I don't think theres normal hate, cos you get the usual twats who say em is wack, which obvs isn't true..
But i think it's a case of some people setting the bar so high for em, that when people are realistic about things away from hype.. they look like they're hating..
E.g. One guy might say 'He's a genius, no one can do it like him, or even come close. Plus Relapse was dope and he's already had 3 classics..'
Whilst i may say 'Em has always kept his skill and had some highlights, but has been incapable of making good music you want to listen to and replay for the last 7 years before recovery.. Relapse was decent, but the sound downplayed the awesome lyricism.. And regarding classics, if you consider hip hop in general, not just your own opinion.. He has a decent debut, and one classic, with some strong, but sometimes inconsistent material throughout in the midst of an influencial career.'
Now in contrast, it seems like i'm hating, when i'm really not.
My Top 5 (in no order)-
Eminem

Biggie Smalls
Royce Da 5'9"

'If you do it, it's only to a degree, i am the AIDS.. No one wants to do it with me..'
