft and won five NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVPs and was the league MVP in 2008.
Eminem, on the other hand, is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, the 8 Mile single “Lose Yourself,” “Recovery‘s Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna and 2010’s “Not Afraid” are all certified Diamond by the RIAA.
“Eminem is a major star,” Kane said. “Em and JAY-Z have achieved things that I have never came close to achieving in my life. They are both major stars in Hip Hop. And to top it off, they are both very lyrical. That’s where I was coming from.”
Bryant was killed on January 26 in a helicopter crash along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people. He was 41.
“It was a real shock,” he said. “Sometimes stuff like this happens that you feel is not supposed to happen. You never know nobody’s time but something like this and under those circumstances, it’s just tragedy. It really hit home.”
Kane is currently in Los Angeles working on a documentary called Paragraphs I Manifest, a nod to his 1988 hit “Ain’t No Half Steppin’.
“We are filming it now,” he revealed. “I’m in L.A. now to film on the 18th and after that, we may still have another two days of filming. It’s about me, but it’s really about lyrics. It’s called Paragraphs I Manifest. It’s basically talking about lyrics, the thought process, battle rap — it’s something I think will be real dope for people who are into Hip Hop.”
Em be that stinky trash bag that leaks in the alley. He definitely is the best rapper of all time, best selling of all time, and the GOAT, but he wigga hop so I can’t accept that. Drake is my boy. All mine. Cute smile, sexy vocals, and a nice buttocks. I love Canadian men. Anyways, Eminem is stinky trailer trash.
Wigga Hop is dead.. Jay Z, J Cole , LIL Wayne, Black Thought , Mos Def, Scarface, KRS 1, Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar , Andre 3000, .. no white boys on the list.. all these MEN are great rappers.. NO WIGGA HOPPERS ALLOWED..
That’s what I’m say Kaz. Other than the GOAT Eminem and the late great Yelawolf nobody white on the list. Wigga hoppers down in the stinky dumps.
Wigga hop is dead.. there’s the grave.. I’m pissing on it.. respect to Garth brooks.. for staying in his lane..
Hahahaha. All of those guys list Eminem as top 10 of all time. We’ve had this argument before and you lost. You’re too slow to have a debate with someone who is better informed and educated. BDK doesn’t agree with you. Mic drop. No response. Hahahahaha. Thanks for listing Hip-Hop legends that consider Em one of the best. Tool.
Tell em Lord Jamar. Preach it lol
I give respect where respect is due.. Djs worldwide play Em music after last call to clear the club.. the nasty , noises , nasal ravings of perverted dope fiend will there any club within seconds.. while pathetic less than loser white boys in trailer park mosh in shit holes across the rust belt.. clowns..they only paint their faces out of shame.. lames
Kaz all you black racists sound the same
Thanks for the compliment.. all you white boys should the same.. lame
He must have accidentally meant to say Drake is Kobe. My girlfriend be singing to those Drake autotune vocals all day every day. Who cares that no straight men like Drake? Plenty of girls and gay women to share the wealth. Drake has got the rap game by the throat.
No straight men like Drake. I’m a guy and I like him 😉 now what does that tell ya? Any guys on here that want to hang out, give me a holla! Better be a Drake fan too! We can sing his autotune songs together tonight in the bubble bath!
The 2000s era was the worst era in hiphop….None of the rappers from that time are the “kobe”. That was the era of commercial gimmick rappers (nelly, eminem, dmx, 50, ludacris, wayne etc) I don’t feel like ANY of those rappers carried on the legacy of the past generation the way Kobe did from MJ. The Kobe is probably someone from the 2010 era like Kendrick or J Cole.
That’s a joke. Cole is a phony, Kendrick is rapping beside migos with that fake woke bs. I get u don’t like 2000s, but dmx has much better classics than Kendrick or Cole. No, I’m not talking about his radio hits. His underground shits amazin. Same for 50. 50 is the best gangster rapper to live, and again, his best music is his non played music. Get rich or die tryin was great and all, but his best shit is basically unknown by the general population.
All those rappers are better than em.. potbellied white boys who wear dirty clothes and smoke crack love em.. as a black man .. I just don’t acknowledge that wack shit.. I don’t do drugs
So you think J Cole is better than Eminem? Umm, okay. You named DMX who arguably had the best first 4 years of any rapper, and two of the best southern rappers ever.
It would be, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Lil Wayne… one of them The game is close.
2010’s I would like to see Tech N9ne get some love. Drake is Lebron with out a doubt… but as em came strong again in 2010’s.. and he still doin it.. isnt he like the Vince Carter of hiphop??
Luda had bars. You trippin.
Check what u saying Lil homie! The state of Hip Hop back then was aight, u just a full blown hater by all means. Go eat your cereal with your moms naturally producing milk powder product, bitch
I’d never give that high of a praise to white man in hip hop. Black folks have never been allowed to succeed in other genres like Eminem Jason rap. I’m disappointed in Big Daddy Kane.
You are a racist loser and it makes you mad that not everybody is a crab in a bucket like you. Big Daddy Kane’s opinion certainly carries a lot more weight than a low life like you.
Yeah I agree. Black people aren’t allowed to succeed in other genres like country or rock and roll. Wait….
Yes. Black people have never been allowed to succeed in things invented by the white man, like: basketball, Football, baseball, cinema… Oh wait. LOL. You’re a racist idiot. Your knowledge of Hip-Hop is a toddler trying to understand astrophysics compared to BDK. Eat a bag of dicks, weirdo.
Good…fuck what you think. That’s why your name is Quincy Kerbo, and he is Big Daddy Kane. You can have your dumb ass opinion.
