How Kanye really feels about Eminem

[momentsgolden]

I was watching this video with Kanye and Sway Calloway from about 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFxDuAdhhlQ

Go to around 6:20... basically, he thinks Eminem only rhymes words but he doesnt feel the emotion and therefore (maybe) he is not the biggest fan. Also, at the start of the video when they ask about Jay Z being the best rapper alive he gives Vibe giving Eminem the award...


Just made me realise how the fact Kanye has rarely talked about Eminem when he is SOO outspoken could be a way to be "media-trained". Dunno, it might not be important but kinda found it interesting.

Hes just not fan of him but he does not want to disrespect him at all.

[Amaranthine]

Maybe that's why Em and Kanye haven't worked together.

[xnoxiousx]

Kanye also said that Eminem is the "biggest rapper alive" and no one will be bigger that him, he's talking commercially. That's the best thing about Kanye tho, he's not afraid of letting people know what he thinks of whatever. And I agree about with he said tbh.

How is there no emotion in Em's music?

This is the stupidest thing i've ever heard.
Maybe if you make great music and feature 100 artists, then you'll have the right emotion, ha?
Almost all of his discography is filled with emotion, whether it's dark, humorous or sad emotion...it's still FUCKING EMOTIONS!

ON NOES ! the stans be mad one person is not fan of em

[xnoxiousx]

That's a debatable question just like any question he never said his songs were not emtional. Also he never said any thing like that outright ur assuming.

i dont know if i should make a new thread for every single artist i see but has anyone noticed the HUGE amount of new age rappers saying they were on Eminem growing up? in the last few days i've seen

Lupe
Childish Gambino
Xv
Kanye (almost)
Hopsin
Kendrick Lamar (although he is more a Pac person)
That Graham guy (i hate his music but w/e)

Like, i know people say that "no-one was following in Eminem's footsteps" sometimes around here and how Kanye is widely credited for the decline of Gantsa rap and artistic integrity but Eminem just seems lost in the shuffle in terms of his cultural impact.

I just went to that youtube clip, I think you're overreacting OP, Kanye never said anything about Eminem lacking emotion.

What I believe he said was that Eminem's best quality is lyricism, not emotion, and that is correct.

This is what I took from that clip as well.

I think it's quite obvious Kanye isn't the BIGGEST Eminem fan, but I would be very surprised if he didn't respect him as an artist.

On another note, he described his music perfectly.

BOOOOO! BOOOO!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOO THIS MAN!!
for real though...
"You really fucked me Kim
You really did a number on me
Never knew me cheating on you would come back to haunt me
But we was kids then Kim, I was only 18
That was years ago
I thought we wiped the slate clean
That's fucked up!
(I love you!)
Oh God my brain is racing
(I love you!)
What are you doing?
Change the station I hate this song!
Does this look like a big joke?
(No!)
There's a four year old boy lyin' dead with a slit throat
In your living room, ha-ha
What you think I'm kiddin' you?
You loved him didn't you?"

wheres. the. emotion.

And, TRShady takes yet, ANOTHER L.

dshady89 said it PERFECTLY: "I think you're overreacting OP, Kanye never said anything about Eminem lacking emotion."

Why do you guys get so upset over something name said? You guys just have to bust your stanning nuts all over the place and try to defend Eminem. We all know he has emotion in his music, so why are all of you so quick to post YouTube links, and flat out yell at name?

All he said was

I honestly don't see what's so wrong. Look at the very first sentence in his statement, shouldn't that make you all happy? Tsk tsk.

[Fleka]

Well you can take it both ways. He did say that he wants to have the lines and the structure and the patterns of Eminem, but he wants to add emotions in that too. Who knows what he meant.

But saying that Em has no emotions in his music is just idiotic. The man was at his best when he was an emotional ticking bomb.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

FUCK YOU KANYE!

how could you not the M&M's huh huh you bitch

i will never listen to your genius music again!

[DanWS]

I just watched it, he barely mentions Eminem at all and when he does it he is mentioning him in a positive light. Smh at anyone drawing negativity from this clip. I guess Em news really is dry right now, isn't it...

[TheGentlePlayer]

You guys are over thinking what Kanye actually said...
