It's all about opinion. There is no need to call me a fag or gay. In MY opinion I would think Em would win in a battle vs Cassidy. I have already seen the Freeway-Cassidy battle. No offense, but he was battling Freeway. Thats like the Yankees beating a high school team.

In a way, though, it's true. Take your list, for example. You have Lil Wayne, TI and Juelz in it. Although they are successful, these are folks that haven't spent much time in the field to make a mark as a GOAT. Here is where age comes in. These are folks that you are growing up/grew up with. These are the rappers(of today) that people are listening to. Me? I've been around since rap's beginning. I was 10 when it came on.

I only post this because of your comment. It isn't a diss to you or your choice. Your choice is your choice. There are a lot of choices in this thread that I can't believe are in here, but it is up to the person who their favorite is. Feel me? Later, QD.

Just a question.....what would give a rapper a GOAT label? Fans? record sales? longevity? number of albums? number of classics

define GOAT

Damn dude. You have to attack everything I say as if it has no merit. What's up with that? Like you're trying to "prove" I don't know shit.

To answer, basically everything you listed.

And GOAT = Greatest Of All Time.

50 is not a clone of Eminem. They're rhymes aren't even close to the same. What the fuck are you smoking?

Em's shit is 100 times better than 50s

["B"]

Name a another rap group to sell as many records and have an impact on the industry like g-unit has in the past 10 years?

I'll be waiting






G-Unit hasn't sold shit as a *group*, do you mean as a label combined?


:lmfao:


Roc-a-Fella, just because of Jay-Zs sales numbers

["B"]

I serious hope this wasnt directed to me

Actually I was agreeing with you. It was a quote that I messed up for a Jay-Z rap.

add lil wayne to that shit too

if u say so :lmfao:

So you think their style is the same?

They rap about the same shit?

Just because Em put 50 on doesn't mean he is a clone. 50 couldn't hold Em's dick in his mouth while Em rapped.

not my kinda stlye of hip hop, i just think they suck ( dick and rap)...

["B"]

So you just don't like them? That isn't one being a clone of the other, that is you being bias.

[cactusEG]

bias (v.) To influence in a particular, typically unfair direction; prejudice



and i didnt pick one or the other like i said i dont Em or 50

["B"]

Why yes I know.


You are bias against both 50 and Em; hence why you think 50 is a clone of Em when they don't rap alike, sound alike, talk alike, act alike.

Uhhh forgot about Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony? They are the number one rap group of all time, at least sales wise. They have sold more than 33 million copies of their albums worldwide.

ok "B" mase had skills when he was in his prime before he went to be a pastor(before his little comeback he had 2 years ago), Biggie/Mase made Bad Boy and Diddy because in all their songs/videos diddy aka puff daddy back then was just in the background dancing and saying thank you. and on the note when someone said cassidy can out battle eminem, thats true thats damn true. I dunno if you've ever seen cassidy battle but he can break anybody down with ease. sorry but em wouldn't stand a chance, and eminem being one of the greatest of all time is bullshit he rapped bout the same damn thing every time basically crying like a little girl over his fucked up family. The only reason he blew up the way he did in the age of pussy ass boy bands is because he was a producers dream because he was a decent lyricist and he had the best crossover capability out of any rapper at that time. pz

How am I misinformed when that was my exact point. Jay-Z as an artist has sold more records than all of G-Unit combined (not counting records from artists they signed from other labels)

1. I got your bitch. There is not need to throw insults directed at one another.

2. You had Cassidy in your top 5 purely for the reason that you think he is good at battling.

3. In my opinion Em would slaughter Cassidy in a battle.

4. How does that make me a fan boy?

5. How about you respond with a mature response this time instead of throwing out "fan boy" biatch" and ":gay: ".

["B"]

I never said he didnt.


Actually by putting Cassidy in your top 5 purely based on his battle skills you did.

Interesting response.

I think that Biggie (and his death) put Bad Boy on the map. Then Diddy made that song in rememberence of Big. After Biggie and Tupac's deaths hip-hop turned dancy (I'm guessing to tone it down and put a stop to the violence). Mase was the perfect candidate for that with his flashy suits and dance moves (with Diddy in the back ground like always). I had all of Mase's albums at one point back in the day, but lost them slowly over time.

On a side note, the one person to gain the most from the death of Tupac and Biggie was Diddy.

I stitll disagree on the Em/Cassidy thing, but we can never resolve that one. lol

I really think you have to seperate Top 5 into a 80's/90's and up category.. I mean Jay Z is talented, but cant holt a light to someone like Rakim.. then again I think LL has skills but would get crushed by 'Pac

tupac
ice cube
jay z
eminem
and call me crazy but project pat is pretty good

naw he didn't want to get owned by a small timer.....small time or big time you get challenged to battle you either throw down or bitch up and you know what em did.
