some truth based on what you've said i kind of agree...BUT at the same time...TRUTHFULLY a majority of those, at least those i know of, more or less had a simplistic, no lyrical word play, like that of Jeezy..they just spoke on what they knew...i'm basing off of lyrical content, wordplay, ability to battle etc...w/ that...that's why i have NO PROBLEM putting Eminem up there.

now dont get me wrong alot of those pioneers of hip hop/rap do get their due cred, but i dont think many outside of maybe Rakim had wordplay in their content.

AGAIN!!! like you said i'm basing on what i've heard/grew up on and i didnt grow up on alot of what you grew up on obviously because of the age gap.
