In retrospect, Eminem kind of sucks right?

Always thought so, as a matter of fact.

yep

now this looks like a job for me
so everybody just follow me
cos we need a little challopsy

smh

Regardless of whether or not you acutally enjoy listening to his records, his talent for wordplay & (lyrical) cadence is pretty much indisputable (especially when he's free-styling, obv)

Personally, I would:

Search - His twisted murder fantasies & self-loathing introspection tracks; dis tracks

Destroy - All his post-Eminem Show output; His daughter-ballads, mom fuck-yous; & the entirety of his cheapo toilet humor (not that I don't enjoy the occasional poop joke, he just does that schtick in a particularly annoying way); Most aspects of his production style (the parts he didn't steal outright from Dr Dre, I guess); All his boy-band ranting didn't age to well, either, did it?

Again with the obvious but, if nothing else, "Stan" is a sterling pop masterpiece & even tho the lyrics are a bit corny, "Lose Yourself" just sounds fucking brilliant. Both are, and will likely remain, two of the more memorable hit singles of the decade.

When did Eminem not suck?

Also, why the bollocking fuck is Eminem in my phone's dictionary but apricot, custard and bollock are not?

well yes.. he's as much a guilty pleasure as something like limp bizkit. not the worst, but at the time he was absolutely the most overhyped thing in music.

this is the part of the thread where i ask if you have sat and listened to any of the albums

uh oh!!!

I used to hate Eminem, but I've completely turned around this year...So many genius singles! "Stan"! "My Name is"! "Guilty Conscience"! etc.

I haven't heard the Slim Shady/Marshall Mather LPs, but I see they both have five-star ratings on AMG. Weird!

i know, right!!?>!?

this is the part of the thread where i ask if you have sat and listened to any of the albums

Are you serious? If you had friends between the years 1999 and 2002 or listened to the radio at all, Eminem was unavoidable. Believe me, I tried. (Although I have successfully gone without ever hearing Creed's "My Sacrifice" but only because I was forced to put my hands over my ears and hum other songs to myself while it blasted from bar jukeboxes or at other functions.. I'm sure I looked foolish, but at least I've never heard "My Sacrifice.")

I've heard the 1st 2 albums.

You don't wanna fuck with Shady, cos shady will fucking kill you.

catchy

They call me Slim Shady, I'm black, I'm black.. wait, thats not what he's singing...

Forgive me if my hackles raise when you compare one of the best rappers of the 90s to Froederick fucking Durst.

Like seriously, do you just hear them and your brain goes *WHITE GUY RAPPING URRGG* cause I mean in a post-"Jump Around" world I totally feel you but come on

Eminem didn't bother me as much as his idiotic fans did.

Cold blooded.

hoos don't stop the love

was eminem a rapper of the 90s??? am i that fucking old?

-- billstevejim, Friday, July 18, 2008 3:18 AM (9 minutes ago)

dang!

Sorry, I spoke without really thinking because I haven't listened to him in years.. Eminem now strikes me as an extreme guilty pleasure because every single from The Eminem Show and the last D12 album were just as bad as Limp Bizkit, and since that's his most recent solo material, it's what came to mind first..

# 1999: The Slim Shady LP
# 2000: The Marshall Mathers LP
# 2002: The Eminem Show
# 2004: Encore

answer to self: no

haha I meant Encore!!

fair enough xxp

also fair enough xp

however many xs yall know wtf i'm talkin baout

I always wished he was actually singing those words. Afterall he's the Eminem, chocolate on the inside, candy coating on the outside. Get it LOL?!?!

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh wahtthehell

Marshall Mathers

;)

maybe he's not really white btw ;)

Oh come on, the "chocolate on the inside" thing had to be intentional.

no you come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda love "Purple Pills."

Extreme guilty pleasure: that one thats like "Sometimes I feel like the worlds on my shoulders.."

Okay.. he had his moments. I apologize. I need to sleep now.

wait is seriously nobody gonna properly rep for Em's mic skills with any weight? total bullshit imo

sure can flow FOR A WHITE GUY

Like dude is kinda a fucked up misanthrope and I wouldn't wanna kick it w/him but dude is an incredible writer too.

he has like the most annoying voice of any rapper besides maybe talib kweli

and really i've never been particularly impressed by his writing, he's not awful but he's definitely overhyped...

