The Official Eminem Appreciation Thread

[HotRhymez]

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. I am your host, SlimShadyJB. Here we discuss anything about one of the biggest selling white rappers ever, Eminem. If you got any big news or updates, or just want to share an opinion about him, then this is your place! But please, let's keep it clean and not have any bloodshed, okay friends? Okay then, I will start us off.

Most of you have probably heard that Eminem was going to retire. Well, I found out a few weeks ago that he flatly denied it, and he said it was just a rumor. He never said he was really going to retire, he just needed a break, that was all. I agree with him, sometimes rapping can get to be a lot of work, and you need a break. But I'm just glad he hasn't given up yet.

I will admit, his latest CD Encore was not his best work. It had a few good songs though that made me laugh. It wasn't the greatest, but it wasnt the worst. His best CD IMO is the Marshall Mathers LP, I've been listening to it the last few days, and it's got some dope songs. If you don't have it in your CD collection, you're missing out. Get out there and pick it up.

Eminem is currently touring with other rappers, such as 50 Cent, G-Unit, and D-12 on the Anger Management Tour. They arent coming to my city though ...oh well.

That's it for now, when I think of anything cool to post, I will post it here. Adios.

I used to be really into Eminem, and I still look up to him much [His being so outspoken is really an admirable trait in my opinion]. I own all of his albums and I like quite a bit of what he says, excluding some of the really pointless stuff he does. He is by far the best rapper there is in my opinion, but I'm not really into rap like I said. Just thought I'd say you're pretty courageous for posting this cuz you're probably going to have a huge debate here Reps to ya

Thank you Infernal. I too admire him for being outspoken, he says what is on his mind and tells it like it is. That's why I listen to him, I can relate to him and some of the things he's gone through, and regardless of what most people say, there IS truth in a good number of his songs.In fact, I think it would be better if we had more white rappers like him in the rap game. We don't have very many now..the only other white rappers I know of are Vanilla Ice, John Cena, and Paul Wall, and they aren't exactly legends, lol.

Yes, I know there might be some heated debates in this topic, but that's okay. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. I actually like debating sometimes, it makes you think about stuff and learn new things. But thanks for the reps, I will send the blessings-mobile to you for reward

Peace

Agreed.

= Eminem in 5 years.

I think Eminem is like marilyn Manson in that he reverts to using shock to sell albums.

I think this is a bit silly. What has Eminem said in his songs that is so much more shocking than anything else in rap?

 

[steve_kyle]

Is Eminem talented? Sure. However, his complete disregard for other people, and everyone except himself just makes him sound like a whining baby. With the endless tirade of cursing and sexual junk, he just does not cut it for me. I wish he WOULD retire.

 

[feline]

His lyrics have made me laugh. He's a teensy bit more creative than 95% of mainstream rap/hip hop.

 

[zaire]

Eminem is the only half decent rapper around. Has has some quailty songs.

 

[fieldy]

He should retire before he fades away into irrelevancy.

Can I ask you a question? What has he done in his life that makes you think he only cares about himself and nobody else? I believe he is a caring person, I believe he cares about his young daughter, his producers, record company and co-workers and fans, because if he didn't care about them, he wouldn't be where he is today because they helped him reach success. Just a thought..

Also, I understand many people do have a problem with swearing and profanity and that is their belief and I respect that, but sometimes the best way for some people to convey a message and express themselves is by using some strong words in their lyrics, and that's the best way for Em, it seems. Now I do agree that Eminem ONCE in awhile does some stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that is his choice, and he can do whatever he pleases.

 

[symphonyb]

I can't help but love his lyrics,and him.*waits for kick*

 

[TerabyTe]

His older stuff is good, he kinda sucks now though. But come on dude, how many Em threads have you made already?

Hmmm...only two, including this one, i believe. We haven't had a rap music topic in awhile here in the secular music section so I decided to create one.

 

[Sacrifice]

Yea I'm also a fan. I got all his albums, but Encore really sucked imo. The Marshall Mathers LP was his best imo. I still think he's one of the best rappers out there.

God Bless.

Two? Are you kidding? I could've sworn you made alot more.

But maybe my memory serves me wrong? Eh, either way, it doesn't matter.

I think alot of debate regarding Eminem has arisen in other threads.

 

[HotRhymez]

Yeah ^ thats happened a few times


bump, lets not let this topic die, my friends..

 

[philN]

Eh, I think we can let it die.

I mean, Eminem is alright. He's got some good songs. He's got some not so good songs.

I hardly think that warrants having a never-ending appreciation thread for him.
