thinking em is controversial in 2021

tyler and hopsin in 2011 were wayy worse than em in the 90s with the edgy s***

I aint doing edgy by comparison. Everyone you listed is edgy

I cant look up to an artist that joked about raping Lana Del Rey and beating women thats just weird. Is he talented? yes. Do I like some of his songs? yes. He got heavy streams ? yes. But he not for me.

Em is one of the biggest examples of revisionist history

Like yeah we get he dropped a lot of trash in 2010s but it doesn’t mean his first albums are not classics or that he didn’t have any impact etc

I’m saying this as someone who has never even listened to most of Eminem discog lol

Eminem has multiple classic albums imo and I’m not a fan of his music for the most part. “10/10 songs” or “no misses” aren’t the only criteria for a classic imo

basically yes he advanced the genre and made some music many relisten to day to day

congrats to him and his staying power

I don’t listen to him either. I can’t remember the last time I opened up Apple Music searched for an Eminem album and hit play.

That doesn’t change the fact that he served his fanbase w classics

Man I remember being a big fan (not a stan) thinking he go down the goat but unbiased for a second this just ain't true no matter how many times people say this. He would have to do a big turn around to get back in that discussion. I say somewhere in the top 25 that's not bad

but was that ever a debate?

So then why are y’all disagreeing with me

Three*

real thread

Recovery is dumpster juice

3, arguably 4 and I’m a huge early em fan

if you put a gun to my head and said name 4 eminem songs i would die because i swear to god i only know stan that song from 8 mile and that d12 one

I’ve never liked virtually any of em’s discography except a small handful of songs but anyone denying he has classics and huge genre impact/influence is delusional

This is cap

Theres no way you dont know Forever, The Monster, Love The Way You Lie, The Real Slim Shady, etc

Youd have to be either 13 or living under a rock

Crine

y’all eminem is not good , and the fact that he did numbers really doesn’t do anything for me. the conversation around “the greats” will always change over time and in 2021 we all have to realize that em is really boring

ok you’re right i know real slim shady and i looked up love the way you lie and remembered the hook, but i’m mostly just exaggerating for comedic effect on the internet

I hate Em but this is some major cap

Recover is not a classic
