If I EVER see ONE MORE PERSON trying to defend Eminem then I'll PERSONALLY COME TO YOUR HOUSE TO FORCE YOU TO LISTEN TO TROUBLE PART 2 FOR 10 HOURS! "But what about that old stuff" it's ALL corny. His bullshit is only reliant on SHOCK VALUE instead of ACTUAL ARTISTRY! The Slim Shady LP? PURE SHOCK VALUE! The Marshall Mathers LP? POORLY DONE HORRORCORE! The Eminem Show? OVERRATED! Encore? OBJECTIVELY SHIT AND PURE SHOCK VALUE! Relapse? GET YOUR STINKY VOICES OUT OF HERE! Recovery? POORLY MADE POP SHIT! Revival? DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME! This is ULTRA CORNBALL ARTISTRY AND YOU ALL ARE ACTING LIKE HE'S THE GOAT OF A GENERATION! And y'all have the balls to call ME a cornball???
imo he's overrated as an artist but overhated in terms of pure rapping ability. His music output if pretty good, but insanely bloated and not even that special.
BUT: In terms of PURE RAPPING ABILITY, he's top 10.
