But Shakespeare did a version of the same thing. Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear, and Othello are pretty much his four main tragedies. Each of these are great pieces (in some people's mind) but their originality and variety is lacking. They were all created in the same mindset, but do not refer to eachother.

Those people were legends in thier time, the basis of the best plays. Dont compare apples to oranges. Granted, Eminem will probably be on the top 100 best rappers of all time list in about 15 years, but do you think 400 years from now anyone would probably remember him? i think not. Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear, and Othello made history, Eminem will be history the way he is going. Just my opinion
