Eminem Vs. Lord Jamar: Is Street Credibility Necessary To Be Considered The Goat? | The Breakdown
ADVERTISEMENT
If we talking about street cred then Biggie and Nas can’t be GOATS!!
Biggie rhymed about a 2 Bedroom shack, and his mum came out at his height of fame to debunk that. Big was the rich kid who had street friends…
Nas is well known to not have lived that life just documented it, same can be said about Cube. But they are GOATS… also let’s not let hood niggaz speak for the rest of us…they ain’t the brightest bunch and their life/ world is round the corner, down the street, where the drug dealers and prostitutes meet (that’s a Jay lyric) anyway what I’m saying is their world is small and simple mnded, and if a rapper ain’t rapping that bang bang shoot em up shit, these simpletons can’t relate….SMH….also if Em came out rapping that gangster shit…he would be just another rapper that would have ahead a 2-3 buzz….
Anyway so called
Hood niggaz don’t speak for me!!
Anyone who is willing to sell poison to their own people, shoot their own people but run from the police?? Ain’t gangster to me….STOP IT……
The argument stoopid. It's like saying white jazz musicians are irrelevant.
Clearly Royce Da 59, Proof and D12, Obie Trice and 50 Cent all love and respect Eminem, not to mention Dre must have recognized his talent at the time.
Everyone knows what it is, it's a bitter old has been being a racist towards someone who he is threatened by, ignorance leads to fear-fear leads to hate
I think I'll take the opinion of someone like Rakim or Jay-Z over Lord Jamar's
8:38 Which song is that?
Lj basically said its because hes white danm i hate people in generall why we gotta be racially divide in the world
Is street credibility necessary to be the GOAT?
Honestly, it's very yes and no and is very subjective nowadays.
Because the streets don't value MC's like they used to, for example nowadays, look at what the streets now considers cool and is subjected to.
All these dumb whack mumble rappers and rappers that glorify taking drugs and overdosing and being "more hood."
When back in the 80's and 90's, rappers were all about selling drugs, hustling and grinding, and getting out of the hood and bettering yourself.
It's like the hood and culture of Hip Hop did a complete 180 on itself.
So the street's value of an MC and the overall culture has greatly diminished over the years and have their priorities fucking backwards.
So to that degree I say no
But to the core and the roots of the origins of Hip Hop where it all began, the hood and the streets(whatever you wanna call it) has to have respect for you and can't just be 100% whack in their regards.
And Eminem is respected in the hood/streets as an MC and his lyrical ability. They not be bumping without me and my name is on rotation, but he has respect in the streets/hood. Even MC's like big daddy kane, rakim, nas, kool g rap all respect Em for his abilities.
Which are all MC's the hood considers their GOAT's.
So overall Lord Jamar's point is all over the place and is a bit hypocritical and mostly a race issue with how he addresses it.
Eminem is definitely a GOAT when it comes to his lyrical and technical ability, that's now not even up for debate. He's solidified as a top 10 MC as far as technical and lyrical ability goes.
Purely about his colour.
I’m A Dj IAN NEVER PLAYED NOT ONE EMINEM SONG EVER
The world knows em who the fuck is lord j
Jamar would love Em if he was black
If you want to be in the top 5
You have to have a
Good lyrical abilities
Good flow
Song with meaning
Good beats
Disregard his ass.
FACTS!!!
If Eminem is a guest in the house of hip hop, Lord Jamar is the homeless bum down the street
Em's music is being played in France,Africa and the ?. Does he need street cred at this point.
I'm from India, I didn't know any Jamar, Budden, Charlamagne or Vlad TV until they started this nonsense about Eminem….
Im from India, we are mostly brown. Here, everyone loves Eminem. We aren't native English speakers but still, Eminem has a huge fanbase here even more than our local artists lol. And btw who the fuck is Lord jamar??
He hate white.. he rasicm and i dont know who are jamar is until internet intro him in my phone.. i click it because of eminem.. he is real top stan.. i love hater.. will not understand of this shit forever only they have same sxxt.. em took forever for sure..
150 dollars? Man i got more than one line in my head of lord jamar, and im a 19 yo boy from portugal.
I love you em ❤️…. greatest of all time ??
Eminem is not the goat. You can be mad all y’all want. He is a guest.
Em songs goes above their heads
Em grew up poorer than most rappers talking that gangster shit ??♂️??
I know jamal cuz he talkin shit bout em too
I know I'm late but Charlemagne just argued that Em (specifically) couldn't be a GOAT because he wasn't played in the clubs. By that logic, several rappers are cut out of the conversation. Too commercial? Not commercial enough? Too street or not street enough? I guess it depends on who you're talking about. Some can do no wrong while some can do nothing right.
Man i subscribeb your channel just coz you dissed him better than Eminem ??
That's a lot of stans and nerds listen to the white boy more than "normal" people listen to other artists
Googled lord Jamar. Google said who the fuck is that? You mean jafar? From aladin? I said jafar from having any songs anybody's ever heard too
Favorite rapper no.1= 2pac
Favorite rapper no.2= M&M
Favorite rapper no.3= Lil Wayne
The tribe had street credit as a whole, lord jamar has never been a solo artist and has no street credit of his own!! He hates because he wish he was as great as em.
Riddle me this Batman, can these guys say who the first guys were to make the FIRST rap song without looking at google? Or what it's about? Maybe quote some lines?
The Sugarhill Gang did "Rapper's Delight" in the 1970's. It was about introducing themselves and just talking about what they know. Like having bad food at a friends house and the different colors of people who they need to introduce their music to. Lol Black men may have done it first, but even in the FIRST SONG they talk about the colors of listeners. So everyone can shut up about color in the game. Color being an issue that would keep ANYONE from being the top of anything, IS RACIST.
Eminem is the king … Eminem Lyricist are outrageous…he can kill any one with a bar lmfao …dude you ain't no Lord…there is only one of them bum
Eminem is in the Top 5 due to his lyricism.
1.NOBODY CAN SPEAK FOR HIP HOP
2.U SPEAK FOR UR SELF
3.U BELIEVE EM IS GOD(UR OPINION NOT HIP HOPS)
4. U THINK 2PAC IS GOD EM IS KING(AGAIN UR OPINION)
5.EM IS GREAT (UR OPINION)
6.EM IS GOOD(UR OPINION)
5.EM IS TRASH(EVEN THOUGH ITS UR OPINION ITS WRONG)
DONT FORCE ANYONE TO HAVE THE SAME RAPPER AT TOP IN HIS LIST AS SAME AS URS
WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS
WE SPEAK FOR OURSELVES NOT FOR HIP HOP AND LORD JAMAR IS NOT GIVING OPINION HE IS TALKING TRASH
AND GUESS WHAT IN MY OPINION
EM IS GOD
Man… the Breakdown is not the same with Page. lol But I’ll be damned if I wasn’t entertained lol
Bruh, Grandmaster caz is one of the originators, he puts Eminem on his list
Incredible breakdown. Thorough and entertaining. Loved it!
Agreed. I don't know who tf is Lord Jamar. Or even his one hits song.
Em's song wasn't for people in the streets or pubs. its for rapper.
Em is a rapper for rapper
