It's clear to me now the only reason this dude sold ALL THOSE UNITS is the color of his skin...

Same reason Vanilla Ice caked heavy in the game in the 90's...

:ld:

When we talk about a body of work...
Eminem doesn't measure up to Nas, Jay-Z, or even Kanye...

If Eminem was black his career numbers would mirror Tech N9ne...
And that's certainly not meant as a diss to Tech N9ne just saying the type of music and the dark content...

Tech N9ne is the artist Em would be if he was black...

Conversely as I say this... I consider Tech N9ne to be the most underrated rapper in the game...

We need someone as gifted as this writer to express the flaws with Eminem as well this essay expresses the flaws with J. Cole's mediocrity:

Shock value has no lasting value. His songs like Rock Bottom tend to have more staying power.

It's not completely, utterly wack today... it's just lost so much of what impressed me before. As a middle school kid, this guy was technically amazing. Now, it's just cartoonish. This isn't true of everything I liked in 6th grade, Em's music is just stylistically dated. His style is like a fad that was dope as fukking hell at the time but got played the fukk out.

its definitely difficult trying to find memorable tracks on his albums, they are few and far in between.

for the most part OP might be right

Em was my shyt when I was in Middle School.. but as I grew up I realized how god damn annoying his voice was.. AND once I got into Cage and noticed and learned he bit Cage's whole white rapper, rapping about fukked up parents, suicide and shyt "persona" and style hard af and ran with it.. I lost the respect I had for him.. Esp since Cage did it A LOT better

Em's mediocrity just got wayyy too many passes. Especially Encore and Recovery.
