Poll: Eminem. Yes or No?

[Flying Dagger]

His old stuff was alright, his new stuff not so much...

Not anywhere near the brilliance of dan le sac vs scroobius pip.

 

[superbatranger]

He's one of the few rappers I can listen to, and enjoy listening to at the same time.

 

[Goremocker]

Oddly enough, he seems to be the only rapper left with real meaning behind his songs. So yeah, he's great.

Wow you couldn't be more wrong

Cool, I only hear that by word of mouth. I hate rap so I don't even listen to it. May you elaborate?

 

[Azure Sky]

Damn right I like M&Ms! They be tasty!

...wait, you meant Rap music?
*Grabs torch and pitchfork*

Only genra of music I dislike more is Country. =(

 

[CovertCell]

Out of the albums I've got Recovery is by far his best work. I thought Relapse was great, but I'm glad to see Recovery take a more serious tone.

 

[blankedboy]

Oh god no. It's rap, you can't do that well unless it's I'm Awesome by Spose, and that's only because it's kind of hip-hop instead...
And because the lyrics are fucking hilarious

Ya sorry I threw an edit in but you missed it. What I was trying to say is that Eminem's strong points are the way he puts his words together but generally his music isn't really meaningful beyond the whole "I'm angry at the establishment" and even that theme is very thin.

They're are many rappers and groups that have a lot of meaning behind they're songs. I can understand not liking rap but to say the genre lacks meaning is kind of offensive to people who really like the genre. But ya MF DOOM, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan are rappers that have plenty of meaning behind they're lyrics.

 

[SirDeadly]

Wow, really close poll! I don't like him, never have, never will.

 

[HuntrRose]

I really don't like rap at all so I'm a automatic no. I really can't stand his music anyway. Just annoys me some how.

*adds a vote*

Hmm, thanks for the input. I'll be sure to check in on those guys, and when I do I guess I'll have a new argument against people when the subject comes up.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

He is the only rapper that raps about something other then bootie and hoes.

What, murdering his wife? I guess it makes for a change of pace...

 

[Soxafloppin]

Well he doesnt make me rage with hatred when i hear his songs.

But my Ipod is void of any of his music.

Im kind of Neutral

Lol murdering his wife on which song? theres only about a dozen of them

 

[Custard_Angel]

No. No. No. No. No.

From day 1 I hated him. I will always hate what he does. Fact of life.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I don't like much rap, but I enjoy Eminem. It seems like he's one of the few rappers who doesn't just sing about how he and his homies are total pimps.

Really? because he actually does quite a lot. In fact I really don't understand why so many people give Eminem a pass and then in the same breath say they don't like the content of other rappers when Eminem has been one of the most offensive rappers i've listened to. With that said I am an avid Eminem fan but then again I like a lot of Hip hop.

[HEADING=1]EXACTLY!![/HEADING]

It actually pisses me off and grinds my shit to a fine powder. All these people who try and say he's the only artist with a positive thing to say...it's like they don't even listen to his music. In fact, fuck this...


I like Eminem, but I'm a hip-hop die-hard, and he's given in to commercialism far too much (see: Ass Like That). Anyone who tries to say Eminem is the only good rapper left in hip-hop with something to say offends me.

My friend used to say (hell, Eminem says) if Eminem was black he'd sell half as much and be half as popular.

I disagreed, but...

 

[VulakAerr]

Yeah, I like him. As a lot of people have said, it's the only rap I can listen to. I don't mind that he only writes about stuff relating to himself... you write about what you know and what's important to you. I'm just glad it's not "hoes and big-screen TVs".

 

[Keepitclean]

When he was a new artist I liked how he was serious and obnoxious at the smae time. His last two albums however were just boring.

 

[Deadpewl]

He is the only rapper that raps about something other then bootie and hoes.

Look up Lupe Fiasco.

I voted yes cause he is fucking hilarious. A he seems a little conceited at times but still funny. When hes not being funny he kind of sucks though imo.

also this^
Like I said, hes funny but savior of hip hop he is not (I prefer Lupe anyway).

Really Eminem doesn't rap about hoes?

Pimp Like Me (Eminem's chrous)

You just a .. (hoe)
You just my .. (hoe)
Dirty-ass .. (hoe)
I'm yo' pimp, you my *****
[repeat first part 3X]

Go get my .. (dough)
Go bring me my .. (dough)
Dirty-ass .. (hoe)
I'm yo' pimp, you my *****

Pimplikness (Eminem's verse)

Well I'm not a pimp or a player, see I'm more like the mayor
Grab a ***** up by her hair like I just don't care
and swing her in the air (AHH!) I'm talkin major ass kick
Toss a ***** out the house like Kwame Kirkpatrick
I'm a PIMP, so I give a fuck about a *****
But I don't make 'em trick, I'm RICH (whoo!)
I don't need the chips, they don't walk the strip
But I could spit some game and I could talk some shit
I'm somethin like a pimp, similar to a mack
I ain't makin the news, I make my baby mama pick up the slack
Drop Cadillac, truck {*phone rings*} fuck, I gotta go
That's my bottom ho pagin me back - I'm a pimp

Superman (Eminem's Verse)

Don't get me wrong, I love these ho's
It's no secret, everybody knows
Yeah we fucked, ***** so what, that's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends, i'll call you again, i'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car i'll be in, we'll see how much you'll be partying then
You don't want that, neither do I, I don't want to flip when I see you with guys
Too much pride, between you and I
Not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two
I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you...

Exactly. How many times can you get away with doing the exact same thing on track? Which apparently quite a lot of sympathisers haven't heard, which is odd.

I swear these guys need a serious lesson in hip-hop.
