The King Of Controversy! Guess who?

[PornMaster]

Eminem!!

Well.. I'm sitting here listening to him, And some of the stuff he raps about is just fucked up!

We all know he is the king of controversy, right?

Their has to be fans of eminem here, right?

Personally i have bought all his CD's to support him! Thats a must!

But anyways, The meaning of this post is.. i wanna know your opinions on him.. so what are they?

[cpugeniusmv]

mmmmmmm

<opinion>rap is crap</opinion>

[Rickio]

He's boring, the white kids just needed a rapper and he's the one.

Like Elivis is King when all he did was emulate Black Rock n Roll. hmmm see how it goes?


peace

Man you kinda on a roll today, eh CPU?

But I don't think rap is crap, i just don't appreciate much country, although i can watch Shania Twain all day long, hell i'll even listen to her if it means i get to stare at her for very long periods of time, maybe even w/ out a bathroom break

[cheapprick]

I have to give him some credit. Ice Ice Baby was a big hit.

[Miskatonic]

At least Elvis had a killer singing voice, Eminem is just a joke. The music industry knows that stupid white kids eat up (C)rap music and buy it like mad, so they needed to promote a white rapper to cash in. Just as Rickio mentioned. I really detest black pop culture, and most white pop culture.

[rapsuperstar]

eminem is the best, i dunno wut u foos are trippin on. too much computer for u :shy

God even Maaya Sakamoto can sing along to a tune...Eminem couldn't keep in tune if his life depended on it. Bawhahaha....even Sayaka could out sing Eminem's sorry as and she's fuckin' 14....sad...very sad...

Now we await PowerMan's opinion.

Peace

haha.... thats good

anywho, i cant stand cra... i mean rap... you cant understand anything, all they do is talk/sing about their muy expensivo cars, boats, etc, flaunt their mula, etc. that doesn't constitute a good 'tune' for me.

[Shadow, Thief of the Sun]

To me - Eminem is the same thing as Vanilla Ice. I don't like rap at all, but at least he have some humor. Anyway, people will tire of him very fast and in some 3-4 years from now his popularity will go down just because tricky producers will have someone to replace him (just as in case with Britney Spears, they have hundreds of her clones with guitars and pianos and her popularity now is equal to zero)

[endersgame21]

I think eminem isn't that talented but i do listen to rap and some rapstars are pretty good.

Also, you guys know that eminem didnt sing Ice Ice Baby, right?

I don't want to flame you or make you feel stupid WB, but that is not a very intelligent comment as it does not apply to all, there are a few smart and socially aware rappers out there, i said a few, like Talib Kweli and Hi Tek, Mos Def can be one sometimes, but some call him racist, o well, just a thought, peace

[Siskabush]

Eminem is one of the very few rap artists i listen to.
He is a good artist, and at least he speaks his mind unlike other rappers who rap about gettin laid 24/7, those gay air force one shoes (That damn song is a DAMN COMMERCIAL, get it off the airwaves!), and the many who rap about thier cunt/dick.

Eminem is the only unique, not sold out yet rapper
Dre is good too, he tells it like it is.

[endersgame21]

How fucking immature are you CJ. At first i felt sorry for you in the other thread because you were getting flamed a lot and now i know why. CCSDUDE was right, you are a fucking twat. Get a fucking life bitch.

sorry... i guess i generalized too much. i personally cannot say that i have heard of any of those rappers. maybe they are what you say they are, but i'd venture to say that they are not very popular. or atleast not mainstream, like eminem is. so basically, what i meant to say, was that the mainstream rap music is worthless in my opinion.

i can respect your choices of music; you dont just listen to the mainstream stuf; not just jumping on the bandwagon. hell, i'd be fine with somone liking polka so long as they weren't being influenced solely by what others think.

np man, if i help u see things a bit diff, then that's all i ask, but I do agree about the pop rap, but i guess that's just what the masses want, if you've ever read "Julius Caesar" by Shakespear, he paints a nice picture of how stupid the masses can be, can't say I never listen to the pop rap though, sometimes it's just mindless fun for gettin' crazy and havin' a good time, like at a party or club or somethin, I listen to many things, never polka though, LOL, i just wouldnt know where to find it

[wonderboy2005]

well im fine with peeps listening to pop-rap, if thats what they really like. what i cant stand is when peeps listen to music because they think its the cool music; the stuff that everyone else listens to. my friends think im an idiot... i listen to rammstein, blue man group, etc... and they all listen to the shit you see on TRL. argh... is carson daily still on that god forsaken show?

[PornMaster]

Hmm, You all have different thoughts on Eminem, But why? why do you hate him so much?


