Next.

[Pete]

What's going on? 

[Mook]

What's that cunt doing in it? And I don't mean Marvin.

[easytoslip]

Beyond comparison, I'll be Doggone. 

[Tony Moanero]

Eminem, HANDS DOWN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, not really. Marvin Gaye!

[sh#t waffle]

Though I can appreciate Eminem is a technically proficient MC, I hate his stupid whiny voice. Marvin by an absolute mile for me. 

 

This thread has just reminded me I've not listened to this in ages:

 

Just out of interest, is Eminem the only rapper to make the cut? He's often spoken about as being up there with the greats, but he's not even in the top 50 for me.

I think that's a little Code-esque.

The voting in this is showing the pro white, anti black TLW bias I see. 

[Bjornebye]

Jay Z isn't in but 2Pac is. 

 

Of course Eminem deserves to be in this tournament, 2Pac as well and Jay Z probably does too. 

 

This tie isn't even close though.

Tough draw for Marshall here. I thought he’d have enough to get past round one but I Forgot About Gaye. 

[Code]

People should just skip the first two minutes and forty seconds here obviously.

Haha, in fairness I hear he's quite a good full back.

 

I should have clarified to say that this is entirely personal preference – as I say, he's technically proficient, but I happen to absolutely hate his music and his voice. In spite of that, I understand why he's in the list, I was genuinely interested in whether any other MCs were.

[Pidge]

Sorry Marshall.

[Trumo]

Marvin was the first person I listed when Stig was taking names for this competition.

[ZonkoVille77]

WTF is wrong with people?

Really?? He got 4 or 5 votes in the run-off.

 

I think Gil Scott Heron did as well.

They both got 4 I think. Just missed out on the play off, play off.

I skipped straight to the end

I've tried with Marvin Gaye, just never really got it. It'll maybe give him another whirl. Eminem is a cock and most of his music isn't great. Marshall Mathers LP is good though. I think I'll abstain.

Your loss.

Eminem is a genius. Of course, the GF will vote for Marvin Gaye.

Not in the top 50 rappers? Name them. After about ten, you’ll got ‘oh... that’s was stupid’.

Because it’ll be the right result.
