I could see if it was an adult or a late teenager who made the comment about Eminem "creating" hip hop,but it was a 5th grader. It is not like Em is a Vanilla Ice type of rapper,he has serious skills. I say let Eminem or whoever have hip hop it has become pathetic.

Eminem is a Pretty Good Rapper but not worth all of the Hype.but He is Legit&also Working with Dr.Dre.Eminem gets Props from Cats in the Game.I respect what He does because He saw a chance to do His thing.Rap itself has allowed itself to become watered down&also is Pop Culture as we speak so it's Fair game.

I believe "Ninja Rap" was from TMNT 2 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as not to confuse any of the masses looking for this record!

I beg to differ Em is one the most skilled rappers in the hip hop community today...He has absorbed the fundamentals inside out...he can freestyle like Kolby shoots ball and they both earned their dough dough...usually it is impossible for the B-Boy community to accept a white rapper but he is recognized and respected to the fullest...props to da boy...

One of the Most Skilled Rappers but Nas said He could take Him on a Battle&I Know He could.I still say that MC Search from 3rd bass was the Best White Rapper I've Ever Heard.Eminem is Pretty Good but there are Cats that Can match him.what about 2Pac Accepted in Both Communitys&also on the Big Screen.I Rest My Case.

Your right about Pac, but he's black, Pac will always be one of the best, agreed. Search is tha shit too...I think Em can beat him right now though...Right now he is at his prime but when Search was at his peak Em was probably still studying the game...As for anybody else that can beat Em right now...your probably right theres always somebody better...when I was young I never thought Tyson could be beat but now I have accepted the fact that he can...I didn't like Em when i heard his first single but over the last few years and albums IMHO I have seen him kick some lyrical ass...having Dre behind you helps too!!! No cases to rest for me I always like your opinion wether I agree or not...but I am just a master debater...wink

These hip hop execs talking about trying to "combat" the Eminem factor are already too late. Rap/hip hop has been co-oped by pop. It's only a matter of time before Kid Rock hits with a country music rap.

Now you came fully that time&I Liked how you brought it because you followed the same Acts as myself&Came to a Cool Conclusion.Eminem I Do Respect&after a while when a Artist has been around for a Few Years you notice especially in Rap that no matter what is being Said you don't last for a while in such a Cookie Cutter&Cut throat Industry such as that one&Not have the Goods IMHO.I dig Debating as well I just don't dig folks who want to Push your Buttons all the time.but I dig what you said.He is a Catchy Cat&He does Balance Dre.

they both sure made a grip last year alone and now they got 50cent under there wings...some say 50 is the next Pac not for skills but because he has a price on his head...I saw a special on him saying his Jeep Cherokee is bomb proof and bullet proof ...ain't that some shit?...didn't know you dig hip hop until today...iz all gravy peace to ya...

Benzino and his cronies are just a bunch of talentless haters. Eminem ripped him on those battle tracks. F those guys.

I think Benzino made some valid points but as a Artist He is to Wack to take on Eminem or anybody Legit for that matter IMHO.Right Message in points but wrong Messenger who don't have the flow to cash a battle.
