Eminem Vs. Ma$e Beef? Rap Diss, 'MMLP2' Emcee Doesn't Make Top 5 'Mount Rushmore' Acts, But Lil Wayne & Jay-Z Do! Not Original?

Eminem is one of the hottest rappers in the industry right now - but according to fellow hip-hop superstar Ma$e, Slim Shady doesn't cut it as a Top 5 "Mount Rushmore" emcee.

But who does, then?

The Harlem, NYC native tells XXL:

"One, Biggie. Two, N.W.A. Three, Nas...Nas is one of the illest. Four [is Lil Wayne]...I like No Ceilings Weezy...I like Weezy when he's high. Five it's a tie between...Nah, it's not a tie...I'ma go with Hov."

So, why not the infamous MMLP2 rapper?

"I wouldn't say Em because the way Eminem rap... there were all types of ni**as who rapped like that who couldn't get on the radio... same rapid flow never got put in that light."

Wow - do Mstars readers agree?

Wonder if Ma$e will now appear on an upcoming Shady diss track for his blatent remarks!

The Bad Boy Records rapper is set to release a new album entitled Now We Even sometime this year. Ma$e reveals that a slew of well-known emcees will appear on the record including Drake, Puff Daddy, Cam'ron, and Meek Mill. But so far none of his Mount Rushmore candidates.

So, how will this album compare to Ma$e's debut Harlem World (1997)?

"Storyline is still the same... Making it amongst people who thought we couldn't. It's definitely not gonna be no Welcome Back album. It's gonna be some of everything."

Will Eminem fans still check out the album, despite Ma$e's take on the Detroit emcee's stardom?
