Why do you like Eminem

[4D]

2Pac rapped about himself also, if he was leadin people he wasn`t really leading them in a positive way either!!
Why do you have to have a positive effect on society, they`re entertainers, Eminem`s documenting on shit that goes on in life, that`s not improving it, but, it`s entertainment and done in such an intelligent way that it borders on art!

Every raps raps about himself, its the essence of rap, but 2pac definately had a lot of effect on ppl - definately more than Eminem.

Eminem is a good artist no doubt, the point i was trying to make is that eminem will have to do much better to even compared to influence Pac had.

As an entertainer eminem is by far a great, but he is no revolutionary to music( so far) it'll take time and aknowledgement from former fans for him to actually be established as a legend.

but why in this forum you ask so fucking hard questions?? loll

i like eminem i think cause because of his lyrics, music, beat everything man! i like him also because i think that he is the only singer in the world that is not afraid to express his ideas on fuckin bush, his mother etc.

The only thing he hasn`t done is got shot, as soon as he dies he`ll be given the respect he deserves. 2Pac was not on the same level as Eminem lyrically, i`m sick of beatin around the bush!!

Its not lyrics im talking about now, i can name about 10 rappers with better rhymes than 2pac.

Im talking about influence.

As i said it`s gonna be a while before we can judge his impact. But i think he`s had even more of an impact than 2Pac. White rappers had no hope of getting any respect or credit before Eminem made it. He made it possible for white people to be heard and not get laughed at for even steppin to a mic. 2Pac didn`t really influence people that much, yes he`s an icon, cos of his looks, his lyrics & his dramatic departure, but, has he really done anything that hasn`t already been done by Rakim or Run Dmc?

he has man, he gave an emotional sence to hip hop, no other rapper could put that kind of emotion into rap.

Run Dmc gave hip hop style and fame no doubt - but they belong to the entertainer category.
If u listen to rakim - he thinks, hes like one of those artists u have to try and understand wat he means.
2 pac was like a poet he said wat he thought.
He did influence people, he influenced alot of rappers that are coming to rise these days.

Eminem made a breakthrough in a black industry. He got bullied because he was white and into hiphop, but didn't give a fuck! And now when he's famous and one of the most powerful artists in the world ever, he gets back at those muthafuckas who mocked him and said that he could never be big. Eminem is, in my opinion, the best rapper that ever existed, way better than Pac. He can write lyrics like no one else can, he can sign any rapper he wants and they'll pop up at #1.

He got the illest flow I've ever heard.
He got the craziest rhymes I've ever heard.
He got a sense of humour that only those who love music can understand.

He's simply the best ever existed!

[> Evil _ MoNkEy <]

Because he's a lyrical genius, one of the best rappers ever.

And he ain't sugarcoated at all, he says what he thinks and feels... i love that. 8)

i agree..... hes probly the most skilled lyrisist EVER, other than Biggie.... and hes totally honest about shit... hes not afraid to speak his mind or tell the truth

i like eminem because i feel like he is one of best lyricists, he is very creative. i like that he has so many differnt flows and he uses all different types of accents and uses his voice differently. he always experiements and grows on each album like you can tell the difference between all his album you cannot get them mixed up and stuff they are all very different. i like that he is a very versatile rapper like he makes all different types of songs he can do storytelling, political, humorous, emotional, club song etc he can do any type of song.

i like that he is honest he says what he thinks and if he don't like someone he just says it, i like that he isnt ashamed of anything and he can just put all his personal stuff out there. i like that he isn't all into the bling bling shit and he isn't all big headed and cocky and he will give props to others. i like that he isn't just using all his fame for himself he is sharing by starting shady records and putting out lots of other rappers. oh yeh also his videos are always really good he never puts out a shitty video that looks like every other rappers. i like that he always works hard and puts a lot of effort into everything he does. and also he is great live in concert.

that's all i can think of now.

Really well said, i totally agree. I also agree with Killa goat, no one is on Eminems level!!

Aspirine, yes 2Pac had some emotional raps "Dear MAma" & Brenda`s Got A Baby". But so has Eminem, not just sad one like that part in "My Dad`s gone crazy" & "When I`m Gone", but, inspirational ones like "Lose Yourself", "Till I Collapse", "Sing For The Moment" & "Fight Music". Also powerful songs like "Mosh" & "White America", CRazy personal songs like "Kim" & "Bonnie & Clyde", amazing stories like the the latter 2 and "Stan". Amzin lyrical brilliance like "Bully" "Lose Yourself" & "Till I Collapse". Funny shit like "Hey Lady", "Without Me", "My Name Is" & "Fack". There`s just no one on Eminems level!!! End Of Fuckin Story!!

[4D]

That`s because he`s modest and he`d be lynched for sayin it. He knows he`s doin shit that`s as good as anybody has ever done, i bet you that much!
