    You hear Real Slim Shady and Without Me at almost every Party at some point (at least in Germany). Besides that, you're right.

    yeah, a fair amount of these tracks might not really work. It was just like a pre-pre selection.

    in the USA Real Slim Shady is Bar Mitzvah/wedding karaoke rap. You're never gonna hear that at a club or party.

    Think Lock it Up would also be a honorable mention

    That's why I said "at some point". But wedding karaoke level sounds horrible :biz:

    @Koolo @BIGFOOT Winter explained it well last page:
    Basically we're talking if it slaps/bumps/bangs. It's less "is it a chart hit?" and more "would it be a hit at a party?"

    Because hit is objective and backed by numbers. When “slap” is highly subjective

    I think that’s the point it’s sposed to be subjective, there’d barely be a point to it if we just went by numbers

    It’s also strategic because it’s not who has the most hits out of 20 songs, It’s one song versus another song for 20 rounds. Like, I’m pretty sure Nelly has more hits than Ludacris, but Luda played the game perfectly when they battled on Saturday, so I think he won.

    Which artist is more commercially successful is easy to quantify, you can hit up the Wikipedia page for either artist and see which one has had the most chart success, it’s the competitive nature of “my music bangs harder than yours” that makes it interesting

    have you watched any of these battles? it's not "HEY GUYS THE CRITERIA IS CLUB MUSIC" but it functions in something like a similar fashion, esp. for the battles between rappers -- as opposed to, like, premier vs. rza, where there was a little more appetite for album cuts, but even then the songs with more energy usually win. it's a social thing! who tf is listening to eminem in front of other human beings

    LOL don't get defensive this isn't about TOUGHNESS and CONFIDENCE i just mean there are very few social situations where you would put on an eminem song. like, i'm a huge ka fan––i think he's one of the best rappers in the world today––but his music isn't really a social thing, either. are you telling me you have friends over and fire up the eminem show?
