Quotes on Eminem's greatness...

-R.A The Rugged Man sucks

He's got lyrics but his voice sounds like one of them kids who rode the short bus to school.

I just dont like his music, I try to listen to it and thought it sucked.

Why? The Game's a fucking idiot.

What's funny is even those who diss him begrudgingly admit he's dope. Canibus (LOL), Everlast...only one I've seen who claims to be unimpressed (besides Benzino, but he's not even a real person) is Immortal "horrible rap" Technique, Queen of the audible and distracting breathing and amateur, net-head-in-his-basement flow. And even he resorted to sampling one of Eminem's lines from "Patiently Waiting" for one of his 489 conspiracy theory songs.

Lol so true.

Not a quote, but Elton John calls Em frequently and was helping him through his addiction.

Elton. John.

That's just cool. Elton John, a gay man, understands Em's lyrics and doesn't taken offense. If only more people were like that. Sorry that's a lil off topic.

Yep, I love that.

"From the start, I've always admired Eminem's thinking. That's the reason I wanted to appear on the Grammys with him when I was asked, despite all the nonsense talked about his being homophobic and crap like that. Let the Boy Georges and the George Michaels of the world get up in a twist about it if they don't have the intelligence to see his intelligence.

Eminem has the balls to say what he feels and to make offensive things funny. That's very necessary today in America, with people being muzzled and irony becoming a lost art. Artists like Eminem who use their free speech to get a point across are vitally important. There just aren't many people in the world with balls that big and talent that awesome."

One of my favourite quotes.

More quotes from notable gay people, preferably men, who defend him against homophobia accusations?

There is a book "Eminem Talking", and there it says:
P.Diddy, Puff Daddy, Diddy...: something like "nobody wants to fuck with him when we talk about music"

Missy Elliot:"he is the most exciting rapper out there"

Dre:"If he keeps doing what he does now, he will be bigger than Michael Jackson", "some of the hardest nikkas I know think this little white boy is great", "in my whole career i never found anything on demo tapes, till I heard him. I said-find him now"

Rakim:"he`s new album is great, I mean it`s Eminem, but he got better, he` style is more raw. He brings skill back to the game"

Don`t remember how exactly they said it, cause I can` find the book.

Does anyone have this book? I want to read the right quotes

A quote from the book I'm reading right now:

“MCing, to me,” Common once said by way of describing Eminem’s lyrical excellence, “is when you hear a dude say something and you tell your homie, ‘You heard what he said?’”

I haven't read the whole book yet, but so far this is the only quote, and this book isn't about Eminem but the author uses his lyrics as examples.
The book is called "Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop". It's written by Adam Bradley. I downloaded it a few months ago, and I have no idea where.
Here's the Amazon description:

If asked to list the greatest innovators of modern American poetry, few of us would think to include Jay-Z or Eminem in their number. And yet hip hop is the source of some of the most exciting developments in verse today. The media uproar in response to its controversial lyrical content has obscured hip hop’s revolution of poetic craft and experience: Only in rap music can the beat of a song render poetic meter audible, allowing an MC’s wordplay to move a club-full of eager listeners.
Examining rap history’s most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, literary scholar Adam Bradley argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. Book of Rhymes explores America’s least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves.

I'll post the download link if I find it.

There was a possible Bob Dylan quote on him too...

I can't remember exactly but it was 'suspected' to be about Em, I think in Bob Dylan's book or something. It sounded like it was, something like "then there was a guy, from Detroit" and it was like... a little poetic quote about him.

Can't remember where to find it though.
