    I don't really have a problem with Joe. He's got a track record for f---ing things up but at least as far as the Shady situation goes, he's been echoing the fans for the most part. He claims responsibility for killing Slaughterhouse. He became disinterested in the group because their career stalled on Shady records, and there's not a lot to be made splitting everything 4-ways with no release date. Joe's beef is that the major label gave them very little buzz and no room to release regularly. Both are undeniably true.
    Crooked seems an honest dude so I don't doubt his account either. He takes loyalty very seriously which I appreciate, but while I believe he was working hard behind the scenes to get things moving, I reckon Joe was right and it was a lost cause. I have no interest in Budden's podcast career but it seems to be working well for him. Meanwhile Crooked is touring with Swift and dropping freestyles to a couple of thousand views like too many Shady signees these days.

    Well, i don't know if Andre is the better lyricist. They're both top tier mc's. Very close, at least with prime EM. Now it's a diferent story of course. But what i do know is, that Andre has the best flow of all rappers. Just insane.

    Andre 3000 is an overall better artist than Em. What these young generation fans are loving by Kanye on the Dark Fantasy album Andre did that 12 years earlier with Aquemini.

    Eminem was very good for a brief period of time, but even his absolute best work isn’t Aquemini

    Andre 3000 better than Em how ??? First of all, some people sayin' he is better now. NOW ? When was the last time 3k dropped an album ? He barely features on few songs every year and he never has his own songs for a decade or smh. Imagine Em dropping only like 10 songs in last decade, I can count 10 classics easily. Get where I'm headed ? Everything Andre drops is great because the guy barely drops. On the other hand, Em is dropping an album like every 2 years which is awesome when you consider how long he has been in the game. Now ask yourself this, would u rather be a huge Andre fan or Em fan ? I wouldn't wanna be a huge fan of an artist who doesn't actively make music, that's bad. Em in his prime is better than 3k or any rapper for that matter. I like 3k a lot but let's not act like he is a better rapper... A better lyricist ? Arguable. That depends on how u describe lyricism.

    this is my question. I just want to know who is better when it comes to lyricsm. And maybe in which kind of lyricsm. putting words together, punchlines, story telling.

    I agree with the sentiments he doesn't have sincerity or emotion in his music since Recovery. His new stuff has it in different ways but obviously less. I constantly think back to his 2013 Complex Magazine interview where he said he regrets being so open about his personal life and his family's. He said he wouldn't do that again. He really f---in' stuck to his word...I'm honestly f---in' surprised we even got Stepping Stones. I wish he'd have more personal stuff. Walk On Water and In Your Head type s---, man!!

    When did Andre rap about farting and diarrhoea and countless other garbage then keep moaning like a little b---- because people didn't like his last project?
    I think if they shared a track together from 2000-2003 then Andre would've killed Em. Imagine "Xplosion", "Red Velvet" a longer version of Andre's verse from "?" off Stankonia on "Remember Me" or "b---- Please 2". Em all of a sudden looks normal.
