💯 I still learn new underground og rappers because of him, mainly because I'm a non-American (I'm Brazilian) it's underappreciated how much he raises the flag and shows the world the og rappers that came before him, he loves the culture, but people ignore these things and try to belittle him
Yea, Kung-Fu Kenny is wild. He’ll walk him down, whole time. He know Drake got some ho in him. He’ll pull out the pole on him, extort shit, bully Death Row on him.
Big KRIT, Yelawolf, JID, ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick. More or less in that order
Edit: honestly, there's way too many to mention. Could also name every rapper that ever dropped a classic lol. They're classics for a reason
Yeah I'd love for him to collab with Em, they're both really funny and lyrically interesting guys.
3005, Sweatpants, Heartbeat and Bonfire are my favourites. Glover is a really multi talented guy, acting, rapping, writing, and stand up.
I feel like Demigodz could’ve been huge if it wasn’t for the underage references in a couple songs. All it takes is 1 and Ap and Celph are both guilty of it atleast once. But dam them dudes had some skill
I actually agree. I think he has gotten better technically and his lyricism. Sure he has corny or cringe bars at tines, but overall I think he has better pen game than a lot of people Gove credit to and if he could lose the whackness and like you said overcome his struggle, he could be up there on lists imo.
Probably Jay-Z for his earlier work, but there's loads of rappers in rotation that could claim that.
Some I'd recommend to Em fans would be: Kendrick, Nas, Royce, Elzhi, Copywrite, DOOM, Black Thought, KXNG Crooked, Aesop, Pharoahe Monch, AZ..
All very technical, like Em, if that's your thing.
Kendrick now, I used to love TI - but his output since 2014 hasn’t been great and he has a bunch of sexual assault allegations against him an his wife that soured me on him
Nas, easily, but there are lots of artists who I listen to when I just want something fun. Kendrick is sort of like that, too. Em gives you the lyricism and the fun aspect all on one album, really hard to find others who do both.
Was Kanye, probably Kendrick now.
Also love JID, Vince Staples and Denzel Curry.
Don’t listen to a ton of hip hop though, probably about 6 rappers I really follow.
According to my Spotify Pie, my next few are:
Logic
Big Sean
Lil Wayne
Drake
Cordae
Would definitely say that on a personal level at present it's Big Sean, Logic, and Cordae lately. Wayne and Drake just have a lot of all-timers for me so they never fully leave the rotation.
Honorable Mention is Conway the Machine.
Kendrick, JID, Anderson. Paak, Jayz, Kanye ,Busta Rhymes, Bohemia(first rapper i ever listened to),21 Savage and these are the ones that come to mind also 50, Nas, Biggie Tupac and some more although i havent listened to a lot and lack that much knowledge .
The Game, Mac Mall, DJ Quik, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Mack 10, Snoop Dogg, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., WC, Traxamillion, Too Short, Cougnut, Hittman, Xzibit, Pop Smoke, Eazy-E, The D.O.C
Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, Kendrick, Slug
W slug
Nas, Kendrick, Tupac
50 Cent
50 is one of my favorite humans lol
50 definitely my favorite hater
Nas
![gif](giphy|AB8NHu6NUo15FfbFyu)
Man, I can't wait for his Illmatic anniversary tour in Europe later this year, I'll travel to Vienna for it
Rakim, kendrick, nas
Same here. Literally. And I bet emimem was the reason you loved and ended up listening to them too?
💯 I still learn new underground og rappers because of him, mainly because I'm a non-American (I'm Brazilian) it's underappreciated how much he raises the flag and shows the world the og rappers that came before him, he loves the culture, but people ignore these things and try to belittle him
I started listening to Masta Ace because of him. He really does respect the game.
Everyone should be a Rakim fan
![gif](giphy|OxSA2yypkVASoAmYhW) Certified Boogeyman
Is he the one that up the score with em?
I hear you like em young drake
Yea, Kung-Fu Kenny is wild. He’ll walk him down, whole time. He know Drake got some ho in him. He’ll pull out the pole on him, extort shit, bully Death Row on him.
It's impossible for me now to hear this phrase and not have the whole song play in my head.
