adnan Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 "Encore" wasn't very good, but goddamnit the guy is a lyrical and musical genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 The Slim Shady LP = AmazingThe Marshall Mathers LP = Equally amazingThe Eminem Show = Weaker, with a few stand out tunesEncore = Awful. He'd become a parody of himself.He's pretty much the only rapper I've ever liked. He went terribly shit in the end, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 His really is a lyrical genius. The only rapper I listen to & enjoy. Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP are both awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Encore was subpar, but not as terrible as some people here say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Encore was subpar, but not as terrible as some people here say.His singing is just inexcusable. On some prior hits, when he didn't stretch for notes too much, it was alright.Eminem was great, but it seems to me that Ludacris has been doing pretty much the same thing for a long time and doesn't get much recognition. The man is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 It's not just Eminem's comedy that's good, it's also his story raps, like "8 Mile" or "Hailey's Song". Ludacris is a little too funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathalie92 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yep he is a genious.. I'm not into rap much too much,but i must say that i like his music and the way he writes his lyrics.The Marshall Mathers LP is absolutely perfect from the first song until the last one.He's the only raper that his music doesn't bored me. B) And plus he's sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopeSickGirl Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think he's amazing lyrically..I really like 'Mosh' I think its a really really goodsong. And the Marshall Mathers LP was an excellentalbum. I'm not a rap devotee, by a long way, but I can recognize talent when I see it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Like A Bomb Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Funny you should start a thread like this adnan because i was going to do it as well The Eminem Show is his greatest album in my opinion, it's just so raw and angry and Drips is the funniest song i've heard by Eminem.

JeanGenie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I don't like him, I don't like that he sells his personal life. and I hate that he faked his biography like J. Lo and all this poser crap wannabe musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankwhite Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 he's amazing, really really REALLY just incredible and for everyone who actually knows anything at all about hip hop, i beg u, i will curl up around from under my legs and eat my own ass with a pitchfork if u can find a motherfucker with a flow like that, im talkin' syllables per bar flat out rhyme scheme. with the possible exception of biggie smalls n kane who seem to have a better sense of rhythm but for all u guys callin him overrated, i fuckin dare u to find me a better rhymer.n outta interest, whats everyone got again encore? Parody of himself? whys that a bad thing, it seems to me like an extremely aware parody of himself, like he's makin fun of his image n that takes a lotta balls. seriously, whats wrong with Encore, Ass Like That is like....one of the funniest songs i heard in ages, i think its hilairious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Rose Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) I like Eminem, yeah. But it's true that he is overrated, mostly because he's white.The man has skills tho, The Marshall Mathers album is superb, one of the best albums I've ever heard. The only problem with him is that he cant move on. Seems like every other song from him is about his shit childhood, he should get a therapist or something.Fav. song? Lose Yourself.

sweetness Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I use to like him when I was in elementary school, now everytime I hear eminem or any hip hop for that matter it just sounds cheesy and stupid. But I respect him Hes from the same neighborhood as me, a lot of people in Detroit look up to him and overall I think its cool to see somebody like him rise out of that hell hole. It gives hope to up and comming artists in Detroit, unlike Kid Rock who just says hes been through all of that shit in D town and acts like an asshole.But Alice Cooper is the best musician to come out of Detroit B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwideboss Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Incredibly overrated...Definitely. I am not that that much of a rap fan, but in no way he can touch Tupac, B.I.G. or the N.W.A.He has some talent, but not THAT much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 It gives hope to up and comming artists in Detroit, unlike Kid Rock who just says hes been through all of that shit in D town and acts like an asshole.Pff, at least he does it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