Retarded multicapped type momfucka… Fuck that race card you talk bout bitch, this the race of HIP HOP. U Lord Jamar nuts hugging ass brotherfucker
Eminem is poop pebbles stuck in the toilet. He’s no doubt the best rapper ever to walk to the earth, but he white so he stank. I understand he sold the most and considered the GOAT by basically every rapper, but man can you smell the stank from trailer park. I’d rather listen to Drake sing autotuned vocals that make my mommas vaginal moist. Once you go white, dat aint right! Naw im sayin?!
Drake be poppin out here! Was at a party two weeks ago in Toronto, all the girls were shakin they thaaaaaaangs to his hits. They had they boobies out and the minute that autotune kicked in you could see them nips spike up real nice right away! Drake got the rap game by the throat!
What has Drake got to do with BDKs top 5 type shit? You a fucking lame! Go eat his pussy and thumb his asshole
All of these morons on here just have to say I THINK MY OPINION ON MCING IS MORE VALID THAN BIG DADDY KANE’s. LOL. I also think I understand stars and space better than Neil DeGrasse. Hahahaha. Idiots.
It’s good to see Kaz on here being a weirdo racist answering his own posts with alternate names again. LOL. Probably a white kid from Canada.
It’s really interesting how a number of Hip Hop veterans like Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T, Kool G Rap, and even Taking have lavished praises on Eminem. Rakim even went as far as saying if Eminem was black, he’d’ve been labeled the greatest rapper ever. To those who feel hurt that Big Daddy Kane gave Eminem some of that critical acclaim sh*t, it’s because he knows it’s best to give a man his roses while he can smell them.
Props given when props is due and that’s coming from a Legend.. give a fuck who it is, if he spit game, mf spit game, period
So the CNN watching Hillary voting social media outrage mob attacked Big Daddy Kane for his comment and now he is backtracking?
Look BDK is a legend but if you talking Kobe’s of rap and you mentioning Fabulous and not Drake , Kendrick or Cole your nuts. Eminem is a great MC by any technical standards and deserves props. But Fabulous’ influence, skills and footprint is minuscule. If you put Fabulous’ catalogue up against say Drake’s features alone – he doesn’t even deserve an honourable mention. Plus 80% of the melodies your hearing today are heavily influenced by Drake’s popularity. And those who can actually dissect bars (very few of you so called Hiphop experts on here actually dissect bars and know how to tell double entendree vs a triple) it’s absurd statement to put Fabulous anywhere near Drake, Doom, Cole, Kendrick, Lil Wayne…get outta here. All opinions aside Kane is a legend but he’s off here
it’s Fabolous, you big dummy.
When white people who don’t understand rap say it’s about sales don’t know anything about influence rap has been gentrified.
So Big Daddy Kane is a white person who knows nothing about rap? LOL. That’s pretty funny. You’re a deadbeat racist loser. Hahahaha. When you’re in the line for welfare, or spending your mom’s food stamps, you’ll notice people of every color are there with you. Fortunately, some aren’t as ignorant.
You fumbled by mentioning Drake. The Mili Vanili lab rat. He will go down as the athlete that cheated and used steroids. Jackass.
if u still think drake cant write songs you’re blind and deaf.
Kane put Fab in a different era you moron. No one had any clue who Kendrick, Drake, or Cole were when Fab was making his biggest hits dressed in jerseys nonstop. Different era bro
Lord Jamar has left the chat…
A real list of greats consist of those who changed the game completely and stayed consistent on the charts for years.
So he’s the rapist of hiphop?
Accused by a woman with 2 different types of semen in her panties and later acquitted of all charges? Sure. Idiot.
2? try 8.
And that’s why Kobe had to settle it out of court and make a public apology? Yeah, sounds oh so innocent!
Lord Jamar big mad reading this! BIG MAD!! “Yeah your groups off the chain, but you’re the weakest link “
A lot of angry black boys emulating their crazy scorned mothers on this post. Bitter and mad at the world and acting like females cause they never had a father figure in their life. You can read em like a book. Kicking and screaming throwing hissy fits any time people don’t agree with their racist takes about white people. Not all black people are scumbags like you, you should get that through your head. Man up and stop behaving like a buffoon.
Interesting take, I think they are all white kids pretending to be black. Probably Canadians. I’m guessing they did an Ancestry DNA test and it came back 0.001% Kenyan so they are dropping NBombs and talking about the difficulties they face due to their skin color.
Its called Colin Kaepernic syndrome
Agreed.
Ok everybody that thinks Eminem is the greatest of all time. ? What was EM weakest songs and album? Answers please lol
My answer is more weak shit than dope shit.
Like most artists. Dummy.
Tupac had more dope shit than weak shit clown liol. So your off there stupid.
No. Pac has WAY too much shit released after his death. Most of his fans didn’t fuck with him when he was alive. I assume you’re one of them by your stupid ass arguments. I liked almost everything Pac and biggie out out WHILE ALIVE. Big had 2, Pac had only released 4 albums while alive. His first one is considered extra weak by his fans “2Pacalipse now”. It only went platinum after his death. Pac has 2 platinum albums at the time of his death. Only one album of his EVER was released at #1. Same with Big. Nice try poo butt. They are legends with legendary music. You should have used Big as an argument instead of pac. You still would have failed. Want to try again?
The numbers don’t equal the substance he put out. Off top people buy the album but once you listen the shit is not all that. U keep yelling numbers like that makes a classic. EM can’t fuck with Tupac too many levels. Tupac impact is far greater than EM. Tell EM don’t ever try to remix any Tupac tracks. That is was so weak sense you sleeping with him because that shit was super weak.he fucking up Tupac’s legacy. Now shut your goody ass up and go count EM numbers with no impact or substance. Your wading your time. Lol
Eminem has more dope shit than weak shit, clown. EVERY ALBUM debuted at #1. LOL. Jackass. The point of the article is BDK, like every legendary MC and most KNOWLEDGEABLE Hip-Hop fans consider Em top 10 (actually, most consider him top 5). We get it, you don’t like him. Cool. Any argument against him being top 10 is you saying you know more about Hip-Hop than BDK. Dummy.
