Especially in the case of Proggy's example I'd argue it's more about the way the words sound when said together. And that part of Guerilla Radio has a great sound.

I've never thought of him as a great lyricist, just a distinct voice with great energy.

I don't like Rage, still I'll agree with that. But the best white rapper?

I told you, if I called Zack de la Rocha "the best white rapper" to his face he'd beat my fucking head in.

The point is there are SO many white rappers more gifted than Eminem yet he receives so much praise because he rapped about trailer trash shit. It's not fair to rappers like Aesop, where because they're not as well known in mainstream music that they are doomed to obscurity.

aesop isn't having that hard of a time. His latest album debuted 50 on the billboard charts,and for a while mtv was promoting him. Even saw him interviewed on vh1.

Of course he's not as popular as eminem, but he certainly isn't starving anymore.
