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

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.

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--k 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--king shameful) faux black empowerment album centered around the industry and corporate america pimping him as an artist, then immediately after release signs a f--king reebok deal (thinking he's gonna fix f--king g--- related black on black violence with some f--king overpriced corny shoes), then does a weak remix of f--king bad blood by Taylor Swift. Are you f--king 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--king twitter, married to the kardashians, promoting his weak a--- "fashion" bullshyt, etc. etc.

The real question: WHAT THE f--k HAPPENED TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE HIP-HOP FAN?
Or has the urban/youth demographic really devolved into a pool of extremely gullible, f--king 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--king reality tv show or some s---. Your average hip-hop fan don't even respect the actual f--king art of RHYMING words together (which is one of the core foundations of the entire f--king 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.

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---

Because he is continuing to ruin his legacy by being awkward, also his humor is stale and not as funny as it was back then.
