Eminem VS. Paul Wall Options

[KINGP.I.M.P.]

I like both but i think eminem is way better.

Paul Wall's lyricism appeals to a different audience than Eminem. Paul Wall was never a battle rapper. Rather, a DJ who went to University of Houston and lived in a relatively decent part of Houston and went to a good high school. From DJing and making grills (the oh-so-popular fashion statement gone terribly wrong) in Houston, his street cred rises.

The whole chopped and screwed sound came from the late 'great' DJ Screw himself. Like it or hate it (I have mixed feelings), screw music will soon be a household concept (like crunk). The artists before Paul Wall like Slim Thug, Big Moe, Bun B, and the rest of the Boss Hog Outlawz would get on tracks (while high on cough syrup and weed) and just freestyle about anything. Slow it down, add some panning and a few other effects and you ahve chopped and screwed.

Paul Wall shines over everyone else because:

a) He's white
b) He's the best of the mediocre bunch

Eminem on the other hand, grew up poor, submerged in hiphop and was forced to be the best (so to speak) to even profit off of his own skill. I'm sure as a Communications Major at UH, Paul Wall wouldve been fine finding a job. Eminem's witty rhymes and unique style made him not only, good for a white rapper, but one of the better lyricists of the past 6 years; period.

Support...

Eminem
Its only fair to warn
I was born with a set of horns
and metaphors
attached to my damn umbilical chord
I'm a warlord of rap that'll bash you
with a two by four board
and crash into your Honda Accord
with a four door Ford

Paul Wall
They think I work for Kellogs mouth full of Frosted Flakes
I wreck the mic like if you drivin and lost your brakes
My mouth got ice shattered with princess cuts swollen
I'm the ish like if I had a uncontrollable colon
I'm thoed but you can see me mackin somthings thats chocolate
Sippin' on some lemon squeeze with a cherry on top it
Game damager I take trips up to Canada
So many cars I got more keys than a janitor

They're both talented, but I'd take Em's freestyle over 'Pow Wow's' verse. Not to mention, Em would wreck Paul Wall in a one on one battle. Although, screw is the crunk and Houston is the new Atlanta, thus giving Paul Wall the edge. But f**k that, The Don is about real hiphop.
