Eminem came out in 98' i dont count his first shit infinite.
im sure there a few more but thats what i can just think of off the top of my head.
Twista was twistn' it up way before bone even dropped faces of death. All them memphis cats were doing the same back in the real early 90's as well. I guess its all about who droped the style first. I will say this though back in the days no major record company would touch anyone who rapped...
Dudes whack, why everyone tryin to be like someone else when they flow. You will never get signed if you flow like somone else no matter how much you can mimmc that person.
