Moby: Eminem's album is ''a little Pop for me''

[mdemaz]

5-10?
I dunno. I started at 11.

Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is usually understood to be commercially recorded music, often oriented towards a youth market

You're telling me em's biggest market were youth? half the people on this site are teenagers, and claimed to have listened to em since the beginning. guess how old they were when 10 years ago

IT IS ACTUALLY A GENRE
As in it has it's own elements and it's "type" of music. Pop music USED to be considered to be short for "popular music", but the term has since changed to actually become a type of genre

And even if you were right...I don't think ever hearing the words "The Marshall Mathers LP is a pop album" is even possible

Eminem is not a pop artist, I don't give a fuck what you say. Ask anyone if Eminem is a pop artist, you'll get a thousand 's

Not trying to stick up for him here but he's only telling the truth, it 100% deffo is "a little pop" people can argue he did the same thing with Dido but at no point was Stan ever considered a girls song, LTWYL is the girliest song he's ever made, I know he raps, I know the topic of the song is controversial, but Em had to give the ok on that hook before it came out,

"Just gonna staaaaand there and watch me burn!!!!!!" - doesn't sound like it should be anywhere near an Eminem album, and he must of known that, Recovery IS a little pop, doesn't really matter how you define the word aswell, it has been a VERY popular album if your using the word in that way, and if you consider pop as singy type music (which alot of hip-hop fans do, including myself) then the hooks from Talkin to Myself, LTWYL, 25 to Life, Spacebound and Your Never Over make it that kinda "pop" aswell.

i agree, Recovery was a little poppy ... Love the Way You lie, Space Bound, 25 to Life, Youre Never Over are good examples

compared LTWYL to Stan , there is no comparison on the pop scale

Either way moby is full of shit. Listen to untitled and cold wind blows before assuming its pop music you bald headed fuck. Em could of been dissing moby and he wouldn't even know...
And that groupie ranga whore needs to stop dick riding.

and it's also a term used to talk about popular music.

[mangomunky]

^ don't know what initiated the argument but i'm pretty sure moby meant pop as in the genre.

[mdemaz]

I think they gotta call stuff like britney spears SINGING MUSIC!
That will clear the confusion. What about rock and pop though? A lot of bands get labeled that... O_O

[Elision]

:laughing: fuck this bald headed faggot

that's word

[zedzero27]

Moby...

LMAO !!!!!! ... FAG !!!!

[EminemBase]

eminem is the most pop rapper to ever exist. lol. nothing new here. every one of his cds are pop

Yeah, especially MMLP...

lol, do you know what pop is? it's popular music. eminem is the most popular rapper of all time.

he is pop. it's not a bad thing lol.

No it's not you fool.

Pop is its own genre, it's watered down rock and roll that formed in the 50s / 60s. Pop = The Beatles, Elton John etc.

That's good pop, then you have bad pop like Britney Spears etc. but it's music AIMED at a wide audience. Eminem is NOT on any level, never has been, and never has made a single fucking song that is pop. He is 100% hip-hop.

Being CATCHY doesn't = pop. Being popular doesn't = pop. Just means, you're popular. He can't control how many people like him but that doesn't magically change the fucking genre.

He rhymes, he rhymes words over drum loops - he rhymes in rhythmic patterns; he curses, he uses metaphor and simile, punchlines... this is RAPPING. Now, you have good rap, bad rap, cheesy rap ETC. but whatever you want to call anything he does, it's HIIIPPP-HOOOOP.
