Eminem Says 2Pac's 'Hit 'Em Up' Changed Rap Forever

To celebrate Christmas this year, Eminem shared his top 12 favourites diss tracks on Shade 45 Radio in the '12 Days of Diss-Mas'. The number one song was Tupac's 'Hie 'Em Up', which reflected the mid 90s beef of 2Pac vs Biggie. 

"That, I feel like, was the first time I ever heard anybody get that personal on a diss. Most of it was personal, below-the-belt jabs, but it was done so well and the record was just so crazy," Eminem said. "The 2pac-Biggie thing was tough because you liked them both. You were stuck in this weird thing where you were bumpin' a 2Pac diss record, then you were bumpin' something from Biggie that might be dissing [2Pac] in it."

He said it "changed rap" forever. Check out the whole segment by pressing play below.
