I'm not a fan of hip hop/rap. It just doesn't appeal to me. I avoid Eminem's music because I simply don't like it.
However, I prefer Eminem to other artists in this genre like Nelly, Will Smith and Lil' Bow Wow. |

Yes, they are... his lyrical skills are only matched by the old-school style hip-hop... but his actual lyrics ( f this and f that) leave nothing to be desired, AFAIC.. If you want proper hip-hop, try Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Run DMC, that sorta stuff |

The only reason he says all that about his wife and his mum and stuff is to get popular, its different so ppl think "this is good". He's a money making "rapper" some of his songs are cool, i must addmit.

| i dont care what he writes. the media makes him look so in controversial. and that is really gay. he just writes what he feels and is damn in good at it. negros from the zulu nation just cant cope with the fact that hes on top now. so jelous |

Likewise.
I'm not much for today's rap scene and after seening '8 Mile' I have a different opinion about him.
I think he understands what people want to hear and hey, being controversial sells...just look at what it's done for Madonna.
It's part business and part of who he is.
It's a smart music business move being coated by the great corporate machine to punch out the bucks...
It's part of who he is because rapping is his bag, and he's good at it.
At least I can stomach his stuff... |

eminem found commercial success without buying in to the whole big-blingin, thug-4-life image. that alone deserves major props. everyone on the board is mad at his "nobody listens to techno" line. hahaha.... that kind of reaction is exactly what made him rich. he's a genius.

Eminem is a pawn, a tool of the money-making corporations that created him.
I have no idea as to his rapping abilities or whatever as I have jack knowledge of these areas (rap does not interest me in the slightest....).
I feel sorry for him in a way, the way that he is forced to swear and do/say stupid things to get attention and sell albums. If the music is really that good, let it speak for itself, rather than swear and offend for itself.
Do a search, I remember a long thread titled "The Eminem Show" a few months back that had some pretty intelligent discussion in it (if u have a serious flame retardant :))
Just my $0.02 |
eminem writes his own lyrics AND produces his own tracks. if that's what you called manufactured, then what do you call britney?? i don't know the guy personally, but i do believe that he made it to the big leagues with real talent and hard work. |

my 2 cents.
ok, im pretty damn sure that most of you who hate eminem is because all you ever heard from him was all his ty commerical songs like "slim shady" and "without me" on the radios and MTV. I hate those myself.
I Gotta admit that he got some ty songs but he also got a lot of SERIOUS REAL LIFE THAT HE RAPPED ABOUT.
I.E: Sing for the Moment, Hailie's song, Cleanin' out my closet, stan.
etc.
So after yall heard those songs, u tell yourself "wtf is this? some kinda joke" well i bet 90% of you that hate eminem dont know jack about him all u know is that he raps about killing his wife or whatever.
I do agree that he got some issues but on the other hand I think this guy is one of a kind MC. He got powerful lyrical skills that stands out of the rest of the crowd.
His skills improved vastly in his new album "the eminem show". Songs like Hailie's song is some damn serious stuff. I respect the guy just for that one song on that album but he got a few others on that album that really make sense.
I'd choose eminem all those heavy metal bull (i.e slipknot) and that in fagget marilyn manson.
I'd choose over all those cheezy cant rap artists like p diddy.
*btw, p diddy: u cant rap brotha.:D
**too bad eminem is working with DRE :(. Dre used to be cool. But things changes.
so in conclusion: Eminem for sure got some real skills but also got some serious stupid issues to deal with. I'm for him though coz of the real that he raps about not his bull controversial (i.e hating techno and disco) |
