Superman was the shit.

Which was on "The Eminem Show", not Encore.

 

[twobear]

I think this is pretty much all that needs to be said tbh

wat

The 20/20 Experience is pretty bad.

 

[Romars202129]

Yeezus getting a 9.5 and MMLP 2 getting 4.7 is a fucking joke.

It is a joke. The actual metacritic scores are
Yeezus
Critical 85/ User 7.7

MMLP 2
Crit 72/ User 8.4

Artemesia's numbers were wrong.
Though, she's probably loading up her metacritic account to go 0 the album right now and help make them right, lol.

 

[Artemisia]

Wait.

Eminem has performed with Elton John though.

That's real homophobic of him, especially the part when he hugged him afterwards.

kkkkk you aren't serious

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

kkkkk you aren't serious

i bet he has black friend too

Girl what?

the 4.7 was from pitchfork, hun.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

He said lyrics were trash and so were beats...

The two moving parts of hip-hop

I feel like we're pointlessly running round in circles here, but he was replying to someone saying that lyrics were more important than production. He then argued that it's unlikely he'll have good lyrics when he doesn't have good production. I'm not really seeing the connection here...

Both are needed obviously, but the argument was that Eminem is lyrically better than Kanye. Eminem making better music than Kanye is a whole other argument.

9.5 and 4.7 are the P4K scores not Metacritic.

Are you implying this makes what he continues to spew in his half-baked albums okay?
Because it doesn't. He can stop using the word "faggot" if he really has had a change of heart.

 

[OnettHansen]

i bet he has black friend too

Quite a lot I imagine considering the nature of the industry.

 

[Majestad]

Are you implying this makes what he continues to spew in his half-baked albums okay?

He still uses those words to piss off people like you exactly dude. Are you gonna let him get away?

 

[Talents]

You're bullshitting me? The next thing you'll say is that he apologised to his mother.

 

[Partition]

He still uses those words to piss off people like you exactly dude. Are you gonna let him get away?

Are you going to stop defending him and pretending there is an excuse for it?

 

[OnettHansen]

I'm not implying anything, except the fact that faggot is rarely used as an insult towards gay people anymore.

Jeez louise.

 

[twobear]

Exactly like who? Gay people who object to the word 'faggot' being used to mean 'bitch' or 'asshole'?

I'm not implying anything, except the fact that faggot is rarely used as an insult towards gay people anymore.

Are you gay?

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

fdddddddddddddddfgh

 

[OnettHansen]

Are you gay?

No I'm straight sir.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I thought it was pretty good, even though I don't usually listen to this kind of genre.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Jeez louise.

wat

 

[Jaxter09]

Listening to Encore has you subjected to Puke, My 1st Single, Rain Man and Big Weenie in a row. No amount of endless mediocre hooks can compare to that torture.

 

[Kyzer]

Except it's a bad song filled with forced multi's and weak easy rhymes. There are some technically okay lines but it's all ruined by his voice and annoying flow that operate like running paragraphs.

Every eminem song now:

Going to the store for some chips, and
looking for a particular milk brand
came across a little kid holding a big pan
slammed it over my head, so i grabbed his hand
and threw him at the wall, saw the blood ruin all the walls
it was like a work of art, guess you could call me Rembrandt
and say what you want, i'm BACK as a lyrical KING!!!
with minimal BLING, i don't give a shit what you THINK
now listen to me SING, about my affinity for the DRINK
just kiddING, i prefer drugs

Then he goes on another tangent about something else, continues to use annoying yelling voice. If he says all of this fast people will think it's impressive.

This sums up what I think of all his new stuff perfectly.

 

[twobear]

No I'm straight sir.

Then please don't seek to tell gay people whether we're over using the word faggot in a derogatory way. It's a bit like a white guy telling some black people that it's okay to use the n word.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Taylor Swift and Eminem fans arguing over who is worse

Both make simplistic, bad music. Let's be real. Eminem can barely flow over a beat in 2013 and his entire album revolves around junior high humor and generic "you can do it if you try" platitudes. Meanwhile Taylor Swift has been putting out Babby's First Country Album playsets for years.

Go listen to some decent hip hop, and some Neko Case.

 

[Z..]

MM2 is pretty great IMO. Headlights, So Far and Rap God are some of his beat songs IMO.

Not big on lyrics, are you?

A rap song needs at least 2 good elements out of the 3 (production, flow, lyrics). He's delivering on flow, but that's about it. Shitty production and the worst lyrics of his career.

