Eminem News: Rapper Compared to G-Eazy On Larry King, Critics Disagree

G-Eazy talks about his often being compared to Eminem when the Oakland rapper went on Larry King. Though G-Eazy is thankful for being compared, critics are thinking that it isn't a compliment worth making. 

G-Eazy is another white rapper and whenever there is a white rapper, it is inevitable that they are compared to Eminem, according to Rhyme Junkie. 

The rapper compared himself to Slim Shady on his album when he said, "F*** it I'm the coldest white rapper in the game / Since the one with the bleached hair." G-Eazy doesn't deny that comparison happens often between them and expressed gratitude for it. 

"I don't think anybody likes to be compared to anybody. It's beyond an honour, Eminem's the greatest to ever do it." He continued, "I don't think anybody likes to be put in a box, but the world needs boxes, the world needs categories, it just comes with the territory."

Rhyme Junkie also said that though the two have different styles of lyrics, they both have an "aggressive, gripping feel."

However, there were those that thought the comparison was unnecessary. A critic on Howl & Echoes shared how the comparison was uncalled for and it just revealed G-Eazy's big head leading to think that there are many others who would agree.

In the interview with King, G-Eazy went on to share about his musical lyrics.

"It's my story," he says. "You take a record like 'Everything Will Be Ok,' I've experienced that. I went through that. So it's like I can only tell my story. To use music as a place, as an outlet to express yourself, to go there is to let other people listening feel that too and identify with the music. I think that's the power of it. As an artist, it's your outlet, whether that's pain, whether that's your dreams, whether that's your nightmares, whether that's your triumphs or whatever, that's your outlet. Then for the listener, it's to connect with that artist in that story."

What do you think? Should G-Eazy, or any other rapper for that matter, be compared to the "Rap God" Eminem?