I’m guessing you haven’t heard all of those wack ass shits they put out after he died. His duets with Kermit the frog etc. oh, and 2Pacalypse now sucked big donkey dicks. No one here called Em the GOAT. BDK says he is top 5. Get over it, dork. I think Em himself would say Pac was better. I personally thought Pac was a full of shit actor that got killed for talking too much shit instead of focusing on music. He also filled the penitentiary with his moronic followers. You weren’t even alive when Pac was, dummy. What does Pac have to do with BDK saying Em is too 5? LOL. Your life sucks because you can’t focus due to poor genetics and a low IQ.
Would ask Kane that dummy? No. So shut up.
lol sense your replying. Then you u name his weakest shit. Give me atleast 5 lol singles or albums. My point is he got more weak shit Than dope shit. Plus he could never be the GOAT because he never coined any new lingo. Like E-40 has a whole dictionary full of new words and game. I’m waiting or shut the fuck up lol clown ?
Let’s start this off with… It’s SINCE not SENSE. You should read and write at a 4th grade level before calling someone a clown. I’m a huge fan of E-40. He isn’t on anyone of importance’s (I.e. your dumb ass opinion) top 10 list. Only Bay Area dudes would put him up there. IMO his is one of the most underrated and talented, consistent rappers in the game. He is a West Coast Icon. Most NY dudes don’t fuck with him Though, they don’t get the Hyphy shit. Also, E-40 never released his dictionary of slang, you showed what a poo butt non fan of the dude you are by referencing it. His fans have been asking him about it since the early 2000’s. He announced it 20 years ago. As far as your ridiculous “weak album” argument, I consider the Wu the best Hip-Hop group of all time. Other than “Enter…”, their first album, all of their other albums sucked IMO, and in the opinion of most of their fans. There have been good tracks, no good solid albums. 40, as a whole, puts out one or two good tracks an album. Most artists do that. It makes it easier to release something good enough to keep fan’s attention for touring and merch. Most artists don’t make much money off of sales (streams), they make their money off of promo deals and shows/events/branding. To sum it up, you’re a moron. You know nothing about Hip-Hop or music as a whole. Em has had weak albums, like all artists have. That’s not the point. All of his albums debuted at #1, quality or not. His new album is his best work since his first 2, in pretty much everyone’s opinion. The point of the article is that BIG DADDY KANE names Em as one of the greatest ever. E-40 is not on his list BTW. So let’s sum it up… you didn’t understand the point of the article, you made some random stupid argument to counter a point no one made, and you read and write at the level of a 10 year old. Feel free to run your fingers under the words to not get lost. This is a lot for you to read, I’m sure. It took me roughly 2 minutes to type. Jackass.
funny shit! The fact of the matter is EM never created any new lingo words or fashion trends. Real shit! But e-40 has in the regards of creating new words. He keeps adding to the culture while EM is predictable and boring at this point lol. His rap peers say one thing but the streets is yelling he weak. Now shut your goody ass up. lol
Beat selection for his sings are trash lol
Do you speak English?
What ever. We all know drake is the michael jordan of hiphop. These guys can battle for second place. Drake has the rap game by the throat.
Drake is a ball licker! He got a hooker pregnant to prove he isn’t gay.
SSLP, MMLP, TEM, Recovery are dope af albums. Only weak albums Em has done are Encore and maybe Relapse
Relapse his best shit to me
He may have overdid the accents on Relapse, but some of the best highlights of his career are on there, like My Mom, Deja Vu, Same Song & Dance, and Stay Wide Awake.
Just talking lyrical abilities, the art of rhyming, the skill of it, Eminem is the ceiling. He’s not alone, Big Pun, Black Thought, Royce, Crooked, there’s a lot of them. But I don’t think you can possibly rhyme better than those dudes, whatever that last level is, they’re all there…
Ppl hate on EM soley bc hes white.. most black ppl in hiphop hate to let a great white man shine. Jealousy immediately comes 2 mind.
We don’t like m because he is nothing special. We love the beastie boys. Wack is wack no matter the color. The beastie boys sold just little more than run dmc, imo. Beastie boys loved and respected hip hop. M just study the art but doesn’t sound like it.
Hahahaha. You’re a moron. Every legendary MC has Em at top 5. Nerd. Go listen to drake dork. Your opinion is stupid. Like you are. We get it. You want attention saying shit that doesn’t make sense. Poor doofus.
EVERY artists has m in their top 5. You sound delusional. How do u know moron? Your a mind reader, right. Another pop fan with shady syndrome. He never had a CLASSIC HIP HOP ALBUM but is consider the best. Did u take your psych. Medicine yet? ALL GREAT HIP HOP ARTISTS have at least one great record. Some artists have multiple CLASSIC records like public emeny. Public enemy hates Elvis Presley because he stole from black artists and then went pop. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? If public enemy is not fond of Elvis Presley, why would they think m is a goat. M is a fraud like Elvis Presley. They sold watered down black music to pop fans. Elvis is the so called king of rock n roll. M is the so called king of rap. Will another fake white artists please stand up, please stand up
Who tf is “BIG DADDY”?!? Please fix headline y’all wouldn’t do this to pop smoke. Disrespectful.
