artist-eminem
flow-A+
content-varies but i'll go with A
lyrics-A+ no doubt
catalouge-A(infinte, slim shady ep&lp, marshall mathers lp, eminem show, 8 mile soundtrack, encore, curtain call, eminem presents the re-up)

Additional-besides being one of the greatest mc's in hiphop history, em is arguably the best rapper alive, and he is the all time album seller in hiphop history. he can rap about any issue whether political, personal, war, love, hate, race, etc. he imo has the best flow in hiphop today and best rhyme scheme, and he rides a beat better than any other mainstream rapper today and has for years. eminem is truly a concious artist, and his songs showcases his masterful craft. he's a brilliant lyricist with an ear and eye for music. he's controverisial, offensive, conniving, thought provoking, mind-boggling, intense, rageful, disgusting, electrifying, contientious, smart, degrading, and can be evil with his songs. he can also open people's eyes with his political viewpoints and hiphop viewpoints as a whole. the man is a living iconic legend. he'll never be duplicated, and there will never be another close to him imo, and he is definetely a revolutionary artist, and last he is rap's evil genius.

Content: B-
Lyrics: A+
Content: C-

He's one of the most underrated lyricists in the game. He's never gotten his due, probably cuz of his weak album lineup. I love him on the mixtapes, though.

Game gets a B on lyrical content? Yeah...

AZ;
Flow: A
Content: A+
Lyrics: A+
Catalogue: Doe Or Die, Pieces of a Man, 9 Lives, Aziatic, A.W.O.L, The Format.

Amazing flow and rhymes, plus all his albums are solid as ****; with at least 1 classic, Doe Or Die. Plus he dropped one of the greatest verses in rap history.
