Does anyone else out there think that Eminem doesn't get recoginition for the TRULY GOOD songs?

Question

Eminem almost seems to get down-graded upon for those stupid, faddy, sucky, repetitive songs that even HE is said not to like. Make any sense to you?

Answer 1

One of the smartest rappers out there, and I'm not a big rap fan. He has more to say than most (The Beastie Boys are another very intelligent rap act - for those who are paying attention. Probably the "Beatles" of rap.). Those who down-grade smart or thought-provoking rap usually have much less talent (and that's a HUGE pool,..just listen to the piles of ugly, dumb rap...steaming piles!) or are afraid they sound silly by comparison. Run-DMC, Cypress Hill, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z,...all good, in my humble opinion. So many others are a nonsensical waste of recording technology, dragging good rap and rappers down into unfortunate stereotypes.

Answer 2

Eminem's first singles ( my name is, real slim shady, without me, and whatever from encore) are all more commerical songs just so it appeals to a wider audience than the rest of his cd. Eminem has said so himself that he knows which song will be a hit and his first single because they have that cheesy feel he had when he originally put out my name is ( which he wasnt sure to release that song or not at the time he first dropped the slim shady lp). I personally think his best songs are from his first cd, role model, as te world turns, i just dont give a F*ck, and guilty conscious are all classic eminem songs. I just hope his new mixtape the re-up gets back to the slim shady side of him rather than marshal mathers
