Eminem crowns Tupac “the greatest songwriter of all time” in new tribute

Eminem, who is an icon of hip-hop, and a true G.O.A.T., weighed in on who he thinks is one of the best of all time. He labelled a legendary rapper “the greatest songwriter of all time,” but who?

Eminem has revealed who takes the crown when it comes to “the greatest songwriter of all time”. Whilst broadcasting his own curated playlist on an American station, the Detroit rapper affirmed his admiration for Tupac Shakur’s lyricism.

The 47-year-old rapper even referred to the legendary rapper as the greatest of all time.

“OK, this next song is from an artist that I feel like might be the greatest songwriter of all time” Eminem began before playing Tupac’s legendary record, “If I Die 2Nite.” Em continued on to say “Debate what you want about MC skills and all that because he had that, too.” Honouring Tupac, Em reveals “This is one of them songs by Tupac that, to me, was like, he was showing you I can write heartfelt sh*t and I can write lyrical, crazy sh*t, too.”

Eminem Calls Tupac the Greatest Songwriter of All Time. The rapper, who dropped off his surprise ‘Music to Be Murdered By’ back in January, went on to explain why he crowned Tupac with the honourable title.

“They say p**sy and papers, poetry, power and pistols/Plottin’ on murderin’ muthaf**kas ’fore they get you,” he rapped, reciting lyrics from the record.

“The play on the p-words and all that sh*t and like, how he was doing it was so crazy mixed with the feel that Tupac could give you, which is constantly why I feel like he was always saying, ‘Can ya feel me?’ because you felt ’Pac.”

“You can’t just listen to ’Pac. You feel ’Pac. If you listen to him, you’re gonna feel him.”

Whilst other hip-hop artists like Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Missy Elliot are also credited for being some of the best lyricists, Tupac was Eminem’s pick.

The rapper recently released his documentary ‘Stans’, which fans have been loving.

The show covers the making of his iconic track ‘Stan’ and delves into his fanbase directly.
