So 2024 has seen a resurgence of diss tracks in hip hop and in music in general and I think this is the perfect time for Eminem to enhance his resume as a battle rapper.

Here’s the thing: Em, while the king of diss tracks, has had subpar competitors. Like his most popular disses have been against pop stars and terrible rappers. I feel like now is the perfect time for Em to prove that he can battle WITH someone on his level and even show that he’s not afraid to lose or a bit competitive sparring match. Here’s some rappers I think could go toe-to-toe and/or make an interesting battle:

- Lupe Fiasco - He had called out Em in the past and while I haven’t heard too much of him, I have heard he was a phenomenal lyricist.

- The Game - I think a Game vs. Eminem battle would be a very interesting and exciting battle especially in a time like this. Like him or hate him, the Game’s a very good rapper and has some of the best diss tracks

- Drake - Drake when he wants to is a fucking battle rapper at heart. He’s never backed down from a challenge and would be a worthy opponent

Because I predict that someone is going to call out Eminem. Either in a diss track or a interview or whatever and they want smoke. Because let me tell you, people are HUNGRY in the game rn.

I don't got a problem with swears normally but this time I wanna listen to hiphop that's not furious and swearing and just got a chill vibe in general, for ex: PM Dawn - set adrift on a memory bliss, Common - Be.

I was listening to Frankenstein with ASAP Rocky in it, and once that beat drops and he starts rapping he is ABSOLUTELY cooking on a great beat, then just as he starts it’s over and there’s another beat switch. I feel the song loses all its momentum there. I wish that first section was longer. It’s such a filthy beat-

2pac - who do you believe in / deadly combination

biggie - my downfall / spit your game

soulja slim - love me or love me not / never know w/BG

mac dre - ride to it / not my job

XXXtentation - sad!

juicewrld - burn

nipsey - rap ns / keys 2 the city

pop smoke - paranoia

eazy-e - BNK / boyz n da hood

big pun - off wit his head / still not a playa

big l - doo wop my ns freestyle

lord infamous - where is the bud

dmx - slippin / stop being greedy

mac miller - insomniac

ODB - synthetic substitution

children of the corn members - american dream

prodigy - burn / hell on earth ..too many classics to name

guru - all 4 tha cash / rite where you stand ..too many to name

camouflage - camouflage and murder

takeoff - i get the bag

jam master jay - Jam-Master Jay

pimp c - like yesterday / the game belongs to me

freaky tah - lex coups bimaz benz / renee remix

mr magic - ain't got nothing

biz markie - biz going off / treat em right

e money bags - calm down

j dilla - stop / mash / gobstoppers / dillatronic 30 ...too many to name

...there's a lot of memphis rappers that succumbed to OD but i remember liking a lot of their beats, southern rappers that were part of conglomerates, like females that were part of the no limit umbella

others i don't really listen to, to have a gauge: proof, king von, young dolph, pnb rock, koopsta knicca, mr 3-2, Hussein fatal, half a mil, stretch, scott la rock, etc ...did dj kay slay make beats?

Can’t wait for this album.

Basically the title. Some of the most iconic rappers you can think of have also had some incredible longevity with the likes of JayZ, Eminem, Nas, Kanye, Drake, and Kendrick. These rappers all have iconic tracks, have been in the game for 10+ years now, and are still producing great music. So my question is who currently in the game doesn't have these chops? That will fade out of existence like Iggy Izalea, Desiigner, and B.O.B.

If I had to pick one at the top of my head, it would most likely be Ice Spice. She has been producing very similar sounding music and she doesn't have the personality thats marketable. I think she's got maybe a year or two if she doesn't come out with a great studio album.

