Em is fantastic. Lol. His features on Lucky You, Homicide and his MTBB 1 and 2 are dope recent efforts. He's a phenom. I just think when he gets away from his artistry and focuses so much on technical execution he veers towards bad corny lines I've done better since i was kid, and many texters have as well.
But he does have sneaky and sly punches. He's top 5 under every standard. Cultural Influence. Cultural Support. Commercial Success. Critical Acclaim. Technical Proficiencies. His pen is fucking nasty bro. He pushes Hip Hop. Signed 50. Slaughter House. Grizelda. He shows love to Hip Hop History. He is Like Mike Tyson of Hip Hop. Student of the Game, one of the biggest impacts, arguably the best ever.
I just think for me, at this point there are certain MC's he can't outshine. Not many but a few. Easiest one to discern would be Thought to me, bc of their songs and verses together.
