Eminem: 'Macklemore Is Dope'

[eminembound]

True, he is nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be lol. He can actually rhyme quite well and craft a good story.

Macklemore is dope for real, and Ryan's production is really really good.

I love Macklemore. The Heist was a great album and his performances are good.

^Yep. There are people who have different opinions. Get used to it.

[Crazee]

I hate every song I've heard by him, but he's not wack. He's average as a technical rapper, I just think he's a fraud who raps so trendy pop culture people will like him.

There are at least 20 white rappers better than him, imo. He's not wack, I just don't get his appeal. I've tried but I can't get into it at all.

Musically Macklemore x Ryan Lewis is fresh as fuck.

[EminemBase]

Em thinks everyone is dope now.

[kkaniff]

Nope, he SAYS everyone is dope.
He's (finally) learnt something.

[eminembound]

But he answered the question 'what do you think of Macklemore & Ryen Lewis?' by saying that 'I think they made a great album.' when he didn't have to. He could've just ignored the question and moved on but he didn't. I think he actually likes them.

What... to be false?

[kkaniff]

Pick battles, cultivate allies, give general compliments so his disapproval bears more weight...
Meh, don't mind me...too much R.Greene and Machiavelli.

[momentsgolden]

There should be an official thread, artists Eminem thinks are dope. With all the compliments

I'm thinking
Big Sean
Bubba Sparks
Paul Wall
Domo Genesis
Nicki Minaj
Lil Wayne
Tyler the Creator
Skylar Grey
Lady Gaga
Slaughterhouse
Macklemore
Kendrick Lamar
Pharoe Monch
Asher Roth

the list goes on and on. I think of all he has complimented, Kendrick sounded the most genuine, enthusiastic and influential. Which, i guess, is a very good standard.

But he never gives disapproval, and it also waters down any approval.

If you approve of everything, you approve of nothing. Your approval becomes everyday.

You don't have to pick a battle or be offensive to dislike something, you can simply say "it's not to my taste, but I understand the appeal" or "can see the talent"... whilst still making it known.

Choosing your words wisely is one thing; obliterating any sense of good or bad is another.

[electroencephalogram]

People are fucking ridiculous with caring so much about technicals IMO

I really think some of you guys have disabilities when the most important thing is how many multis are in a rhyme. Just read some poems by Maya Angelo, Robert Frost, and Emily Dickinson, you guys would think they are wack because they don't have any multis.

[kkaniff]

^ Yup. Hopefully he says he hates somebody's guts soon.
