over the past 2 weeks at my work i've been listening to the radio alot an heard a few eminem songs. now i've downloaded them an am making up riffs to his songs o my guitar an it sounds pretty cool, for this reason i beleive that eminem is the best rapper out there, even though i don't like rap, i like eminem's songs, especially sign for the moment an superman, downloading some more now, there's little participation of guitar in his songs but PLENTY of gound for improvisation which is SERIOUSLY cool, if u wanna play to cool ballads download eminem

Sorry, but (almost) all guitar riffs taken from rap songs (especially eminem) come from old songs. Sing for the moment comes from "dream on" by Aerosmith. It's the exact same tab for the guitar, and the chorus is a sample of the original song's chorus.
**EDIT** I've never heard Superman before reading this thread, I just downloaded it, and it's also an old song sample. I don't remember the song, but I can ***ure you it's REALLY old. (probably by sting or csny)

Yeah. I am a fan of guitars in hip-hop oriented styles...such as Linkin Park's music. They do an excellent job of integrating the guitar with the rest of their music. One rap song which doesn't sound to bad with guitar is "Come with me" by Puff Daddy..the guitar is taken from "Kashmir" by Led Zepplin...

yeah, it's fun to mess around on the guitar with rap. especially because a lot of it is looped, so you can jam to the same track the whole time.
