plus side: if there is no real beat, he can't sound out of place on it

down side: you have to listen to just eminem for eight minutes straight

yeah it came up on the YouTube front page, it's just straight barz

HYPE

Not particularly interesting, but I guess it get his point across by focusing on the lyrics

"The rapper also announced plans to drop a follow up to 2013's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 on his Twitter account."

oh no.

Fuck this goes hard af

blah blah

Yeah tbh this is his best song in a loooong time, most of the rhymes actually make sense instead of just being a bunch of random bullshit

The more I listen to it, the less it sounds like a Trump diss. Most of it barely focuses on him. Still, the bars and wordplay are impressive

Glad to hear that Eminem is still the official poet of the genre.

He has some good songs on his newer records, like Bad Guy.

"Glad to hear that Eminem is still the official poet of the genre."

what the fuck

^aka someone who doesn't listen to rap

@Cygnatti Fuck yeah I like rap. Still don't have as much as I should, but I definitely do (from time to time).

Kendrick is a poet, Eminem became a shit show with a couple of good songs amongst terrible songs.

Yeah wouldn't exactly call Eminem a poet by any means

@Faraudo Can't fully agree with that, but yeah, his past few albums weren't that good...

Yeah maybe a poet is too far, but he has great wordplay.

"Glad to hear that Eminem is still the official poet of the genre."
exactly how many rappers have you heard?

it was a joke, but also kinda not. and fuck, why is kendrick even mentioned here. can we not?

Well, Kendrick is a pretty good example of a poet that raps, in spite of Eminem being shit for the last 10 years.

"Glad to hear that Eminem is still the official poet of the genre."

fucking lol

the closest thing to a poet em has ever been is on his early stuff, and even that is more like attending a poetry slam with a shotgun

"Well, Kendrick is a pretty good example of a poet that raps, in spite of Eminem being shit for the last 10 years."

[...!!!}

Em stans amaze me sometimes lol. Desus and Mero had a hilarious take on this song. Basically ripped into him and his fans in the funniest way

Youtube: "this song could literally end Trumps campaign like he ended Fred Durst's music career"

Yeah Stans are the worst

eminem still makes music lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqkN6NVaggs

em fans like gee wiz what a wordsmith

Black Aesop Rock

i thought eminem died with encore

We need more hillary diss tracks

"Black Aesop Rock"

first thing that came to my mind was aesop lol

its clipping bitch.

5.0 classic
50 Cent Get Rich or Die Tryin'

This song really highlights what I don't really like about the way Eminem rhymes.

on infinite he was poetic or at least trying to be

Kendrick is not the poet of the genre. Eminem is not the poet of the genre.

The question is: who is? Rap blows right now (and maybe always has?/ has never been as good as it should be?) but I find it strange there is a shortage of truly poetic rappers out there. i guess its because they would tend to pursue different styles of music that have greater concentration on emotion conveyed by other instruments/singing and thus wouldn't be rappers? whatever the case is, rap is young and after it gets over this hurdle of bullshit gang-banging/sex/fame/popularity/money/drugs infatuation, it will probably be awesome, as it is at very rare times now for me.

In regards to this vid, pretty good but probably never going to listen to it again.

It's like the people here don't even listen to rap despite constantly having huge albums pushed to the forefront of this site.

I wasn't serious with the whole calling him a poet thing. Fucking lol guys

Rap ain't poetry at all although there's some wicked shit out there. m/

man eminem fucking STINKS

This M&Ms dude is trying way too hard to get on that Lin Manuel-Miranda level

"Rap blows right now (and maybe always has?/ has never been as good as it should be?)" - MegaResurrectedJake4

this thread is bad

He sounds so different, it's weird. Also he referenced Kendrick with the spray tan line

"Rap ain't poetry at all"

brb or not gotta play Russian roulette after reading that


before I go I will say this freestyle was like a 3/5 if it was an amateur so idk where it can even rate since it's Eminem.

Ok first of, trying to find one "definitive poet" in an entire genre with decades of built diversity is idiotic and only limits your scope of discovery. Second of holy FUCK your comment.

There's a lot of good rap out there atm imo

stop this thread2016

Trump is too easy of a target, theres no challenge

and it was one line in 8 minutes but let's make sure to include that in the headline!

There's* no challenge, agreed.

"5.0 classic
50 Cent Get Rich or Die Tryin'"

I hope u restocked ur ratings biatch

Bring it boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I wish he would just stop screaming.

lol

BallsDeep > Eminem

Ian > Trump

dissing trump is the new planking

thread is fucking cancer

bars are fucking class

'its clipping bitch.' x2

Haha, too accurate

50 cent > eminem
tbh

˄ no tbh

My god this thread is awful!

Eminem is still a technically excellent rapper but the problem is he's had nothing different to say for ages and most of his beats have sucked recently. If he actually has something to rap about and gets decent production then he could still release a top album but it's unlikely IMO for a super rich middle aged dude to have anything to really rap about.

Thread is hilarious tbh

I mean

after listening, good on him for such a minimal beat I guess, and he's still technically on par with some of the best of em, and the fact that he still knows how to rhyme words for 8 minutes straight is impressive

but it's lines like "hands cuppin my nuts" and shit like that that reminds me that really, he needs more interesting topics to discuss. like really, trump slander? wow man, crazy. its sad that he fits so well in the pop rap niche, cause if dude got on some more experimental beats, and discussed some different topics, he could make something REALLY good

"Bring it boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

there are more pressing matters itt like quoting this future classic

"Rap blows right now (and maybe always has?/ has never been as good as it should be?)"

but i'll just leave this here

4.5 superb
Aesop Rock The Impossible Kid

Pretty sure Fred Durst's career was killed by a number of factors, none of them being Eminem.
1. Wes Borland left the band and they couldn't settle on a decent replacement hence 3 albums worth of material was scrapped and then cobbled together for Results May Vary
2. Nu Metal was dying anyway
3. Durst wanted to go into independent movie directing. He's directed some good music videos but his movies are meh.
4. Durst's ego

None of them had anything to do with Eminem

I wonder if this track was in anyway influenced by Clipping.