Like songs where the artist is pretty much non-stop spitting crazy bars and flows over a non-intrusive beat

Some examples of what i'm looking for are Raydar by JID, the beat switch on Walkin by Denzel Curry, The Ringer by Eminem, and I Love This Feeling by Nas

The best trash songs of all time that you listen to? I got:

Ghetto Techno-Jayz

Untouchable- TB

Del the Funky Homosapien/Heiroglyphics, Andre 3000/OutKast, Gift of Gab/Blackalicious, and Jurassic 5 are my favorites. I also like Dilated Peoples, Dizzy Wright, and Bone Thugs. Who are the funkiest homosapiens you listen to?

Edit: No mumbles, no Diddy, no Carters.

It's cool music

His albums are playing in my head track for track, hearing them now I’m gonna have to say Jay-Z.

He is far from my favourite rapper but his beat choices are always consistently top tier. Ski Beats, DJ Premier, Timbaland, Kanye, Neptunes, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, Quik, Clark Kent, No ID, Eminem, Swizz…. He’s worked with some of the greats and they bring out the best in him.

Nas is probably my favourite rapper, aside from Illmatic, It Was Written and his last 6 albums he has consistently chosen some of the worst beats I’ve ever heard. Yes each album of his have many highlights, but there’s so many tracks that are just so boring and dry and I think to myself how the hell did this same guy make Illmatic.

They said he can’t be in a goat convo because he doesn’t have enough body of work for solo projects .

What’s your take on that statement?

What are some of the greatest in your opinion?

My vote goes out to

Kase-O from Violadores Del Verso

And Zatu from SFDK

also el Puto Sark aka Rapsusklei aka El Niño de Selva

Who are some of your faves?

I mean he a decent rapper but he hasn't ended no rap careers, he never got into public beef like that, he never put fear into anyone physically in the industry. Yeah he has some Bloods backin him but Suge Knight did too and he had actual pull. He's definitely not a better rapper than a lot of these others out here. He isn't some big boss making all these moves. Why people afraid of him and call him raps boogeyman lol if anything 50 Cent was more and is more of raps boogeyman man Kendrick is 🤷🏾‍♂️

couldn’t find anything ab this

This guy should be in the next up conversations. For some reason he isn’t platformed as one of those guys to be the man for the 20’s. He has lyrical substance and can be conscious without coming across as corny or pretentious, has great production and knocking beats, is good looking, and just seems like a likable person. He has all the ingredients yet he’s relegated to the Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, and Smino talks (no disrespect because they’re all awesome so this isn’t a shot).

I feel like Amine should be at the top of the festival cards and with 20-30 million on streaming.

1. Purple 2. Take it in Blood 3. No Ideas Original 4. Smokin 5. Adam and Eve 6. Highly Favored 7. Lifes a Bitch 8. Get Down 9. Moneys my bitch 10. Body in the Trunk with Nore 11. If I ruled the world 12. Ether 13. Youre da man 14. World is yours 15. Road to Zion

Title

I'm hoping anyone on here could help find this beat. Does anyone know it starting at 2:45? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5WULsa3kvY&t=471s

Was there ever a time where two (or more) rappers were together on the same track, but it simply didn't deliver?

Was there a time where a collab between a notable rapper and producer didn't go as you would've liked?

How would you have liked to see the collab go? What did you want to hear?

i love these songs pls

Peace everyone, i’m looking to expand my hip-hop collection and accessories, and I was wondering if anybody knows any places in person or online that has a pretty decent selection. If I type it on eBay, I usually find a bunch of crap or if I typed out online, I will get some over priced online store.

For example, The Alchemist has some pretty cool stuff on his website, such as playing cards, coins, cups and Eminem has masks, plushes and shit like that.

Can anybody help me out?

i

Not even just lyrically, but at their caliber of music.

Dont know how to articulate it correctly but im looking for verses where the rapper rap with a no pauses type of flow.

Please don't mention any eminem songs cause I've listened to all of them a million time each and they dont do the trick anymore.

I don’t listen to Tripppie at all but Dark Knight Dummo is one of my favorite songs of all time (don’t judge I said favorite not best lol) Edit- geez a lot of yall don’t like Kendrick lol
