50 or Shady?
It's been the toast of discussion for rap fans all over the world who’s better –50 cent (Curtis Jackson) Or Eminem (Marshall Matthers) aka SlimShady aka Rabbit (nickname) . I’ve been following these discussions on communities ,web-mags & other rap sites but these who-rules-the-rap-world debates never end with a clear winner .So here’s my take on the Rap Ruler:.
Talking about 50 ,he himself works under Marshall’s Shady Records label .Although he got better offers from other production houses he chose to work for Shady Records ‘coz he knew that he’d be able to say whatever he wanted under Shady Records .Last year ,50 broke the record of the legendary rock ‘n’ roll band The Beatles for having max no of songs in top 50 at the same time on the Billboard .No doubt,he’s got a formidable fan following but I really feel his music sucks big-time.His rapping style is what I call sleepy-rap where he just keeps on droning without any voice variation with some busty babes giving him a great time. His lyrics is something very difficult to relate to .Even his biggest hits like P.I..M.P ,Candy shop don’t have that cuss which can make me listen to him again & again or even try learning his rapping style..
Now comes the Man-the man whose I’m the biggest fan ,a fan even bigger than Stan-Eminem.The best thing about his rap is it comes straight from his heart & something I can relate to. No wonder, in 2002 ,he was voted the 2nd most powerful celebrity on the earth .In each of his songs & in each of his lines u’ll see a reflection of evry feeling,emotion,thought which are buried inside evryone’s heart & mind . His frustrations, failures, pain,hope, dedication,journey-to-zenith are somethings which u can easily relate to .He has never hesitated to target whatsoever & whomsoever he doesn’t like .No wonder N-sync ,Christina Aug., MJ, Elvis, Tom Green, Mrs. Cheney, George Bush. among others have been at his receiving end .
For me,Shady is the uncrowned ruler of the Rap world & I m not saying that ‘coz I’m his die-hard fan but ‘coz his music & lyrics has something which liberates ur heart,mind & soul. No other rapper would have inspired & changed the lives of so many people (I being one !) around the world. Marshall has done that.
Hail Eminem!!
THINK IT OVER!

Great post. Finally something worth reading(Na, I'm just screwing around with you- there's lotsa good stuff to read.). Jokes aside, I agree with you on this one Eminem's the God in Rap.
As he says "One opportunity, one chance". He's got a canny knack of stating the reality.
Long live Slim.
P.S.: Cut down on your bullshit rapping in the hostel- you're killing the rest of us.
