Kevin Gates has made headlines this year for claiming to have sex with his cousin, admitting to using heroin and kicking a female fan during a performance. In light of this, Love and Hip Hop Atlantastar Lil Scrappy explains why the Baton Rouge, Louisiana emcee is important to Rap. "When I look at an artist like Kevin Gates, I look at Black Eminem," he says to DJ Smallz Eyes. "It's like do what you wanna do. Talk how you wanna talk. Rap what you wanna rap about. f--- everybody else. That's cool." Lil Scrappy says that Gates has opened the door for other artists, including himself, to be able to freely express themselves. "For a minute, that lane wasn't open because everybody's scared of a label telling them, 'Oh, we can't do that,'" he says, "or people blackballing you because you're doing what you wanna do."

Dec 19, 2015 I've thought this before. Just cause the way he does his own hooks with layered vocals like Eminem used to
Dec 19, 2015 Eminem will never be on his level when it comes to obsessively dropping memes on facebook though.
Feb 3, 2016 Hmm I'm confused. this is a strange comparison. Kevin Gates is one of the best right now and Eminem is one of the worst.
