Compilation of Eminem Compliments by Rappers including Kanye West, Drake, Kendric Lamar & others.
He was a scrawny young man with bleached blonde hair negotiating a deal with Dr. Dre only a few years ago. So, what’s next? Eminem is, without a doubt, the greatest rapper of all time. But Eminem Hasn’t Crowned himself as the Best, But he’s been Hand Over the Crown by his Hip-Hop Peers. Today We Feature Some Of the Compliments that Rappers have Given to Eminem Over Time. One Of The Best Hip-Hop Selling Artists Got All the Respect From Other Artists. At the age of 42, He Still Becomes the Toughest Competitor of Every other Hip-hop Artist, his Lyrical Skills admired by Every Other Fan.
Eminem has cemented his place among the legends as a “Rap God.” But the Detroit spitter also pays tribute to other legends. We saw his (very cool) letter to Tupac Shakur’s mother a while back, for example. He lauded the New York-born MC in it. Last week, he expressed his admiration for newer rappers such as Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, and Drake.
Over the course of his 25-year career, Eminem has been embroiled in some of rap’s most infamous feuds, proving time and time again that he’s one of the greatest when it comes to verbal fighting. The Detroit rapper is predominantly famous for the feuds and beef with other artists, he is also in the compliments of various artists who are lesser known to the fan world. He is looked upon by various artists including Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B and J.Cole. In this article, we will tell you about the compliments of artists who have come out in the open and praised Eminem.

Marshall Mathers, unlike most other rappers, hasn’t declared himself the best. He is truly averse to the title. Instead, he’s been crowned time and time again by his peers, who have always had nothing but positive things to say about his abilities on the mic (except for Benzino, of course!). So, in honour of Slim Shady’s 40th birthday, we’ve compiled a list of 40 compliments from rappers over the years. Eminem receives more adoration from the rap community than anybody else, and we mean nobody. These praises attest to that.
In a recent interview, Fat Joe labelled Eminem as a god. “Eminem is a God. I don’t give a f–k what you think. He’s a god,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? He’s somebody who shifted the whole algorithms when he came out.”
“I remember me and Big Pun, Big Pun was the first Latino to sell 2 million records solo, we nominated for Grammy and the night before we go to the Grammys, we are waiting on line in LA in Tower Records for the f–king Eminem album. Nominated for the Grammy, me and Big Pun on line to get that motherf–king Eminem album. You tell me he ain’t a Rap God. You understand what I’m saying? So it’s like, you know, I respect everybody who put their contributions to this game.”
