Classics Discussion: Eminem

[mr.africa]

Just gonna leave this out there.

Eminem was gracious enough to let his biggest fan share a press conference with him. Look at the fan stare deep into Em's eyes with awe and wonder. He goes by the name of Nasir Jones, anybody know the dude and why he managed to get such privileges?

Out of all the highly respected MCs (jay z, nas, pac, Andre 3k etc, and yes, even though I don't like him, Em belongs in this category ), Eminem by far has released the woat singles to promote his albums: my name is, real slim shady, without me, my band. So much more. Dude is a clown.

Amazing albums.....what kills it for me is his albums lack replay quality.

Not to be contentious, but I've always thought that having replay value is crucial for an album to be designated as a classic. It's what separates merely good, or even great, albums from true classics. If you don't mind me asking, what constitutes a classic album to you?

SSLP TES and MMLP are classics to me

Not being contentious at all breh....

Replay value is a crucial aspect of an album. In a later post I cleared up what I really meant. It wasn't the replay quality that stopped me from listening to dude...it was more I outgrew his content. Especially the first 2 albums he had.

Zero.

I acknowledge Em can rap his ass off but as far as putting albums together....nah

Dude is just corny to me, I literally can't listen to his albums. No hate, just fact. I cringe at some point on every album.

Never, ever, in my entire time of listening to hip hop has anyone around me pulled out an em album. That's a long time

Let's put our Foolish Pride to the side and make sure that Marshall Mathers gets the respect and acclaim that he so righteously deserves for inventing hip hop and taking it to cerebral heights not seen prior or since

I hate rap, but I love Eminem

did Em change the game doing this? Because Ye came out rapping with no bass in his voice. And now we have Kendrick/Cole/Drake, and they all have no bass/confidence in their voices. In fact, most young rappers not called ASAP Rocky and Lil B have this nasal, insecure sounding rap voice.

shyt's irritating
