Eminem didn't like Hi my name is?

[masterp]

Hey guys im new here even though ive been lurking for a while, but anyways I've always been curious about this quote.

"One thing I won’t do is put out another song like 'My Name Is,' 'I can't stand that fucking song' he says. 'This album is rawer. Fans looking for bubblegum rap aren't going to get it here." - On the Slim Shady EP

It funny, compared to some bubblegum shit out currently "Hi my name is" is raw as fuck.
With that said I find it weird Em didn't like it. Maybe he's just referring to the blind popularity it got and not the song itself?

don't take everything Eminem said to heart, he's a known hypocrite and his opinions change everyday

1. Where did you find this quote?

2. My name is was on The Slim Shady LP, not on the The Slim Shady EP.

Eminem thought dope songs weren't even that good ten years ago. He generally disliked anything remotely popular anyway.

Now, the best he can do sometimes is mediocre-to-bad...he does songs with Rihanna and Pink and Nicki Minaj. Times change, he's a different person.

I think one of the major problem Em had with pop artist was that he was being categorized as one. So, he dissed pop artists to separate himself from that link.

That's part of it, but in general he was more of a critic back in the day. He had better taste. Now he just likes everyone, it's ridiculous.

I've seen or heard this from him, and yeah it's kind of bubblegum rap in terms of the poppy-ness I guess, minus the actual lyrics

[Evan C.]

Honestly...not really...I mean, until Rihanna and Pink start doing those really saturated, talentless songs with features like Katy Perry and Kesha, I don't consider Em like 'everyone'.

He just did a collab with Nicki Minaj. Who is next, Asher Roth? (who he has said is dope)

He kinda just doesn't give a shit anymore. I mean, it's not like he was some mean snob who wouldn't collab with anyone back then, but he had something resembling a standard in his prime. He turned down Canibus's wack song that he sent him and didn't collab with Madonna (who wanted to collab with him, not sure when though.)

Great song. This is back when Eminem was actually funny.
