How do you rate Eminem as lyricist?

[Bretty Poy32]

Eminem's top notch. What I really like about him is the fact that he's very reserved and keeps to himself.

Skylar Grey revealed this news to the Daily Mirror this week, saying: “I feel sorry for Em. It’s kind of sad. I see a lot of isolation, I wonder if has got any really close friends.”

I honestly see nothing wrong with Eminem's extreme introversion. If anything, I think it helps him excel as much as he does.

Call it anti-socialism, but I enjoy isolation and having time to myself. Quite frankly, having a lot of friends is extremely overrated in my opinion.

it seems like introversion runs in a family too./..

Piye is seriously delusional. He sounds like a poster who used to post in the hip hop forum back in the day and would constantly bash Em, he even went as far as naming a 100 rappers that were better than Em.

Listen to that absolute trash em has done huge amounts of damage to the game he lowered the standards of what's acceptable with Hus bull**** music. He killed rap but he has too much power in the industry for many to speak out.

Eminem being on top seems to hurt some people emotionally. I wonder why.

Feel sorry for me? Delusional? Because my opinion differs to yours? What an idiot you are if I don't agree with a few idiots who don't know Dj cool herc from Dj jazzy jeff? Please not one of you can talk to me about real hip hop.

[Cardinal Buck]

"real hip hop" has to be one of the most annoying terms around

And to answer the question, Eminem is fine lyrically, but I don't listen to him because his delivery turned really grating long ago and I dislike his taste in beats.

Eminem is Garbage full stop he makes trash msic that appeals to trailer park trash. and now we have all of these non rap fans calling him an ATG these people who have not listened to much rap at all and don't know the origins of hip hop outside of google.

The guy is a below average rapper and does not have a classic album. no one over the age of 25 from the hip hop era rates Eminem as anything more than a gimmick.
