Eminem is trash. Highly overated. People always say sh1t like he's different from everything out but he's the only one who gets a pass and doesnt have to make a club joint to get heavy rotation. There's mounds of mc's out there that have lyrics but most of them cant buy a deal. If you're a ni99a you gotta be on some carbon copy punchline sh1t, club banger sh1t, or some joint for the ladies sh1t. But then they wanna praise Em for his varied subject matter like all ni99as can rap about is money, clothes, hoes etc. Tell Jimmy Iovine to sign somebody and not force they hand to make that radio single and let them "do them". Even Dre tried to make the God Rakim "bring the guns out". Neverless none would sell as much as Em but we would get to see mc's who have more to rhyme about then what gets played on the radio. Plus most of Em's fans aren't even hiphop fans, he get's no play in the hood unless he featured on a joint w/ someone else. NOBODY I know owns an Eminem album.

I don't get how ya'll hatin on him so much. Just forget about it.
Basically you're doing exactly what he wants you to do: talk about him.
To tell the truth, I find Em's stuff kind of refreshing once and a while
since it's not the same cookie cutter formula of so many other rap videos.
I like it when I can watch a rap video and laugh at the humor.
Oh ya, and someone a few posts back was dissin Em, and upping Kayne,
in one of the scratch mags, Kanye admits to trying to steal Em's disk of
beat samples while he was in the can or something. That's just gay...

I didn't read all the posts in this thread but I thought I'd add my 02. to the convo. Eminem is a clown, that bein' said, Em's flow is flowers' crazy, his lyrics....... I don't pay too much attention to what he's sayin'(some of that shit is funny tough) but like I said, it's his flow that is sick.
For example, I'm listenin' to the Blueprint bootleg and "Renegade" comes on, so I'm listenin and then I hear what I thought was a broad(didn't know Em was on it) and I thought to myself DAMN!!!! who is this biitch killin' this track better than Jay did? So I figure out it's Em after a couple of listens and I had a new found respect for him.
All that bein said, it's ALL subjective, cats like what they like and that's realy all that's to it.

true talk... outland talkin about a cookie cutter formula but only a white mc can break out of the formula and sell like em does and the rest are forced to conform to whatever the label and the powers that be want to market him as...

I see what you're sayin, but I don't totally agree with it having to be a white man or anything. Like, I'd say another MC thats sort of breaking out of the formula and adding a little humor would be Ludacris.

does it matter or do all your opinions make it matter?
really, i hate ems newer beats, all of them.........but there is no dening his flow and ability to put together songs.
is jay z really that good? or is it all hype and the fact that everyone thinks hes so good that make him good?
Im not hating on either of them, but really, even though they are "the best" they still arent my favorite MCs....so what is good? how much they sell? or how much everybody else likes them? or what the TV says?
or what you **** like?!

I don't agree....but i feel you on this...I think it's cuz Em has more content/emotion/subjects that are identifiable with many people from many crowds....

CoooCooo1 - I agree..... Em's first verse on renegade is what i would tell anyone to listen to if they think eminem is wack...... truth be told... (and i'm just speakin my point of view...i know someones gonna come back and try to prove me wrong which is fine) but Eminem's rhyme structure is insane.....If you listen to Renegade...listen to the way he rhymes his Syllables...not just words....... Listen to the whole verse and listen to every word that has the Oooh sound ...he emphasizes every one.
"WHO could enherit the title, put the yOUth in hysterics, Usin his mUsic to steer is sharin his vIEWs and his merits, but there's a hUge interference they're sayin yOU shouldnt hear it........"
and it goes on the whole verse....its **** poetic.....
I dont know....i just feel that eminem is a masterful writer.....and above all...thats themost important thing to me when it comes down to looking at someone who calls themselves an EmCee ....
Just had to get my two penny's in their too...

Em has skillz no one in their right mind can deny that, I think people just get salty cuz if he was Black rapping about that lyrical shit he would get no pub, the white radio would be like aww ni gga you better get a gimmick like being shot 9 times, but even Eminem admits that being white has helped him blow up a lot, so it's not like he's in denial, and yeah I'm sorry but Just Lose It is trash,but he can do that theres a lot more white people than Blacks in this country so he automatically has a bigger fan base that can relate to him, like I know white dudes that having nothing but rock cd's, you know Nirvana, Linkin Park all that shit and then have one rap CD, Eminem, which is understandable if thats what you relate too,what does piss me off however is fake ass MTV is all on his nuts put him like 3rd on the all time greatest rappers list,don't even got Ludacris on the list, I bet you in a couple years they have his ass number one, try to call him the king of hip-hop,like people called Elvis the King of Rock n' Roll after he took shit from Black folks, I'm not trying to sound all sad like Pete Rock, but this is real talk for 2005, Em has some good songs and hella skillz I think he's just overrated

why do people act like he stole hiphop or something?^^^^^^^what did he steal? Did he like, steal other rappers money? or did he earn respect that other rappers couldnt; i bet you its a lot harder being "eminem" than it is jay z.
