“Drake will beat Eminem in a battle song. It’s not about talent but it’s about the generation.” Akon

“If you have a battle rap between Eminem and Drake, Eminem will win. But then, you have a battle song between Eminem and Drake, Drake will win.

In battle rapping, we’d stand face to face with each other and rap each other off, I ain’t seen nobody do it better than Eminem. But if you’re gonna make a song, and you’ve got time to think about it, Drake is taking him down. It’s not about how talented Eminem is but it’s about the generation and the gap. Drake understands this new generation more than Eminem. I’m saying Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time but if you apply that to today’s generation, they’re not not gonna say it’s Eminem. They might say it’s future.” Akon

Eminem remains the greatest rapper of all time but he hasn’t actually been able to master this new generation of rapping. As time changes, everything evolves, Eminem is still who he is but if you judge from his last album and previous releases, you’ll understand that Eminem hasn’t mastered this new generation of rap.
