Is MGK the best white rapper since Eminem?

After reading this message board, its evident that 90% of you that are blindly and ignorantly bashing MGK, claiming he's "garbage" etc. etc, actually have no idea what youre talking about. While I agree that it is FAR too early to be comparing MGK with Eminem, who may go down as the greatest rapper of all time, reguardless of race. But the plain truth of it is MGK is HANDS DOWN the most talented and certainly the most unique white rapper, or rapper of any race for that matter, since Eminem! He brought a whole new dimention into hip hop and rap that had previously never been seen, and in doing so has garnered a very loyal following and super dedicated fans, only rivaled by ICP fans! He has created a way for people to positively live their lives through his music and catch phrases, which thousands and thousands of people have adopted and have even had them tattooed on their bodies for life! All it takes is one look at the millions of collective comments on his Instagram photos to see how many lives he's help change for the better through his music. His music is REAL, its RAW and its certainly uncensored! He's not rapping about how dope his gold chains are or how many Bentlys he has in his $20 million mansion. He raps about his struggles as a misguided and troubled youth and pushing through it all to become a success, among many other real and deeply personal things. "Im a rapper but I will not put the jewels back on. My fans love Kells, let me put the fool back on. No shirt, jumpin all over the house, runnin wild. Food hangin out my mouth, lookin like a child. Like I dont know my age, cuz all I do is smile. And instead of turning new leaves, I jump into the pile." The dude is a real and genuine as it gets. Go to one of his shows and watch him moshing with his fans during a song, or watch him take the time to talk to anyone who approaches him and treat them as equals, not like awestruck fans. "E.S.T." is a saying he created and is the message he preaches the absolute most. It stands for Everyone Stands Together, meaning it doesnt matter that hes a famous rapper with tons of money, hes no better of a person than you or I and will treat us as such. Name another rapper or celebrity period that says that and actually follows through EVERY time!? "Whats left for me? Cuz I dont ever wanna become a celebrity. I dont ever want someone to feel LESS than me. So put your camera down and stand next to me. E.S.T. everyone stands together. And if I, should ever R.I.P. then I know everything I stand for's forever. Lace up!" Says it all right there. His rhymes are real, theyre clever and it flows better than any fast styled rapper ive ever heard before. Better than Twista or Drag-On without question! For the comment about him going to rehab then getting better, both of his records under Bad Boy were released post rehab and sober. For the the comment about people thinking they know hip hop based on whats on the radio- Out of ALL the artists listed on this forum, with the exception of maybe Cage, MGK is by far the least played on the radio. He has a MASSIVE underground following from his mixtapes, prior to being signed, so he DOES in fact have the underground respect of Asher Roth or Cage, Eyedea etc. etc. All of whome are talented as well. They all have different styles, but the differences between them are subtle at best. Which is why MGK stands alone in this discussion. Macklemore isnt garbage, but hes not even in the same ballpark with MGK. His messages are great, his delivery not so much. Mac Miller has a few catchy beats with mediocre rapping to go along, which is why he sort of "blew up". Talent wise, he's beneth everyone else mentioned in this post. Bottom line, anyone who says MGK sucks, either has no knowlege of hip hop or hasnt heard more than a snippet from a single song and is basing their opinion entirely on that. Because you simply cannot deny his skills. When I first heard a snippet of a MGK song years ago, I initially was a hater as well.. Then i gave it a chance and listened to about a half a dozen songs of his and by the 3rd song I was a fan and will forever be. Give him a chance and youll feel the same way, I guarantee it!

MCA >>>>> MGK

The best "underground" white rapper I have ever heard is Weerd Science. He is the former drummer of Coheed and Cambria. He is fantastic on every level. I also kinda like Sammy Adams.

Hoodie Allen and G-Eazy are worlds better than MGK. Lyrics are smooth and clever and they have some sick beats. If Logic counts (he is half white) he should be up there too.

isn't the title of best white rapper sort of like best black swimmer?

Give a listen to Brother Ali.

Well to first decide whether not something or someone is the best there must be a criteria to see if that thing or person has a the "ingredients" for it. That being said, how in the world is "YelaWolf" not even mentioned but "hoodie allen" is? LMAO. MGK is good and has sold a good amount of records but if we are talking ability to "add" to any song, be creative, use multiple types of flow and appeal, Live peroformance energy, YelaWolf must be up for discussion. Not to mention YelaWolf is signed with Shady Records and has already obviously been accepted by legendary producers and lyricists such as Eminem, Royce Da 5'9, all of slaughterhouse for that fact, 50, DR DRE etc. Here is a cypher on BET where YelaWolf raps first and is then followed by Slaughterhouse, then Eminem. If you enjoy rap at its purist form take the time to watch this if you havent already seen..If you enjoy rap and Eminems verse doesnt leave you with a smile then I would like you to go run down the side of a mountain.

OP: What about Prime Minister Pete Nice?

THIS, i was wondering the same thing. Yelawolf is the 2nd best white rapper out there. Not to mention he is able to span across MULTIPLE GENRES.

End thread. MGK is trash. I did see him perform in the Gym of my College once. right along I 77, so maybe thats why he wanted to perform there.

Every post I put up is deleted. Why?

Yelawolf hands down.
