I just feel like Eminem does a better way portraying the pictures he paints with his lyrics. What many may say is him speaking angrily, I see as passion and delivery:
"Stan" describes an obsessed, psychotic fan much like some of the assholes on this very forum
"We as Americans" criticizes the society that we live in
"Rock Bottom" is a very relate-able song highlighting the pain, depression, and frustrations of everyday struggle
and with other songs such as "Yellow Brick Road", "Lose Yourself", "Toy Soldiers", "Mockingbird", "Sing For the Moment", "Guilty Conscious", and "Space Bound" I think it's a mess to say he's overrated and a 1-dimensional rapper who only talks about his ex wife and his daughter. He's highlighted drug addiction, heartbreak, government corruption, depression, fatherhood, peer pressure, and more. He's versatile. He damn sure raps about more meaningful stuff than today's Jay-Z and he murdered Jay on his own damn track in Renegade.
That's not to say that Jay doesn't deserve props. With "Hard Knock Life", "Where I'm From", "99 Problems", etc... he has vouched that he indeed has talent, but nowadays he's rehashing the same **** over again and only raps about money, clothes, fame, and power. It makes you kind of forget about how brilliant he can be or used to be.
Nas... There's nothing to really say, to be honest. Nas is a storyteller and a poet. He's a lyrical genius.
