50 Cent Says Eminem Is Underrated

[EminemBase]

i dont think he's underrated at all, i mean the whole world knows he's dope lol

The world knows he's dope but he does things and has done things with words and on the mic which are left largely unacknowledged... he's one of the genre's all-time pioneers with language. Rappers like Rakim... despite not even being very big in terms of being known (outside of rap) always get recognized for their word contributions to the game where as with Em... not so much.

Nobody denies he's good but he rarely gets the recognition for how far he's taken it, or how good he is now. I mean... his skills on MMLP2? Insane.

true that...

[StillShaady-]

He's over and underrated at the same time.
All his Stan's claim that everything he releases is the shit
but at the same time there are some haters who say, he ain't even top 10.

[Ares]

Eminem and underrated should never be in the same sentence.

[Solace]

Eminem and underrated should never be in the same sentence.

Except for that one?

solace wins

Calling Eminem underrated is probally the stupidest thing to say, even from 50 cent.

>MMLP2 was not able to reach the epicness of the original IT WAS STILL WELL Revived by critics and hiphopheads
>MMLP2 went double platinum in less than 5 month. Yeezus, sold circa 700 000, Good Kid, Maad City sold 1.200 000 to this date. I consider both really good album.
>Eminem is the still most famous male on Facebook... Or... you can say his the most famous Hip Hop artist in the world


YET HIS FUCKING UNDERRATED. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK

What the fuck are you talking about?
Read again what 50 said: "despite his skills and everything he did for rap, he is still "the white rapper", people still put the skin color before anything and don't give him enough credit". Where did he mention Facebook or sales? And he is right.

My guess is 50 Cent's move to an independent label under Eminem's guidance was Eminem's attempt to disassociate himself from that moron.

[kkaniff]

Your guess is idiotic, as usual.

Probably not. Em's too nice these days.

AYO Snakebeast is cool, you know? He's out there doing his thing, man, he doesn't give a fuck. His threads inspire me to try harder, yo. I respect him, and I would jump at the chance to meet him.

I think as far as rhyming and pure rapping skill goes, this is Eminem at his very best since his career. Now if we're talking about concepts and the music itself then it's obviously his older music that comes out on top but Eminem as a MC on this album was grade A spot-on.

[VINTAGƎ]

He's most definitely underrated.

You ever read some of the stuff on other hip hop forums? They "give" him MMLP. That's it. They don't consider SSLP or TES classic material and they begrudgingly give him MMLP.

I've also heard people say shit like "ok he's nice lyrically but it's not all about lyrics," when...yeah, a lot of it is about lyrics. When most rap artists don't play any instruments, and have other people produce beats for them, yes, lyrics are a big deal. The ability to rhyme words together is a big part of rap music.

There are a few reasons people downplay his skill or his cultural impact on the game. Obviously, his skin color is number one. His subject matter is another thing. People aren't down with songs about getting molested by your step father or shoving a gerbil in your ass. And I can understand that. But at the same time, when he's real, he can't be touched. But a lot of rap fans like to listen to stuff they can live vicariously through.

They like listening to Jay-Z and Kanye West rap about money and material things because it looks cool to play that in your car, or put it as a Facebook status or a tweet. It's trendy to listen to those rappers. Eminem is not trendy to listen to. Popular, yes, but not trendy. People don't bump Eminem to look cool.

Anyway, I'm losing focus here -- Eminem is underrated in the hip hop community. Commercially, of course not. But from a respect standpoint, yes. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.

If anything he's super rated not under, skin colour don't matter anymore and even befre rap god he was already considered best or atleast top 5 by most, he's the only rapper who gets shit about pop collabs because of this, fuck jay z and his J.T collab, i don't hear him getting trashed or the apparent current hip hop "king" kendrick get shit for collabing with fake ass rappers, i don't see drake get bashed for his romeo santos song but if eminem collabs with rihanna, an r&B singer, it's selling out right? That's fucked up, snoop dogg barrily gets shit for his big time crap and miley cyrus collab and he's suppose to be one of the hip hop heavy weights. Eminem is probably rated so high but it's not even overrating, he deserves it. Colour is not an issue, they use it when talking bout him, yes but it's not used against him.
