Why does it seem like Canada hates Eminem

[Solace]

Er, I'm Canadian, and I HATE Drake.
Lil Wayne is Drake's mentor, right? Wow. No wonder! That's why they both suck. :3

Damnit, that sucks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much that Eminem's banned in Canada!! DDD:
I really wanna see him in concert. I wish I liked Eminem when I was younger! </3

It always amuses me how morons only focus on the names he drops on the album, and on literally NOTHING else.

It's like people define how good a rap album is by how relevant the pop culture references are.

Search for any review for an Eminem album and it will have: "Eminem references ___. Really, Em? ____ was so 2003. Way to be relevant."

Critics have no clue about rap.

Well I agree with that.

Whenever I read a review of Recovery which constantly emphasizes how relevant his references are I feel like tracking down the person that wrote it and punching them in the face.

It's such an inane, boring fucking thing to pick on if critcizing a lyrically-focused album. I mean honestly, focusing on his subject matter, delivery, core-ideas, things of this nature is so much more valid and they all have so much more meat on the bones.

But constantly trying to discredit his relevancy based on how up-to-date his fucking targets (which are almost always complete fantasy-in-nature ANYWAY) is so annoying. As if your relevancy as an artist are depends on how much you watch other people lmao.

They place so much fucking weight on the name-dropping like it really matters to the quality of the writing or his actual lyricism. He may as well be saying totally fictitious names half the time anyway as they're often purposely bizarre in nature. He's just using 'tags' people are aware of in the current climate to any degree so that there's an automatic image to de-construct.

When he does it, it's a passing thought, a flair, an after-effect. If anything, the way in which he chooses to insult or diss somebody should be the focus point. Ie. did he use the common perceptions of X person to a witty effect. But the subject itself is moot.
