Jan 28, 2016 Because eminem is a rappers rapper Everyone else makes music for the general population but eminem focused and sometimes over does the technical aspect of rapping Songs you guys say are horrible are only that way because of a lack of content but in other ways they're all still good verses wether the flow delivery rhymes etc
Jan 28, 2016 Eminem isn't these other rappers. Not a single one of these other industry rappers can do what Eminem can do. This is why he as remained consistently relevant when his contemporaries (the rappers who were big in the early 2000s and late 90s) have all but have faded out of relevancy. His sound, cadences, flows, deliveries, rhyme schemes, his broad diversity of content from '99 to 2015, his image, his unspoken role in the overall rap game - its all a completely unique phenomenon. The fact he has remained relevant throughout the years is just incredible - only artists that remain top selling of their genres for decade + are the living legends of those genres. People who go out there way to hate Eminem and people who hop on opinionated bandwagons are treating music the entire wrong way. If Picasso put a painting up in a gallery, you'd sound like a fool to complain because the painting doesn't look like what you are accustomed to seeing from Picasso. Music is the same way. The s--- is still painted by Picasso. Since when it is appropriate to pigeonhole an artist? What good does that do? The artist will explore their craft regardless. That's how you know Eminem is real artist; he continuously is exploring deeper and deeper waters of the craft of rapping. You n----s are acting like Eminem is a phone company who has continuously been selling you dysfunctional products. What the f--- kind of nonsensical way is that to interact with an artist's creation? Eminem, a living legend, out here rapping like he tryna get signed still, rapping like NOBODY else can rap but n----s wanna only gas up Future who half time is mumbling some incoherent bulllshit about all the lean he doesn't even drink. n----s wanna gas up Kendrick, who just dropped an egregiously overrated (that metacritic score is f---ing shameful) faux black empowerment album centered around the industry and corporate america pimping him as an artist, then immediately after release signs a f---in reebok deal (thinking he's gonna fix f---ing g--- related black on black violence with some f---ing overpriced corny shoes), then does a weak remix of f---in bad blood by Taylor Swift. Are you f---ing kidding me? That's the definition of hypocrisy. Kendrick literally doesn't do s--- to actually help minority communities on a tangible institutional and systemic level (cause that's the level where change happens). n----s wanna gas up Drake, who has been recycling the same trash since 2009, who was an actor on Degrassi, who doesn't even write his own music, who is an ACTOR before he is a rapper in the booth, and who can't even really sing. n----s wanna gas up Kanye who promotes his album by doing dumb middle school drama s--- on f---ing twitter, married to the kardashians, promoting his weak a--- "fashion" bs, etc. etc. The real question: WHAT THE f--- HAPPENED TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE HIP-HOP FAN? Or has the urban/youth demographic really devolved into a pool of extremely gullible, f---ing r-----ed blind consumers? How can attempt to marginalize and demean a rapper like Eminem, then turn around a praise these other rappers who wouldn't be anywhere near as famous as they are if social media didn't exist? The art form that is hip-hop music has been so commercialized, its entire image is now like a f---ing reality tv show or some s---. Your average hip-hop fan don't even respect the actual f---ing art of RHYMING words together (which is one of the core foundations of the entire f---ing genre of hip-hop), they don't respect the actual literary dynamic, the poetic element of hip-hop, the writing aspects. n----s only wanna hear what "sounds good" to their small conditioned minds. They don't want to experience art - they just want to be entertained and that's the main issue.
Jan 28, 2016 that was a long post @homeless b---- personally I feel people should give him credit more for his content and songwriting. he's technically crazy but he has a way of telling stories to make you feel a certain way that a lot of others cant. sing for the moment or guts over fear etc
Jan 28, 2016 The best reply I've read since I joined SXN 80. Agree with every word. Finally, someone understands. Thanks !
Jan 28, 2016 The one thing I will admit is that Eminem became complex, and not in a good way. His new rhymes aren't understood by 85% of people. They're way too difficult to understand sometimes. For example, in older Eminem songs I can understand way more words than in songs like Raw, or All I Think About. Is the production better in Row? Yes. Contentwise? No. It's a 43 year old man trying to pretend to be old Shady, but it doesn't work. He just can't use his old style anymore. He needs something new. That new was Recovery, but it's not as great as it used to be, so it's just the way it is. He's getting older. Considering new artists, I think it's just the time era that changed. Every generation says "In my days, life was better, music was better, movies were better", so that's how we are. We have touched 1996-2004 cultural era, and we didn't spend our good old high school days listening to Drake or Wayne. Although, I do like new era hip hop because I want to relax after a long day and listen to simple rhymes and hooks with a loud bass. I think IYARTITL by Drake is actually a great album, and the best direction for Eminem to go to would be the singing-rapping album, like in Twisted, STIW, Our House, Kings Never Die singing parts (they were cool), etc.
Jan 28, 2016 because he is the cemented goat objectively and people hate that dropped best verse of 2015 at 40+ years lmao
Jan 28, 2016 True, I dare any rapper in the industry, to come with story telling like any one of these songs: 1- Stan 2- Fine Line 3- Mocking Bird 4- Stay Wide Awake 5- Legacy 6- 3rd verse of Beautiful 7- Deja Vu 8- Space Bound (Where Eminem goes to the past and talks to himself and his GF who he killed, So Deep) 9- Love You More and many songs.
Jan 28, 2016 If you're being serious then I agree, Drake can never bring Eminem's emotions in 3rd verse. If you're being sarcastic/trolling then eat horse s---
Jan 28, 2016 said "and many songs." I can't count how many untouchable Em songs. and non of today rappers can produce something like them.
Jan 29, 2016 Your anti Eminem moments are so great for the wrong reasons since you're the guy who bleached his f---ing hair blonde for MMLP2 lol Thread should be changed to why don't forums like Eminem
Feb 6, 2016 Well i put em in your casket Moving past it, it still aint registered yet But you can bet you're legacy they'll never forget The motor city mo-town Hip hop vet, hip hop shop, dreads It don't stop there Yeah, as difficult as it sounds
