my opinion is that Eminem is a better rapper then Mike. I don't know how to explain that, but something inside says that EM is better then Mike.. and why does some people hate EM? some people say that he hates gay people, but at the Mtv Awards he did 'Stan' with Elton John!! the #1 gay person in the whole world! that was not very nice to say that
So what? Look at Chino, he's bad-mouthing the bands he's touring with. Em is very contreversial (?) and sometimes he whines a lot in his rhymes.
I dont like Eminem at all. I dont think he's rapping about real life. Since when was killing your wife and throwing her into a river with your daughter watching real life? As someone else (I think it was Derek) mentioned, I respect Mike, because unlike every other rapper, he can express his thoughts without cussing every 5 seconds. Not that I have anything against bad words, but when you're listening to it, and it's all "yo yo bling bling mutha ####ers we gonna go #### some bitches and #### some hoes and go smoke that ####" it just gets old. Mike is the only rapper I've seen that not only raps about real life stuff, but does it without cussing.
MIKE!!! eminem is just dissing everybody and calling everybody gay...and that kinda stuff...so eminem doesn't get any vote from me
Wow, this is a tough choice. Both guys are great emcee's in my mind. I think Eminem acts all tough, but if you actually listen to what he has to say, you can take it more than one way. Before assuming he's an ass, read the lyrics and pay attention to what he's saying. I either laugh, or actually take it into concideration. So, since I cold be battling this in my head for quite awhile, I think my vote goes to Mike more than Eminem since Mike's lyrics mean more and touch me more than Eminem's. But I still think Eminems a great emcee.
This poll isnt even fair of corse every one here is going to vote for Mike becouse were all Linkin Park falls and look 4 out of 19 voted for Mike.
I picked Mike. Mike's rhymes are so complex that they make you think about them long after you hear them. Eminem just raps about attacking certain peoples and raping his mom and shock attention stuff. Eminem had some good things on Eminem Show though. Most of it wasn't MCing though.
The Eminem Show blows. You want good Eminem stuff, try Infinite or The Slim Shady LP. After those albums, it's not so great.
People who isn't really voting for whomever is more talented and skilled. They are voting whomever is better. Since this is a Linkin Park forum, people obviously is picking Mike Shinoda...
Isn't being better the same thing as being more talented? [/b][/quote] Well no..umm...cross that. They are voting for Mike Shinoda because he is in LP.
Well I could of done Sonny VS. Mike But in my mind I cant really figure out if P.O.D. is rap/rock or otherwise.. I could of always done a who's a better lyricist, that would put Mike and Sonny in the same ring. (Look at Youth Of The Nation's lyrics..they are very well done. Hey they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if that says anything.)