I'm so meh at all the songs artists are making about trump. It's lazy as fuck. Everyone knows he's batshit; you're not informing anyone of anything. If anything you're immortalizing him with all your dumb shit. Just stop it.

i want a rapper to spit about the national debt and interest on the debt

@Starless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvuyWv6xYWA not quite....but kind of close

DUDE THATS LIT THANKS

Lol he thinks Aesop is good oh man you sure got him

"whatever the case is, rap is young and after it gets over this hurdle of bullshit gang-banging/sex/fame/popularity/money/drugs infatuation, it will probably be awesome"

Would be the exact opposite actually

"Lol he thinks Aesop is good oh man you sure got him"

4.5 Superb
Aesop Rock Labor Days
Aesop Rock Skelethon

Lol I think Aesop is good oh man you sure got me

anybody with an aesop rating above a 4 gets the automatic side eye in hip hop discussions

Why

because theyre more susceptible to making comments like this

"The question is: who is? Rap blows right now (and maybe always has?/ has never been as good as it should be?) but I find it strange there is a shortage of truly poetic rappers out there. i guess its because they would tend to pursue different styles of music that have greater concentration on emotion conveyed by other instruments/singing and thus wouldn't be rappers? whatever the case is, rap is young and after it gets over this hurdle of bullshit gang-banging/sex/fame/popularity/money/drugs infatuation, it will probably be awesome, as it is at very rare times now for me."

Oh yeah I forgot that opinions don't exist and if someone likes something more than you they just "don't understand hip-hop, maaaan"

Also you can't strawman Aesop fans to make them seem like they think hip-hop is "gangbanger bullshit that was never that great anyway", the one person who made that comment doesn't even have any Aesop albums rated ffs

anyway ur taking this too seriously, i was just joking with my man Ghost

My car.... and my guitar

Congrats mega you've left me speechless

so bad, grow up eminem

ive never seen so many stereotypes of eminem fans so concentrated in one place

one of the most annoying voices in hip hop now.. tha fuck.

Even I know the hip hop scene is doing pretty well and I know nothing about hip hop. Gotta be a troll, hip hop's always been about gang bangin and all that jazz.

"so bad, grow up eminem"

said the 12 yo on the internet to the 44 year old

Goes in

Lol at all the edgy people saying eminem's wordplay is whack.

Well at least it's not another one of his bland ass radio pop rap songs that'd make me want to jump out a building after hearing it for the thousandth time. It's got that going for it, I guess.

Lol at all the people whose only hip hop ratings are Eminem albums defending Eminem

Not impressed.

Well, slightly impressed, but mostly bored.

at least the top comments on the youtube video have turned against eminem

Lol at all the people who think I have rated every single album I've heard

Also lol @ Alex for trying to be a prick for no reason

"Lol at all the edgy people saying eminem's wordplay is whack."

Wasn't referring to you only

Encore is the musical equivalent of the worst Adam Sandler film you can think of.

I mean... this was inevitable really.

It's talented but really boring to listen to.

prog rap wankery

"but i'll just leave this here

Ayyyyye nigga you found it. Left that there for ya, call it the Key special.

Really did enjoy that album, tho. Haven't heard any of his other shit except some Gandolf ripoff song he did a few years back and have no idea what any of his fans are like cause I never read the YT comments or anything.

[2] Except I've never heard this gandolf rip off and I don't think I want to either

Song could really benefit from just a small backing beat with a nice bassline, would have made this quite a bit better. Still is a decent track.

So excited for a new album. MMLP2 is my favorite from him, so I hope he does a style similar on the album

I think this would be a lot more interesting with something backing it. What it has right now does nothing

"Ayyyyye nigga you found it. Left that there for ya, call it the Key special.

haha i know man i'm just messin. some of his fans def are insufferable tho

Considering you listen to a lot more in the genre than I do, how would you roughly rate that? I thought the beats were all pretty solid and catchy, plus some of the vocal arrangements seemed neat. I get that you don't like the verbosity though.

it's not my cup of tea, that type of hip hop really rubs me the wrong way...but if i were to try to be objective about it i'd say 3-3.5

I heard my name
just rearranged

Followup, how would you rate Love Sosa or Hot Nigga?

5/5, one of my favorite songs of the decade

hot nigga is w/e...was fun the first or second listen

"one of my favorite songs of the decade"

I hate that I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

lol i'm dead serious bro. that song is too good

Goddammit Sach.

only 118 comments for a thread with Eminem and Trump both in the title. super ashamed of sputnik right now

Corn

^^^ Hahahaha he waited fucking months to make that first comment. Good stuff.

Know what? That's probably a Key alt that he rated Aesop 4's on just to throw off any suspicion. I'm onto you with your maize game.

not gonna lie, that really does look like mostly things i like mixed in with a few outliers to throw ppl off lol

what a brave man willing voice his controversial and taboo opinion that trump is bad
truly groundbreaking

terrible genre designed to take advantage of low iq individuals.

ok youtube commenter

Post-Hardcore 32%
Alternative Rock 19%

Good genres

Very much good in fact

"Eminem does what he's done his whole career by fucking the low hanging fruit in the ass... more at 11."
