    Eminem is underrated.
    And this is why.

    People became his fans mostly because he was the white guy. Girls are a huge part of his fan base. They like his sappy s---. If you ask an average listener that praises him or doesn’t like him they haven’t even heard his verse on patiently waiting, renegade, dead wrong... the list goes on.

    Not really.

    New Eminem is definitely not underrated, old Eminem I would say yes but he's already widely regarded as one of the greatest from that time so

    I do agree though that people don't actually look into his s--- deeply and if they do on average they aren't fans of hip hop

    Usually rappers you don't like you have barely listened to. If they maintain a large following they must be good in some way so I like giving them more chances until they click, good way to expand your listening.

    I agree and get what you're saying. But I barely have time to check out new music and when I do I rather listen to artists I liked on first listen than artists I don't like.. for example I checked out maxo kream cuz the songs skippy posted sound cool.. I didn't check out lil pump because I think gucci g--- is terrible.

    You know what I mean?

    Overrated is a s--- word. We discuss music in here and try to convince people why we like certain things (its a discussion forum after all) but... as lame as it sounds, in the end its all about your taste/opinion whether you like something or not.

    So yeah lil pump is not for me. Same goes for Kendrick btw aside from gkmc

    @Soulja so much music is coming out nowadays.. its not just rap I listen to. So when a single/song sounds good to me I will check out an album. But when the first impression is bad I won't bother except when people post songs I do like.

    For example, not kidding.. at first thug was repetive to me until narsh showed me 'different' songs. After that I was a fan.

    sometimes u just ain't f---in wit someones music and that's that

    people rly do just have different tastes, and there's no amount of forcing yourself to listen to something you don't like that's necessarily gonna change anything