Get back to basics momfucka… Bid Daddy Kane is legend and you’ll forever be a homo
Big daddy is wrong in my opinion. M stole from great hip hop artists then he went pop. M and his records are straight up wack. M couldn’t hang with HIP HOP so pop was his only option. Of course, m will sell alot because it is a mostly white country looking for another white hero. It is not based on talent.When m was hip hop, nobody though he was the best including the pop crowd. M watered down his music and now he is the so called grestest of all time. Most pop fans don’t know anything about great HIP HOP music. They think m is the best because he sells alot but prince and others sell less but are better artists. If m change back to HIP HOP, MOST pop fans would stop listening to the goat because most pop fans know nothing about HIP HOP MUSIC.
Are you really trying to call the MMLP and SSLP pop?
M is hardcore to his fans. Griselda is hardcore. They did not make m’s new album. M on Griselda’s album sounded out of place.
Bruh whitefolks will never get it this the same shit lil richard was talking about white people need a great white hype to make them feel good about themselves.
White people sure have organized a cool country to live in though, right? I’m guessing they’ll never get it in Africa or Latin America? LOL
White people invented most modern advancements for mankind. They are the largest populous of the greatest nation economically, culturally and military wise, in history. White people had the greatest empire spanning the globe, ever. They need what now to feel how? LOL. I’m a Latino BTW. You’re dumb as fuck.all these people hating on white films would literally suck a ton of dicks to get back to America if they were sent back to were their ancestors are from. If they survived long enough, which they wouldn’t.
Do you love your own people? What about great Spanish inventions?
Dude, keep changing your name and posting the same bullshit that is disproven over and over again. You’re wrong. Simple. You don’t agree with BDK, Rakim, Chuck D, Dre, Cube, Kool G Rap, All of Wu, Kendrick, Pharo Monch, Ice T, all of Bone, Tech Nine. Too many to list… YOU don’t agree with THEM? LOL. Nice to know where your opinion lies.
Ha! Ha! Somebody else is using my name. Big up to that dude! Black artists and people know how to play the white game. White people need another white hero like elvis Presley. E is so called goat of rock n roll. M and elvis copied from GREAT BLACK ARTISTS then when pop. This is a old tired story of white people stealing black music then appointing some white the king. M mentioned this on his first album. PLEASE KNOW YOUR HISTORY!
My history? LOL. You’re saying white peoples need ANOTHER HERO? Hahahahahaha. You’re hilarious. I’m a Latino BTW. What exactly is the “white game” people know how to play? Didn’t you just say that no one fucks with Em? When confronted by a list of rappers, lots of which don’t tour or put out new records, who consider him one of the greatest… you dodge that entirely? LOL. You’re delusional little kid. You’ve lost. It’s all good. BTW, you’re white as fuck. Cornball.
The MIGHTY WU TANG put out CLASSIC ALBUMS all the time. Shady has NONE! Shady will never appear on a wu record. Imo, wu is the best group in hip hop. The wu brothers would kill marshall. Why would we want a corn ball like m on another CLASSIC WU RECORD. In fact, marshall sounds wack on most hip hop tracks. Listen to m Griselda’s record that cameo was embarrassing. M stay with the pop crowd because HIP HOP doesn’t suit you.
Wrong. Hahahahahaha. Wu put out classic SOLO albums. Not as a group. Other than their first album, most Hip-Hop fans can’t name a single track off of any other of the Wu albums. Solo albums, all day. None of the Wu wanted to bring heat as a group, Rza would keep all of the money, him and his brother owned the IP. Several of their solo albums were as good, if not better, in many peoples opinion than the first Wu album. Ghost’s first and Rae’s first are thrown around. GZA as well. Every member of Wu names em as top 5 as well, by the way. LOL
Kool Herc was who invented Hip-Hop by mixing two records together. He used TURNTABLES and VINYL RECORDS. those were WHITE inventions. I’m guessing he culturally appropriated that? He stole from white artists? LOL. He used ELECTRICITY. Appropriated that from a white inventor/artist. LOL. You’re a childish moron. You’d get SMOKED debating anyone with a triple digit IQ. Hahahahaha
Nobody black person ever stole electricity and claim their were the best. Electricity is not a culture. Wheels of steel are not culture. Any fool can use turntables but it is not culture. I play around with turntables but i didn’t create a new culture. You are wrong. Nice try though!
You can label anything invented as a culture moron. You don’t think ELECTRICITY is part of western white culture? Hahahahaha. You’re the moron, idiot. I didn’t say ELECTRICITY was a culture. I said it was part of WHITE culture. Ie invented by a white man and used to further their race. HahahahahHaha. You’re SO stupid its amazing? Fashion is culture. T-shirts. Tennis shoes. Hahahahahaha. Invented by who? Hahahahaha. I’m a Latino by the way. You’re dumb as fuck. I’m dying here. Your argument is “the white man stole Black Culture by using hip hop.” Hahahaha. So stupid. Western medicine is definitely a cultural icon of THE WEST. Don’t use antibiotics or vaccines dummy! That’s appropriation. Hahahahahahaha
Dude your not Spanish. U love white people more than your own people it sounds like. U have issues.
Definition of Culture: the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. So yes, all of those things are culture. An invention that changes mankind forever would be an achievement, right little kid who can’t even spell GED, let alone get one?
Ok. Will take your opinion over BDK, Chuck D, Rakim, all of N.W.A. (That are alive), the Wu, Kendrick, Kool G, Jay Z, Nas… you know more about Hip-Hop than they do, right?
No i do not and you don’t either. M copied styles FROM GREAT BLACK ARTISTS and now he is the best. Lol. M doesn’t even rap with the best HIP HOP ARTISTS most of the time. When m did the song with griselda, he sounded out of place. Griselda didn’t make cut on m’s new album because he would sound retarded. Imo, Griselda is horrible music. M can’t even outshine them. Just imagine what REAL TALENTED ARTISTS WOULD DO TO SHADY. Shady will get outshined. Stay with the mostly wack artists so u look good.
