Ya I kind of took a little break listening Eminem as well but still find time through out the day too hear a couple songs or so, I agree prime EM was a problem. Kendrick has the potential to be one of the greats.
Who is the second that gives you great music?
That 50 record

the first is eminem as I said. I remember when I was a kid and wanted to record music from radio.
my favorite songs were "the real slim shady" and "stan" but I didn't know the songs were from the same artists because of different flows.
later my friend gave me The marshal mathers lp and I heard "kill you".
At the end of the song I said to myself, "I enjoy listening to a few songs but the only songs that are on the TOP are the real slim shady, stan and THIS ONE, THIS IS ART and the rest is far far far away from them, it has nothing to do with music for me"
Then I discovered that every song came from the same artist
the second is 50 back in the days
I enjoyed listening to a LOT of artists but the old 50... same shit than eminem
if you like that record, then you should listen to what he has done before "get rich or die tryin"
for exemple : "how to steal", "50 cent feat Nas - who u Rep with", "I'm A Hustler","50 bars"... damn the whole "power of the dollar" album, the whole "guess who's back" ! I remember Eminem saying at that time " it's like every song is my favorite song"