And BTW, who keeps calling me an idiot?? LOL

[Jared592]

Personally, I think Eminem's a d-bag, but a d-bag who's good at what he does (play on white kids' angst and negative energy). He's good at making people pay attention to him and holding their attention. Also, some songs have very catchy melodies/beats.

On a side note, I'd like to make a public plea for people to stop using the "Huhuh, I'm clever, Crap has the word RAP in it...kekeke...I'm am Kl3VAR!!". It is painfully worn out (as if it were clever in the first place) and, if anything, displays an inability by rap haters to constructively criticize it, instead relying on "HUHUH!!! RAP=CRAP!!! w0000t!!!! HUHUHUH!!!" I mean, I don't like NSYNC but I don't go around referring to them as NSUCK (huhuhuh I am TEH FUNNAY!!!!LOLASFLFSLFSDSDAF)....

lol... sorry jared... didn't know you were offended by it. i wont do it anymore.

anyways, i dont like eminem because of all the negeativity he brings fourth. i'll admit, his songs are somwhat 'catchy', but when you listen to the actual message, it makes you wonder....

Thats what I love about a mute button . . . golden silence . . and Shania twains ass. Country almost seems defendable.

Rickio, I saw Emenem on an MTV sping break a few years ago when he was younger, he come on right before Bustah Rymes, what a joke. I do agree that some of his earlier stuff was a bit funny tho.

[PowerMan57two]

I think he's the best. personally i don't care if other peopl on these forums gate him, cause i know there are going to people that do. But Krell knows I like eminem lol. anyways yeah i buy all his cds too, to support him, i even bought his 2nd cd twice (the marshall mathers) because theres 1 different track on each one. so i have a total of 23 eminem cds!!! yup 23!!! i buy all hims imports, singles, remix stuff, everything!!! and as u can tell by my signiture i have i like him a lot!! but yeah thats what i say about him, awsome guy! best rapper/musical person ever to live in my time, and beyond!!! (remember this is all i my opinion!)

[PowerMan57two]

as i was sitting here reading some other posts u guys were talking about what kind of music ya' like, lol i like rap it's my favorite kind of music, rap/pop

they talk fast, and do talk about money /drugs! i think it's pretty damn funny and stuff! i have the busta rhymes cd, Genisis. and when i listen to break ya neck, man i give them credit for that shit, i'd never be able to talk or rap that fast. but i also like eminem because i can totally understand what he's saying, and it shows ya can get out of hell when your living like shit! lol hahahaha

LOL, 23 Eminem albums, a bit much for me, but fuck it it's your money, I bought all 3 of his albums and I like him as an artist, but I do think his time is up and that he is fading slowly, but we'll see maybe he'll prove me wrong, all I know is that I'm sorta tired of him and although i won't hate on the guy, I probably won't end up buying any of his next albums

[WRFan]

Eminem music is not bad, I would never download it from kazaa or buy it, but when I see a videoclip on tv, I don't switch it off, but just listen for a couple of minutes, why not. But actually the whole Eminem controversy is not real, you know. It has been created by his recording label to boost sales of his music. And I think most of you just fall for it and start this discussion - Eminem is stupid, Eminem is not stupid, hell, who cares? It's like a fashion - today it's fashionable to bitch about Britney and tomorrow about Eminem, but we don't mean a word of what we are saying. He's just a singer, so either you like him or not. Totally subjective, and that's ok. Personally I just ignore the whole discussion of Eminem, I don't care what he says or whether he slaps his wife or whatever. He's too unimportant. Listen to his music and then forget him when the music is over.

[Platinum Theory]

God even Maaya Sakamoto can sing along to a tune...Eminem couldn't keep in tune if his life depended on it. Bawhahaha....even Sayaka could out sing Eminem's sorry as and she's fuckin' 14....sad...very sad...

umm, maybe im late but who are these people?, oh and i like eminems flows, some of his songs are tight. rap is my life and Country *cough, hillbilly music, cough* i just cant get into it. i like heavy metal, rock, anything that has a electric guitar is tight, except of its pop (Please Obliterate Openly), man i hate them *shudders*

[goweropolis]

Don't give more attention to Eminem. He's got enough money/success. Let's talk about some great rap artists that are funky and talented like:

Jurassic 5
Missy E
Blackalicious
The Roots

All these artists have new albums this year that were really great. Check 'em out on a file sharing network near you.

[crackerjacker]

I like eminem he has good lyrics *i like 2 pac 2 man*

[crackerjacker]

well im fine with peeps listening to pop-rap, if thats what they really like. what i cant stand is when peeps listen to music because they think its the cool music; the stuff that everyone else listens to. my friends think im an idiot... i listen to rammstein, blue man group, etc... and they all listen to the shit you see on TRL. argh... is carson daily still on that god forsaken show?

