When he doesn't incorporate punchlines into his rhymes at all? He's a monster with multis, but I've never heard him use punch lines or metaphors.... Does he even have ONE that's memorable. Of course jay, has, Pac, etc have plenty.

He does have punchlines.

E.g. I'll run ya brain around the block to jog ya fukkin memory

You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn't go out with a bang

You hear this finger? Oh it's upside down

Here, lemme turn this motherfukker up right now

I don't think you need punchlines to be the greatest lyricist of all time but I don't think Eminem is anywhere near being that, can think of a lot of artists better lyrically.

Eminem is incredibly overatted that's all.

If he was as good as "they" say we'd have a multitude of classics to look back on. One trick pony ass rapper.
more overrated than your grammar?

Wth? Go listen to infinite or Eminem period cause I'm sure u don't

A lot of rappers aren't punchline rappers anyway. Nas rarely incorporate them in his rhymes and he's top 2 of all time. Punchline rappers can become dated and corny real quick anyway

Eminem uses a lot of punchlines

"You couldn't make the crowd throw up their hands if they swallowed their fingers"

"I'll run your brain around the block to jog your fukking memory"

But regardless you don't need punchlines to be a great rapper. Nas, Rakim, Black Thought only used them sparingly
