Eminem sucks:| Have you actually heard his music lately? He's making trash music with G-Unit. He is one of the people destroying hip hop. Nas and Jay-Z are the ones keepin' hip hop truly alive, along with the great underground artists.
lmao at Em keeping rap alive:lol:
i dont agree with the statement about him being the only person keeping rap alive but he is definately one of the big contributors, if you only listen to his cds and not the ones hes on just to promote d12 or gunit he still has a lot to say and he still does it in his own interesting way...No, his CD's are garbage. He makes stupid ass songs like "Smack That" :| That ish is NOT keeping hip hop alive at all, he isn't helping rap at all. He brought G-Unitto the world. I fail to see how that's helping hip hop, along with all the mediocre to terrible albums he's released(Encore, anybody?)
Smack that is Akon ft. Eminem i do believe and his songs are him speaking his mind and not caring about what people think about what he has to say. He spits out the stories from his life and his viewooints on the world and does it in the most upfront way possible. Thats rap.But he still sucks:| Encore was a garbage album, all his G-Unit stuff he's helped make is garbage, and all the verses he's spit lately are garbage. And it doesn't help when he's collabing with garbage artists like Akon. You think Em is great? Look up the lyrics to "Fack" or "Just Lose It". Two songs from his albums that are complete and utter garbage in every sense of the word. If Em wasn't white he wouldn't be getting all this credit, plain and simple. The most overrated rapper of ALL TIME.
Look up the lyrics to his serious songs and dont generalize his rap to the more lighthearted crap that you are using as examples. Im not saying hes the greatest ever, but he is a great wether you think hes overrated because he is white or not. I could say the same thing about Donovan Mc being overrated as a qb because he is black but even though some of his hype comes from the fact that he is a black qb doesnt make that statement true. Deep down he is a great player, just like if you look past all the color with em you will see someone who is a great rapperI don't dislike Em cus he's white, I dislike him cus I dislike him, period. I've never been a fan of his music, ever, and I doubt I ever will be. But it IS fact that if Eminem were black, he would NOT be gettin' all the credit he gets right now. I see people placin' him above people like Rakim, Nas, Kool G Rap, LEGENDARY rappers who he can't even come close to. That pisses me off.
Plus, I never found Em to be great, period. I fail to see how someone that has never produced a cl.assic album, while producing a few mediocre and one awful album, is a great rapper. Overrated.
i wasnt tryin to say you didnt like him cause hes white i was just adressing what you said about him being overrated, dont worry im not sensitive about race issues lol. His defining album is the Marshall Mathers LP, and it is considered to be a classic by many. His music, like any other kind of music is something you have to be able to relate to in order to get it. If you dont relate to the lyrics, then you just will not care. Its all opinion, but he has reached a lot of people that otherwise wouldnt ever have given rap a chance, thus becoming one of the greats. i dont think he places over he rappers you have listed either but i wouldnt ever say that he sucks just because im not a big fan of his music personally. He was and is influential to hip hop.OK, I get what your tryin' to say:) Maybe that's why I never liked Em, I never could relate to any of his lyrics.
