I agree I think he has some nice rhymes but his voice is just meh, same goes for Kanye. THe opposite works for Kid Cudi though, his singing voice is one of my favorites in any genre, but his raps are just....meh

Technician is literally the only rapper you can put up against Eminem, skill-wise.

You don't have to even look outside of shady records to find a better rapper than eminem.

This is the truth.

Royce >>> Em

Um Em is THE ONLY rapper right now. Hands down above and beyond what anyone else is doing. "Forever" Em kills drake, kanye, and wayne. "Drop the World" he kills wayne a second time. "No Love" Em does just to show that he means business. Then he got T.I. in "all she wrote."

Recovery wasn't even one of the best 25 rap albums last year if you ask me.

Yeah he usually brings it on guest appearances but his last few albums have had absolutely no replay value for me.

Hmm I seem to remember he won Rap Album of the Year. Recovery had some great tracks on it. Don't get me wrong there was some filler for sure, but I think the fact that he is letting people other than himself and Dre produce tracks is doing wonders for his sound.

You're using Grammys to prove your point? :?

I guess Katy Perry's Teenage Dream was one of the 5 best albums released all of last year then?

I could easily name 15 rappers who are killin' it more than Em right now music-wise. Eminem is an incredible rapper though and not a whole lotta other guys could keep up with him. If he tried to diversify his beats/music a bit he could own the game again.

I won't argue about forever, that one is subjective, But I'm sorry on drop the world and no love wayne got stomped on. I don't see how lyrically you can possibly deny it.

Marshall Mathers is a certified classic along with Slim Shady LP. Both are leaps and bounds ahead of Eminem Show and the rest are way behind.

lol, no one on Shady Records is as talented as Eminem. Slaughter House can hang with him (not outshine) in the area of rhyme scheme, but that's it.

I don't think he's the best rapper, but he's pretty good sometimes people like Eminem because they can't identify with black rappers, but the white guy they understand totally

I love Eminem, but over the course of his career, he's been unable to make it in my top three. He spent entirely too much time on his personal life. But what I will say, and I personally believe there is no one else that can do this better than him, is that he can be incredibly funny on other people's songs and mix tapes. He's extremely talented, which even haters can agree to if you'd just listen to the rhyme scheme of some of his songs.

This. I find eminem almost unlistenable, just by how angry he sounds in most of his songs.

I think wayne just flows better and speaks more clearly and uses really good metaphors, like in NO LOVE eminem was just that screaming tiredsome flow he always does and if you break down his speedy rap, the lyrics are actually not that incredible and when i compare them i actually like Waynes better. On Drop the world Wayne was REALLY creative - I got ice in my viens, blood in my eyes hate in my heart, love of my mind i see nights full of pain, days of the same you keep the sunshine save me the rain He just his stories in these songs(not all of them) very well and creative, he also kills the hook on this song!

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

(It's pretty annoying)

Blame the fact that much of the popular rap songs are about getting b!tchs, being a pimp/gangsta, or getting high...

Yeah I own just about everything Em's put out throughout the years. Honestly, I like Relapse more than Recovery although critically Recovery was the better of the two albums. Like I said he's one of my favorite artists. I kind of consider myself to be a bit of a Stan.
