Oct 12, 2015 Eminem was once universally considered the best rapper alive, and since he fell off from that standard he's been under strict criticism. Now it's cool to hate Eminem because that means you have your taste of music that no one's going to dictate (and Eminem was practically dictated in his prime). Hating Eminem today means you're an independent thinker. I've never seen anyone get so lyrically analyzed as Eminem. Every small slip up is magnified to the extreme, while Kanye and the rest get away with all sorts of idiotic lines because they were never put on such a high pedestal lyrics wise as Eminem. Eminem is still good, and to me, better than anyone else. Recovery is a classic along with the first 3 albums, and I believe his next one has that potential too. h---, addressing the hate and falling off is an album concept he could pull off.
Oct 12, 2015 THIS. I saw people complaining about the "what'd you're friends do, spill beans" line. Like seriously have you ever listened to a Drake song? His lyrics are as vague and dull in every line. I'll give credit, he thinks of catchy hooks, but really is that what hip hop has become? A catchy hook and a dope beat?
Oct 12, 2015 Even if Eminem released modern day TES caliber material it would be picked apart to be compared to Shady XV.
Oct 12, 2015 go look at the youtube comments on rap god or the mmlp2 songs. people literally praise him lmao
Oct 12, 2015 And I don't think anyone loves rap and rapping as much as Eminem does. He's rap personified. He seems to have no life outside of rapping. He's so focused on technical aspect of rap, rhyming insane number of syllables (for better or worse), and really enjoying what he does. And that part has consistently been getting better (not counting Encore). He's technically more complex now than ever before, and also fitting an insane number of wordplays. He used to be straightforward with not a lot of word play involved. Whatever you think about him now, you can't deny the guy really loves rap, probably more than any other rapper.
Oct 12, 2015 if em's career started with relapse onward, he wouldn't be top 10 goat but he'd still be top 100 material also
Oct 12, 2015 Honestly, I'm not the one to judge. Eminem is the only rapper I find entertaining, and I've been listening to Eminem since MMLP. Rap may become whatever it becomes, but I'll take Eminem over Drake any day.
Oct 12, 2015 poor guy, he doesn't deserve it, he's been my favorite rapper for so many years and It isn't gonna change
Oct 12, 2015 lmao this is a joke right? since when is em known for his dope beats? MMLP2 was generic as f--- beat wise
Oct 12, 2015 Calm down bud, I was tryin to reply to someone's post about drake but it only showed up as a single post for some reason
