Nov 27, 2014 It's been that way for a while. Eminem's always been nice technically but he can't put together a good listenable song anymore. I haven't listened to this this Shady XV album, so i don't know how good/bad it is.. but all of his albums have aged horribly, and this is something a lot of people can't seem to "accept". The "great albums" he put out all those years ago aren't good to listen to anymore. They're dusty. Recovery is a dusty a--- album. MMLP2 is bad.
Nov 27, 2014 Not as a rapper, but lately as a musician yeah, he is. But career-wise, no, absolutely not, Drake hasn't even come close yet on anything. But who knows, maybe he'll get there.
Nov 27, 2014 I won't judge Eminem on Shady XV and The Re-Up though, same way I don't really account for Cruel Summer when looking at Kanye's discog
Nov 27, 2014 Wayne has just as many terrible punchlines as Eminem, yet it's okay to talk s--- about Eminem but not Wayne? Yeah great logic. And just because someone doesn't like a particular artist's music, that doesn't classify as "idiotic hate".
Nov 27, 2014 at his peak, wayne was one of the best and most innovative writers and rappers in the history of the genre. writing him off as "catchy beats and hooks" is, yeah, "idiotic hate"
Nov 27, 2014 I didn't say he wasn't one of the best and most innovative writers and rappers at his peak. But nowadays, I think his music has slipped and the s--- I hear now is mostly "catchy beats and hooks". I don't hate the guy or his new music, I just dislike it and can't get into it. Hate is a strong word.
Nov 27, 2014 Eminem's first three albums are undeniable classics, but at this point in my life it's very rare I'd rather listen to them over Take Care. But yeah Drake is definitely better at this point.
Nov 27, 2014 I really don't understand how (current) Eminem is technically good right now. That rappity rapid stop scream go bs flow is pain to ears. Rhymes for rhyming sake don't do any justice too.
Nov 28, 2014 Wayne has been just as inconsistent if not more inconsistent than Em the past several years tho.....
Nov 28, 2014 wayne still makes passably good--sometimes great ("rich as f---")--rap music. eminem is eminem.