So all of the NFL, NBA and MLB copies the styles of great white athletes, since whites invented the game and they weren’t allowed to play? LOL. You’re a racist idiot. We get it. You also have no taste. We get that as well. Hahahahaha. All of these legendary Mc’s, who are black, never accused him of stealing anyone’s style, BUT YOU SEE SOMETHING THEY DON’T, RIGHT? LOL. You can’t even defend your stupid rants or stay on topic, little kid. Em has done tracks with Jay-Z, Wayne, Kanye, Drake, Dr. Dre, Cube, Snoop, Xzibit, Busta… all of those guys suck, right? Hahahaha. Which “real talented artist” would do what to him. I bet any artist you list names him as one of the greatest. Loser poo butt. Hahahahaha. Hilarious. Hahahahaha. He said Griselda is talentless. Jay Z just signed them to a deal, Dre and Premier are making beats for them. HahahahA
So BDK, Chuck D, Rakim, all of N.W.A. (That are alive), the Wu, Kendrick, Kool G, Jay Z, Nas are pop and pop fans? LOL. Dummy. You know nothing of Hip-Hop.
Hip hop is so big now in widely accepted in every country and continent that it is all pop. Em don’t care about the amount of records he sold. You can think it’s because he’s white, for me it is because he’s great at his craft.
All em cares about is the respect. All the hip hop legends respect em and have Em as one of their favorites i.e: ice t, rakim, l l cool j, run dmc
Lets be real NOT ALL HIP HOP artists say he is the greatest. Here is the real scoop. Hip hop artists want the same pop fans too, BUT WILL NOT SELL OUT TO DO IT like m. Most sellouts are not respected like shady. HIP HOP ARTISTS know if they don’t say he is the goat that might hurt their own sales. In private, i bet they have a different opinion about m. M’s albums are weak. He never had a CLASSIC HIP HOP ALBUM but yet he is the best. Fuck pop music! I bet if you name 100 CLASSIC ALBUMS shady’s albums wouldn’t be mentioned. HIP HOP is about dope lyrics and beats. Rap is about selling records to the clueless pop crowd.
Lol! Here you go again Unknown. Which hip hop greats did Eminem steal from? I don’t know if you were even born in 1999 when Eminem blew up but I can assure you that nobody had his style at the time. And wtf are you talking about? If Eminem went back to hip hop. Lol! You obviously don’t know what hip hop is. You funny bro! But also sad. Put that Haterade down and maybe take a seminar or something so you know what you’re talking about next time.
Eminem is only mentioned BECAUSE he is white this is that Elvis Presley syndrome he is not even the best white rapper .lol
You know you just contradicted yourself right. If it’s only because he’s white the “better” white rappers would be even bigger than him.
Sure. 2nd place in the rap Olympic s then hand picked by DR. DRE! Lol. All of that was because he is white. Got it. LOL. Rakim says the exact opposite, that he isn’t considered the goat because he IS white. So you know more about Hip-Hop than Rakim AND BDK. You must be making tons of money in the music industry. More like no money working at an Arby’s.
Still plenty of people on here focused on skin color and not on technique. Very few people alive or dead can fuck with Em, pen wise. Regardless of race. The few who could wouldn’t risk it. Black Thought is the only one that comes to mind as far as actual bars, I.e. show up at the Wake Up show and spit. There is a reason Em is on EVERY legend’s top 10 list. Skin color isn’t the reason. I’m not a huge Em or Roots fan BTW.
Eminem fans I want you to notice what just happened. When people thought that Big daddy Kane was calling Eminem the greatest, he had to go back and clarify what he was saying. Hip hop fans knows that dude is a great rapper but when you start calling him the greatest….people be like hold up. Kane said that he look at Jay-z as Jordan(aka the greatest). Now some may think that Biggie is the best or Tupac but you ain’t going to get that wtf response that he got when he mentioned Eminem.
You should read the article, and listen to what he actually SAID! He never said Eminem was the GREATEST. He compared him to Kobe. No one in their right mind considers Kobe the greatest. It’s either Jordan or Lebron. Technically Lebron. Numbers don’t lie.
I didn’t say that Kane said he was the Greatest I said that people thought he was saying he was the greatest and asked for clarification which he gave. No one would ask for clarification if they initially thought he was saying jay-z was the best. I know Eminem is a top 10 rapper, I get tired of his fans saying he is the greatest….cause he’s not
My bad, that was for ya manz Correction
They would had he said Jay-Z, or anyone for that matter. People expect him to say KRS or Rakim. Dummy.
You, Sir, are a fucking idiot!!!! Lebron?? FOH!!!! Jordan, then Kobe
Michael Jordan and LeBron James are neck and neck at the top of many advanced stat measures in NBA history, but Jordan gets the nod because of his undefeated run in six NBA Finals appearances and his unmatched offensive production. THATS FROM STATS AMD CHAMPIONSHIPS, JACKASS. Kobe is no. 7 BTW.
You, Sir, are an idiot!!! Lebron??? FOH!!! Jordan, Kobe……..in that order
Wow. You’re a bit slow, huh? No one said WTF that actually paid attention to what he said. He (Kane) said he had been compared to Dr. J as far as the all time greats of basketball/Hip-Hop. I.E. top 5-10 of all time. When asked who he thought would be the Kobe of Hip-Hop, he answered Eminem due to the generation etc. he never said Eminem was the GOAT. He did, as did many other legendary MC’s, name Em as top 5 dead or Alive. Personally Em isn’t in my top 5, definitely top 10 though, undoubtedly. No one said “WTF.” You did. Jackass. Eminem has had every album released at number one. He has had EVERY legendary MC name him as top 10 of all time. What kind of moron would be shocked that BDK said this, when he has listed his top 5 before and M was on it? TRY TO TWIST IT HOWEVER YOU WANT, IT WONT WORK. LOL. Eminem is easily top 10 of all time. Maybe top 5, depending on who you ask. When Kane talks, YOU STFU. Poo butt.
