Eminem, Overrated?
Am I the only one who thinks this?
I don't see his music life changing, and to me it all sounds roughly along the same lines. His rapping doesn't have any versatility.. No doubt i'm going to be attacked with pitchforks now, but just thought id see why people liked him.. |

I actually agree. I love his old stuff, but his latest album recovery was just sooooo depressing! He needs to cheer up!
I don't understand why some people brand him the greatest rapper of all time Jay-Z is in my opinion.

Well, when you're that famous you're inevitably going to be overrated...but I have to admit, I don't particularly like him or truly understand why he is so popular.
To me, he's very hit and miss. He seems to only have two settings; angry or silly. The latter makes him come across as a parody rap act with novelty songs, and as fun as they are...I can't really imagine listening, and appreciating, them as music. Then he does the 'serious stuff', which has produced some good songs no doubt...but he can only really do one thing and thats 'bla bla bla Hayley, I ****ed up, bla bla bla, **** you mom, bla bla bla drugs.' Stan is easily his best work, and I don't think it's surprising that none of his cliche's are involved. The recent stuff is extremely overrated I think. Flawed or not, his earlier stuff is good...but can't say I rate 'Not Afraid' at all. It's such a watered down Eminem. If it weren't for 'Love The Way You Lie' I wouldn't be surprised if the mainstream ignored Recovery like they did Relapse. |

No it isn't but i'm just saying this is the 2nd thread you've made in just a matter of months so most people have already commented in your original thread. Nothing more to be said now.

I'm not a fan, but can understand why others might be. In my personal view he is a bit overrated - his music doesn't evoke any emotion from me at all really, I just find it a bit blah. Apart from Stan, which is very good.

He was skint. He wrote great lyrics. Got famous. Rich.
Then his head got stuck up his arse. I've seen little of the talent he showed on the first two albums. The man is woeful now. |

By far. And he really isn't that attractive either.

His first 2 albums were awesome, since then his work has been dire. The minute he went "mainstream" and started to suck on the pop music "cock" he was toast.

If it wasn't for LTWYL, I wouldn't have brought his album. I think Kanye is the best in the game, but I respect Eminem for how long he's been going. He's quite old in terms of rap age, like Jay Z.

I wouldnt say he was overated..most people like at least one eminem song, he is liked by pop fans and hardcore hip hoppers..
just becuase he is the biggest selling rapper of all time..that dosnt make him the best, hes just the best rapper that most people have heard of Everlast - whiteys revenge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLcqqpWxqvg Canibus and DZK feat d12 - Airstrike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAXR6zV2zyQ |

Stan was great, but then so was Thank You by Dido. |

Jay-Z is in my opinion.