I dont care about what others say about the music I listen to because I am listening to it and I am not hurting no one by listening to it. I dont care if others listen to stuff I dont like, but I am one of those people who will listen to something at least once before I say I hate it. And if I say I hate the artist its because I do, but I can always change my mind and like them again.
Because thats my right!

[Auggie2k]

Eminem is a talented kick ass artist with lyrics that mean something and are like no other!

Fuck you if you don't like him. Everybody has a right to an opinion and a certain taste!

[ratbag]

his older stuff wasn't bad the latest one i can't listen to it's that damn bad what the hell happened doesn't he give a shit anymore?

[tomars]

im not really into eminem and im not really into rap as a whole EXCEPT kanye west
kanye west is the only rapper around at the moment that i like because he doesnt try to be a gangsta. didnt he used to be like a shop assistant at gap or something? hes the only one in the mainstream with any credibility and plus he mkes some decent tunes. and his lyrics are often about stuff that people can relate to and he is good writer because they make you smile
anyway eminem bad, kanye west good

[CRLocky]

Eminem has talent, with a perspective to get across to listeners. But his time has past. Like a majority of rappers out there, he sings about the same old shit.
He's not kickass anymore.

[Krell]

There are rappers in every country that are better than Ememen, you dont even have to try to come up with alternatives, its too easy

Firstklas and AI are two jp rappers that would kiss his no talent white ass right off a stage


.

[Undying Wizard NHD]

once again , I am The King Of Controversy




I like used to like one song ( if you can call it that ) "Sing for" just cause it sounds good


now I like 2 songs, the one above and that one shoot , two shoots , all I hear is gun shoots , good beat- bad lyrics

[origin]

Like with any other subject from rap music to gay marriage. Each person is going to have his/her own individual opinion on the matter and part of bieng a member of a democratic society is respecting each others opionions even though we more than likely will not agree with them. Me personally I do like eminem over the majority of other rappers because of his lyrical quality he has something real to talk about although it might not be something you can relate to it certainly has substance versus rappers like Mannie Fresh ummm LiL Wayne to name a few. But see that is only half of the formula Eminem is fortunate enough to have dr.dre as a producer on most of his albums and we all know DRE he is one of the best if not the best at what he does he is a powerhouse producer.point proven. good day.

Krell, you're back????????

????

Whatss up with dat yoll?

[Excrement_Cranium]

Anyone who admits to not liking rap, and then continues to provide their opinion on a rap artist... you need to take my name. It's like me saying I don't know anything about physics and then calling Einstien an idiot. Come on.

Eminem is pretty creative. However, I find the best comes out when he just opens up about his life. No different than most artists, he probably does best all fucked up too.

And to invite the flames... it would be no different than: Elvis, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams Sr., Ray Charles. All of these artists were fucked up individuals who's contorted views of our world allowed them to create musical tapestries that NSYNC, Creed, Nickelback, Nelly, Brooks n' Dunn, any category cookie cutter artist could never even imagine.

Just my two cents....

[Excrement_Cranium]

You realize that Rammstein in Germany is like the Backstreet Boys here, don't you. Good music, but it's all pop somewhere. I mean... friggin David Hasselhoff sells records overseas. I like pop, it's designed to be liked. The hard part is to find intelligent pop, or pop that goes in a new direction. Not really since boy/girl band shit and Nickelback/Creed/Alterbridge has hit the radio has there been any real pop that does anything.

Oh, and for the Eminem/Dre connection, and the white boy selling records thing.... look for a song by R.A. The Rugged Man called lessons. It was on cnet music a while back... might be around out there somewhere, think it's on the Die, Rugged Man, Die! album.

[tomars]

i have decided : dizzee rascal is the best mc or rapper or whatever he would be called

[FrozenShadow23]

If you want a good white rapper, look to Sage Francis

[SanDiegoKid]

It's just silly when any rap artists' first album is full of crazy talk about how everyone should just leave them alone and everyone (cops, fans, etc) is out to get them, as if there were some controversy to begin with.

[Boumtje23]

He would be a good canidate

[Sk8er Boi]

Eminem is not a rapper. He's an incredibly smart business man.

And his older stuff was better, "Encore" (along with his Protogés 'The Massacre') were abysmal.

I used to be hardcore into rap and hip-hop but since then I have moved on to more of a rock/emo taste in music. I still like Missy though, I always thought she was extremely under-rated.

Second album... second. Stan, The Way I am, all on the Marshal Mathers LP, not the Slim Shady LP. The Slim Shady LP was well put together mindless dribble.

My bad. I must have mixed his ass up with DMX.