I sound slow but you use words like “poo butt” in your response?…ok.
Yup. You’re slow. “Poo butt” would be a phrasal verb. Dummy. TOP DEFINITION
poo butt:
1. In L.A. gang culture slang, a wannabe.
2. In sports, an athlete who excelled as an amateur(high school, college, etc.), but when they turned professional, failed to live up to the expectations.
He should be exiled for comparing that trash to Kobe. Who the hell is Big Daddy Cane anyway, when’s the last time you hear a hit from him? Eminem wouldn’t even know who you are buds. We’re supposed to respect some has been nobody?
Hahahahaha. Hilarious. That’s like someone saying “who the hell is Mike Tyson Anyways?” What does he know about boxing? When’s the last time he had a belt?
You’re the fucking dumbass who responded to the most obvious troll comment ever lol… I mean, cmon… Did u really take that seriously?
And you’re the dumbass responding to the dumbass who responded. Loser. Let that soak in a minute. Dork.
…& you’re the little sissy who trolls black websites & who’s mother lease her pussy to the black community…who would then lease it back to your daddy lol. It’s how you were born…you’re welcome.
One loser keeps trying to post on here and change up his tune. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! You don’t have to like Em. It’s cool. The greatest MC’s of al time consider him top 5 dead or alive. Simple. Just sit down and look stupid already. LOL. The sky IS blue. Just accept it. You don’t control reality dummy.
Is this dude trying to say Em sexually assaults women?
Just your mom.
NEWSFLASH WHITE PEOPLE EMINEM IS NOT THE GREATEST ARTIST HE IS MARKETED WITH THAT BIG ASS INNERSCOPE MACHINE BEHIND HIM AND A BLACK MAN CO-SIGN. the end!!!!!!!! go check out some real artist that would lyrically shit on em like blu ,asheru, kool keith,rhymefest. and if you need a white savior go listen to BRAILLE. lmao
News flash Bd Kane is black and considered a great. He has that same opinion. Tell all those nobodies you mentioned to go get their shine box.
@joer
lol ”a black man agrees with me, so here’s my little validation” lol shut the fuck up.
Honestly I could give a fuck what Cain thinks…that’s his opinion. People are allowed to disagree. End of.
Big D Kane has the same opinion. As for your list . Tell those nobody’s to go get their fukn shine box.
Listening to asheru nah I don’t get how he would of been bigger then em. If he had all em backing . Flippidy flop flop
You can’t even spell or understand English correctly. LOL. All of those dudes ALSO consider Em top 5. SMH. It’s amazing how stupid you are. I’m shocked you can afford a smart phone.
No HIP HOP CLASSIC RECORDS but shady is the best. Lol! That is one helluva trick! Selling records doesn’t make you dope. BEATS and rhymes are a necessity in HIP HOP. Shady’s beats are subpar at best. In the pop world that doesn’t matter. Watered down BEATS + manic rhymes + mostly white country = another white fraud artists that is suppose to be the king of black music. I can cook watered down Italian food that most Italians DON’T like and still be the best Italian cook. I don’t think so. Italians cook their food the best not blacks. Chew on that!
SSLP and MMLP aren’t classics? LOL. Premier, KRS, Chuck D, Rakim and Kane disagree. You know more than they (we) do, right? LOL. Idiot
Chuck d hates Elvis Presley because he stole black music and was able to sell it whites before the black originators received credit. Blacks never got paid for it. If chuck d can’t stand elvis because he is a culture vulture then he must love m for doing the same thing, right. Fight the power is the song that chuck d disgraced elvis. Hi! My name is m and i jack black art too. M mentioned this on his first album.
Eminem has tons of trash music… With that said, his classic hits are some of the best in hiphop. You are taking his pop radio crap and pretending it’s why he’s considered a legend, which is false. That’s like saying 50 cent can’t spit by using songs like In Da Club to prove your point, when if u actually wanna hear 50 spit, u listen to his underground shit.
M HAS TONS OF TRASH!……YEAH GOAT STATUS, RIGHT.
Lmao
Fucking self hating ass black folk. EMINEM IS FARRRRR FROM THE BEST. HES A WHITE MAN MIMICKKKINNGGGGGGG HIPHOP.. HE PRAISES HIPHOP. BUT IM 35 AND WHEN SLIM SHADY DROPPED NOOOOOOONE THOUGHT HE WAS A LYRICIST!!! HE JUMPED ON JAY TRACK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT PRAISE. WHEN JAY THIRD VERSE BODIIEEDDD EMINEM. BLACK PPL WILL RALLY AND PRAISE THE WHITE MAN REGARDLESS IF HE WAS GOOD OR NOT. YALL DONT UNDERSTAND THAT BLACKS CLAIMING A WHITE MAN AS KING OF THE ART WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MADE……THATS JUST SOME SLAVERY SELF HATE SHIT
Hahahahahahaha. You’re a clown. “Craig.” The same corny white guy pretending to be black all thru this comment section. You’re a racist dumbass that can’t read or understand English. LOL. You were 14 when em dropped the album you’re talking about. Sit down, dumbass. Snoop said when that album came out it made EVERYONE step up their lyrics. Jay-Z said he had Em as the only feature on that album because he was the dope at rapper he had ever heard at that point. Jay also says EM bodied him on that track. LOL. Dummy
Wow you’re a retard lol… Nobody owns music. Its art. Doesn’t matter who the first was, if matters who does it best.
OK “Craig” LOL. Talking all that slave shit. I bet your boss is white, or his boss is. The cop who cuffed you and took you in was. The judge was. The teachers who tried to help you out in school that you ignored mostly were. The fat white bitch you got pregnant and abandoned. LOL. I also bet you have never been to Africa.
