Irv Gotti says Eminem not that great
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 June 2009
Irv Gotti of The Inc (formerly Murder Inc) Records has reacted to Vibe magazine’s naming of Eminem as the “best rapper alive”, and he clearly doesn’t agree.
He told MTV: “Shit like that kinda pisses me off. You know why? Because let’s take Eminem’s records. Watch my analogy. Eminem is a great artist, no doubt. He puts words together, he’s witty, a smart lyricist, a great lyricist. But how can we say the guy is the best rapper alive? I’ve been to battles with DMX, Jay-Z and Ja Rule, that was some real shit. Homie, you wouldn’t been able to survive. I say take Eminem, and let him say ‘Hard Knock Life’. Still hot. Now, let’s have Jay-Z say the ‘We Made You’ song. They would laugh him out the fucking building. It would be over”.
