Legit Reason's to why Eminem is not top 10 Material.........

[L.P. Royal Flush]

IMO he's the best lyrical rapper, lyrically his skills are flawless...he has 3 classics to me, his first 3 albums were dope as hell to me..wasn't to keen on Encore and Relapse, recovery was a good album.

 

[Stew]

^^I don't think he has 3 classics but the rest of your post is fair game

 

[lamontbdc]

i wonder how many rappers that co sign him know about those tapes though ? Its weird people would still co sign him after that.

IMHO em has 3 good album but rest of his shit is overrated. Hes still cool though.

agree

 

[just.might.b.ok]

this guy pretty much explains it, as far as my hip hop taste goes.

 

[choppa_style]

Seriously if you're going to give a subjective answer, you have to compare it to something else in rap.

Just saying something like he's one dimensional is pointless unless you show how other rappers aren't one dimensional.

 

[In Your Moms Room]

The slim shady lp is classic. Most of you haven't taken the time to lsiten to it from first track to last. His delivery, punchlines, subject matter, hunger is all on point. One of the greatest Debut albums. period.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

only on the internet does anyone disagree that he's top ten.

no point in spending energy trying to convince people whos life consists of typing paragraphs upon paragraphs about how much they hate entertainers.

ive noticed that people who stay on these websites hate anyone who has gotten very successful through music. thats how you get retarded statements like "jay-z is the most one dimensional rapper ever" said earlier in this thread. em, jay, and 50 are loved by people i see in person but when i check these sites the hate never stops

Those same people check out justin bieber and other wack artists. Why should I care about their opinion when they started listening to hip hop like in 05'.

 

[KingJamal]

He's a loser x10

I think its simple as this... You take Em out of Hip Hop it doesnt cause a major Rift take Pac, Big, Jay-Z, Nas out of Hip Hop and Rap as we know it will not exist....

 

[Gooner]

only whites think Em has a classic album...foh...to answer the thread its because the r 10 rappers better...skill wise u can make the argument to put him in but his music jus doesnt hold up...

also did t/s say u cant b a racist teen?

 

[Ear2DaSt]

got dang you sound like an ole i luv eminem and I defend him type shit!

 

[Gen. Stasia]

You mean also like Kane, Rakim, Scarface, KRS-one, & Chuck D? Ice Cube is pretty obvious, too.

Exactly even Kool G Rap (Who's in my top 5). You take Em out u dont have a cocky ass 50 Cent and D12....

 

[Turfaholic]

Not one classic in his catalog.

I nosigned.

Collapse feat. Nate Dogg is a classic in my world.

 

[Soloman_The_Wise]

I just find the logic used to disqualify criticism of dude insane...

Em's drug habit took away from his talent. When he's on drugs he's rapping about puke, incest, murder, or on some homo shit. But when he's sober he drops gems like "When Im Gone", "Collapse", or "Talking To Myself". So I can understand why people go against dude.

Lol old ass thread

Some good reasons mos def and wouldn't and havnt argued in this thread. Some not. Imo he is top 10 solely on his music.

 

[b@squ1@t redux]

anybody that likes eminem is a coon

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

He has no classics.

 

[DMTxTHC]

Lol @ not being able to be racist as a teenager (13-19)

...and Eminem has no classics, and no influence, well positive influence anyway. Dude gave wack D12 and crab ass 50 Cent a wider platform for their music.
