Yeah Eminem's kinda like the rap equivalent to the Shawshank Redemption (in film). So many people dig it that there's a real temptation among people to hate on it, either out of contrarianism or that typical Internet card of "overrated" or what have you. But like Shawshank Eminem is just good and there's not much to dispute it with.

Agreed. Past discography though trumps a lot of his more recent works like Relapse and Recovery. There are some reuses of motifs in some instances like in Cold Wind Blows, "When the aqua man drowns..." which parallels When the Music Stops, "You all steady trying to drown the shark" but the creativity in describing futility in such a concise manner is lyrically unrivaled.

You don't listen to a lot of music, do you?

whenever people discuss their opinions I always just add "on the radio" in opportune places of their speech.

This explains so much on the radio.

On the radio I'm always right.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

This will probably become a fad pretty soon on the radio.

Atmosphere seconded
Soul Position "No young, gifted and black just guns *****es and crack."
"I guess this is what happens when rappers look up to thugs, and kids look up to rappers."
Aesop Rock This entire ****ing song is a lyrical masterpiece.
Common Market "They may say I’m just a dreamer, well at least I’m thinkin’ while I’m sleepin’"

I personally like Food and Liquor more for the lyrics and The Cool for the beat and rhythm. Both of them are gdlk.

Eminem is god tier. He gets haters because he was a previous underground MC and shifted to mainstream, but haters gonna' hate. He consistently says some of the sickest lines I have ever heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opAJ5vS-I4Q (NSFW aka a few curse words).

Childish Gambino is still amateur IMO but he has mad potential. Very clever.

Atmosphere is sick.

My face when people tell me Drake/Lil-Wayne/Random"Rapper" is the best rapper:

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Ace drops some of the sickest lines, it's insane.

In Citronella:
"Those who grew up thinking faith was the surrender of reason but not a reason to surrender."

 

[Raziek]

I don't even like rap, but that Eminem was ****ing legit.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Childish Gambino, Earl Sweatshirt, Machine Gun Kelly, and HOPSIN. This is the future of rap imo, theyre all too ****ing legit. And now XV.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Who cares 'bout rap when there's hiphop.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Aesop Rock is a self proclaimed rapper. Problem?

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Doesn't matter what he is, it's what he makes.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Not a fan of Eminem. Doesn't bridge the gap of genre hate.

 

[Asdioh]

Why do I keep looking at this thread >=(

 

[Axel]

My face when people tell me Drake/Lil-Wayne/Random"Rapper" is the best rapper:

I think this face is more appropriate:

Mainly because Drake isn't a rapper. He's R&B/Hip-Hop

And KevinM Imma let you finish, but SupaHotFire is da bess

Spoiler

notta

rapper of ALL TIME

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Mainly because Drake isn't a rapper. He's R&B/Pop

Fixed. Etymology here.

 

[Axel]

Fixed. [word that no one understands] here.

Fixed. More like Hipop.

I swear if faget counts as swearing I'll be mad.

 

[Axel]

Likely, just edit it now silly.

You don't listen to a lot of music, do you?

Any recommendations?

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Broaden your horizon.

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGow4nmYkkA

 

[Vinylic.]

electric/dubstep/etc.

Before any of you say that it sucks, please.
It isn't about the wobbles, it's about the rhythm.
If you find any music with alot of wubs and stuff, that's just crap.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Dubstep sucks.

 

[Vinylic.]

 

[DtJ S2n]

Dubstep sucks.

This is the greatest picture I've ever freaking seen good lord.

 

[Axel]

Kill people, Burn ****, **** school

 

[Circus]

So.

Conan O'Brien, wearing women's sunglasses, looks like Meryl Streep's character from The Devil Wears Prada. He's seriously a fur coat away.

Not much room for discussion here, but now you've seen this, and you can't unsee it.

 

[Dooms]

Actually, I can unsee that pretty easily.

 

[Super Vegito]

He looks pretty.

 

[Orboknown]

I don't even like rap, but that Eminem was ****ing legit.

I second this.emphasis on the "was", not a fan of his current stuff but the first three were awesome.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

so i guess no one else listens to the rap i listen to where they solely just talk about how ballin they are like rick ross/wiz/lil wayne?

MIND SO SHARP I CUT MY HEAD OFF

 

[Orboknown]

Nope.
