    Kendrick sounds NOTHING like Eminem...step your alias game up as well.

    Yes...He does...Not in the voice, but in the technique...His cadences be real Shady-ish sometimes...

    Kendick himself in this interview said Eminem influenced his style lmao you must be blind or have not read the interview or even thread title. As far as message and how personal Kendrick can get and his cadence too anyone who heard his music can clearly tell he been influenced by an album like The Eminem Show you can tell that he was influenced by that album in particular because of how he has a message, get's personal, and speaks on thing's about his life. Tho i will admit 2pac did that succesfully before Em but Em got more mainstream success while he was alive doin that

    Eminem said 2pac and Redman were some of his biggest influences 2pac for the personal message and emotion Em has in his music and Redman for the witt and humor. But Kendrick uses emotion and message more so like Eminem than Pac in his delivery

    Kendrick never said Em's alter ego Slim Shady influenced him though which was influenced by Redman clearly Kendrick is talking about Eminem's emotion and personal message which is an obvious influence

    It's all personal opinion i relate to Em's music cos i think he covers music for the average regular person like myself goes thro he has a gift of how he put's his message across with emotions and what he been thru with his first 3 albums being classics ino so that's why i think Em GOAT

    ? ..the point is Eminem's cadences came from someone else that's influential and originally not from him so Eminem's not really influential, just the Machine hyping his soulless influence and sales as usual.

    And since Kendrick is part of the Machine now..well, not to knock him because dude putting out great music, but you know it's just typical industry politics within.

    The machine thing is very invalid you just have to look at Yelawolf who really did flop co signed by Eminem and Slaughterhouse also flopped co signed by Eminem both released albums under his label. Both were released under the so called machine Interscope too yet just look at how they flopped. It can't be politics when Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse sold a comination of barley 100K between them under Em's label, co sign and machine.

    Also have to point out Rakim said what he said about Eminem in that interview but it did nothing to help his sales 1 bit so it's idiotic to say it's politics since no rapper has ever benefited in sales or popularity or gained any of Em's fan base by praising him so the facts prove the politics argument doesn't add up. They say he a genious or the best or top 5 or a legend or whatever praise they give cos that's how they genuinley feel about his music. It never ever benefited Rakim's record sales saying it

    Now you know they aka The Machine don't want any other artist(s) to outsell the Great White Hype, especially if they're Black. Yelawolf being from the South (Alabama) and being another White rapper after the Great White Hype the Machine put on a pedestal didn't help his cause neither.

    So now you are contradicting yourself lmao first it was Kendrick is just saying this for politics to gain sales from Em's fan base then when it's pointed out no rapper that has praised Eminem be it saying they think he the best, a legend or whatever other praise has not benefited their sales from doing this now you completley contradicting yourself and now suddenley you saying the machine don't want any rapper that praises Eminem to out sell him or sell like him? i don't think you know what you saying the contradiction is laughable

    The so called machine sure as hell didn't stop Outkast going diamond like Eminem has or Nelly going diamond like Eminem or Lil Wayne selling a million in the first week like Eminem has done in lmao. The machine sure as hell didn't stop all these countless black rappers going multi platinum like Eminem has such as Kanye West, T.I., Nas, Chingy, Young Jeezy, Ice Cube, Snoop lmao

    ? ...Sales is just PART of the hype, not all of it.. What part of that that you don't understand?

    I didn't say that it was for ONLY sales, ? . I said it was politics because the Machine always has to hype up Eminem to keep him in the relevant eye, not for Kendrick to gain sales. You're the only one that seems to be focused on just sales. It's still industry politics through the media that Eminem must keep getting brought up all the time.

    They're both trash. Em was aight back in the day, but now he settles for corny punchlines and wack puns, and Lamar can't rhyme on beat. He just creates his own flow and rhymes with himself lol. Plus he rhymes the same on every song.

    Makes no sense Eminem can sell a blank CD most likley with just his name attached to it far from bragging about this but we know he that big of a star that it's true so the relevant thing doesn't add up he is 1 of the most popular entertainers/artists/faces in the world let's put sales aside and lets look at maybe facebook likes, youtube views, twitter even with out an album out in years Eminem still getting more views, likes on facebook, twitter following than not just more than any other rapper but more than pretty much artists of other genres too. So why would someone like Kendrick saying this benefit Em what so ever when most Eminem fans probably aren't even gonna see this interview/ It makes no sense you saying Eminem fans won't buy his next album or single or go to his next tour just cos Kendrick or any other rapper didn't big him up?
