Can't go that way, the underdog can rise to the level of the greats but to be on top of the plateau no way, he was unflinchingly personal to a degree in which he endeared himself in the publics heart but in a strong way but with a subtle degree of maybe sympathy is the wrong word but apathy more close. The zany off subject matter as well was crazy cause it was so out there (at the time) and while intereseint moving away from the status quo in the end we kind of always return to the norm. The same way you would have an Eminem song in your car and prefer to bump Khaled.That said Eminem will always be top five for me truley a rapper of my generation.BTW I was high when I write this so if it's pie 'llow me.
