Immature yeah, but immature does not mean overrated. He's brilliantly immature, and then hits you with a serious song. The song 8 Mile blows everyone out of the water and it's a normal song free of shock value.

Immature Eminem is still better than your mature favorite rapper.

I feel this a very true statement.

Much of it is that much of Eminem's material is very immature & its why he has so many younger fans even at 45.

The older I have got I have realised even his best material is overated & not classic material like I previously thought. SSLP,MMLP & TES are still good albums but all 3 have not aged well at all.

Your thoughts Stanleys?

in what world is recovery better in any aspect than relapse

He’s the goat according to many fans - and fellow rappers - for a reason

Put some respek on his name

Jay-Z might the greatest lyricist ever and calling him basic only highlights your own stupidity. He has songs that an intelligent listener has to listen to multiple times to catch everything he's saying and doing so the fact that you called him "basic" leaves zero doubt that his music goes right over your head

The opposite is true for me.

I was always naturally good at English; I say that only to say, as I've aged (I'm now 27; have been listening to Em since I was 9) - my appreciation for Em's brilliance with writing has only increased.

He's an incredibly unique writer.

His image, black, white, controversy, GOAT or not, his place in history, his amount of wack albums and/or songs, the constant drive to look cool or not by liking Eminem (has been happening in cycles since 99 tbh)... Whatever. All that s--- is cyclical and on-going.

But his writing? His uniqueness as a writer, at his best - the way he phrases s---, his intuitive understanding of the power of language, his rhyming skill,. his choice of wording... Seriously amazing.

He doesn't get nearly enough appreciation for how special he is as a writer and deliverer of words, full stop. I see 100 Jay-Z albums in the top whatever, all the time, and over-praise for very basic s---, whereas for the most part... Em gets the short-end of the stick, usually because he's white and the hype surrounding him. A lot of these things are written by white writers, and white rap fans are obsessed / paranoid with looking like they're not obsessed with Eminem or thinking he's the greatest, so some go out of their way to downgrade him.

Which is embarrassing

Just say what you feel to be true, if you can back it up, if it's based on what you feel is truth and you can break it down. Some people are f---ing p----'s seriously. Jay, for example, is NOWHERE NEAR Eminem is a writer. No-where-f---ing-near.

the smarter you are irl you realize how good he actually is

 

Sep 19, 2017

every f---ing person on here is old enough to remember that but apparently not everyone is old enough to not let the artist dictate what's good and what's bad

 

Sep 19, 2017

you can't call Relapse trash when you have Rich Homie Quan's face as an avy

Jay-Z slander in favor of Eminem outside a Youtube comment section, not posted by someone with a Minecraft profile picture and numbers on their username? Something's not right.

In what universe are k--- you, Marshall Mathers, Drug Ballad, Till I Collapse, The Way I Am, I'm Back, Amityville, Remember Me, White America, Say Goodbye Hollywood, My Dad's Gone Crazy, Sing for the Moment, Without Me, Square Dance, Stimulate, Role Model, I'm Shady, Guilty Conscience, Rock Bottom, Still Don't Give a f---, Hellbound, I Remember, The Sauce, Nail in the Coffin, Bully, Quitter, If I Get Locked up Tonight, Don't Approach Me, Bad Influence, and his Devil's Night verses overrated? Under whose s-----y subjective opinion??

 

Sep 19, 2017

you lost me when you put Relapse under the terrible tier and therefore your opinion is irrelevant

 

Sep 19, 2017

f--- off Starnizzy

 

Sep 19, 2017

Idk, sometimes I go back and relisten to his first three albums and still feel they are great.
However everyone has certain taste of music and it keeps on changing with time. Maybe you grew out of your Eminem phase, but him being overrated is just an opinion

 

Sep 25, 2017

I'd be listening those albums loud in car with open windows idgaf

I'd say Eminem is the better lyricist of the two but Jay-Z is one of the most intelligent lyricists of all time and a top 5 MC without any doubt. Prime Jay-Z would make light work of Eminem nowadays.

 

Sep 20, 2017

Rap on the whole has aged s-----y which is why I can barely stand it these days. But Em's talent back in the day (esp. in 2000-2001) was, and still is, undeniable. Even if much (most?) of the content seems dated, immature, whatever, his effortless, rhythmically precise vocal delivery, insatiable hunger and creative passion (I think of Amityville in particular) back then still leaves me speechless to this day. The production on MMLP and Devil's Night, too, holds up very well imo.

 

Sep 19, 2017

Very overrated.

No other artist who's still alive and isn't retired could be mediocre to terrible for 15 years and still be a regular in the GOAT conversations.

Yeah, I love Encore.