that's not to say I don't like any Em songs, I''m just saying for the most part he's pretty awful IMO

word HOOS I was waiting for ethan to get right and school these dudes because I ain't gonna go linkin the encore review but e knows very well dude was fucking on point for at least 2-3 years

xpost yeah my opinion exactly

someone link to some of those "unreleased" diss songs

we need an eminem retrospective i guess because this kid was a fucking genius, literally

a fucking genius, literally

lol wut

what was so genius about him? this post came about because I was watching this vh1 documentary series "and you don't stop..." which they always show, and basically the last hour was dedicated to Em and what an amazing, groundbreaking figure he was and i was just reminded of how lame he is

Literally

a fucking genius, literally

what was so genius about him?

rhymes

lyrics

flow

I mean he's not the greatest or anything don't get me wrong but for people to be "oh he sucked" I mean like only if you hate good rapping

Yeah I can even understand not liking the content of his rhymes or his voice, that's whatever, but to deny his talent as a technician is ridiculous

not liking is voice = lol subjective whatever

not liking the content of is rhymes = lol youre an idiot

what content? nothing of his ever really spoke to me on any level

There's talent as a technician and there's not being like sandpaper to the eardrums.

I don't deny that he's very good at wordplay and stuff of that nature, but I don't see him as some sort of MASTER TECHNICIAN either

MASTER DEBATER. maybe

wordplay & his ability to pull it off was like 90% of his game

what it takes for a rapper to be great = speaking to brainwasher on some level

in retrospect, he's great, same as the first time around. so's Encore.

what does that have to do with him sucking again? who talks about rap in technical terms like that anwyay?

"technical terms" = HE IS A GOOD WRITER WHO DELIVERS LINES IN AN INTERESTING FASHION

THIS IS CALLED "RAPPING"

I'm too lazy to do it right now, but someone should link to some of those old videos of him in the final stages of various rap-battle competitions. 8 Mile having Disneyfied that aspect of his early years to the point where "the battle-rapping Eminem story" is somewhat groan-inducing, it is easy to overlook utterly he eclipsed his real-life opponents back in the day.

overlook "how" utterly

first 2 1/2 albums are classic. and i still think it was some of the weirdest top 40 music ever.

but we're at about the normal cyclical nadir here, 10 years out, so the timing of this thread is right.

no, "technical terms" = ZOMG HE'S SUCH A MASTER TECHNICIAN, YOU MAY NOT LIKE HIM BUT YOU CAN'T DENY HIS TECHNICAL RAPPING SKILLS OBJECTIVELY as if technique is disconnected from style/voice/content/etc. Him being "technically amazing" doesn't make him a good or interesting rapper

Like seriously Brainwasher I'm saying: lots of strawburban kids connected w/Em cause he hated his parents and authority and tended to escape into fantasy like a lotta kids feel they're 15 and disaffected. You were never fucked up and 15? Good work. That doesn't mean Em's rhymes weren't acrobatically vivid.

I'm out for now but back later tho

lose yourself was one of his best songs easily

i dunno if thats a challop or not but im thinking maybe it is?

dude brainwasher can/did you srsly listen to for example 'without me' without lolling inwardly or outwardly about 5x times or more? xps

I said that there are some Em songs that I like, his lOLOLZ waCKY singles liek 'without me' and ' my name is' and 'real slim shady' are cool for what they are, loved them at the time they came out and there are other assorted singles and deep cuts of his that i like but I'm just speaking overall.. I don't think he's worthy of the praise he gets and a lot of his stuff is kind of embarassing when you listen to it now even though it was cool when i was in 5th grade or whenever "my name is" came out

Wow. This thread is almost 100% wrong. Eminem is classic and his albums (though only half of Encore) still hold up really well. Funny, entertaining, catchy stuff.

he's a good rapper but i don't like his music much
which is what i think a lot of the haters here are saying

always disliked Em's voice & flow

i hear those first two records as kind of out of like a zappa/beefheart (or kool keith, say) gonzo continuum, a lot of it still sounds kind of fucked up to me. "bonnie and clyde '97," "kill you," "kim," even "cleaning out my closet" (which is admittedly where things turned mawkish), it's pretty screwy. and the cuter songs have plenty of bizarro twists and turns too. i think his just plain weirdness is underrated.

i mean, i don't listen to "kim" much and never did, but when i do it doesn't sound ... like fred durst.

and i think it's one of the best murder ballads ever, but it's unpleasant to sit through.

When he's talking serious shit his flow tends to get stuck in this monotone rut that is far less interesting than his surreal, D-12ish stuff, which has a more fluid, free style to it (both in terms of flow and in wordplay/content). As his career went on he got more into the former and that got boring real quick for me. Those first two albums are classic though.

I'm with John and Hoos, he wasn't really for everyone but you have to give him credit for being a really talented and creative rapper. Comparing him to Fred Durst is lunacy.

