dont let some people see that on this site.....the amount of hate he gets is redicilous...so im sure they dont want to see one of the top rappers give him MAJOR props
Ain't that the fucking truth.

Personally I don't like Eminem's music minus a couple songs...but to say Eminem isn't an amazing MC is just stupid. I don't care for his subject matter or voice...but dude can spit with the best of them. His freestyles (old) are off the hook.

eminem is definately one of the greatest. just my opinion. I think he would murder any rapper right now as far as actual beef songs. I dont know about freestylin though.

eminem is a sorry-ass artist. THis is coming from someone who bought his 1st 2 albums(i was young & didn't know what good music was at the time). Em had and still has hella issues, that's where he gets the majority of his ideas for songs. Can you seriously knock EminEm at a party???? Hell no 'cause nobody knocks eminem in public.....because you'll get strange looks when you turn up the volume(well unless its "Forgot about Dre"). To call him the greatest is going a little bit overboard. He's kool on the mic with his flow and clever word play, but his music, IMO, is for (sorry to say this) suburban america. Nobody in the "hood" be bumpin that shit, not even here in my small town.... THe only people i see playing em's music is little teens(boys/girls), jocks, and people with no clue of good music.

After listening to his personal problems on his first 2 albums, i had enough w/ eminem. Then after he started his shitty group D12.....i definitely had enough. Then he rode with the beef stick(elton john, limp bizkit, moby, christina aguilera, britney, Joe Buddens, etc..)and took jabs at every weak artist he could beef with(i think that's where 50 got his "beef marketing plan" from).

Em has talent and he deserves to be where he's at but to say he's the "greatest" is putting too much on it....

He has more raw talent than 99.999999999% of the rap game. That doesnt mean he makes better songs than 99.99999999%, but he definately is more talented. You dont gotta like him, but you damn sure have to respect that. If you deny it, then you're lying to yourself.
