    this debate isn't going to work because a majority of the people who don't like Em on this forum use the "if you like Em still you need to listen to more rappers" excuse, which is stupid because there are many Em fans to listen to a many different artists. and a majority of the people who are still stans on this forum use the "You're just a hater" excuse, which is equally as stupid since some people just don't like Eminem and/or prefer other artists over him

    this will go in circles.

    I wanna come into the thread and defend em (saying he is overrated in 2015 is asinine imo) but most Eminem fans are the reason people hate him. Like half y'alls reasoning is so dumb.. And you all rarely every get the point I feel like. Then you have people who try entirely too hard to discredit em and refuse to give him props in areas he still shine. But again, Eminem is Eminem for a reason.. He's certainly not overrated in 2015. He's still one of the best pure rappers alive right now.. His issue is soley a sonic issue. He overdoes technical rapping to the point where it is unlistenable. Doesn't make him a worse rapper - just destroys replay value and shrinks his fan base. He's become a one trick pony and lost the total package he once had as an artist. Now he's primarily a rapper, who just raps for the sake of rhyming. Which is cool it's his career he can do what he wants he has 0 to prove to a cluster of 20-30 year olds on a f---ing rap forum who think they know more about rap than the legends who propelled it to what it is.

    not overrated at all, and even if you think he is---you're very much in the minority

    i thought eminem was amazing at this peak--better than most rappers in their prime

    he's obviously not the same anymore, but all rappers fall off eventually

    You do realize some of these comments are from over a decade ago, right? Also, is it really that surprising that artists are complimenting one of the biggest figures in hip-hop history? I mean do you really think it'd be a smart career move for someone like Schoolboy Q to be like "oh yeah, he was great but now he sucks?"

    I actually can't come in this section anymore. All it is is bitter stans who now don't even post discussion points they just post 'proof' Eminem is the best because no one listened to their horseshit posts that derailed another thread. Looks like you're probably going on ignore as well @trivio

    Meaning that technically, just as far as rhyming goes, as far as being an emcee, he's still the best. But he's really lost his ability to translate that talent into making good songs consistently.

    not overrated, not underrated... overhated to a degree at this point.

    but seeing people who don't like Em argue with people who adore Em is such a headache

    Not overrated. No other artist started their career with three undeniable classics (plus another classic from his group with Devil's Night) then followed that up with a classic movie and soundtrack. There's no way you can say 1999-03 Eminem is overrated. Post-hiatus Em is still the best overall rapper in the game even though his content has fallen off drastically.

    That's usually how music debates pan out in general. Very rarely do you see both sides come to an understanding. Still, if people want to discuss, let them discuss. That's the point of the forum, isn't it?
