Eminem - Infinite

Big Pun - Capital Punishment



(Clearly there are more but this is the main shit i bump to)

If you're speaking from a production standpoint, Infinite didn't have amazing beats. Decent ones, but fairly generic and party-ish. Now from a lyrical view it's probably one of Ems more creative approaches. You can see his flow is a bit underdeveloped, but the style he's using is fairly unique and arguably more impressive than his follow up SSLP.(In terms of just rhyme schemes, structure, punchlines etc.) What it LACKED, honestly...Was good production. Oh and maybe a track or two similar to brain damage or perhaps guilty conscious.
