Does anyone else think EMINEM is NOT the BEST RAPPER

What up guys i respect EM and think he is very talented, i just think now he is getting over-credited for everything he does. For me his flow and style gets annoying and is too "the same" like take "Love the way you Lie" and "On Fire" when he raps its just sounds the same too me. Now he does have really great metaphors and spits really fast i just believe other rappers are more creative and there music brings out more emotion. For me i like Kanye West alot better then Eminem, his music is more "out of the box" its just different, i like lupe fiasco more too..i guess i cant explain it.

I downloaded EMs new album and deleted it, it was way too repetive and got annoying i just dont know why i cant get myself into his music even though i know he is very good. I just dont believe he is the best ever, i think he gets over-creddited alot just because hes a VERY GOOD WHITE RAPPER ( and im white myself )..your thoughts?

I'm not really a rap connosieur, but I would agree that Eminem does tend to sound the same. I think Kanye's ryhtm and beats are good, but not that into his lyrics or voice tbh. Don't know much about Lupe Fiasco. Like I said though, I don't know a ton about Rap, and I don't have much skill in critiquing it.

Ive never really been a fan.

I don't think he is the best rapper.

Well basicly all music sounds the same nowadays.

Eminem is a good rapper but I think his early stuff was probably better.

I dont listen to alot rap but there are a few songs I like.

back in the day Eminem had interesting songs that no one else were doing at the time, silly rap songs poking fun at his life, politics, society and all that but even then he was no where near the best, now his songs are still legit but its kind of the same "my mom sucks, i love my daughter, my ex wife screwed me over" and rinse and repeat. I know white rappers who are underground who are better then Eminem imo

[QUOTE="ULTIMATEZWARRIO"]I don;t think he or anyone else ever claimed to be the best rapper. /QUOTE]

I see tons of people say "Eminem is the only rapper I like because he actually raps about real life stuff!".

(It's pretty annoying)

Ah yes. Those people. But if you look closely, they say they only listen to him. Which means they don't listen to any other good rappers. Which means their opinion is null and void. :)

I think many many people agree with you... His voice annoys me in some of his songs, and I feel like quite a few of his songs sound very similar.. My favourite rapper at the moment would be kanye( out of the more popular rappers).. His songs are unique, have fantastic production values and his rapping does have its moments.. tbh I wouldn't even put Eminem in my top 10 rappers!

Who's been saying that he's the best rapper? Of course there's someone other than you that doesn't think he's "the best" rapper.

He's not the best rapper, Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park is the best rapper I've ever seen. Just look up a song called "High Voltage"

NEWS FLASH: There is no such thing as the 'best rapper'. There is too much diversity in rapping ability to decide anything close to that. When Eminem is spitting fast and is on top of his game I think he can be pretty good. However, almost all his slow songs are terrible.

Oh have you heard B.o.B's "no genre" mixtape??? really good! Big Sean's been doing allright for himself, and his album could make it big( "my last" has been quite popular)... and kid cudi is great, no doubt about that...I would disagree about lil wayne, but that remains for another topic haha

The thing about Eminem is that he's really good at coming up with sick lyrics on the spot. Take a look at this for example (just skip to the part where it's hes turn): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ-q_Yb9t-s

Tell me what you think of him now.

Ok I listened to a few songs of his on Youtube and they do seem to have they're own sound but he still sings about the same old stuff most rappers do.

Havinga hard life, being high, sex...and so on.

I don't think he's as good as he used to be. I agree a lot of his recent work sounds one in the same although he remains a great lyricist. His older sound was a lot more creative, way more over the top. That being said, I think he's finally getting the credit/praise he always deserved minus the criticism he used to drown in.

well the fact that you cited Love the Way You Lie and On Fire instead of his older stuff, pretty much makes me think whatever your opinion on his skill is, is invalid. JPOBS

Love your sig.

His recent stuff is generic mainstream music. I'm all ofr Eminem going big, but his new songs are far less original in my opinion. They sound like what everyone else is releasing today. That being said, I think his old music was arguably deserving of the best rapper title.

Ye and he does like 3 raps in that video, each time it gets better n better. Eminem has an energizer bunny in he's head.

Relapse =/= not mainstream(in your sense of the word) Recovery is one album out of 7, he mixes his style up constantly, the most recent happened to be pop.

Relapse, gets crap talked for being weird, and having the acent, but if you get past that and look at how he structured the entire rhyme sceme off of that accent, porpusely trying to twist words as far as he could. It's hard to not appreciate it abit. He said himself that that whole abum was an experiment, and that he is bored of the english language.

Recovery was for all the fans tripping out thinking he went crazy in relapse. he overdid it and went pop.

eminem, pre and post Eminem Show, might as well be two different people. But the eminem Pre-Eminem show is easily top 5 rappers of all time imo.

i dont think he is the best rapper. I really dont like his music anymore either, i dont like how serious he has become now. He used to be so funny what he used to rap about, i assume he was on a lot of drugs when he used to rap like that though.

EDIT: By the way, I liked Relapse far more than I liked Recovery. To me, Recovery was just weirdcoming from Em. Relapse, while not gold, was fine.

That should go without saying. It's not even close IMO

Nah, I'm not big into Eminem, I'm more into Biggy, B.o.B., and Kid Cudi.

A lot of people do.
