Is Eminem the best multi-syllabic rapper ever? (Back to the forum)

Agree?

No… Maybe to you, in my eyes you cant tell who’s “The Best”. Its all about taste. And can people just shut up about Eminem?

i can start naming verses

who do you think is better?

“You trying to haunt me nigga I ain’t trying to hear it, BUCK BUCK BUCK! I’ll give your ass a holy spirit!”

nah, big pun’s better at those

^Pun’s better at it, but RG officially named DOOM number one at this. But he’s not the best rapper though, at least not in my eyes.

Number 2 was Cam'Ron.

Drinking Saki in the Suzuki, we in Osaka Bay

^ Camron?

from Dipset?

Not sure if he’s the absolute best or not.. there’s alot of great ones that are really close..

Probably,
Eminem
Elzhi
Pun
Canibus
Hopsin
Crooked I
Royce

are good contenders
im sure im missing some though but yeah..hard to tell who’s actually the best

Idk, have u heard El-P, Aesop Rock, or Tonedeff?

Eminem has verses with like 15 syllables for the whole verse he’s rhyming.

If you think that’s something, you NEED to listen to Born Like This. The ultimate in multisyllabic rhyming. Aesop Rock’s another multisyllabic rapper that many people don’t listen to

by MF Doom?

@UF

I don’t know if we’ve made an official list, but that sounds right lol

Eminem is the best overall rapper, which doesn’t mean he isn’t the best at a lot of things

You guys act like Eminem is a bad rapper

UF, link to “RG officially named DOOM number one at this” ?

Nah, Kool G Rap is better and I´d say Big Pun is better too.

Hopsin. “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4”. Now click dislike just because Hopsin is new in the game.

Oh and yea. Listen to Em’s “Stay Wide Awake” or the last verse on “Oh No”.

Sorry for triple posting but —

5 Months Ago they said Eminem. Now I can’t wait for someone to post and say NAS THE GOAT ASGHDFUOS etc etc.

You guys are leaving out Big L

“I push a slick Benz, I’m known to hit skinz
And get endz and commit sins with sick friends”

“I flows, so one of my shoes, wouldn’t be clever to miss
I’m leavin competitors pissed
To tell you the truth, it gets no better than this”

“You think shes all yours but as soon as your dough go the hoe go now you solo
But when you was makin paper sellin (jo polls?) you bought dumb clothes for allathem bum hoes”

he can do it while rapping at like 5 mph and STILL come off hot.

Deffinetly Big L

I think you need to get eminems penis out your rectum

Big L rhymed multies in almost all of his songs

Edan is really good at this.

I’m pretty sure 95% of the people on this site have no fucking clue who Edan is.

Edan is so sick ^

I don’t know how Cam'ron is number two when Elzhi is still breathing.

Elzhi > Cam'ron in multis

But to answer your question, NO Eminem is NOT the best with multis

Kool G Rap is crazy with them multies.

It’s either em, elzhi, or pun.

Did some retard really say cam'ron? Lmao.

DOOM is most definately the best at it

“IT’s the beat
He hear it in his sleep sometime
Blare it in your jeep so your peoples can stare at them rhymes
Real rhymes not your everyday hologram
Even when ribs were touchin never swallowed the Ham”

–“Vomitspit” from the album MM…FOOD

Emcee’s smoke crack!

Yo, I love Edan, he’s my favorite white rapper by a fuckin mile but I don’t think he’s THAT great of a multisyllable rapper. I mean, is it even really a contest? eLZhi man. Em’s nice and all but El took what he, Big Pun, Kool G Rap developed and takes it to another level.

I honestly don’t think DOOM is as good as Eminem or Elzhi or Pun tbh..
Another one who doesn’t get brought up is Los.. he’s ill with them:

“Okay I take my middle finger, flick it to the wickExplained media
Critics on my dick, clicking a nigga’s wikipedia
Flow more intricate than the period of pyramids
Whack rappers lack what the Pythagorean Theorem is
My mathematics will trip you have your shoes tangled
I think it’s funny, you come at me from acute angle
I could of grabbed all my weapons and took a T.I
But I ain’t gotta see you to kill you, Book of Eli”

or:

“Although my pen’s pressed to my composition
I’m hardly ever impressed by my competition
God given vocal cords that can open doors
Alot of pressure being this deep like a ocean floor
Ocean blue coupe seats feelin' soft and cool
She feelin' soft and sweet, Me? Philospohical”

Now I’m not saying Los is the best, I actually think Eminem and Elzhi are more technical but he does deserve to be up there, the above is insane^

1 gift of gab 2 kool g rap so no imo eminem aint the best at multies

I actually got thumbed down? Not sure if srs..
Are you aware what a multi is

I’d like to say Aesop Rock is definitely one at the very top, but it’s really hard to compare his style to pretty much any other rapper haha.

