Eminem and Nas are both far above average rappers. Any one that doesn't recognize this is viewing hip hop from an extremely unusual bias.

Bulldog 01-02-2010 12:47 AM

I think Eminem works more as a COUNTRY star.

Here me out on thism the subject matter, if examined by itself and not paired with its delivery, is country. Family problems? Living in a trailer? Generally being a white trash piece of sh*t? Sounds like country to me.

That being said, the presentation is made in rap format. With rapping and rap instrumentals and such, but, while New Boyz are "rap" alot of people consider them to be pop. So wouldn't the same thing work for Eminem?

Eminem = country content in rap format.

Is that an "I just had an epiphony, I agree" silence or a "Wow, you're retarded" silence?

rakim > all

pac is overrated, so is biggie. nas only has 2 good albums, jay-z has 2/3.

i enjoy early eminem, and the newest tracks off refill werent terrible. his newer songs are mostly ruined by sung choruses and awful beats from dre. yes, dre's beats are getting incredibly stale, and are the same awful keyboard rhythms.

Imo Zaytoven is the best producer of all time.

exredhouseresident 01-02-2010 02:07 AM

Lil Wayne and Jay-Z conjointly hold that title.

Jaundice 01-02-2010 02:07 AM

Lil Wayne is easily one of the most under-rated MCs.

Bulldog 01-02-2010 02:09 AM

Lil Wayne is OVER-rated if anything. imo

Jaundice 01-02-2010 02:12 AM

Depends who you ask about him, half the people over rate him and the other half under rate him.

Bulldog 01-02-2010 02:13 AM

Eh, in my POV

65% overrate him
15% rate him just right
20% underrate him

Raventhon 01-02-2010 06:11 AM

Dunno, I think Relapse was his best album yet. He's got an excellent flow and many of his songs are deeply personal, something you don't really get to see much in mainstream hip-hop.

I'm pretty much a huge sucker for people putting personal **** into their raps, though, as Reef the Lost Cauze, Viro the Virus, and Slug of Atmosphere are three of my favorite rappers.

illmitch 01-02-2010 09:05 AM

i thought i was the only person who thought eminem was overrated, thank god

the best rapper to put personal **** in his raps, ever, is z-ro. no question about it.

Kyle 01-02-2010 10:27 AM

Anybody into Eminem's pre Slim Shady LP material?

I love this track.

Raventhon 01-02-2010 10:29 AM

Don't laugh, but I've never heard of z-ro. What album should I go get?

illmitch 01-02-2010 10:36 AM

haha no worries. check out Let the Truth Be Told or The Life of Joseph W. McVey

Freddie Gibbs is the most personal rapper ever.

illmitch 01-02-2010 01:17 PM

i like freddie gibbs but so far he hasn't done anything to rival z-ro in my book

Bulldog 01-02-2010 01:22 PM

Senim Silla or One Be Lo.

[QUOTE=Jaundice;17729152]Lil Wayne is easily one of the most under-rated MCs.[/QUOTE]

I can't see that. He's got a lot of bullshit rhymes people adore the **** out of.

Yea, he was like a white, more violent G Rap back then. Infinite is a dope *** cd too. Can't see why he hasn't rereleased that album.

usmanity 01-03-2010 11:18 PM

Eminem is a successful artist.

He seems to be just in the media for releasing his new music but really, all his older stuff is insanely good.

There are a lot of other artists who are way overrated than Eminem.

Shindleria Praematurus 01-03-2010 11:24 PM

Eminem definitely got famous a little too much. That **** with Sasha queerboy Coe-hen was a little too much. Eminem flows hard on tracks when people need it.

someguest 01-03-2010 11:31 PM

Bulldog's lul'n up a storm.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 03:15 PM

That song Underground on the Relapse cd gives me hope that EM still has it. Eminem needs anger and hopefully Mariah has provided him with that.

Gattsu347 01-05-2010 03:23 PM

This guy dont play^^

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 04:17 PM

I will ****in kill you

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 07:47 PM

Shut your goddamn mouth, Decker. You're a wuss and you know it. I'd say now is about the time to come out of the closet.

edit: Also you need to get out of my state and move back to your home. I'm betting you're from Nebraska, but no money on that - - just a gentleman's bet.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:07 PM

I will murder you!!!!!

For real dude. For real.

California is a pile of dirt and it sucks you can have it, im only here temporarily.

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:12 PM

Exactly, wuss. GET OUT ALREADY.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:13 PM

I seriously have muscles. For real

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:14 PM

Muscles in the wrong places. Honda's are for little kids & women.

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:18 PM

If you were a native California-brah you would have known that already. Go home now.

I'll say 'please' if you want me to do that.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:18 PM

Big muscles.

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:20 PM

Decker like becker, but you are not a track wrecker
mess up your neck more like Spock, the Star Trekker

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:24 PM

Your state has AIDS

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:25 PM

Your next girlfriend does, watch out for that.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:26 PM

I pull out stupid

Led_Zep_Bonham 01-05-2010 09:28 PM

You're worthless.

DeckerDontPlay 01-05-2010 09:31 PM

Lets hug it out bro bro
