In retrospect, Eminem kind of sucks right?

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

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

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.

Hubie Brown, Friday, 18 July 2008 17:12 (fifteen years ago) link

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)

"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

dmr, Friday, 18 July 2008 17:38 (fifteen years ago) link

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

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...

Beatrix Kiddo, Friday, 18 July 2008 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link

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

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

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

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:43 (fifteen years ago) link

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

gabbneb, Friday, 18 July 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link

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