Why isn't Eminem the greatest of all time?

[SajN]

Well as people have said it's all about opinions really.

You're fucking norwegian


Yeah


(I am too)

Stay on topic

Sorry Boss

[embm]

he is in my book

[Stanley C.]

Even if you two are not alternative accounts... to be perfectly honest, just leave the forum if you're going to cause trouble for it in the future.

I personally don't see a very bright future for you on TR with such a faulty "introduction", so why don't you just give it up?

i won't let a little kid like you scare me or Evan away from this forum. also notice when you stopped posting, the other guy stopped posting at the same time. Coincidence? i think not

^lol at your sig.

"His Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy" - Eminem. GOAT. Name 1 rapper with better lyrics than that.

Em has so many, many, many, many better lines than that. If you're gonna claim that he is the best, at least write sumthin that proves your point. Damn...

[Stanley C.]

My point still stays relevant.

Why did you bring this up again?

that MIGHT be true, but Ghostface Killers the G.O.A.S., the Greatest Of All Sides.

Em is the greatest of all time.

Most styles mastered, best at any style, best metaphors, best wordplay, best flow(s), supreme self-beat maker, best hooks, best wit, he is the king.

Nope.
Style, ight, eminem got one of the best style changin skills
Luda's metaphors > eminem
Canibus wordplay > eminem
almost any well known producer > eminem
Nate Dogg hooks > eminem's
Joe Budden wittyness > Em's.

No way for me.

Luda's metaphors aren't even close to Em's. Bis' wordplay is lame, he tries so hard to impress but his use of specific vocab doesn't even touch the sides of Em's (Buffalo Bill, Stay WIde Awake, Get U Mad etc.).

Yes there are better producers than Em, I didn't claim he was the best producers. But he creates some of the most memorable beats, The Eminem Show is one of the best produced hip-hop albums period.

Nate Dogg has beautiful smooth hooks but he does one type of hook, he doesn't crate all sorts of powerful mega-hooks like Em does (White America, Without Me etc.)

As for Budden, his wit is okay but again not even approaching Em's wit. As if he's even 10% as witty as Em on say "Fuckin' Crazy" or "Till Hell Freezes Over".

"When I grab a pencil and squeeze it between fingers, I'm not a rapper, I'm a deamon who speaks English, a freak genius, too extreme for the weak and squemish"

"I shower the slang, simple as ABC's, skip over the D's and rock the microphone with E's"

Not even close.

Em is underated as a producer

[timeconsumer]

hes whiny at times, and corny these days, at his peak he was top 3 probably. the fact u called illmatic boring negates anything else u say.

Em is underated as a producer

I agree, but he's not the GOAT producer.
