    Just sounds like you have a weak/narrow view of rap to me

    He thinks rap music is Eminem. Maybe yelawolf and Royce too. Those 3 are the only rappers that exist.

    Agree. I don't even hate Eminem, I like some of the stuff he put out after TES, but some stans make it so hard to defend him lmao.

    And yeah I totally get that some people are not into thug: the dude is creative as h---, but also very unique and its totally fine if you don't like him -I like him but not all of his stuff tbh- but the stuff like ''you don't know reel rap!!!' Is soooooo lame

    Think it's been known that recent Eminem has been some succ. Yeah he'd have some great tracks here and there, but overall he's most definitely a shell of his former self. With that being said though, fucc P4K.

    Btw lol @ having to understand music completely to enjoy is. There are so many songs that I don't get the first time, its about enjoyment for me. M&m has many 'meaningful' songs but if its s--- musically I don't care for it. How can you not vibe to good times but do enjoy won't back down lol

    Sorry for changing the topic here but I've never been a fan of thugger except for a couple of tracks here and there. But with Jeffery he took a different turn, any of you guys still listening to thugger try Jeffery its pretty cool tbh

    See, this is perfectly fine. I didn't like him at first either. Had to get used to his weird voice. But after I gave him a chance I liked more and more of his music.

    that goes both ways tho.. its equally lame to say if we dont agree that people listen to 3 rappers or defend Εm cause they re stans.. Why is it difficult to understand that we have different tastes? I'll talk about myself now and i dont like thug at all but that doesnt mean i cant listen to other things.. thugs music just isnt for me.. how can this mean that i only listen to em? lol

    In my original post I already said that the whole discussion is overdone and lame, both sides sometimes

    absolutely. I hate going into a thread and seeing em hate and when I go back and see it stemmed from an irrelevant comment made by some random stan about how Eminem's the greatest or how he has the best sales and s---

    :colerly:

    Edit: no idea why some parts are bolded

    i don't see how someone can unironically say that young thug isn't better than eminem in the last twelve years. regardless of how you feel about his music, he has changed the landscape of rap as we know it and he will go down as a future legend. the only thing eminem has over him is the fact that he can rhyme words better than him, which is really pathetic.

    Well, in case you haven't noticed 99% of Stans literally only listen to Eminem/shady artists. The same people are also experts on music, art, young thug music and lil Wayne music. even though they know absolutely nothing about them.

    I remember hearing barter six and deleting it after the first listen. It's pretty bad.

    And lol @Soldier thinking that Thug is better than Kendrick when Kendrick drops an album full out s-----y leftovers and it still manages to sound better than every thug album ever.
