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?

I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault -- my fault

haha surmounter is convincing

I wish he'd release a new album.

wait he dissed alyssa fuck him

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.

whatever like that song didn't rule your world

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?

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

-- 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

what hoos is talkin baout: In retrospect,Eminem kind of sucks right?

this duder is shit in any colour

They call me Slim Shady, I'm black, I'm black.. wait, thats not what he's singing...
-- billstevejim, Friday, July 18, 2008 3:18 AM (9 minutes ago)
dang!

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."

arrested development > am0n

kd lang = gabbneb

pff eminem wuz great before he started takin himself so srsly. bonnie n clyde man bonnie n clyde

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

can a mod please add "i'm white btw" to every post on this thread

you 35 and you still rappin? UHHHHH

i always thought the marilyn manson of rap cult that surrounded him was wacky as fuck and good for lols but you can stack these 6 up with any consecutive 6 singles by any artist this decade and that's more than enough for me

"My Name Is"
"Guilty Conscience" (feat. Dr. Dre)
"Bitch Please II" (feat. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, & Nate Dogg)
"The Real Slim Shady"
"The Way I Am"
"Stan" (feat. Dido)

Bitch Please II is so amazing

cuz you don't really wanna fuck with me
only nigga that i trust is me
fuck around and make me bust this heat........

just a bit of fun, be cool

alternately: jokes, bruv

I like Eminem, but I also like Princess Superstar...

Ask me a question, I love to lie, hey look girl is that Jimi Hendrix?
'Scuse me while I kiss your guy
Everyone tells me I'm the female Eminem, well all I'm gonna talk about is getting fucked up the ass then
Don't be mad Em I'm just playin, I wish I had a Dr. Dre and sold out shows,
One million white faces in Dayton

Wow, is there ever some crazy talk on this thread, especially early on. Thanks to HOOS, deeznuts, John D., and gabbneb, et al, for righting the ship.

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.

A scattershot of otms for j0hn, hoos, neb, nuts, (like Hubie was sayin)

i don't got that bad of a mouth do I
fuck shit ass bitch cunt shoobadeedoowhop
Ohh, skibadeebeebop, christopher reeves
sonny bono, skis, horses, and hittin some trees....

awesome album

The guy's a character and massively entertaining.

"You know why Dre's record was so successful? He's rapping about big-screen TVs, blunts, 40s, and bitches. You're rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin. I can't sell this shit."

Then EM SHOW came out. I totally hate that record save maybe "White America" and :"Business" and maybe one other song.

Square Dance is one of my faves of his

otm tho, rest of that album kinda sux

loved his diss tracks on the Source and Benzino during that whole feud

"The Sauce" and uh what was the other one. forgot the title

uh pt 2

emineddie murphy

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.

he's no tech n9ne.

loved Eminem's stuff back in the day, but now I know why they call it windowpane

actually, I probably would still like his older singles

bitch please pt II still ownez

He sucks now. The Slim Shady LP is classic.

i can't believe that "what is love"-sampling song is actually being promoted as a single
