Eminem never made a dope album to me. He's a gifted rapper but his beat selection is pretty bad. I liked most of the slim shady ep and about half of the slim shady & marshall mathers lp's. each album I liked less and less tracks and I didn't even check for his new shit.
How you gonna roll with Dr Dre and have wack beats? I don't understand that shit....

Everyone has their own taste I guess... I like the SSLP, and the MMLP, and various other tracks he's released... but, to me he's not up to par with others I've heard... His fans will still call him the greatest, or other people will hold him high to a certain lyrical level, but to me he's not up there...
It's like asking people what the best restaurant is, and them saying McDonalds... We all know McDonalds isn't the best, but they're one the most well known in the world, because of advertising and promotion... The same applies to Eminem... He's everywhere, from TV to the internet, and then the radio... It's easy to get swept up in the hype...
It could be possible that you connect with Eminem through his music... I won't dispute that, because we've had discussions about hip-hop in the past, and I see where you stand... At the same time I will say that most the people I know that hold him to the level of the "GOAT" or Top 5 of all time, are the same ones that turn a blind eye to any talent that's not on the radio...
The truth is, that Eminem would not be where he is without a multibillion dollar corporation pushing him... He has been in the position to help other artists succeed, but has failed to do so... even his close friends... I look at hip-hop as something more than money, it's about real emotion and feeling... It happens too often that mainstream artists lose that in the process of gaining "stardom"...
I do believe he's naturally gifted, but at the same time think he's being fake to sell records and appease fans...
well, I think most popular artists wouldn't be where they are without multibillion dollar corporations pushing them, there are tons of mainstream artists that are popular because they have a label/radio/tv behind them pushing them... the difference is Eminem happens to have talent and a lot of these other guys don't
when you say Em has been fake are you referring to his music or the fact that he hasn't been able to put other artists on
if you're referring to his music I completely disagree, I think he says how he feels and puts his whole life and his emotions out there... I don't think that's fake
maybe some people think he sold out because he used "pop beats" on Recovery... I personally liked a lot of the production on that album... that just come down to personal preference
if you're referring to him not putting other artists on, I agree he hasn't done much... tried with D12, but they're just not that good (except Proof) I'd like to see him put on Royce... but I mean who knows... there's a lot of politics and bullshit that goes on behind the scenes, and without knowing all that stuff it wouldn't be fair to pass judgment in that regard
I'm just going off how I feel about his music... not anything else... I don't know the guy personally... so that doesn't matter to me

By the way, can someone please, for once, explain to me what Juggalo dick riding music is? How do you determine what Juggalo dick riding music is? What do the beats have to sound like? What do you have to rap about to be classified in that Tech hating genre? Bunch of ppl say that shit, but can never explain it. I look forward to hearing your unprepared responses because your just talking out of your ass.