BORN AND RAISED IN PHILLY. THE EASTCOAST. WE MADE RAP. WE ARE THE BEST LYRICST! EMINEM IS NO RAP GENIUS LOL. YOU ALL ARE FROM WACK BUMMY CORNY PLACES WHERE RAP WASNT THE SHIT. EASTCOAST BITCH. GET ON OUR LEVEL OF BARS. PERIOD
Hahahaha. Philly invented a corny ass sandwich. Hip-Hop was invented in the Bronx, dumbass. The best rapper to come
Out of Philly is worse than garbage ass down south mumble rappers. Take a seat, moron. This article is about Kane. A legendary NEW YORK rapper. This dork said east coast. Hahahaha
Black thought is dope. Meek is straight garbage. They’ve got one. Cassidy sucks too.
The East Coast hasn’t had a relevant decent MC in 15 years. Period. Kendrick is shutting on ALL of y’all. Hahahahahaha. From philly saying you guys invented Hip-Hop. That’s like some dudes from Oregon saying they invented the bloods and crips and yelling West Coast. LOL. You’re a state over. Wannabe. Aren’t you motherfuckers Amish and shit? Hahahaha. Copying West Coast shit. Went from calling your street gangs Brims and Deceptacons to cosplay Crips and Bloods. Hahahahahahaha. Where is your hero SnitchNine at?
I don’t think you understand what the word coast means. It’s where a body of water meets the ocean. Hahahahaha. Philadelphia is land locked. Moron. It doesn’t border the ocean, like NY. It doesn’t have a coast. Hahahahahaha
Lol oh yeah… who is then? Philly hasn’t had ONE rapper better then Eminem…. ever. Why you embarrassing yourself?
Much respect to BDK but he is wrong on this 1. No way in hell Eminem is close to being the greatest!!!
He didn’t say Em was the greatest. Dummy. No way in hell? LOL. Did you see the list of MCs that have him at top 5? BDK and Rakim should be enough to shut anyone up. Anyone who has a brain…
The word for Eminem is “Namby Pamby”..#weak-other hip hop terms to describe him is #booty , #craftywack it just plain old shitty..Drake has dominated the charts 12 years straight.. is he the greatest??? NO.. but he’s very successful.. #2020ISTHEDEATHOFWIGGAHOP
I’m not a big EM fan but to not giving him credit for spitting is the most biased shit ever. The guy can rap rings around 98% of rappers now and gone. That’s just a simple fact. His beats are WACK that’s true but from an objective view point, he certainly is a top tier rapper. You can’t even argue that. Name 9 rappers that can out rap him. I’ll wait.
There are millions of rappers better than Em aka Beavis of the Buttheads fool.. the better question is : “ Name 2 rappers that he’s better than??? I would wait.. but it would take forever.. because a worst rapper doesn’t exist.. #carryon living a sad sad white lie.. y’all sound like little bitches.. trying put this cornball idiot into the pantheon of hip hop.. wigga hop was a brief sad , very much misguided moment in hip hop designed to get whites involved.. so they would feel like they were included.. nothing more.. you white boys need to get of the meth,heroine and crack.. and Em needs to get back on it.. dumb ass dope fiends
We get it. You never met your dad. Your mom is psychotic. You make less than 30K a year, and can barely read and write. LOL. YOU sound like a little bitch. It’s not societies fault that you are dumb and lazy. It’s genetics and your low IQ. LOL. Too stupid to realize you’ve lost an argument. Hahahahaha
@Hahahahaha…
we get it…your stinky shit-smelling crack addicted cock-sucker mother got gang-banged by big black dudes all throughout your dirty little pedophile-riddled childhood, you can’t get over the fact that your dad & your uncle are the same person, now you spend all day on the internet hating black people while pretending to be a ‘Hip-Hop fan’ projecting on websites stealing corny white-supremacist cliches. lol …
Hahahahaha…..
…..Hahahahaha
Jesus are all you guys on here 20 year old mumble rappers?! This is mind blowing to me the people that actually really think Eminem isn’t good. What do u idiots base your opinion off of? Oh and he’s also sold more then anyone so apparently people still like him. I’m sure I’ll get a bunch of Africans rooting for tashia nine or some retards that dont ryhme. That is the point by the way to ryhme and tell a story. Not to have gold teeth and mumble. Fucking idiots.
@Hahahahaha… we get it…your stinky shit-smelling crack addicted cock-sucker mother got gang-banged by big black dudes all throughout your dirty little pedophile-riddled childhood, you can’t get over the fact that your dad & your uncle are the same person, now you spend all day on the internet hating black people while pretending to be a ‘Hip-Hop fan’ projecting on websites stealing corny white-supremacist cliches. lol … Hahahahaha….. …..Hahahahaha
1.Diabolic
2.Apathy
3.Kool G Rap
4.Big Pun
5.Royce Da 5’9
6. Black Thought
7. Immortal Technique
8.RA Tha Rugged Man
9.K Rino
Out of those 9 maybe pun and Black Thought can. The rest are playing chicken on a scooter against an Abraham’s tank. Pun is dead by the way. He ain’t out rapping shit. He said diabolical and apathy. Hahahahahahaha
Diabolic ??????☺️???????????????????????????????????
Lol not one of them is better quit embarrassing yourself just cause you dont like him.
We’ve got a moron from Philly who thinks his. Itú invented Hip-Hop and that PA is on a coast, IE borders the ocean, and a white kid pretending to be black that disagree with Kane, KRS, Nas, JAY-Z Rakim and countless others. LOL. Just a recap here. The white kid doesn’t think electricity, sneakers, basketball, baseball and football all come from white culture. HAhahahaha. I’m done here.