At what, 10 years old (?), I really loved "My Name Is" because it was super catchy. I liked it again in junior high because I thought the lyrics were funny. I stopped listening to Eminem until now, at 18, and it turns out I adore it even more because a) it is catchy, b) the lyrics are funny and c) jesus christ, it's twisted. i always wrote the song off as a clever list of celebrity jabs, but then when i start paying attention to lines like "99 percent of my life i was lied to" it finally hits me that this guy is actually a much more complex person than i ever gave him credit for...Really interesting rapper!

You were 10 years old when that came out? I'm ancient. I remember selling blank CDs in highschool of Eminem's Marshal Mathers whatever in 2000 when I found it on some mp3 FTP site (this was just a little before Napster, that's how you did it... all on a modem). People paid me $20 for that crap; people also had no idea what blank CDs were.

lol @ people arguing about Eminem in 2008

if you guys think he's just talking about michael and britney you're not listening close enough. and even when he's talking about michael and britney, he's sometimes talking about talking about michael and britney.

Finally, an ILMer that is younger than me!

I'll say OTM to those repping for Eminems guest spots being (mostly) superior to his solo stuff - not so much for the D12 records as, say, "Renegade" or the 2001 tracks. His flow and lyrical abilities, outstanding as they are, are more palatably digested in limited quantites. That nasal timbre can wreak havoc on the ears after a while.

It's official Eminem is working on a new album.

It's been nearly four years since Em's latest studio album, Encore, but fans can now have something to look forward too. Dr. Dre's new protégé, Bishop Lamont, recently said the Eminem drought is almost over.

"Em is excited," Lamont told Entertainment Weekly. "He's been quiet too long, and he's got a lot to get off his chest."

While there is no release date just yet, the rapper's label confirmed that Eminem is back in the studio working on his next solo project.

Since the tragic death of his best friend and fellow rapper Proof, the 35-year-old rapper has been dealing with the grief and in the process has been MIA from the music scene.

However, Lamont says this new album will alleviate all that stress. "He went through what he had to go through, and now he's been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music."

Stay tuned for further details.

you 35 and you still rappin? UHHHHH

Rev let us nostalgicate in peace.

this thread is making me nostalgic ;_; i feel old

It's not that he sucks, it's just that that Nu-Metal, Frat-Rap, American Pie, Tom Green, stupid white American grossout thing got old very fast and really it was he who broke the camels back - more to overexposure than anything else. Listening to Eminem sucks right now because he's too recent in our minds, but in ten years time people are going to be totally on this stuff and "My Name Is.." and "The Real Slim Shady" will be revived as awesome party anthems. It's just the natural retro curve doing its thing.

You know, it's been a while since we've had a pop pariah out there, bringing about society's downfall. My Chemical Romance as suicidal inspiration just doesn't cut it. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF DESTROYING THE CHILDREN!

Unlikely because then they wouldn't be able to give away their new album free with the Mail On Sunday.

They could give away Snakes on a Plane! instead.

man I worked with troubled kids during Eminem's rise & high water days and I never saw anything like the bond his shit had with those kids

fuck hating on "kids' stuff," go listen to Yes

The hype was super-annoying & off-putting at the time, but he made a bunch of singles that sounded great cranked up in the car, so he def. did NOT suck!

Weird how long ago it seems now.

At first I thought Eminem was a kind of flash-in-the-pan joke rapper, like Humpty Hump or Paul Barman, and it turns out that he was exactly that, except completely brilliant (if a little repetitive).

"Purple Pills" is my favorite to crank up in the car.

What do you mean 'in retrospect', he has always been shit. Plus he's shockingly the one rapper I can think of that sticks to all the rap stereotypes (aside from the half nekkid girls in the vid...ish) the violence, misogyny, homophobia...EVERYTHING.
I liked Purple Hills and Stan was really high concept.
They could give away Snakes on a Plane! instead.
I totally agree

i feel that the title of this thread is disingenuous

where's the "in retrospect" with a bunch of ppl who didn't like him in the first place insulting dude

You were 10 years old when that came out? I'm ancient. I remember selling blank CDs in highschool of Eminem's Marshal Mathers whatever in 2000 when I found it on some mp3 FTP site (this was just a little before Napster, that's how you did it... all on a modem). People paid me $20 for that crap; people also had no idea what blank CDs were.

Wanna work on your timetable a little bit? Napster was most definitely up, running, and quite popular before the summer of 2000 when Marshall Mathers LP dropped.

lol burt_stanton was out of the loop

When he's talking serious shit his flow tends to get stuck in this monotone rut that is far less interesting than his surreal, D-12ish stuff, which has a more fluid, free style to it (both in terms of flow and in wordplay/content). As his career went on he got more into the former and that got boring real quick for me. Those first two albums are classic though.