“What are we to heart Huckabee art fuckery suddenly,
Not enough young in his lung for the waterwing
Colorfully vulgar poacher out of mulch, like
I'ma pull the pulse outta soldier and bolt
[Fine!]
Sign of the time we elapsed when a primate climb up the spine and attached
Eye for an eye by the bog like swamps and vines,
They get a rise out of frogs and flies,
and when the dog fight’s hog tied prize sorta costs a life,
the mouths water on a fork and knife, and the allure isn’t right,
No score on a war torn beach where the cash cow’s actually beef
Blood turns wine when I leak for police, like
‘that’s not a riot, it’s a feast, let’s eat!’”

I’ll probably get thumbed down because there is a lot of Hopsin haters but Hopsin is sick with the multies:

“I’m the undeniably hot nigga, who’s making Hip-Hop iller
The spot filler, i smash rappers out and got sicker
Hopzilla, i’m like a mischevious prop getter
I'ma probably get popped by Biggie and Pac’s killer”

and:

“Pray to god for it not to start
I’m a psycho nigga finna top the charts
Being shot with darts until it stops your heart
and chopped apart and thrown up in a shopping cart”

The thing that sets Eminem’s multies apart and superior from others is the fact that he rhymes them while narrating a story and painting a vivid imagery. Also he hardly uses big nerdy words which are usually easier to rhyme, he instead uses sets of simple words. Now that is something.

Anyone forgetting this guy?

this song helps prove how good he is at it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxDStr6r6kk

theres no doubt eminem is good at it… I think not talking about his work on MMLP or SSLP is missing his best work though

Big Pun is better though… go listen to Twinz, I know everyone points to it but that first verse, damn.

Multies are over emphasized though, it’s for people who don’t really know how to formulate or defend opinions so all the sudden everything comes back to multies… Multies are not what make or breaks songs, they are tools used to craft a flow. If you can make a flow you can concentrate less on getting syllables to match exactly up. I know someone will come on start talking about rhyme scheme and all that, yea its important, but music is different from poety. People don’t count syllable when they listen for the most part, not can they really if u got a crazy flow. They aren’t a must like these internet assholes who don’t know jack shit like to preach.

Switchin the PATTERN, bust out that quick midwest CHATTER
Some people hate but it ain’t MATTERIN', but the people gather, it’s FLATTERIN'

SWITCHIN' the PITCH, MIXIN', there’s no need to be STIFF in this BITCH
SPITTIN' full CLIPS on a MISSION for BLISS when I be RIPPIN' this SHIT

Make it EXCITING, got to be INVITING when you’re WRITING your PIECE
Never be dick RIDING, if you’re gonna be BITING, you’re IGNITING the BEAST

Imma leave this here

Shit, have yall heard “Stay Wide Awake”? It’s one of the best examples I can think of. As far as technical brilliance, this song is top 10 of at least the last half decade. If Em isn’t one of the best multi-syllabic rappers ever (which I consider him to be), then he’s definitely up there.

^whats the big deal about it?

Yeah, are you kidding me with that Stay Awake shit? The lyric that got the most thumbs on that song sounds like every line in Brag Swag.

No one can fucks with the Master.

Word^

Kool G rhymed almost his whole verse, shit was dope. He’s top 10 IMO.

I really suggest you listen to tonedeff….

“Best” is usually a pretty subjective word.

That being said, one of the best in my eyes is Pharoahe Monch

This is from “Haile Selassie Karate”

Hijackin' helicopters, detonate your metropolis
While I’m in the cockpit, politicin' like Stephanopoulos
And my esophagus is quite atomic when I vomit
It’s bioengineered urbanonomics
The formula, truth divided by innovative ebonics
Times smooth lime, crushed ice and a splash of tonic
Nigga my past lives are astronomic:
Smokin hash in a cathedral with Nostradamus

Pun, L, & Em are all tied. Kinda hard to put one over the other but I don’t think anyone else is coming close to them.
