ive been listening to all of his old stuff alot lately, and ive come to the conclusion that he seriously one of the most lyrically gifted rappers ever. he can be serious, angry as fuck, calm, and he also has some of the funniest rhymes ive ever heard. personally, i think he doesnt get enough credit for exactly how good he is.

My Name Is - Eminem. for those of you who havent heard.

i dont really like eminem.  im really shocked to see all these kids in here giving him props.  to me he is just a mediocre rapper like 50 or something.  ill listen if it comes on, but i wouldnt choose to listen to that music

i dont think eminem is new to depression. i think hes been depressed for a long time.

btw he probably is one of the greatest rappers of all time. first off hes white. second when one of his songs comes on it makes you pay attention. not because of some catchy beat, cuz of his lyrics.  third he can rap about anything. his new shit doesnt suck its just different topics. different times in his life. eminem showed rappers you can rap about killing your bitch girlfriend, getting aids, raping bitches, suicide etc etc.... then he often plays multiple roles him and someone else....not many people can pull that off.


"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..

may 20-im having a relapse

and em is definitelay the best rapper of all time.
Anyone who doesnt give props to him in this thread hasnt heard any of his underground shit or a bunch of other random songs hes featured in
Yes his new music definately isnt as good as his old music but its still better than lil wayne and all that shit

Lil wayne is a true hustler, if you don't like him you don't know much about rap, or marketing for that matter. Of course Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time, its silly to think any other way

i don't think Vinnie Paz is anywhere near the level Eminem is. Lyrically He's not even the best MC in Jedi Mind imo.

His newest single would suggest "no", but he had the whole thing locked 9 or 10 years ago.

That track off of Soundbombing II, "Any Man", was just on another level. I didn't really like much of anything off of that independent release...what's it called? Infinite? But damn..."I Just Don't Give a Fuck", shit he did with Royce, and on and on were absolute flames.

Defs one of the greatest, his freestyle skills are amazing, although some of his songs aren't the greatest.  Lose yourself is one of hte best pump up songs.  I don't mind his new stuff but its defs not as good as his early songs.

most of the comments so far have been stupid (including mine)

Eminem is not one of the greatest rappers.  He just isn't, end of discussion. 

But when you compare him (skill wise) to the general rap-comunity you hear on the radio, he actually has some legit skill on the mic.  So, my conclusion is that he is alright.  To put in NS's music choice terms, he is better than lil wayne but no biggie.

whats funny is his songs get better the farther back in time you go

these are my favorite songs of Infinate, but the whole CD is amazing.

wow what a coincidence; i was just thinking the same thing earlier today and i hadn't seen this thread. i heard him on the radio, and i was like oh shit back in the day i would listen to him, so i went and found all this eminem stuff and i was once again amazed. he's the greatest rapper; he has the most intense meaningful songs, each with it's on voice and personality, witty rhymes, good beats, superb lyrics. it's crazy that each thing he does has it's own mood and tends to tell a story; it's like he's a whole new person in each song, but all these characters wrapped into one. oh but he's fucked up for sure, as far as his life and a lot of the themes he's rapped about.

I effing can't wait for the relapse to drop in may, it has been way to long without some new stuff from him, and check out the re-up. He did some good work on their with a whole bunch of people on his label

My favorite rapper for sure. I remember listening to his old shit back when i wasnt allowed to listen to him. Shit just never gets old. Def one of the best, lyrics speak for themself/

"I'm like a head trip to listen to , cause I'm only giving you things you joke about with your friends inside your living room, the only difference is i got the balls to say it infront of y'all and I dont got to be false or sugar coat it at all."

"I'm sorry there must be a mix up, you want me to fix up lyrics while the president gets his dick sucked? Fuck that take drugs, rape sluts, make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make up. Get aware, wake up, get a sense of humour. Quit tryin to censor music this is for your kids amusement. But dont blame me when little eric jumps off the terrace. You should of been watchin him, apparently you aint parents."

None of eminems new shit is gay, and the word "gay" doesnt really fit the proper explination. Yeah crack a bottle and all those other songs that are featuring like 6 different artists arent so good, but he has already said he makes those songs just to show that he can sell it. Its all for the publicity, if you think any of his shit is "gay" then you obviously dont listen to emienem that much or know his music at all. 4 years later and slims still going to go platinum the first week his album drops.

personally i think his new stuff pretty much sucks. Encore and relapse have like mabye 2 good songs on them each. and its not because i don't listen to eminem that much, i accually have been bumpin infinte in my cd for the past 2 weeks straight. Pretty much when eminem started using that gay ass acent and "IN DA CLUB" beats, his music droped bigtime. if you listen to relapes, he really has no flow throughout the album.
