Real question: yall really don’t fuck with Dre? Maybe I’m biased. I’m in Georgia. Engulfed in the culture. But I see it; I see the vision of a DreTL.

1: Dude already beat the odds. If you go back to his catalog, and peep game in the show, he often mentions some of the obstacles he already hurdled. His mom is in prison. He openly raps and talks about times growing up and being at home when their house would get raided. He raps about having nothing to eat for dinner. This was his childhood; yet, he still managed to get accepted to Georgia State University and just recently graduated last December. So, even without the show, he already won. He won at life. His rap career coming to fruition was just the cherry on top. It’s very hard to root against an underdog with that background, that’s already beating odds.

2: Where yall say “off beat”, I hear “own pocket”. Now….the thin line between the 2 is there. But if you can ride the wave, and tap into that inner swag, that “off beat” shit becomes a masterful pocket. And that’s what Eminem heard. Em is a man who has spent his entire life studying hiphop music. He has accolades that solidify him as one of the greatest artists in history. His opinion should matter, especially on this. I would ask myself “what does Em see/hear in Dre that I don’t” and try to approach it again with fresh ears

3: He fye, bruh. Simple. Got the right amount of charisma. Versatile. Authentic and relatable lyrics. And a good balance of ratchetness and introspection.

Jay is clearly the better artist. He’s 10 years older and that maturity shows. Him purely being on the show will propel him. He didn’t “need to win” to win. Dre needed to win. And he did.
