The epitome of this word in hip hop. Why is he hailed as one of the greats?

Here are the Reasons eminem stans usually give me :

-lyrical ability
-album sales
-8 mile movie
-whiteness
-somewhat consensus that he has 3 classics (SSLP, MMLP, and TES)

Let me decode and debunk every single one of those reasons why he is not a great.

#lyrical ability…

Let’s start off with lyrical ability. Why does Eminem fall into the category of lyrical? why do you think? Is it because of metaphors, similies, wordplay, etc? Or is it because HE JUST RAPS f---ing FAST. I’ll go with the latter. Rapping fast does not equal lyrical ability. What is Eminem’s best line??? Kanye’s best lines are like “mayonaisse colored benz I push myrical whips” people remember those dope lines, but Eminem? what is his dopest line???? I rap like a robot, so call me rapbot? that’s trash? He doesn’t have any alltime memorable metaphors, wordplay or anything like that.

#album sales…..

Don’t even deny it. You know what I’m getting at. It IS for that reason whether you like it or not. He was one of the first white rappers that acted like a “n-----” plus he was backed up by Dr. Dre of course he was gonna sell records. His first album Infinite didn’t sell s---..why? oh that’s right because he wasn’t on The Chronic 2001 before he made that album. Had Dr. Dre never helped him out he’d still be working at Mcdonalds. That’s the only reason 13 year old future shooters listened to him across America. Because only they would listen to the corny material that was on SSLP MMLP and TES… “My name is…what? my name is…SLIM SHADY” in those weird a--- annoying voices? smh who other than r-----ed kids enjoys that? I’ll tell you no one. Plus album sales don’t mean s--- to greatness because Mc f---ing Hammer has a diamond album. The end.

#8 mile movie…

People just like that movie…which is the only thing he was ever cool or dope in. I like the movie. But you know what, too bad movies don’t count in your all time great scale. How good the 8 mile movie is doesn’t cover up his overratedness sorry.

#whiteness…

doesn’t even need an explanation.

#3 Classics…

Yea let’s talk about those “classics”. What makes SSLP classic? The oh so inspiring abundance of childish material pertaining to murder, r---, and vandalism? The average lyrical content? Or did you just think it was cool that he said he didn’t give a f--- a lot when u were little so u thought yaaaaaay classic!! NO not a classic by any regards. MMLP??? Same s--- as SSLP with only one good and meaningful song: The Way I Am. If he made songs like this all the time he would'nt be an overrated piece of s---. “kim” is an abomination. How can any mentally stable person enjoy that song? Seriously what the f--- is wrong with you? Nothing cool about domestic violence. Again it has “white kid that’s a future Columbine perpetrator” written all over it. TES? You know I could go over this too but it’s really the same crap as the other two and frankly it gets tiring discussing his childish work. TES is no better so so SOOOOOO overrated UGH!.

In short Eminem is the shining example of overrated. No other artist amounts to his burning blood of overate. I have debunked why he is in case anybody wondered how. I’ll be humble about going down as a legend for converting thousands maybe even MILLIONS of Eminem stans from his grasp. I will make so many see the light. Anyway keep spreading positivity people and enjoy this factual work.

I lost you at lyricism. Not only did he not rap fast in his prime, there's endless quotable lines to choose from. Your favorite rapper could never make Lose Yourself. No wordplay, and your example is Kanye's mayonase?

 

Jan 8, 2016

cause it's below his usual level of work

 

Jan 8, 2016

Ha. Well to each his own. I personally don't see any appeal in Kanye and Eminem is light years ahead of him in every aspect except production.

 

Jan 8, 2016

lol no, only aspect ems better is rappity rap helicopter flows

Jan 8, 2016

That's objectively wrong and so obvious I'm not even going to discuss it further.

Jan 8, 2016

Jan 8, 2016

Nothing worse than people who think their opinion is a fact

 

Jan 8, 2016

He think Eminem is a bad lyricist. If he think Kayne making Lose Yourself would be beneath his level, I can't argue with that. That's like thinking the Earth is flat.

 

Jan 8, 2016

you could have made a legit argument for some of these but the way you did it was f---ing terrible

 

Jan 8, 2016

This isn't an eminem verse kanye thread, stop trying to make it one, everyone already knows the answer to that
