SilvaBack well lyrically Eminem is better than all of those guys (in comparison to black thought)and Royce 5’9, nas. Those are the only worthy opponents. Just because he’s white you don’t have to act like he’s a “guest” in hip hop. Man is worldwide KNOWN as the greatest rapper and only black people in America disagree with that(I’m mixed in case that matters). Eminem dominated sales, and if you break down his bars he dominated lyrically. Stop sleeping fool. The white boi has been running shit since the 90s.

His stage stage game separates him from everyone else. He's been performing for live from the corners of philly to concerts for over 30 years.
