In a recent interview with @HipHopDx, Big Daddy Kane opens up about how Eminem surprised him and he talks of J. Coles rap skills.
It is important to note that, Eminem’s rap career started in an era when Hip Hop scene was dorminated by mainly blacks/coloured – hence he was prejudiced and was never really accepted when he started.
Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), known professionally as Eminem (/ˌɛmɪˈnɛm/; often stylized as EMINƎM), is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is credited with popularizing hip hop in middle America and is critically acclaimed as one of the greatest rappers of all time – @Wikipedia
He rose to prominence with the release of ‘My Name is‘ off his second album The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Hence, this is to show that rap cut across all race and ethnicity.
Moving on from Em’, J. Cole’s rise to fame came like a thief in the night – he stole our hearts with us not willing to take it back. Cole is no doubt one of the most talented rappers of our time – he is more like the Pac of our time!
Jermaine Lamarr Cole (born January 28, 1985) is an American
rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born on a military base
in Germany and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina – @Wikipedia.
Cole rose to prominence in the rap scene and captured the heart of many with the release of The Come Up, in early 2007.
This two great minds are no doubt a blessing to our generation and the hip hop community at large.
