  • Let's cut him some slack, he's been in the game for a while. He's still good for 41 years old. It's understandable that some of the young guns will start to step into the lime-light.

  • No doubt. But it's got nothing to do with his age. He's talented. There's no denying it at all. I like Eminem. But regardless of his accomplishments and his work - past or present - there are better writers out there than him. I was just disagreeing with him being GOAT. It's like this obsession with Pac and Biggie. Great artists, great writers... But certainly not the greatest to have ever touched the genre.

  • he is literally one of the first underground/battle rapper to go main stream, winning the battle rap Olympics got him noticed by Dr. Dre. he has two domains records and a massive amount of awards. Google it man he is the best rapper to ever live.

    Lol! Who hasn't heard of Eminem? I don't need to Google him. I'm not knocking him, I think he's great. Rock Bottom and Lose Yourself are brilliant. But there are far better writers than him now. Like I said, he's a brilliant artist and a great writer, but most of the underground is ahead of him. https://youtu.be/YM5xJzFhbW8 https://youtu.be/AIyHCiB-ZPg (While lacking in other areas, these guys simply have the best wordplay I've ever heard... Ever) Take something like them. Or take Eyedea as an example - his rhymes might not always be pristine, and his style is a little different. But he is on another level of mental capacity to Eminem or even most artists out there. Again, I can't stress the respect I have for Em as an artist, but there are simply better writers out there (especially now). [b]Sales don't prove quality.[/b] If you're encouraging me to check Eminem out, I'm encouraging you to check those artists out. I hope you enjoy!
