yeah, give examples

to say eminem has an awful flow is nothing short of ridiculous.

his flow in itself is complex; the scheme he uses isnt easy to pull off. if you have a problem with his beat selection thats on you - but I dont how its 'simpler' overall in comparison to other artists. beats arent harder to flow on either dude, they're just different to flow on. a 'complex' beat isnt more difficult to flow on neccessarily than a simpler one - flow is independant of that. its the artist thats fitting it to the beat, composing the melody, etc. of course you have to ride that beat but thats just a portion of the overall proccess.