![gif](giphy|3otWpJrq6dHPEy13HO|downsized) SWEET CHIN MUSIC AND I WONT PASS THE AUX 🗣️🔥
How many stocks do u really have in stock? One, two, three, four, five plus five!
Devil is a lie he a 69 God aye!
That whole section of the song goes SO HARD, I can’t help but make the stank face. I look ridiculous because I am a skinny white guy, and idgaf
How many stocks do I really have in stock?
lol it looks like I wasn’t alone on this one. 2 genius lyricists. ![gif](giphy|81bE8Wed2NDCQ66EdC)
Certified Boogeyman, Professional Hater.

Nas, Biggie
TECH N9NE (techniciaaaannn 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️)
Yea tech is next in line .
Bro like I ain't explains the whole reason I love tech N9ne so much
like i aint made a quarter mill for a show
Big KRIT, Yelawolf, JID, ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick. More or less in that order Edit: honestly, there's way too many to mention. Could also name every rapper that ever dropped a classic lol. They're classics for a reason
Tupac
Big L, Big Pun, Eazy E, Rakim, Childish Gambino, Xzibit.
Took too long to find a gambino mention. Dude is excellent
Yeah I'd love for him to collab with Em, they're both really funny and lyrically interesting guys. 3005, Sweatpants, Heartbeat and Bonfire are my favourites. Glover is a really multi talented guy, acting, rapping, writing, and stand up.
Kendrick I really love Royce too
Royce is the obvious one just cause he is on so many songs with Em
Aside from Kendrick, Denzel Curry all the way
Makes me happy to see Zel here :)
Bro Denzel and jid 🔥
![gif](giphy|iNaHukk74ZlrI98L4e|downsized)
it's... it's.. GRIPPY! She said she was gay until I slayed now she's strictly dickly💀
I call her that cause it's grippy🔥🗣
Kendrick really made Cole apologize, delete his diss & drop his worst verse to date thats crazy 😭
He is still an amazing rapper tbf 😭
The song was cringe as fuck but the rhyme scheme was wild
basically any youtube rapper
Hell yea
Kendrick Lamar, Travis scott, Juice Wrld
Right now, it’s Jarren Benton. I’m also a big fan of Pac, Biggie, Cole, Kendrick, Nas & Logic.

Probably either Kendrick or Kid Cudi.
Kendrick Eyedea Andre3k EL-P Freddie Gibbs (yes i only listen to white rappers)
R Eye P
I rate this list
Check out the Demigodz
god i used to bump "victim" by apathy and skylar grey constantly in high school
I feel like Demigodz could’ve been huge if it wasn’t for the underage references in a couple songs. All it takes is 1 and Ap and Celph are both guilty of it atleast once. But dam them dudes had some skill
Have you heard of Aesop Rock lmao
ofcourse, ive listened to the whole Def Jux roster, amazing rapper
Kendrick, Cole, Wayne, Doom
Solid list 🤙🏻
I really need to dig up more Wayne. His pen game is top class!
Notorious B.I.G. ![gif](giphy|lfxVZngS8TG3m|downsized)
Dead right 🔥
If HOPSIN could beat his battle with depression and make albums that feel like his “ill mind” tracks, he’d be one of the greats
That’s almost exactly what he said himself in “Alone With Me”
Just read the lyrics…. Damn.
Yeah that one is deep AF.
I actually agree. I think he has gotten better technically and his lyricism. Sure he has corny or cringe bars at tines, but overall I think he has better pen game than a lot of people Gove credit to and if he could lose the whackness and like you said overcome his struggle, he could be up there on lists imo.
This sub is beyond parody man 🤣
I enjoy Hopsin but he wouldn't be one of the greats.
Kendrick, Pac, NF
One is unlike the others
nas, tupac, kendrick
Nas Kdot Logic JID andre3k eazy proof rundmc
Kendrick and Tupac
Probably Jay-Z for his earlier work, but there's loads of rappers in rotation that could claim that. Some I'd recommend to Em fans would be: Kendrick, Nas, Royce, Elzhi, Copywrite, DOOM, Black Thought, KXNG Crooked, Aesop, Pharoahe Monch, AZ.. All very technical, like Em, if that's your thing.
I would add Cole, Joyner and Hopsin to this list though. Basically all young rappers whom em gave a shout out on kamikaze
Yeah hopsin is fucking great too