He needs to starve and be ignored if he's ever to have any real shot at a comeback. Hope I'm wrong, though...

 

[Satch]

Jeez louise.

I don't remember saying anything about overuse, but okay.

 

[Fry]

Taylor Swift and Both make simplistic, bad music. Let's be real.

In your opinion. We all know you don't like Eminem already, let it go.

 

[twobear]

I don't remember saying anything about overuse, but okay.

I didn't say overusing, I said whether we're over using it in that way. As in, 'whether it's not used in that way any more'.

 

[OnettHansen]

I didn't say overusing, I said whether we're over using it in that way. As in, 'whether it's not used in that way any more'.

Ahh Okay, I get the jist now.

 

[twobear]

Ahh Okay, I get the jist now.

Sorry it was kind of poor wording on my behalf.

But still please don't tell a bunch of gay dudes whether faggot is an okay word to use.

 

[OnettHansen]

Sorry it was kind of poor wording on my behalf.

No worries we got there in the end.

Edit: You shouldn't apologise to me after I said something so careless.

 

[Artemisia]

The scalding tea is that you probably haven't spent any time at all with Her albums.

The worst lyrics of his career? What are you babbling about. Yeah, the fantastic Bad Guy, sequel to Stan, has horrible lyrics OMG!

Rap God isn't impressive, but what's wrong with Headlights and So Far?

 

[Talents]

I didn't say overusing, I said whether we're over using it in that way. As in, 'whether it's not used in that way any more'.

I don't feel it's used as much in that way anymore. Me and my mates pretty much use it as a greeting to each other. We also say "sup bitches" to each other as a greeting, doesn't mean we're calling each other female dogs.

 

[Fry]

MMLP 2 is pretty solid, lyrics-wise.

 

[Romars202129]

Girl what?

the 4.7 was from pitchfork, hun.

My mistake, sorry bout it.
Also, can't a guy just like some damn eminem up in here without you getting all bothered?
You know a lesbian girl turned me onto him? If he's the enemy of the lbgt community you say he his, sure are enough people of it that like him. Especially that Elton John.
What a traitor right? Helping a homophobe hide in plain sight like that by performing with him.
Maybe he's a self hating gay to do that stuff?

i loved relapse

In your opinion. We all know you don't like Eminem already, let it go.

I like Eminem, he has three great albums. But if you like Eminem's current music you literally don't know anything about hip hop. That's not an opinion it's a fact. I can understand someone liking Recovery, which while I don't like it at all at least Eminem is rapping somewhat competently on it. But if you like MMLP2, Relapse, or Encore you don't have good taste period.

And I'm tired of Eminem fans who only listen to Eminem. Go do some research and expand your horizons.

You gotta be kidding me. Wow dude, wow.

 

[Z..]

I think you just got nostalgia man. I've literally only listened to the greatest hits album, rap god, and a rhihana feat. That's everything I've heard so far from him.
If not the best, rap god certainly seems deserving to be among the best. IMO, of course.

What in the hell is going on in here? Oo

Not quite sure I agree. His songs haven't really changed much over the past years. I listen to a lot of other rappers and other genres, by the way.

 

[Angry Fork]

And I'm tired of Eminem fans who only listen to Eminem.

This seems to be almost every Em fan now. They've never heard a black rapper that Em didn't endorse/sign to his label but they think they have the right to say he's the best ever.

 

[Majestad]

Haha. You should tell this to all the rappers who put Em on their personal GOAT lists.

That "oh, only Em stans think he's the GOAT" argument is so ridiculously awful.

 

[Moze]

Recovery and MMLP2 are by far his worst.

 

[Fry]

This seems to be almost every Em fan now. They've never heard a black rapper that Em didn't endorse/sign to his label but they think they have the right to say he's the best ever.

Pusha T's album is one of the best of the year.

Satisfied?

 

[Kyzer]

Idk. Eminems old stuff is just so cool and he has so much to say and he really projects the emotions he felt nowadays I just feel like he rhymes. And its all just trying to emulate his old stuff. Hes like a parody of himself. Hes trying to be eminem, which is why hes not being eminem.

 

[Romars202129]

What in the hell is going on in here? Oo

Everytime someone says this, I reload up Rap God, just to see if I was mistaken.
Sorry dude, still sounds really hype to me.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Haha. You should tell this to all the rappers who put Em on their personal GOAT lists.

It's not because of his recent albums.

What is with this elitist attitude? Relapse is an amazing album as well
