Ab-Soul compares himself to Eminem

As a longtime fan of Ab-Soul and hip-hop in general, I find myself both intrigued and excited by his latest moves. Comparing himself to Eminem is bold, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Soulo. His freestyle on On the Radar Radio was a testament to his lyrical prowess, reminding us that he’s still got it.


Just dropped by on the Radar Radio, before my new album Soul Burger hits the shelves this coming Friday, November 8th. Dressed sharp in a Burberry coat and shades, I hail from Carson, California. In a freestyle session, I compared myself to Eminem – a comparison that’s been raising some eyebrows around here.

Prepare for the final blow, who do you think I am? / Eminem with a darker skin tone / Still keeping it real even as I exaggerate,” raps Soulo.

Following a collaborative interview with A$AP Ferg and Sauce Walka on XXL, his freestyle emphasizes Ab’s belief that it’s crucial for listeners to approach modern hip-hop lyrics with an open mind.

Ab pointed out that the essence of being creative or an artist, regardless of genre such as hip-hop, is that beauty lies in its subjectivity. This means that people will have differing opinions about who the best artist is and this debate makes the whole process fascinating. It’s a matter of personal perspective, community, open dialogue, ongoing conversation, and creative exchange.

Just a moment ago, I learned that Ab recently unveiled the tracklist for his album titled “Soul Burger“. The album consists of 15 tracks and boasts collaborations with artists such as Doechii, Vince Staples, Ty Dolla $ign, Lupe Fiasco, and Punch, who is also the president of TDE. It’s said that this LP is a tribute to Ab’s deceased friend, Armon “DoeBurger” Stringer, who sadly passed away during a home invasion in 2021. Stringer can be heard on the album after his death.

Ab recently explained to DJ Head about his new album: “I’ve been making an effort to express him, and I do that mainly through the music, which is why it’s titled as such.” He went on to say, “This album represents a blend of us. It’s like Huey and Riley from The Boondocks… Rather than this being me, it’s Soul Burger. That’s not me. It feels like a new artist has emerged. This isn’t an Ab-Soul production; it’s a Soul Burger production.