Damn, does this ever sum up my feelings about Em's career.

For me it was all downhill after SS LP, which remains a deranged, magical masterpiece (and always will be thus). Then MM LP dropped and it was still pretty stellar but he was getting SERIOUS (post-backlash defensiveness I guess) and so less fun, more bristling. Then EM SHOW came out. I totally hate that record save maybe "White America" and :"Business" and maybe one other song. Never listen to it because it's so dire and crossover and whatever, it's where Middle America at Large got behind Shady like "hey, this guy's not so terrible after all, maybe it's okay for lil Erica and Eric to listen to him, etc." (I mean, just thinking about that album right now's getting me mad) ENCORE was a total mess but it's my second favorite Em album because it's him not giving half a fuck (the majority) while at the same time really giving one ("Mosh").

Hopefully he comes back strong with some new subject matter - I'm seriously sick of hearing about his family and how critics hate him, etc. I wish he'd rap about his more recent problems with the same trippy acidity of yore, you know?

loved eminem back then but he was very much of his time i guess, i don't think i've actively wanted to listen to one of his songs in years. it's embarrassing that he was my gateway to hip-hop, once i really got to know the genre i think i realised he wasn't all that special in its context.

wonder which borad that'll be quoted on

none

I wouldn't think that would be embarrassing at all! Dude was a huge crossover success; there are going to be a ton of people who found their way into hi-hop via him.

yeah i know, it's just a bit of a cliché, plus it's still lame that hip-hop's biggest crossover success (in the uk at least) had to come with the white dude who may as well have been rock half the time.

it's probably more lame to be one of the people who loved eminem but didn't get into hip-hop as a genre though

haha that I agree with 100%

re question: Compared to what?

once i really got to know the genre i think i realised he wasn't all that special in its context.

i think this depends on what you mean. it's true that there were a lot of people talking about "flow" and "internal rhymes" like he'd invented them or something. (and on the flow count especially, he got better and less stilted -- i'm thinking "business," say, compared to "just don't give a fuck" -- but he's never been the most fluid guy.) but in terms of his persona, his obsessions, his whole demented-cartoon thing, i think he's pretty well his own thing. the idea that he was just taking run-of-the-mill hip-hop stuff and giving it a peroxide bath i think seriously undersells his imagination.

(and i'm not putting down "just don't give a fuck," he made the cartoony stilted cadences work for his own purposes.)

in retrospect, eminem was pretty good, pretty overrated and unfairly hated, all at once

calling his albums 'masterpieces' always sounds ridiculous. they were just as flawed as any records put out by rappers that folks around here ignore

I think deej is pretty much on it, here. I loathe him but recognize his talent, I just think he mostly wasted it - but I'm a cornie indie rap fuxxor. Which for me means I hate his voice and never was feeling Dre's Chronic 2001 and after production.

Feel free to point out that I think Talib Kweli used to be really, really good and therefore my opinions are null and void.

never liked much of his stuff and found the critical fawning and fanbase annoying. I guess a few of his singles are okay ("My Name Is", for ex.). But "Stan"? fuck that shit

the best stuff on Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and a few later tracks ("My Dad's Gone Crazy") was dense, funny, smart,conflicted, and fascinating then and no different now.

I mean, Marshall Mathers LP is surefire Album of the Decade contender.

Whoa I tried to read this thread but it got a bit long. Crazy stuff in here.

I always liked Em's voice, it's got way more character and appeal to me than a lotta rappers out there. His flows are great. The hooks are obnoxious, he's totally snotty, beats are catchy and often sorta ridiculous...I think he's awesome.

oh, how did i forget "square dance"? that was great.

the "without me" video was total lolz, esp. when he's dressed like osama and the d12 dudes are chasing him around...

"Stan" and all the foofaw around it was great entertainment

"fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts, make fun of gay clubs, men who wear makeup...."

I didn't realize that people actually, sincerely liked "Square Dance" before today.

"You learn something new every day."

I was reaaaaaaaaally let down by The Eminem Show. I'm not against the "silly rapper decides to become more serious" album, but it really didn't sound like Eminem was up to the task. Not to mention the beats become more overdramatic and his meter was more subdued and predictable.

I did like "Soldier" a lot from that one, though. Really in my eyes, just buy Slim shady lp and Marshall Mathers LP

My Dad's Gone Crazy and Square Dance are the best tracks on The Eminem Show. Encore is a better album.

i only pay attention when he's (ostnesibly) funny - my name is, without me, guilty conscience, real slim shady

HE SUCKS.
