Discussion: Is Eminem Overrated? - Page 20

Belle

Eminem is absolutely overrated, but not necessarily bad. Just far past his prime.

TREMendo

Yes he is, he used to be fun, now he's all serious and boring

K@rm@

Hell Yes.

YourMadGesty

Yes.Yes he is....he's a formatted '1 trick pony'
He normally gives you one 'silly' 1st single.& then the rest is

'angry.angry.punch wall...
talk about killing kim.do drugs.rap about the bike my mom never bought me.
...angry.angry.punch wall.'

or somethin' along those lines.

If his race is a key factor of his success, name me at least 5 white rappers that made it to the Itunes top 10 in the last couple of years and then try to recall all the black rappers with the same achievement. Hell, name me five white rappers that broke to the top 100 at least. Then try to compare these numbers and tell me which group of rappers is in a minority.

I've been asking this question in lots of discussions of this nature and I never got the answer. I really want to know where are the crowds of the other white rappers. Shouldn't they supposed to be on top according to this cliche (and btw racist) argument? IMO, Eminem is underrated and belittled every single day based on this cliche alone.

He is way better than Ludacris! What Ludacris song tells a story, makes you think? I like Luda but hes on a much lower level.

Anyone who says he isn't fun anymore obviously didn't listen to Hell The Sequel (particularly Fast Lane and I’m On Everything).
And So Bad and WTP on Recovery were fun. Just cos they're not singles doesn't mean they don't exist.

Maybe cuz Eminem can actually rap compared to the other white rappers that have attempted. That doesn't change the fact that he is overrated. The hype of him being a white boy with flow is what carried him, and it still is. The difference is he was way better when he debuted, and that's where his respect came from. He makes it to the top 10 of itunes these days off his name alone which shows his power, however that power came from him being originally known as the white boy who can rap.

Orsay

Just a little.

I think he is brilliant and a great rapper.
Death @ you bitches saying he would be viewed similarly to Ludacris were he black. Yall really think they got the same lyrcial content?

Ludacris has songs like "Runaway Love," "Freedom of Preach," "Child of the Night" and several other thought-provoking songs.

YES!!!

Eminem is not overrated! Eminem talk about real **** in his music, while other rapper just talk about sex, and money. Eminem is the best rapper because a lot of his rapper peers respect him and he barely get diss by any other rapper because they scared of him. No one scared of Lil Wayne, Kanye West, or Jay-Z because they get diss almost everyday! Eminem is one of the best artist we ever had. No one can't **** with Eminem.

Slice

- Love him or hate him, Eminem is respected by Hip Hop greats like one of the best MC of all time. From Kanye to Kool G Rap to Scarface to Rakim

- Lupe Fiasco said in a freestyle : "I can't **** with Eminem, but got everybody else covered"
(http://realtalkny.uproxx.com/2009/11...-else-covered/).
The Game admits that he can't **** with him at all.

- Black rappers doesn't care about his skin color and admit is one the best. They don't use the race card because they know what is ability is. Yelawolf/Bubba/Necro/Wall are all white, they don't have this level of success.

Eminem is that guy :

Well check all his discography and collab...

And I don't even need to use classic track like Lose Yourself, Stan and all of theses. Eminem is like Jay-Z, Nas or Kanye : nothing to prove anymore to anyone.
