I don't get the big deal with Eminem. He's not that special/great. I bet people wouldn't look twice if he wasn't white.
Not saying he's bad, but he doesn't belong anywhere near a top 5 rappers of all time.
quote:
No soul? WTF does that even mean? Is he not ghetto enough for you?
quote:
Tupac had his way with Biggie's girl. That right there tells you who the alpha dog was
quote:
Substance might be a better word. Eminem is the Howard Stern of rap music. He rarely engages you in his music through a sustained narrative, he just keeps you listening to see what he will say next. I guess that is why a few guys in this thread have said they haven't been able to go back and listen to his music as adults. I will say he is very capable of creating music with substance and the song "Renegade" is a perfect example but he has chosen not to throughout his career.

Stan didn't engage you? Lose Yourself didn't engage you? Did you actually listen to his music or are you just pulling **** out of your ass? Those are two unbelievable rap songs. No one else who is in the game now has talent like that (at least no one who is popular).

Nas and Rakim are the best. Everyone else doesn't come close to those two.

Illmatic was the commercial success that Havoc and Prodigy never had.

Illmatic was not considered a great commercial success when it was first released.

But then he does this and you wonder how anybody in the world can outrap him. Or has EVER outrapped him:
