The issue with Em's corny lines

Postby ladelsofgravy » Oct 20th, '13, 04:40

Lots of rappers get away with corny lines. But the reason Em doesn't is maybe because we expect better but also because it's something that it seems like he normally wouldn't do. Like if Eminem started selling a cologne brand or endorsing Honey Nut Cheerios, it wouldn't make sense.

The issue with corny lines is that they're corny.

It doesn't matter who it is, shit lines are shit.

Other rappers don't get away with it, at least not with me. I just don't listen to it. Some people are OK with listening to shitty music, I'm not.

Yee....You'd have to go on their respective fan pages to see if they get away with it or not lol. This is an Eminem fan page.
And where Is ladelsofgravy from? Is it a song name of some sort? That shit sounds weirdly familiar.

em has always been in rejection of stupid fads (preferring to create his own). that's part of what made em so special in his early years. yet he clings onto this one (dumb metaphors) like god commanded him to.

Other rappers do get away with it. I remember people bashing the "ask we're you're headed off to" line from Underground by saying shit like it's corny and might be the worst line on the album. But at the same time people forget that he did that same exact line a bit differently on criminal. Yet nobody hates.

Rappers do get a pass when it comes to that shit, except Em. It's cool to hate on post return Em tbh

Tbh, that's correct that rappers get away with it but Em doesn't. Shitty lines from other rappers get all kinds of passes. Let's look at Black Skinhead. 300 like the Romans. Not only was his reference wrong, but it's also corny and no one ever says "oh mer gerd Black Skinhead suckz0rz cuz of diz lyne". And then people say LTWYL sucks because of "window pane" lmao. No, the bias is pretty clear and it's only because we expect better from Em. Other rappers definitely DO get passes lmao rap is fucking filled with shitty lines from everyone. Em's are the only ones that get bashed, and tbh many of his lines aren't even bad and are better than a lot of punchline-rappers like Wayne and Drake's. His punchlines are so much better than Wayne's, yet Wayne's gets bashed much less.
