When... Eminem has two verses and somebody else is on the hook lmao.

So he has one verse, written by somebody else (probably Em). And he's also a producer, and didn't even produce the track, how absurd. He's literally a rap actor then. Just says lines written for him.


This song came on the rap tv channel yesterday, and it was labeled Dr. Dre/Skylar Grey so yeah, I feel you on how stupid it is not being considered an eminem song :facepalm

Congrats on them getting the nominations. Chances are the winners will be either "All of the lights" for both categories. Or "I'm on one" and "Otis". Let's be honest as good of a song as "I Need a Doctor" is, the Grammys are all about what is popular and has sales. (of course they have exceptions liked when they gave away Em's AOTY award to arcade Fire last year.)

I agree, I believe its going to be I'm On One vs All Of The Lights. The Grammy's are going through their "phase" some times they go with the pretentious stuck up prissy bitch schtick, for example what happened last year and they go for the indie artists and then we have the other side of the Grammy's which is beginning to show. The popularity side, the only explanation as to how Rhianna was nominated for AOTY. Sadly they now started to go towards that direction instead of 10 years ago when people were selling mills, by those terms Eminem would have won everything lol.

I think you have to write your own lyrics to be a rapper. I mean, if you were to be pedantic, technically anybody who rapped is a rapper but, to truly be one...

Dre gets his shit written for him, he's an actor, he reads lines. Doesn't create ideas.

We realize this fact, but can this fact be put in the open? I don't think so.
