That's what real rap is. Not talking about ho's and keeping it real and I got beef with this fool. It's about people who live in shit and have to go through it and express it. That's what it is.
Whats ignorant about that? The best rappers are the ones that are real, they dont put up a fake image of themselves and spend their entire career trying to convince people its authentic.

I HATE when rappers constantly rap about their personal problems. There's a line between personal poetry for your notebook and rap. Tupac did it but eminem just takes it too far. How many songs has he made just about his daughter?
ya i think so to man real music is more then just beats and monotone rapping about your problems, this is real poetry i guess but i wouldnt call it real music
ugh... ignorant statement indeed So by your definition a rapper like Rakim (who never spoke about the shit he went through) isn't a "real rapper"
why must people turn every rap thread into an argument for christ's sake....if you don't agree don't fucking flame the thread, make your own if you want EMINEM IS REAL RAP RAKIM IS REAL RAP a true emcee is defined by his flow and lyrical content and most importantly the ability to talk about different topics. which both of them do, and they both have unbelievable flows... I don't understand why everyone has to compare and contrast, they are all different and are great in their own ways every one of you are making ignorant statements, so shut the fuck up /thread
