Eminem Appreciation Thread

Really can't stand Eminem but to each their own.

Not a rap fan at all, but I don't find Eminem to be particularly "musical". He can cram a lot of wordplay into his verses for sure and he can build to an emotionally rousing crescendo like few others (with plenty of of help from production values I might add), but his style is more blunt-force trauma than the lilt and flow of a Snoop Dogg/Jay Z, the smooth technicality of Nas or the lived-in grittiness of the guys in Mobb Deep. Plus his voice is something you might reasonably expect on an episode of Sesame Street.

Lil Wayne and Eminem have had some great collabs. No Love and Drop The World are both very good songs lyrically and musically

You're missing the great J-Roc. Microphone Assassin...

Just had a listen. Pretty good.

I don’t know if it’s really classed in the same genre, but I quite like a lot of the Australian stuff floating around. Super accessible, but completely different to the origins of rap.

Does this include Hilltop Hoods? Cosby Sweater is gun.

Just wondering what L&L's views are on what's happened with the transformation in places like Hurstville tbh
