Pooh Shiesty puts Eminem in his Top 5 MCs of all time

After being released from prison, Pooh Shiesty sat down with XXL in Dallas for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the journey that changed him forever.

The 26-year-old Memphis rapper opens up about life on the inside, the mental and spiritual growth that kept him grounded, the habits he brought home to rebuild his life the right way, the rappers that supported him behind bars, his new song “FDO,” what to expect from his new album, his Top 5 MCs of all time and more.

“Top 5 MCs of all time, first I’mma go with Biggie. He just different. Different type of caliber. Number two, I’ma go with Pac. Pac had a deep message. This ain’t in order. It ain’t gotta be in order. Three, I’ma go with Wayne. Just like I said about Pac. He might have one bar that has four different meanings. Number four, it’s hard to speak on Wayne and not to say Eminem. I’m not big Eminem fan but he’s great. He a GOAT. Then you got Jay-Z.” said Pooh Shiesty.
