Eminem On The Cover Of XXL & Speaks On T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip Hop
On T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip-Hop
“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any name, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”
- Eminem
It’s looking like it’s going to be a good year for Hip Hop.

DJ Drama just jealous because his broke ass be gettin sued because he stealin people’s money. Yes stealing! How would you like someone to take something you did twist it and put it together different and make money off it? Thats right you wouldnt. Get a betta job scrub. DJ Drama is a fake ass DJ make your own shit instead of stealin other ppl’s greatness.

dude boosie got some bangers for da car system but idk about pickin him out of random, young jeezy is garbage his rhymes are nursery and he’s irritatin wit his raspy ass voice, t-pain isnt in the discussion for top rappers he more RnB, Gucci Mayne wtf he super garbage, The reason ross is criticised for his personal life is that alot of what he talks about in his music was him bein a millionaire off of cocaine n watnot, how could u believe anythin he says in his “mafia” music if he was a cop come on man. As for eminem u rite he need to work wit different people < except Dre

you think because your on this website that you guys know hip hop. some of you dumb cunts can become another drone in weezy’s army of 15-16 year old girls. but to put wayne ahead of DMX is strait up ridiculous. Look at the work on substance of The Great Depression vs. The Carter ____ (fill in the blank as you please, it doesnt matter) or any other mixtape he has released still doesnt touch dmx’s work in hip hop. wayne is whack, and its wannabe hiphop fanatics that keep him afloat when he would otherwise drown in the world of rap. Whats next? Soulja boy > Nas…idiots

I think now in today’s music society, Em won’t be quite receptive to those who have conformed to whatz bein’ played on the radio. Em is a mainstream artist with an underground flow. I remember back in the days when he fucked wit’ the Rawkus record label and Mighty Mi and Eon. Those were the days. Backpackers or underground artists are so talented but will never have their time to shine or show irrelevant artists what hip-hop music is suppose to sound like or make someone feel. A lot of the youth today really can’t understand what the golden era of hip-hop was unless you’re really into music. And truth be, itz not jus’ this genre of music, but evolution has taken itz toll on today’s music. But hai, if you’re like me, my parents were very much against the music I listened to also. Remember NWA, Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Masta Ace, Tupac, Naughty By Nature, the first Oukast album, Spice 1, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Diamond D, Jeru Tha Damaja, Smooth The Hustla, Nas, Dialated Peoples, The Pharcyde, E-40..etc? Those were the days and if you’ve seen 8 mile, you can hear the music that was a big influence on Em and other artists.
