No other rapper's fans are this picky. It's why the hip hop community in general hates Eminem fans.
Em fans love a drama and it's been one after another since the comeback. Roughly in order..
1. Accents - Relapse. In many ways my favourite drama as the accents were almost universally slammed and greeted with disbelief until Recovery when people began pining for them again. Now looked back on as Vintage. 10/10
2. Choppy flow Drop The World and Forever - quite a mild drama as everyone quickly got used to it. 4/10
3.
Punchlines - Recovery. A gradually building drama as people began dissecting his lyrics post initial album hype. 6/10
4.
SHOUTING!!! - post Recovery songs and features. People were immensely upset by this. 8/10
5.
His voice is shot - culminating in Roman's Revenge where it was generally accepted he had broken his vocal chords. Often talked about with a sense of despair and regret. 7/10
6.
DOUBLE TIME TOO FAST - Hell The Sequel. A split in the camp? Many loved this style. 3/10.
7.
Food References - Occasional features in non-album years. A personal favourite of mine as it culminated in SPA-GET-EVEN and the use of meatball as an insult. 7/10
8.
whispering/shouting Richard, Welcome to Our House, Radioactive. Generally viewed as better than just shouting and therefore not too traumatising. 5/10.
--MMLP2 generally no complaints?--
9.
Too-many-syllables-per-line-bad-flow
- Calm Down, Twerk Dat, DvE. Let's see where this one goes..
