Funny thing is, the only part of that song I can stand to hear is Ms. Rihanna's part.
Her voice is smoother & sweeter than Mexican Coca-Cola.

I like Eminem. His earlier stuff was a bit /b/ but has matured quite a bit for better or worse. If you don't like his music you at least have to respect him for making it big in a 99.99% black field, overcoming the Vanilla Ice issue, and helping to bring rap to a higher level (along with Dre, Snoop, Nas and others at the same time).
I know most of you won't give rap a second chance since it's not "your" music but at least give Eminem a shot. His duos with Dido and Rihanna are good to start with if you don't like rap just to get used to the rhythm. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that rap has evolved a lot. it's not just bitches niggas hoes 8-balls and gats to a drum beat and scratchboard anymore. Jay-Z doesn't even use four letter words in his. Sometimes I like the old school stuff, used to keep Compton's Greatest Music to Drive By on cue in the car changer if the mood struck.  Rap is a lot more artistic, intelligent and honest than what passes for country music these days. Give it a shot. -Mentally ill from Arfcomville |

Talent aside, I can't stand the entitlement mentality that pervades his earlier work. Whether or not it's still present, I don't know, haven't heard any of his other new songs. That mentality alone is enough to make me despise the man.

I would congratulate him on his success, but I'm not a fan of his music. He's obviously a hard working, self-made man who started with nothing and achieved monumentally. For that, I do respect him a great deal. Same can be said about almost every other rapper. If the majority of the fans were anything but ignorant, uneducated, illiterate, adolescents, they wouldn't have an audience. |

I actually like his newer stuff.
Early in his career he was good, then he lost it real quick with whatever crap he was putting out, and now he seems to be back on top of it again. At least he raps about life instead of facebook or other stupid shit. |

That's what I like about him, I know it's cliche to say it, but what he raps about is real. This. Eminem is easily my favorite artist of any genre to listen to. Ever listen to stan? That may be the greatest song ever (in my opinion) I never was a huge fan of the whole "Slim shady" Persona, but the Marshall mathers, eminem show, recovery, relapse (yea, i dug relapse... im not a huge fan of the accent thing, but it works well wiht those songs) but alot of his shit has some actual things that alot of people can relate to..instead of just talking about how good or bad love is, he may say just how fucked up love is... listen to these.. superman going through cahnges rock bottom if i had beautiful careful what you wish for toy soldiers the way i am stan like toy soldiers till i collapse sing for teh moment Kim( if you have ever been cheated on, or are pissed off at a girl...put that song on repeat.) no apologies rabbit run 8 mile lose yourself how come thats my list off the top of my head of his songs that i dig that have a deeper meaning to me. some of the stuff that guy puts out is just stupid and dumb (Fack) and some of it can be pretty damn funny (Bagpipes from bagdad. Girls. my band) Listen to his stuff alllllll day |

I saw this thread last night while I was at work. I turned the video on since I've haven't seen it yet and turned the music up pretty loud while my co-worker was talking to some 24 year old douchebag that was just brought to jail for assault domestic violence on his girlfriend (and a few added charges to go along, I might have been the douchebag for playing the song on purpose). I wonder if he got the message?

He's the only rap I can not only listen to, but enjoy as well. I've listened to him since about 7th grade. That said, Relapse was friggin' awesome, but Recovery is pretty toned down and mainstream.Me too, some of the old stuff is OK, the Tupac/Doggystyle era. Since then, crap crap crap. Eminem is pretty damn good though. But, I don't expect the fudds here to try anything outside their tiny box or like anything they didn't like in 1970. |
