Sep 2, 2017 An artists tone of seriousness is based on their personality, not their talent level. Outside of hip hop forums there's almost unilateral agreement that Em's talent can't be denied even if any and everything else subjectively can be. That's why most criticisms of Eminem are due to his lack of maturity or lack of "class" and "decorum". No doubt he'd do much better critically if he were more serious, but it's not in his personality. In my opinion Em is at his best when he speaks the truth tongue in cheek. The way he would bastardize serious topics in TES and even in some cases Encore and turn them into humorous social commentary is what made a resounding mark that still lasts to this day.

Sep 2, 2017 my apologies as i am not 100% sure if trolling or not, but how is 8 mile specifically cringe? like i would understand if you think lose yourself is (tho i disagree 100%), but i cannot see any reason for 8 mile
Sep 2, 2017 and to answer op, Ben and so many of you were not alive during his peak run, or were very young...if Em stopped making music in 2003, he woulda been a myth, way way bigger than any other rapper..and would be talked about in the same breath of Beatles and Elvis in 20-30 years...obviously now people see my sentence and laugh at it because of what he became...but during his peak run, he could no wrong
