Just heard the new Eminmen single ...

Eh, I kinda like Eminem, but... I wouldn't put him in the same league as guys like Aesop Rock, El-P, Alias, Saul Williams, Sage Francis, Illogic, etc. Obviously he's making wayyyy more money than any of these indie hip hop guys, but I think their music is more creative and lyrics more intelligent.

I'd definitely put him in the same class. But you're right - there are soooooo many decent rappers. When people go on rants about how hip-hop sucks, they just look fucking ignorant to me. Horizon expansion ftw.

Haha he reminds me of


Good stuff.

I like Eminem, and love how he makes lyric that flows awesome and at the same time is interesting to listen to.

But I would never be able to listen to a whole CD of his, there is IMO alot of bad songs between the good ones.

Oh and how lil wayne got so famous is beyond me.

Ugh god, that one with Lil Wayne is horrible. Lil Wayne just sucks in general.
Do dig a lot of Eminem's stuff in general though.

I used to like Eminem a lot more then now. The beat is crap and nowadays there isn't as much fire in his spitting as back in the days. And that hook is terrible. Yes, he has an impressive flow, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the track.
Right now RA the Rugged man totally shits all over Eminen to me.

FOTC FTW!!!!!!!!

And this is one of Eminem's best performances for sure and it's much better than the version with Jay-Z (royce is really sick in this too). His first verse in this... damn.


This one is SICK too, goddamn Royce owns that track at least as much as Eminem, wow.

oh and while we're at it there have been some reallyllllyyyyyyy awesome hip hop albums in the last few years after a long of time of mainstreamed bullshit.

jay z's "blueprint 3" and kanye west's "my beautiful dark twisted fantasy" are iconic hip hop albums as far as i'm concerned. i challenge one person to tell me "monster" isn't a BOMB of a track. nicki minaj kills it. or someone tell me "runaway" isn't the catchiest beat

i love old school stuff like wu tang, nas, etc. especially from the 90s. not fond of the newer stuff or of the 00s decade as it was saturated with a lot of shit.

now look at what you just saw this is what I live for AHHHHHH IM A MOTHAFUCKIN MONSTER

I fucking love nicki minaj. I also like the kanye album in general, though I think monster and runaway are the strongest tracks on there.

Anybody actually remember the original song that's being sampled here?
