    He's better than Tupac but not as good as Lil Pump. So if an apple is a 1 and a tomato is a 10 I would rank him as a banana.

    Yeah he's been getting closer to modern production but he still produces a lot of his own beats so maybe a handful of new/different producers could get him out of his comfort zone a bit more like he sounded great on the fat joe song imo and that's definitely not a normal beat for him

    Fantano should use this scale "I give this a decent to a ripe apple"

    OP question should be "Was Eminem a good rapper?"

    Answer would be yes if that was positioned as such. I'm inclined to say no though.

    Em needs Dre on the beats. That's when he's the most hyped/comfortable.

    He's still good at rhyming words for the sake of rhyming words, and he can do it very fast. So sure, he's a good rapper.

    I think he could really get that something special back if he & Ca$his got back to work tho so there’s still hope.

    Thank god i am not a old dust head like you. In everything at life you have to evolve. In rap also. The reason why jay z who also is a dusty old rapper still works today is because every album is different and he is a student of the rap game. He did albums where he worked with modern producers and rappers and it worked. Still sold platinum records and is respected. Eminem only sells his albums are s---.

    Even s80's biggest anti eminem people said mtbmb was a pretty good album tho. He's clearly not the old em and you have to like this style, sure, but a bad rapper.. nah.

    If you judge it off the last 15 years he's one of the worst of all time, if you judge his first 5 or so years then he's a goat.
