At the turn of the century, Eminem was the most misunderstood person in hip-hop ever. Even to this day, he's somewhat misunderstood. I'm not talking about Encore or Re-Up. Anybody remember The Marshall Mathers LP? In 2000, people were saying, "Oh, this is awful!! Eminem's promoting violence, misogyny, and homophobia!! Omigod, my son just told his teacher the 'F' word!! It's Eminem's fault!!! My sweet boy wasn't cussing until Eminem came along!!! He's an abomination!! Ban him!! Ban him!!" or "This WHITE boy takes rap away from all of these black and Latino rappers! Even though they're sellouts, they deserve more notoriety than this WHITE boy!! This WHITE boy is racist!!!". In 2007, here's what people say: "What's the big deal? This is just shock value rap. Eminem sucks." or "All of Em's violent raps are gimmicky and lame. I hate that stuff, so if you excuse me, I'm gonna listen to my favorite album; Mr. Scarface Is Back and Bacdafucup.". With all due respect to all you Eminem haters, please shut the hell up about things you don't understand. I'm not saying that everybody has to like Eminem, but some people pick incredibly stupid reasons to hate the dude. First of all, those oh-so-lovable non-fans seem to use Marshall Mathers to justify their off-the-wall reason that rap is gay. So here's your logic by the way I see it. Talking about graphic violence, disrespecting women, and drug abuse in your music is totally lame, unless it's all over some fucked up guitar riff, right? Then it's cool, right, you hypocritical motherfuckers? For people who seem to hate Eminem or hip-hop in general, y'all seem to "listen" to both a lot. What's the hell's the matter with y'all? Too much time on your hands or what? I got something for y'all to do. Go to your garage and drink some antifreeze so y'all can bug Satan with your closemindedness and snobbiness. "That emo rocker I love so much told me hell was scarier!! You're gay, Satan". With all those chumps in hell, now I can get at the anti-Slim Shady hip-hop fans. Do y'all wanna know why Eminem became so famous? I'll tell you why. First of all, it was because Dr. Dre

Sucks lol. Eminem is a boomer. Go back to Wyoming.

Never really enjoyed this album, but I'd be wrong to say that The Way I Am and Kim aren't absolutely phenomenal tunes.

[QUOTE=LordDargon]I think he was trying to say (In his distorted, mongoloid way) that I was lagging behind on the conversation.
In that case, I will have to quote the review so his single brain cell can crank out an analysis of what it was I posted.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I was pointing out that you were WAY off in your assessment.
Here's the review that you obviously didn't read:

Based upon your track record, I'm going to assume that you're going to fail to read it again, so I'll point out a few important bits in order to aid in understanding the reviewers' thoughts and opinions regarding the album:
[quote=from the review you didn't read]
Perhaps the influence of this album can be put to words by the reader's comment on Q's Top 100 Albums Of All Time. 'It made me give a **** about music again.' That's exactly what this album did for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Before this, I saw music as being one of three things - unintelligible noise, boring, or for little kids. Sometimes all three. Then this album came out.
It still amazes me how well this album did, commercially. It's witty, intelligent, and not easy to listen to. Those aren't qualities you tend to associate with a 15-million seller. Eminem resolutedly HATED pop music. The moment this album dropped, he BECAME pop music. The face of the charts changed. Just as symbolic as Nirvana displacing Michael Jackson, Eminem displaced Britney Spears in the Billboard charts. [/quote]
Sounds like a pretty positive review, eh? Now, let's take a look at what YOU said:
[quote=Your dumb ***]
Eminem! The king, hero, icon, and role-model of all wiggers in the world...

Good work soldier!
[/quote] Now, from a scale of 1-5, 1 being worst, 5 being spot on, how would you rate your assessment of the reviewers' opinions towards the Eminem release? (Hint: the answer isn't from 2-5)
So, yeah...I'd say you were pretty far off.

Easy top 5 rap albums of all-time

Early Em circa 1999 was one of the hottest males in history. Anyone downvoting his work is a beta in denial.
| | |
Yeah I have always felt threatened by him
| | |
“Criminal” is one of Eminem’s best performances