He has no reason to clarify anything and anyone who doesnt like his opinion shouldn’t be bitching. Just disagree and move on. *looking at you Craig Nelson and the clown who says Eminem has no classic albums despite most legends acknowledging his greatness*
Everyone know Weezy is the Kobe Bryant of the Rap Game..
FOH with that. Wayne was never good.
Lol nobody mentions him or even thinks about him sorry.
A lot of angry black females on this post lmfaoooo
A lot of angry black females on this post LMFAOOOO bitter AF
@ The ABF Report …seems to be more angry white weirdos in here that can’t take eminems cock out of their struggling little tonsils lol. People are entitled to their opinions…so stop being whiny fuckin’ pussies & crying about every MF that happens to not like Esham…ooops I mean Eminem.
The almighty Kane actually had something good to say about Eminem? Lord Jamar won’t be happy about that lol
Opinions are opinions, Em a great lyricist that’s it, The greatest rappers are dead or retired or won’t get no AirPlay, just respect their opinions
Wu tang is not dead! The gza will crush m. Krs one is a hip hop god not goat. Krs one and others crushed fools on stage. In the golden era, rappers used to battle all the time. The best rappers went against the best rappers. Since m studied the best, m would get manhandled by the greats. Drake, lil wayne, migos, gucci mane and many others get murdered too. M ain’t beating no hip hop god. They laugh him off the stage in new york. M copied the best but he can’t fuck the originators. I don’t care that these artists are old so what. M is old too! Can you imagine m’s corny ass trying rhyme without the influence of the rap gods. They wrote book on mcing. M used cliff notes and sold that bullshit to the pop crowd. Stop dreaming kid.
You’re arguments are ridiculous and irrelevant. Hahahaha
Stop reading them if their ridiculous.
Slim shady LP and Marshall mathers LP are classics, you are an idiot.
The first album was terrible. I bought it in 1999 and lost it somewhere. If the album was banging, i would have bought it again. I’ve listen to alot of classics in 37 years and this album ain’t one. I listened to the 2nd album about 3 weeks ago and turned it off. His albums always lack beats. M can rhythms like a dictionary but he sounds corny. M doesn’t have any hip hop soul. Honestly, i will never consider m’s albums classic. I’ve heard hip hop classic albums from other white artists. I love HIP HOP CLASSIC RECORDS. I would buy shady if he had classic HIP HOP bangers, imo.
Wu tang is dead, dummy. None of them are putting out hot new shit. Ghost’s latest album had one good track on it. That last Wu album barely went gold. They are legends. They no longer make hot shit. Deal with it. You’re spoiled and live with your mom, we get it. Her co-sign on your fantasy world bullshit doesn’t alter reality. Dummy.
U god, masta killa, ghostface, czarface, ins, prodigal sun and mooncrickets all put out bangaz last time. Nobody beats the MIGHTY WU. GHOST’S RECORDS ARE FAR BETTER THAN shady’s shit. Lets go album by album to see who is the best ghost or shady.
Facts!
UNKOWN is an ass clown. There are interviews with KRS saying he would lose a battle to Em. Em is on the Mount Rushmore of Hip-Hop according to the greats. You don’t like him, cool. Saying he isn’t one of the top 10 or 5 is disagreeing with people who know TONS more about Hip-Hop than you do, and the actual top 10 Mc’s.
I know Shady beats everybody in the world but has no classic albums. Krs one has multiple classic records. Who is better? Krs one! Records sales do not make your album a classic hip hop album. I guess krs one is lying about m.
If you look at all of the sports websites that compile HARD DATA. Games played, championships won. Points. Assists. Steals. Points per game. Rebounds. Kobe is 6 or 7 on EVERY LIST. Jordan and Labron are 1 and 2 respectfully. Jordan has Labron beat on championships won and points per game. He loses out in almost every other category. Numbers don’t lie folks. Kane compared Em to the number 6 or 7 of all time. Stop crying already. He is Kane. You’re some dork. Shut up and sit down.
Redman, wu, jeru, gang starr, black moon, cannibal ox, tribe, de la, pe and other rap gods…. Do you think your records are better than shady’s album collection??…Shady’s fans say absolutely the top 5.
NO RAPPER WILL EVER SAY SHADY’S RECORDS ARE BETTER THAN THEIR OWN.. shady IS NOTHING SPECIAL PEOPLE. I’M STILL WAITING FOR A CLASSIC ALBUM FROM M.
Unknown is an old dread ripped offa Jamars head
Where are m’s classic HIP HOP RECORDS? He has none. CAN’T BE A GOAT WITH ONLY AVERAGE ALBUMS. FACTS ARE FACTS.
mmlp, maybe #2 as well, mm show, recovery
Maybe. Maybe not. Which one? Classics are no doubt. I guess not.
A bunch of ignorant hating delusional denying mfers in here
Pop music doesn’t make m a hip hop goat. U must actually do hip hop to be the best. Hip hop is the most high. Trap, country, mumble and pop rap are subpar bullshit. Talent is optional but never demanded for the most part. Any thing a pop fan hears on the radio must be the best. The best music in any genre doesn’t get to shine because they didn’t sell out for the pop audience.
Lets be real! A black m doesn’t sell millions of records. A black m isn’t a top 5 artists. A black m doesn’t get the same white support. A black m is just a failing hip hop artist. White m is a goat and top 5 artist and sells of millions. All the greats say he is the best. Hm? Ghostface drops a new record. Ghost says M your the greatest. BUT MY RECORD COLLECTION IS BETTER THAN YOURS shady.
So afraid your white hero is a fraud. Love to erase the truth. Just want ignore conversations to split the races. Right wing losers. White man’s stolen country is coming to an end. White women will leave guys like u for bigger dicks
